Re: [microblaze-uclinux] EDK 7.1 under cygwin
Hi Antti,
Thanks for the links. I notice you refer to EDK 8.1 on the compiler.
Is there any reason for this ? Will it work with EDK 7.1 as well ?
I had a few problems with symbolic links on my installation of cygwin.
I'm not sure they are being handled correctly. I was trying to do a make
on gcc for the 6809 so I could use it with my VHDL core, but it kept
failing.
I also tried compiling MESS and MAME under cygwin and that failed too.
It was painfully slow to compile and I gave up in the end.
I am using XP Pro on a fairly old 800MHz Duron running Webpack 8.1
I have another 2.2GHz Athlon with XP Home on it that I have installed
EDK 7.1 and ISE 7.1 on. Both machines have Cygwin on them.
Most of my development has been under Webpack ISE 8.1, although
I have been given a copy of ISE Foundation 8.1. I'm not sure if EDK 7.1
will work with ISE Foundation 8.1, so have not installed it.
My initial version of cygwin on the Duron is a number of years old.
I updated it from the aarnet mirror recently but I think it might have
broken a few things.
Cygwin on the Athlon is a little more recent, but still seems to have
problems
with symbolic links.
Other than build issues, my concern with booting the linux core under
cygwin was
whether you could run an ftp server in background. I must confess to
being a little
concerned about having open ftp ports on my computer. I only hope my
firewall
router box is set up correctly.
VMWare may be the way to go, although I might be up for a larger hard disk.
I have Fedora Core 4 on another old machine. I'm not sure how dependent
EDK 7.1 is on RHEL 3.0 or if it will work with Fedora. I guess I should
try to install it and see how I go.
John.

Hi
you can download MB and GCC toolchains compiled for cygwin from
http://xilant.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,53/func,select/id,9/
the mb-gcc from above has been used to succesfully compile uclinux
kernel and filesystem
but there are some issues still with it. so I would still suggest
using VMWare to install linux
on windows and then install the mb linux gcc toolchain in the VMWare
linux box.
That works like magic on WinXP :)
however if you are looking for MB c compiler only (and not recompiling
the kernel)
then the cygwin mb-gcc sure can be used also without problems. You can
also
use kernel compiled with linux mb-gcc then pullout the tree and setup
the cygwin gcc
todo OOT compile of uclinux applications. That works fairly well.
