Installing Cygwin
|
2012-04-07 16:38:13 -03:00
|
|
|
-----------------
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NuttX may be installed and built on a Linux system or on a Windows
|
|
|
|
system if Cygwin is installed. Installing Cygwin on your Windows PC
|
|
|
|
is simple, but time consuming. See http://www.cygwin.com/ for
|
|
|
|
installation instructions. Basically you just need to download a
|
|
|
|
tiny setup.exe program and it does the real, internet installation
|
|
|
|
for you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some Cygwin installation tips:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Install at C:\cygwin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Install EVERYTHING: "Only the minimal base packages from the
|
|
|
|
Cygwin distribution are installed by default. Clicking on categories
|
|
|
|
and packages in the setup.exe package installation screen will
|
|
|
|
provide you with the ability to control what is installed or updated.
|
|
|
|
Clicking on the "Default" field next to the "All" category will
|
|
|
|
provide you with the opportunity to install every Cygwin package.
|
|
|
|
Be advised that this will download and install hundreds of megabytes
|
|
|
|
to your computer."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you use the "default" installation, you will be missing many
|
|
|
|
of the Cygwin utilities that you will need to build NuttX. The
|
|
|
|
build will fail in numerous places because of missing packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After installing Cygwin, you will get lots of links for installed
|
|
|
|
tools and shells. I use the RXVT native shell. It is fast and reliable
|
|
|
|
and does not require you to run the Cygwin X server (which is neither
|
|
|
|
fast nor reliable). The rest of these instructions assume that you
|
|
|
|
are at a bash command line prompt in either Linux or in Cygwin shell.
|
|

Download and Unpack
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download and unpack the NuttX tarball. If you are reading this, then
|
|
|
|
you have probably already done that. After unpacking, you will end
|
|
|
|
up with a directory called nuttx-version (where version is the NuttX
|
|
|
|
version number). You might want to rename that directory nuttx to
|
|
|
|
match the various instructions in the documentation and some scripts
|
|
|
|
in the source tree.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-07 16:38:13 -03:00
|
|
|
Semi-Optional apps/ Package
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All NuttX libraries and example code used to be in included within
|
|
|
|
the NuttX source tree. As of NuttX-6.0, this application code was
|
|
|
|
moved into a separate tarball, the apps tarball. If you are just
|
|
|
|
beginning with NuttX, then you will want to download the versioned
|
|
|
|
apps tarball along with the NuttX tarball. If you already have your
|
|
|
|
own product application directory, then you may not need the apps
|
|
|
|
tarball.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is call "Semi-optional" because if you don't have some apps/
|
|
|
|
directory, NuttX will *fail* to build!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download the unpack the apps tarball in the same directly where you
|
|
|
|
unpacked the NuttX tarball. After you unpack the apps tarball, you
|
|
|
|
will have a new directory called apps-version (where the version
|
|
|
|
should exactly match the version of the NuttX tarball). Again, you
|
|
|
|
might want to rename the directory to simply apps/ to match what
|
|
|
|
you read in the documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After unpacking the apps tarball, you will have two directories side
|
|
|
|
by side like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+----+----+
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
nuttx/ apps/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is important because the NuttX build will expect to find the
|
|
|
|
apps directory in that (default) location. )That default location
|
|
|
|
can be changed by editing your NuttX configuration file, but that
|
|
|
|
is another story).
|

|
Installation Directories with Spaces in the Path
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The nuttx build directory should reside in a path that contains no
|
|
|
|
spaces in any higher level directory name. For example, under
|
|
|
|
Cygwin, your home directory might be formed from your first and last
|
|
|
|
names like: "/home/First Last". That will cause strange errors when
|
|
|
|
the make system tries to build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Actually, that problem is probably not to difficult to fix. Some
|
|
|
|
Makefiles probably just need some paths within double quotes]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I work around spaces in the home directory name, by creating a
|
|
|
|
new directory that does not contain any spaces, such as /home/nuttx.
|
|
|
|
Then I install NuttX in /home/nuttx and always build from
|
|
|
|
/home/nuttx/nuttx.

Notes about Header Files
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
2012-03-22 15:44:06 -03:00
|
|
|
Other C-Library Header Files.
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
2012-03-22 15:44:06 -03:00
|
|
|
Some toolchains are built with header files extracted from a C-library
|
|
|
|
distribution (such as newlib). These header files must *not* be used
|
|
|
|
with NuttX because NuttX provides its own, built-in C-Library. For
|
|
|
|
toolchains that do include built-in header files from a foreign C-
|
|
|
|
Library, NuttX must be compiled without using the standard header files
|
|
|
|
that are distributed with your toolchain. This prevents including
|
|
|
|
conflicting, incompatible header files (such as stdio.h).
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
2012-03-22 15:44:06 -03:00
|
|
|
Header Files Provided by Your Toolchain.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-07 11:08:37 -03:00
|
|
|
Certain header files, such as setjmp.h, stdargs.h, and math.h, may still
|
|
|
|
be needed from your toolchain and your compiler may not, however, be able
|
2012-03-22 15:44:06 -03:00
|
|
|
to find these if you compile NuttX without using standard header file.
|
|
|
|
If that is the case, one solution is to copy those header file from
|
|
|
|
your toolchain into the NuttX include directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Duplicated Header Files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are also a few header files that can be found in the nuttx/include
|
|
|
|
directory which are duplicated by the header files from your toolchain.
|
|
|
|
stdint.h and stdbool.h are examples. If you prefer to use the stdint.h
|
|
|
|
and stdbool.h header files from your toolchain, those could be copied
|
|
|
|
into the nuttx/include/ directory. Using most other header files from
|
|
|
|
your toolchain would probably cause errors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
math.h
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even though you should not use a foreign C-Library, you may still need
|
|
|
|
to use other, external libraries with NuttX. In particular, you may
|
|
|
|
need to use the math library, libm.a. The math libary header file,
|
2012-04-07 11:08:37 -03:00
|
|
|
math.h, is a special case. If you do nothing, the standard math.h
|
|
|
|
header file that is provided with your toolchain will be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a custom, architecture specific math.h header file, then
|
|
|
|
that header file should be placed at arch/<cpu>/include/math.h. There
|
|
|
|
is a stub math.h header file located at include/nuttx/math.h. This stub
|
|
|
|
header file can be used to "redirect" the inclusion to an architecture-
|
|
|
|
specific math.h header file. If you add an architecture specific math.h
|
|
|
|
header file then you should also define CONFIG_ARCH_MATH_H=y in your
|
|
|
|
NuttX Configuration file. If CONFIG_ARCH_MATH_H is selected, then the
|
|
|
|
top-level Makefile will copy the stub math.h header file from
|
|
|
|
include/nuttx/matn.h to include/math.h where it will become the system
|
|
|
|
math.h header file. The stub math.h header file does nothing other
|
|
|
|
than to include that archicture-specific math.h header file as the
|
|
|
|
system math.h header file.

CONFIGURING NUTTX
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

|
|

2012-04-07 16:38:13 -03:00
|
|
|
Instantiating "Canned" Configurations
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
"Canned" NuttX configuration files are retained in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where <board-name> is the name of your development board and <config-dir>.
|
|
|
|
Configuring NuttX requires only copying three files from the <config-dir>
|
|
|
|
to the directly where you installed NuttX (TOPDIR):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/Make.def to ${TOPDIR}/Make.defs
|
2012-03-22 15:44:06 -03:00
|
|
|
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
Make.defs describes the rules needed by you tool chain to compile
|
|
|
|
and link code. You may need to modify this file to match the
|
|
|
|
specific needs of your toolchain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/setenv.sh to ${TOPDIR}/setenv.sh
|
2012-03-22 15:44:06 -03:00
|
|
|
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
setenv.sh is an optional convenience file that I use to set
|
|
|
|
the PATH variable to the toolchain binaries. You may chose to
|
|
|
|
use setenv.sh or not. If you use it, then it may need to be
|
|
|
|
modified to include the path to your toolchain binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/defconfig to ${TOPDIR}/.config
|
2012-03-22 15:44:06 -03:00
|
|
|
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
The defconfig file holds the actual build configuration. This
|
|
|
|
file is included by all other make files to determine what is
|
|
|
|
included in the build and what is not. This file is also used
|
|
|
|
to generate a C configuration header at include/nuttx/config.h.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
General information about configuring NuttX can be found in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
${TOPDIR}/configs/README.txt
|
|
|
|
${TOPDIR}/configs/<board-name>/README.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a configuration script in the tools/ directory that makes this
|
|
|
|
easier. It is used as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd ${TOPDIR}/tools
|
|
|
|
./configure.sh <board-name>/<config-dir>

NuttX Configuration Tool
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An automated tool is under development to support re-configuration
|
|
|
|
of NuttX. This tool, however, is not yet quite ready for general
|
|
|
|
usage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This automated tool is based on the kconfig-frontends application
|
|
|
|
available at http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/kconfig-frontends
|
|
|
|
(A snapshot of this tool is also available at ../misc/tools). This
|
|
|
|
application provides a tool called 'mconf' that is used by the NuttX
|
|
|
|
top-level Makefile. The following make target is provided:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make menuconfig
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This make target will bring up NuttX configuration menus. The
|
|
|
|
'menuconfig' target depends on two things:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The Kconfig configuration data files that appear in almost all
|
|
|
|
NuttX directories. These data files are the part that is still
|
|
|
|
under development (patches are welcome!). The Kconfig files
|
|
|
|
contain configuration information for the configuration settings
|
|
|
|
relevant to the directory in which the Kconfig file resides.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: For a description of the syntax of this configuration file,
|
|
|
|
see ../misc/tools/kconfig-language.txt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The 'mconf' tool. 'mconf' is part of the kconfig-frontends
|
|
|
|
package. You can download that package from the website
|
|
|
|
http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/kconfig-frontends or you
|
|
|
|
can use the snapshot in ../misc/tools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building may be as simple as 'configure; make; make install'
|
|
|
|
but there may be some build complexities, especially if you
|
|
|
|
are building under Cygwin. See the more detailed build
|
|
|
|
instructions at ../misc/tools/README.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'make install' step will, by default, install the 'mconf'
|
|
|
|
tool at /usr/local/bin/mconf. Where ever you choose to
|
|
|
|
install 'mconf', make certain that your PATH variable includes
|
|
|
|
a path to that installation directory.

TOOLCHAINS
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cross-Development Toolchains
|
2012-04-07 16:38:13 -03:00
|
|
|
----------------------------
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to build NuttX for your board, you will have to obtain a cross-
|
|
|
|
compiler to generate code for your target CPU. For each board,
|
|
|
|
configuration, there is a README.txt file (at configs/<board-name>/README.txt).
|
|
|
|
That README file contains suggestions and information about appropriate
|
|
|
|
tools and development environments for use with your board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In any case, the script, setenv.sh that was deposited in the top-
|
|
|
|
level directory when NuttX was configured should be edited to set
|
|
|
|
the path to where you installed the toolchain. The use of setenv.sh
|
|
|
|
is optional but can save a lot of confusion in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NuttX Buildroot Toolchain
|
2012-04-07 16:38:13 -03:00
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For many configurations, a DIY set of tools is available for NuttX. These
|
|
|
|
tools can be downloaded from the NuttX SourceForge file repository. After
|
|
|
|
unpacking the buildroot tarball, you can find instructions for building
|
|
|
|
the tools in the buildroot/configs/README.txt file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check the README.txt file in the configuration director for your board
|
|
|
|
to see if you can use the buildroot toolchain with your board (this
|
|
|
|
README.txt file is located in configs/<board-name>/README.txt).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This toolchain is available for both the Linux and Cygwin development
|
|
|
|
environments.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-07 16:38:13 -03:00
|
|
|
Advantages: (1) NuttX header files are built into the tool chain,
|
|
|
|
and (2) related support tools like NXFLAT tools and the ROMFS
|
|
|
|
genromfs tools can be built into your toolchain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Disadvantages: This tool chain is not was well supported as some other
|
|
|
|
toolchains. GNU tools are not my priority and so the buildroot tools
|
|
|
|
often get behind. For example, the is still no EABI support in the
|
|
|
|
NuttX buildroot toolchain for ARM.

SHELLS
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The NuttX build relies on some shell scripts. Some are inline in the
|
|
|
|
Makefiles and many are exectuble scripts in the tools/. directory. The
|
|
|
|
scripts were all developed using bash and many contain bash shell
|
|
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the scripts begin with #!/bin/bash to specifically select the
|
|
|
|
bash shell. Some still have #!/bin/sh but I haven't heard any complaints
|
|
|
|
so these must not have bash dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two shell issues that I have heard of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Linux where /bin/sh refers to an incompatible shell (like ksh or csh).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, bash is probably avaiable and the #!/bin/bash at the
|
|
|
|
beginning of the file should do the job. If any scripts with #!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
fail, try changing that ti #!/bin/bash and let me know about the change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. FreeBSD with the Bourne Shell and no bash shell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The other, reverse case has also been reported on FreeBSD setups that
|
|
|
|
have the Bourne shell, but not bash. In this base, #!/bin/bash fails
|
|
|
|
but #!/bin/sh works okay. My recommendation in this case is to create
|
|
|
|
a symbolic link at /bin/bash that refers to the Bourne shell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There may still be issues, however, with certain the bash-centric scripts
|
|
|
|
that will require modifications.

NuttX builds in-place in the source tree. You do not need to create
|
|
|
|
any special build directories. Assuming that your Make.defs is setup
|
|
|
|
properly for your tool chain and that setenv.sh contains the path to where
|
|
|
|
your cross-development tools are installed, the following steps are all that
|
|
|
|
are required to build NuttX:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd ${TOPDIR}
|
|
|
|
. ./setenv.sh
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At least one configuration (eagle100) requires additional command line
|
|
|
|
arguments on the make command. Read ${TOPDIR}/configs/<board-name>/README.txt
|
|
|
|
to see if that applies to your target.

Re-building

-----------
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Re-building is normally simple -- just type make again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But there are some things that can "get you" when you use the Cygwin
|
|
|
|
development environment with Windows native tools. The native Windows
|
|
|
|
tools do not understand Cygwin's symbolic links, so the NuttX make system
|
|
|
|
does something weird: It copies the configuration directories instead of
|
|
|
|
linking to them (it could, perhaps, use the NTFS 'mklink' command, but it
|
|
|
|
doesn't).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A consequence of this is that you can easily get confused when you edit
|
|
|
|
a file in one of the linked (i.e., copied) directories, re-build NuttX,
|
|
|
|
and then not see your changes when you run the program. That is because
|
|
|
|
build is still using the version of the file in the copied directory, not
|
|
|
|
your modified file! To work around this annoying behavior, do the
|
|
|
|
following when you re-build:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make clean_context all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This 'make' command will remove of the copied directories, re-copy them,
|
|
|
|
then make NuttX.

Build Targets
|
2012-04-07 16:38:13 -03:00
|
|
|
-------------
|
2011-12-31 12:53:05 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Below is a summary of the build targets available in the top-level
|
|
|
|
NuttX Makefile:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default target builds the NuttX executable in the selected output
|
|
|
|
formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
clean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Removes derived object files, archives, executables, and temporary
|
|
|
|
files, but retains the configuration and context files and directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distclean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Does 'clean' then also removes all configuration and context files.
|
|
|
|
This essentially restores the directory structure to its original,
|
|
|
|
unconfigured stated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Application housekeeping targets. The APPDIR variable refers to the user
|
|
|
|
application directory. A sample apps/ directory is included with NuttX,
|
|
|
|
however, this is not treated as part of NuttX and may be replaced with a
|
|
|
|
different application directory. For the most part, the application
|
|
|
|
directory is treated like any other build directory in the Makefile script.
|
|
|
|
However, as a convenience, the following targets are included to support
|
|
|
|
housekeeping functions in the user application directory from the NuttX
|
|
|
|
build directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
apps_clean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perform the clean operation only in the user application directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
apps_distclean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perform the distclean operation only in the user application directory.
|
|
|
|
The apps/.config file is preserved so that this is not a "full" distclean
|
|
|
|
but more of a configuration "reset."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
export
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The export target will package the NuttX libraries and header files into
|
|
|
|
an exportable package. Caveats: (1) These needs some extension for the KERNEL
|
|
|
|
build. (2) The logic in tools/mkexport.sh only supports GCC and, for example,
|
|
|
|
explicitly assumes that the archiver is 'ar'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
download
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a helper target that will rebuild NuttX and download it to the target
|
|
|
|
system in one step. The operation of this target depends completely upon
|
|
|
|
implementation of the DOWNLOAD command in the user Make.defs file. It will
|
|
|
|
generate an error an error if the DOWNLOAD command is not defined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following targets are used internally by the make logic but can be invoked
|
|
|
|
from the command under certain conditions if necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
depend
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create build dependencies. (NOTE: There is currently no support for build
|
|
|
|
dependencies under Cygwin using Windows-native toolchains.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
context
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The context target is invoked on each target build to assure that NuttX is
|
|
|
|
properly configured. The basic configuration steps include creation of the
|
|
|
|
the config.h and version.h header files in the include/nuttx directory and
|
|
|
|
the establishment of symbolic links to configured directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
clean_context
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is part of the distclean target. It removes all of the header files
|
|
|
|
and symbolic links created by the context target.

CYGWIN BUILD PROBLEMS

Strange Path Problems
|
2012-04-07 16:38:13 -03:00
|
|
|
---------------------
|
2011-12-31 12:53:05 -04:00
|
|
|
|
2011-12-19 15:24:09 -04:00
|
|
|
If you see strange behavior when building under Cygwin then you may have
|
|
|
|
a problem with your PATH variable. For example, if you see failures to
|
|
|
|
locate files that are clearly present, that may mean that you are using
|
|
|
|
the wrong version of a tool. For example, you may not be using Cygwin's
|
|
|
|
'make' program at /usr/bin/make. Try:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ which make
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you install some toolchains (such as Yargarto or CodeSourcery tools),
|
|
|
|
they may modify your PATH variable to include a path to their binaries.
|
|
|
|
At that location, they make have GNUWin32 versions of the tools. So you
|
|
|
|
might actually be using a version of make that does not understand Cygwin
|
|
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The solution is either:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Edit your PATH to remove the path to the GNUWin32 tools, or
|
|
|
|
2. Put /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, and /bin at the front of your path:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH

Window Native Toolchain Issues
|
2012-04-07 16:38:13 -03:00
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
2011-12-31 12:53:05 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are many popular Windows native toolchains that may be used with NuttX.
|
|
|
|
Examples include CodeSourcery (for Windows), devkitARM, and several vendor-
|
|
|
|
provied toolchains. There are several limitations with using a and Windows
|
|
|
|
based toolchain in a Cygwin environment. The three biggest are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The Windows toolchain cannot follow Cygwin paths. Path conversions are
|
|
|
|
performed automatically in the Cygwin makefiles using the 'cygpath' utility
|
|
|
|
but you might easily find some new path problems. If so, check out 'cygpath -w'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Windows toolchains cannot follow Cygwin symbolic links. Many symbolic links
|
|
|
|
are used in Nuttx (e.g., include/arch). The make system works around these
|
|
|
|
problems for the Windows tools by copying directories instead of linking them.
|
|
|
|
But this can also cause some confusion for you: For example, you may edit
|
|
|
|
a file in a "linked" directory and find that your changes had no effect.
|
|
|
|
That is because you are building the copy of the file in the "fake" symbolic
|
|
|
|
directory. If you use a Windows toolchain, you should get in the habit of
|
|
|
|
making like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make clean_context all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An alias in your .bashrc file might make that less painful. The rebuild
|
|
|
|
is not a long as you might think because there is no dependency checking
|
|
|
|
if you are using a native Windows toolchain. That bring us to #3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Dependencies are not made when using Windows versions of the GCC. This is
|
|
|
|
because the dependencies are generated using Windows pathes which do not
|
|
|
|
work with the Cygwin make.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support has been added for making dependencies with the windows-native toolchains.
|
|
|
|
That support can be enabled by modifying your Make.defs file as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mknulldeps.sh
|
|
|
|
+ MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mkdeps.sh --winpaths "$(TOPDIR)"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have problems with the dependency build (for example, if you are not
|
|
|
|
building on C:), then you may need to modify tools/mkdeps.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
General Pre-built Toolchain Issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To continue with the list of "Window Native Toolchain Issues" we can add
|
|
|
|
the following. These, however, are really just issues that you will have
|
|
|
|
if you use any pre-built toolchain (vs. building the NuttX toolchain from
|
|
|
|
the NuttX buildroot package):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There may be incompatibilities with header files, libraries, and compiler
|
|
|
|
built-in functions at detailed below. For the most part, these issues
|
|
|
|
are handled in the existing make logic. But if you are breaking new ground,
|
|
|
|
then you may incounter these:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Header Files. Most pre-built toolchains will build with a foreign C
|
|
|
|
library (usually newlib, but maybe uClibc or glibc if you are using a
|
|
|
|
Linux toolchain). This means that the header files from the foreign
|
|
|
|
C library will be built into the toolchain. So if you "include <stdio.h>",
|
|
|
|
you will get the stdio.h from the incompatible, foreign C library and
|
|
|
|
not the nuttx stdio.h (at nuttx/include/stdio.h) that you wanted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can cause really confusion in the buildds and you must always be
|
|
|
|
sure the -nostdinc is included in the CFLAGS. That will assure that
|
|
|
|
you take the include files only from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Libraries. What was said above header files applies to libraries.
|
|
|
|
You do not want to include code from the libraries of any foreign
|
|
|
|
C libraries built into your toolchain. If this happens you will get
|
|
|
|
perplexing errors about undefined sysmbols. To avoid these errors,
|
|
|
|
you will need to add -nostdlib to your CFLAGS flags to assure that
|
|
|
|
you only take code from the NuttX libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This, however, may causes other issues for libraries in the toolchain
|
|
|
|
that you do want (like libgcc.a or libm.a). These are special-cased
|
|
|
|
in most Makefiles, but you could still run into issues of missing
|
|
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Built-Ins. Some compilers target a particular operating system.
|
|
|
|
Many people would, for example, like to use the same toolchain to
|
|
|
|
develop Linux and NuttX software. Compilers built for other
|
|
|
|
operating systems may generate incompatible built-in logic and,
|
|
|
|
for this reason, -fno-builtin should also be included in your
|
|
|
|
C flags
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And finally you may not be able to use NXFLAT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. NXFLAT. If you use a pre-built toolchain, you will lose all support
|
|
|
|
for NXFLAT. NXFLAT is a binary format described in
|
|
|
|
Documentation/NuttXNxFlat.html. It may be possible to build
|
|
|
|
standalone versions of the NXFLAT tools; there are a few examples
|
|
|
|
of this in the misc/buildroot/configs directory. However, it
|
|
|
|
is possible that there could be interoperability issues with
|
|
|
|
your toolchain since they will be using different versions of
|
|
|
|
binutials and possibly different ABIs.
