genromfs-0.5.2.tar.gz
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a snapshot of the genromfs tarball taken from
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/romfs/. This snapshot is provided to
|
|
assure that a working version of genromfs is always available for NuttX.
|
|
|
|
This tool is also include in the buildroot and can be built automatically
|
|
from the buildroot.

kconfig-frontends
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
This is a snapshot of the kconfig-frontends version 3.6.0 tarball taken
|
|
from http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/kconfig-frontends.
|
|
|
|
General build instructions:
|
|
|
|
cd kconfig-frontends
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
To suppress the graphical interfaces:
|
|
|
|
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-qconf
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
kconfig-frontends-3.3.0-1-libintl.patch
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The above build instructions did not work for me under my Cygwin
|
|
installation with kconfig-frontends-3.3.0. This patch is a awful hack
|
|
but will successfully build 'mconf' under Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
cat kconfig-frontends-3.3.0-1-libintl.patch | patch -p0
|
|
cd kconfig-frontends-3.3.0-1
|
|
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-qconf
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
See: http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/hg/kconfig-frontends/file/tip/docs/known-issues.txt
|
|
|
|
Update: According to the release notes, version 3.6.0 (and above)
|
|
will build on Cygwin with no patches:

|
kconfig-macos.patch
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a patch to make the kconfig-frontends-3.3.0 build on Mac OS X.
|
|
|
|
To build the conf and mconf frontends, use the following commands:
|
|
|
|
./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-gconf --disable-qconf --disable-nconf --disable-utils
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|

=============================

From http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nuttx/message/2900:
|
|
|
|
"The build was quite simple:
|
|
|
|
I used mingw installer and I had to install two packages that the
|
|
automated mingw setup does not bring by default:
|
|
|
|
* mingw-get update
|
|
* mingw-get install mingw32-pdcurses mingw32-libpdcurses
|
|
* mingw-get install msys-regex msys-libregex
|
|
|
|
(grep the output of mingw-get list if I got the names wrong)
|
|
|
|
Then I had to change some things in mconf code, it was quite simple to
|
|
understand the make errors.
|
|
|
|
* The first of them is to disable any use of uname() in symbol.c and
|
|
replace the uname output by a constant string value (I used MINGW32-MSYS),
|
|
|
|
* The second one is related to the second parameter to mkdir() that has
|
|
to disappear for windows (we don't care about folder rights) in confdata.c;
|
|
|
|
* And the last one of them involves #undef bool in dialog.h before including
|
|
curses.h (CURSES_LOC), around line 30.
|
|
|
|
I wrapped all of my changes in #if(n)def __MINGW32__, but that is not
|
|
sufficient to make that work everywhere, I think.
|
|
|
|
So mconf itself has some portability issues that shall be managed in a
|
|
cleaner way, what I did was just hacks, I don't think they are
|
|
acceptable by mconf upstream maintainers.
|
|
|
|
Here is the magic incantation to get the whole thing working. It seems
|
|
that the configure script is not so good and does not bring the required
|
|
bits to link libregex.
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS="-I/mingw/include -I/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-Bstatic -L/mingw/lib
|
|
-L/usr/lib -lregex" ./configure --enable-frontends=mconf --enable-static
|
|
--disable-shared
|
|
|
|
So the message I want to pass is that native "make menuconfig" in
|
|
windows IS POSSIBLE, I have done it in a few minutes."

"Oops, forgot something, I had to bring a gperf binary from the gnuwin32 project."
