This email covers a brief overview of how to build the branch and some details. It handy for 'trying it out' without getting too far into the details.
Here is the timing for the build at the moment: verm@peach# waf config --bsp sparc/sis --prefix /mnt/devel/rtems/prefix/rtems --path-tools /mnt/devel/rtems/tools/bin/ 'config' finished successfully (0.026s) verm@peach# waf configure 'configure' finished successfully (4.034s) verm@peach# waf -j 14 'build' finished successfully (16.204s) note: the above is 1,337 objects. verm@peach# waf -j 14 --enable-tests 'build' finished successfully (13.414s) note: the above is 881 targets. >From a clone we have: 0.026 + 4.034 + 16.204 + 13.414 = 33.678s. That is 2,218 targets including all test binaries. There is a simple sanity check I hacked in if you want to try it: verm@peach# waf hello BUILDING: sparc/sis /mnt/devel/rtems/tools/bin/sparc-rtems4.11-gcc -I/mnt/devel/rtems/commit/include -I/mnt/devel/rtems/commit/build/sparc/sis/include -I/mnt/devel/rtems/commit/build/sparc/sis/include/rtems -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D__rtems_sparc_sis__ -mcpu=cypress -o /tmp/hello testsuites/samples/hello/init.c -specs /mnt/devel/rtems/commit/build/sparc/sis/gcc_spec -L/mnt/devel/rtems/commit/build/sparc/sis/cpukit/ -L/mnt/devel/rtems/commit/build/sparc/sis/c/ -Wl,-start-group -lrtemscpu -lrtemsbsp -lc -lgcc -Wl,-end-group 'hello' finished successfully (0.183s) This actually uses another tool called rtems-config which I will get into below. There are three branches on the repository: waf - main waf branch (use this!) fix - fixes to source code. include - the mega include change. You can get the source via: git clone git://git.rtems.org/amar/waf.git The tools used are the standard ones built using the RSB. This means you can test the waf branch without needing to rebuild your tools. This will only get better with your help and feedback. This is a big change to how we will all develop and use RTEMS. We have outgrown the current build system, there is a huge amount for the community to digest with this and other changes coming down the line. I hope you are all willing to work with me to make this a reality for RTEMS. Further emails follow.
