[Xenomai-core] Patches: README.install & examples/common for cross-compiling

[Xenomai-core] Patches: README.install & examples/common for cross-compiling

[Niklaus Giger]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 630 bytes --]

Hi

After switching my development environment to a MacMini and using the ELDK 4.0 
I discovered that my examples for building using a cross-compiler for my 
PPC405 target were not correct. (Maybe a few of my previous problems were 
caused by not correctly specifying the target ARCH.)

Also I would like to adapt and document the examples/common/Makefile to the 
needs for cross-compiling (KSRC/XENOCONFIG/DESTDIR useage). Also I added a 
target "install" to copy the generated application to $(DESTDIR)/usr/xenomai.

Could someone please commit these (or a improved version of it) patches?

Thanks in advance

...and this seems contradictory to me. If you use the ELDK, then it's
"CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-";  also,  I  would  expect   that   you   set
"--target=powerpc-linux".  I mean, with ELDK, "powerpc-405-linux-gnu"
will neither work as CROSS_COMPILE prefix, nor as  a  host  /  target
name.

Wolfgang Denk

Thanks your for spotting my errors. I should have rechecked this patch before 
submitting it, as it was based on a outdated script. Please review the 
attached patch again which is based on a script which actually ran and 
produced a running kernel.

I would also thanks you for providing the ELDK. It was really a lot easier
to setup the ELDK once I switched from my PPC PowerBook to a MacMini. I can 
really recommend it.

The only addition to the ELDK I made to run xeno-test was to copy my 
Debian /usr/bin/which to the rootfs.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.

"/path/to/eldk" might be misleading - at least  it  needs  an  expla-
nation;  I  would interpret this as "/opt/eldk", which is the default
installation directory of the ELDK, while I guess you  actually  mean
"/opt/eldk/ppc_4xx" ?

Be careful here. "modules_install" will try to run the native depmod,
which will not work. Recent builds (*) of the ELDK will allow to  add
a "DEPMOD=/opt/eldk/usr/bin/depmod.pl" argument to the make call.

[This extension was added in July, so you will have to wait for  ELDK
version 4.1 unless you build the ELDK from scratch from the sources.]


Thanks, and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Hm, I don't have examples/common/Makefile in my SVN Xenomai tree. And 
/usr/xenomai should be the configurable.

For the time beeing, we must distinguish between --arch=ppc (ARCH=ppc) 
and --arch=powerpc (ARCH=powerpc). The latter is not yet supported.

For the ELDK CROSS_COMPILE must be ppc_4xx- for AMCC 4xx processors.

    $ $xenomai_root/configure --host=ppc-linux

    already works fine for all ELDK tool chains. The --prefix should also
    be configurable.

Does the attached patch look better for you (using EXEC_PREFIX) ?
