Hi, That colon threw me off. That's a very good article on the cygnus tree. I had only previously found descriptions of the tree buried away in subdirectories of the source. A decription of the steps that the cygnus configure script and build process goes thru would be very useful, but would be difficult to do by someone that didn't originally design the process. I used a bash debugger to step thru all the configure lines, but its still complicated to follow. It would be useful to have a site where stable releases of various configurations (more common host-target combos) of gcc and binutils are kept for downloading by users. This way, some stability can be had instead of everyone building their own versions from source and wondering if problems are in the source, or the way they built it. Having to apply patches to your build also adds more variables. A central site for useful patches would be useful. For the space needed to store the tools, some compensation could be got by selling CDs instead of one-week downloads etc. Michael Sokolov wrote: > > "Russ.Shaw" <russell@webaxs.net> wrote: > > > Is this a url address? > > > > ivan.Harhan.ORG:/pub/embedded/cygnus-tree-intro > > > > Pointing my browser there doesn't work. > > No, this is a real network pathname from the golden days when people were > clueful and there were no URLs or browsers.
