Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Fwd: Troubleshooting installation of ICAP drivers

["David Montminy" <dpmontminy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know if there are tar or zip archives available for
uClinux?  I know that others have asked if there is CVS mirror (and
the response was no).  It look 14 hours for me to get uClinux-dist
from CVS yesterday only to end with multiple errors.  My attempt to
get uClinux-2.4.x errored much sooner.  It did however get to the
drivers/misc folder, but there still appears to be no HWICAP drivers
in it.  I'm not sure if there is some setting in the XAPP730
distribution that prevents all of the files from being downloaded.
There is no .cvsrc in my home directory.

My next step to is to abandom the CentOS VMware and start from scratch.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

David
