I would like to announce the availability of the 'waf' branch for RTEMS for testing and review.
This represents a complete, ground-up rewrite of the RTEMS build system that has taken me roughly 3 years to complete off/on in my spare time / self-funded. The new build system from a clean checkout will build a single RTEMS BSP with all tests (2,200 targets/tasks) within 30 seconds on a 2.8GHz i7-920. Without tests it takes roughly 20 seconds. The build system uses 'waf' https://code.google.com/p/waf/ which I have been using for several years. It is a framework which I have merged into RTEMS in order to meet its current and future needs. For those of you who do not know me I build and implement hardware/software testing systems for any application. waf is the fastest, most robust build system I have ever seen -- and I have used them all across dozens of platforms. This will be a series of emails with the first block containing 6. My hope is splitting it up will ease in discussion and answering questions. More emails to follow (2/6) Amar. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
