Oh awesome, I am sooo grateful.

Hello,

building on Windows is at least difficult and it takes ages (about 10 hours for a build on msys2 even if I provided a lot of cores to the VM). It seems that you were right to suspect that the change might make trouble (at least in one of the four cases that I tested). I don't post a patch for the manual at the moment because I didn't manage to build a complete toolchain yet.

I'll continue to investigate the problems but it will take a bit longer because every test needs horrible long. An intermediate report:

All tests have been done with rtems-source-builder 5 branch with my additional patch.


== Results on cygwin

Packets mentioned in the manual:

- gcc4-core Does not exist.
  Installed gcc-core instead

- gcc4-g++: Does not exist.
  Installed gcc-g++ instead

- mingw64-x86_64-g++ does not exist.
  Installed mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++ instead

- mingw-zlib-devel: Does not exist.
  No replacement found.

- zlib-devel is now at "Libs"

- I had to install libreadline-devel and libreadline7 in the testing version 8.1-1. Otherwise the build stopped with the information that system readline isn't recent enough.

- The packet "python" doesn't exist. It's now either python2 or python3. I tried both:

For python2 I installed python2 and python2-devel.

For python3 I removed python2* and installed python3 and python3-devel.

In both cases, the build system detected the correct python. But I received errors like the following in the log:

`````````````````

Build Set: Time 0:15:27.798085
`````````````````

I suspect that I would need a mingw64-x86_64-python2/3. But that packet does not exist.

Any hints what I could try?


== Result on mingw

Beneath the packets in the manual, I had to install flex.

First test was with python2. That is where my patch made problems: If I installed "python" (which is python3) like said in the manual, gdb detected python3 and wanted to use that (due to my patch). I only install mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-python2 like said in the manual so that didn't work. If I removed "python" again, I had to use a workarround for RSB to work (PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --prefix=/opt/rtems/5 5/rtems-sparc) and then the first 10 hours build fine (gdb, gcc, ...) but the build stopped when building rtems-tools with the following error in the log file:

`````````````````
++ pwd
+ build_top=/c/msys64/home/User/rtems-source-builder/rtems/build/rt01
+ test x86_64-w64-mingw32 '!=' x86_64-w64-mingw32
+ RT_HOST=
+ cd rtems-tools-0a5d2057749066e7d184836e92c7ce5334fccc90
+ ./waf distclean configure --prefix=/c/msys64/home/User/rtems-python2/5

shell cmd failed: sh -ex /c/msys64/home/User/rtems-source-builder/rtems/build/rt01/do-build
error: building rt01
Build Set: Time 21:29:33.633738
`````````````````

Which somehow makes sense because I removed the "python" packet.


If I tried with python3 instead (removed "mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-python2" and added "mingw-w64-x86_64-python" and "python") I didn't need the workarround with the PYTHONIOENCODING. But the build stopped a lot earlier with the following message in the log:

`````````````````

Seems that somewhere a opening quotation mark is added where it shouldn't be.

Best regards
