that is a somewhat experimental, multilib-related patch:
Changes:
* Use RTEMS_ENV_RTEMSCPU instead of RTEMS_ENV_RTEMSBSP in
configure.ins below exec/.
At the moment, RTEMS_ENV_RTEMSCPU is more or less an optical change
to emphasize that these subdirectories shall not depend on RTEMS_BSP
than a real behavioral change.
* Add AC_DEFINE_* to several aclocal/*.m4 macros to prepare
autoheader/autoconf generated targopts.h and similiar configuration
headers.
* c/src/configure.in: remove exec from cfg_subdirs if multilibs are
enabled (c/src is build per bsp, exec shall be build per cpu in c/
or from the toplevel in future, when multilibs are enabled.)
Notes:
* This patch should not have any impact on the current building scheme.
* --enable-multilib still does not work.
* running bootstrap from the toplevel directory is required.

Comments follow:
Building linux/posix fails due to including lib/include/sys/cdefs.h
instead of linux's sys/cdefs.h.
AFAIS, this sys/cdefs.h is specific to newlib and should probably
not be used on any unix host.
Therefore, I changed the relevant Makefile.am/configure.in to
condionally install sys/cdefs.h only if newlib is present.
This triggered another bug inside of the newlib-check for one of
RTEMS target's (Unfortunately I can't remember which - mips/i960 ?
... one of the more exotic ...), for which int func() isn't
identical to void func().
Note: This patch needs to be tested under Cygwin and Solaris. I am
particularily unsure about Cygwin/posix, as it applies a different
version newlib which must not trigger RTEMS newlib check (it is
supposed to fail) and if it may need RTEMS's sys/cdefs.h.

that is part of the multilib/gnu-canonicalization movement:
Changes:
* New m4-macro: aclocal/multilib.am
* Suppress multiprocessing if --enable-multilib is given to
configure
Notes:
For now this patch only suppresses multiprocessing if
--enable-multilib is given to configure and should not have any
other side-effects, ie. it works around a minor issue which prevents
introduction of multilibs in general.
The RTEMS_ENABLE_MULTILIB_MASTER macro is the core part to build
real multilibs, but can not be applied before other multilib related
issues with RTEMS have been solved. (e.g. sptables.h, bsp_specs,
Cygnus/Gnu canonicalization, _RTEMS_version, targopts.h, changing
the installation point/tooldir support, etc.).

<charles.gauthier@iit.nrc.ca>, and Darlene A. Stewart
<Darlene.Stewart@nrc.ca> to add support for a number of very
significant things:
+ BSPs for many variations on the Motorola MBX8xx board series
+ Cache Manager including initial support for m68040
and PowerPC
+ Rework of mpc8xx libcpu code so all mpc8xx CPUs now use
same code base.
+ Rework of eth_comm BSP to utiltize above.
John reports this works on the 821 and 860

that contains:
* Removes remaining (now illegal) references to $(SRC) from a couple of
Makefile.ams
* Removes duplicate AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS macro from c/configure.in
* Moves ENABLE_LIBCDIR into RTEMS_PROG_C[C|XX]_FOR_TARGET (hides LIBCDIR
from most configure scripts, i.e. LIBCDIR becomes less visible)
* Adds RTEMS_PROG_C[C|XX]_FOR_TARGET and RTEMS_CANONICALIZE_TOOLS to
libbsp/*/configure.ins (A minor bug in previous implementations, which
only has an impact when switching to GNU/Cygnus canonicalization)
* Cleans up several bogus comments.
* Removes MKLIB
* Switches the version number to 4.5.0 (for testing version number
handling)

which is described below:
This one is a (minor) patch in preparation of the upcoming patches. It
actually is an excerpt of the upcoming patches and therefore is
completely untested in this standalone form, but I don't expect it to
break something.
The essential changes in this patch are:
* An update to rtems-polish.sh (Now can also be run in subdirectories)
* A bug-fix for the libcpu/powerpc (A directory was missing from
SUBDIRS in a Makefile.am)
* An update to gensh2.cfg.
* Cleanups/Enhancements to configuration files
To apply:
cd <srcdir>
patch -p0 < rtems-rc-20000104-0.diff

<corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>:
The patch below provides
* automake support for score/cpu/powerpc
* The hack to propagate values from *.cfg to automake configuration
* A fix for librdbg/powerpc/mcp750/Makefile.am (Was completely corrupted
before)
* Fixes some files which apparently where missing in
rtems-rc-19991123-rc-2.diff
* some minor configuration related patches
To apply:
rm -rf ./c/src/exec/score/cpu/powerpc/wrap
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19991123-rc-3.diff
Attention:
c/src/exec/score/cpu/[configure.in|aclocal.m4|configure] should be
removed after applying the patch.
Modifications had been made to the score/cpu/powerpc directory after
the snapshot this was based on. In particular, the mpc750 and
other_cpu directories had been renamed to new_exception_processing
and old_exception_processing. After this patch was applied, modifications
were made to account for this.

which (among other things) converted the mptests to automake.
SUB_DIRS was used instead of SUBDIRS in some Makefile.ins
(apparently a leftover from moving the start* directories)
Addtional major bugs:
* psxtests/include was empty (incomplete psxtests changes).
* bogus handling of *.scn in itrontests (screens/sptests vs.
screens/itrontests installation dirs)
In addition I have added a few more changes (I couldn't resist)
* automake support for itrontests
* OPERATION_COUNT support in tmitrontests/
* automake support for tmitrontests
* automake suppport for mptests
* Some (minor) corrections to several configure.in/Makefile.ams
=> c/src/tests/ is completly under automake control, now.
=> we could start to sort out the structural issues with c/src/tests
(tests/support, stubdr, tools, get "make dist" working)

.. a major configuration cleanup
... major enhancement of automake support.
... and it contains a *major* breakthough:
Automake support for libchip and libmisc *LEAF* directories.
To implement this I have used several nasty tricks
* The basical trick is to wrap an old Makefile.in's contents into a
Makefile.am and still continue to use (i.e include) the old
*.cfg files.
* Replaced each INSTALL_IF_CHANGE and INSTALL_VARIANT with make
dependencies
* Add a gnu-make ifdef AUTOMAKE to main.cfg to avoid conflicts between
automake and RTEMS make rules
* Replaced each install:: and preinstall:: rule with make dependencies
* Replaced SUB_DIRS with SUBDIRS in all Makefile.ins (Automake
convention)
* Removed each manually added autoconf substitution which automake
performs automatically.
This is not yet full automake support, because using the temporary
installation directory, preinstallation in general and building variants
are in contradiction to automake's basic working principles ...
... the new Makefile.ams work still somewhat clumsy
... nevertheless they work (quite well).
WARNING:
At first glance this patch is small, but
* it affects the whole configuration system.
* it opens the road to introducing automake to all Makefile.ins
currently not being under automake control.
JOEL> Does this remove or add any files?
Both, all Makefile.ins below libchip and libmisc get replaced with
Makefile.ams.

The patch below actuallly consists of two patches:
1) moving librpc to c/src/librpc similar to what has been done to librtems++
2) reworked configure scripts, many safety and dependency checks added to
aclocal/*.m4 macros + configuration fixes.
To apply:
mkdir c/src/librpc
mkdir c/src/librpc/src
cp c/src/lib/librpc/*.c c/src/librpc/src
cp c/src/lib/librpc/Makefile.in c/src/librpc/src
mkdir c/src/librpc/include
mkdir c/src/librpc/include/rpc
cp c/src/lib/include/rpc/* c/src/librpc/include/rpc
patch -p1 < ../rtems-rc-19990820-7.diff
rm -rf c/src/lib/librpc
rm -rf c/src/lib/include/rpc
./autogen
The additional checks in aclocal/*m4 macros add rather restrictive, sometimes
unnecessarily restrictive constraints on the sequence of how macros can be
used in a configure.in script. Adding them has let my problems with some more
complicated configuration options vanish. Apparently some macros had not been
in the required order .

Here is another fix, which addresses a few more or less severe bugs in
configuration and unix/posix:
* Configuration fix: c/src/lib/configure.in didn't handle RDBG correctly
* Configuration fix: make depend was non-functional in
c/src/lib/libc/Makefile.in
* Configuration fix: stray comment removed from aclocal/target.m4
* RTEMS fix: termios support for unix/posix now uses the host's headers
only (was completely broken).
- Don't install RTEMS's newlib sys/termios.h for unix (sys/termios.h
apparently is a newlib specific header)
- To be able to compile RTEMS's termios.c with glibc2.1, glibc-2.1
needs __USE_MISC, which is a private define from gcc's features.h, being
defined only when _BSD_SOURCE of _SVID_SOURCE is defined. RTEMS's
termios apparently implements BSD, thus -D_BSD_SOURCE was added to
Linux-posix.cfg.
- Conflicting definitions for __USE_MISC and _BSD_SOURCE inside of
RTEMS codes removed due to definition of _BSD_SOURCE on the toplevel.
This fix has been tested with linux/posix (primary glibc2.1 native),
linux/posix (secondary libc5 native), sh/gensh1, i386/pc386 and a couple
of other bsp's/CPU.
To apply:
cd <srcdir>
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19990709-9.diff
and
aclocal -I aclocal && automake && autoconf
cd c/src/lib; autoconf
or

After upgrading my linux box to the brand new SuSE 6.2 release, which is
glibc-2.1 based, I came across a bug in RTEMS - IIRC, I even warned you
about it about 1/2 a year ago, but nothing has been done since then :-.
The *.m4 macros to check for SYSV/IPC are broken for linux/glibc2.1,
because they assume that linux always defines union semun, which isn't
true anymore for glibc2.1 (the manpage for semctl states _X_OPEN
specifies it this way). Therefore I have tried to implement a more
general approach for handling SYSV for unix/posix which checks for
presence of struct semun, instead of trying to evaluate OS specific
preprocessor symbols.
This approach is a bit adventureous, because I only tested it with
linux/glibc2.1 and linux/libc5, but not under other Unix variants RTEMS
supports. I am quite confident it will work on other hosts, too, but who
knows :-.
[FYI: I think this might also is the cause of some problems with RedHat
6.X / Mandrake linux recently reported on the rtems list -- rtems-4.0.0
can not be build for posix on any glibc2.1 based host]
Furthermore the patch below contains a couple of minor fixes and
configuration cleanups, which IMO should be applied before releasing a
new snapshot.
To apply this patch:

The main topic is replacing the hard-coded values for HAS_MP and
HAS_RDBG in custom/*.cfg with per-bsp configuration-time autoconf checks
(This is the patch I had mentioned before earlier this week).
CHANGES
* HAS_MP removed from custom/*.cfg, replaced with configuration time
autoconf check
* HAS_RDBG removed from custom/*.cfg, replaced with configuration-time
autoconf check
* NEW: c/src/make/bsp.cfg.in, takes configuration-time checked per-bsp
values (i.e. HAS_MP, HAS_RDBG), gets installed as
$(prefix)/<bsp>/make/bsp.cfg
* NEW: default.cfg includes bsp.cfg - this change is backward
compatible.
* IMPORT_SRC: apply VPATH instead for ts_386ex/i386ex subdirectory
Makefile.ins
* HACK: a bug in acpolish mis-handles addtions to makefile variables
which are enclosed in gmake conditionals:
c/src/lib/libbsp/m68k/ods68302/start302/Makefile.in
* Apply inline_dir, HAS_MP and HAS_RDBG for avoiding configuration of
unneeded subdirectories in various configure.in files.
* Several minor changes in Makefile.ins and configure.ins, wrt. to the
order of including *.cfg and defining Makefile variables

to move RTEMS more to automake/autoconf and GNU compliance.
Finally, here they are: the "big-patch" patches - merged into one big
patch (~1.5MB).
Sorry for the delay, but testing took much more time than I had expected
- esp. reworking the acpolish script triggered many more tiny issues
than I had expected (cf. below).
At least, now you've got something to spend your weekend with :-.
WARNINGS:
* I've gone a little (??) further than I had announced before.
* Several directories have been moved.
* Several files have been added and removed
* I have tested it with many BSPs/CPUs and a variety of permutiations of
configuration flags, but not with all.
* Most parts of the patch are automatically generated, however there are
many tiny manual modifications.
APPLYING THE PATCH:
./autogen -c
mkdir tools
mv c/src/exec/score/tools tools/cpu
mv c/build-tools tools/build
mv c/update-tools tools/update
patch -p1 -E < rtems-rc-19990709-0.diff
./autogen
If the patch doesn't apply to rtems-cvs, I would suggest that you should
try to apply it brute-force and then to run tools/update/rtems-polish.sh
-ac -am afterwards. A recursive diff between rtems-19990709 + patch and
rtems-cvs + patch then should report only a few dozen significant
changes to configuration files which need to be merged manually (IIRC, I
did not change any source files).
*** Attention: There are files to be removed, moved, copied and added
in/to CVS!
NEWS/CHANGES:
1. Configuration takes place in 3 stages: 1. per host (toplevel
configure script), 2. per target (c/configure), 3. per bsp
c/src/configure automatically triggered from ./configure and
c/Makefile.am.
2. Building of subdirectory c/ takes place in c/$(target_alias) for
cross-targets in c/ for native targets
3. Building of subdirectory c/src takes place in c/${target_alias}/<bsp>
for cross-targets, c/<bsp> for native targets
4. c/build-tools moved to tools/build
5. c/src/exec/score/cpu/tools moved to tools/cpu (=cpu-tools split out)
6. c/update-tools moved to tools/update
7. New subdirectory c/src/make, handles files from make/ on a per BSP
basis
8. Maintainer mode support: Ie. if configuring with
--enable-maintainer-mode disabled (the default), then tracking of many
dependencies will be disabled in Makefiles. Esp. many dependencies for
auto* generated files will be switched off in Makefiles. Ie. if not
using "--enable-maintainer-mode" many auto* generated files will not be
updated automatically, i.e. normal users should not be required to have
auto* tools anymore (untested).
9. Independent configuration scripts for / (toplevel), tools/build,
tools/cpu, tools/update, c/, c/src/, c/src/exec, c/src/lib, c/src/tests,
c/src/make
10. Automake support for all directories above and besides c/src
11. "preinstall" now is implemented as depth-first recursive make target
12. host compiled tools (exception bsp-tools) are accessed in location
in the build tree instead of inside the build-tree when building RTEMS.
13. RTEMS_ROOT and PROJECT_ROOT now point to directories inside the
build-tree - many tiny changes as consequence from this.
14. --with-cross-host support removed (offically announced obsolete by
cygnus)
15. Changing the order of building libraries below c/src/lib/
16. Former toplevel configure script broken into aclocal/*.m4 macros
17. Newlib now detected by configure macros, RTEMS_HAS_NEWLIB removed
from *cfg.
18. sptables.h now generated by autoconf
19. Rules for "mkinstalldirs temporary installation tree" moved from
c/Makefile to subdirectories.
20. Cpu-tools do not get installed.
21. FIX: Use ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS instead of ACLOCAL = -I ... in Makefile.ams
which are in directories with own configure scripts.
22. Hardcoding BSP names into libbsp/.../tools to avoid RTEMS_BSP get
overridden from the environment.
22. FIX: Handling of MP_PIECES in various Makefiles
23. FIX: Removing "::" rules from some Makefile.ins
24. FIX: File permission chaos: (-m 444 and -m 555 vs. -m 644 and -m
755) - Now all include files use -m 644.
25. Removed many gnumake-conditionals in Makefile.ins - Partially
replaced with automake-conditional, partially replaced with
conditionalized Makefile variables (... _yes_V)
26. Massively reworked acpolish: acpolish now parses Makefile.ins and
interprets parts of the Makefile.ins.
27. FIX: Some $(wildcard $(srcdir)/*.h) macros removed / replaced with
explicit lists of files in Makefile.ins.
28. FIX: Replacing MKLIB with RANLIB in Makefile.ins
29. HACK: Add preinstallation for pc386 specific
$(PROJECT_RELEASE)/BootImgs directory
... many more details, I can't recall
KNOWN BUGS:
1. make [debug|profile]_install do not do what they are promissing.
"make [debug|profile] install" does what "make [debug|profile]_install"
has been doing. Proposal: remove [debug|profile]_install
2. Dependencies between temporary installation tree and source tree are
not yet handled correctly.
3. Dependencies between temporary installation tree and source tree are
handled ineffencently (Using INSTALL_CHANGE instead of make
dependencies)
4. RTEMS_ROOT, PROJECT_ROOT, top_builddir, RTEMS_TOPdir now are
redundant.
5. The new configure scripts still are in their infancy. They contain
redundant checks and might still contain bugs, too.
6. RTEMS autoconf Makefile.ins use a mixture of configuration
information gathered in c/$(target_alias)/<bsp>/make and of information
collected from their configure scripts.
7. make dist is not fully functional
8. Subdirectory host-/build-/target- configure options (--target,
--host, --build) do not conform to Cygnus/GNU conventions.
9. Some RTEMS autoconf Makefile.in's makefile targets are not supported
in automake Makefile.ams/ins (e.g. get, clobber).
10. Some automake standard targets are not propagated from toplevel and
c/Makefile.am to autoconf subdirectories (eg. make dist).
11. rpcgen generated files are not part of the source-tree (Automake
conventions favor supplying generated files inside the source-tree,
however there is no support for rpcgen generated files in automake, cf.
yacc/lex support in automake).
12. RTEMS_HAS_RDBG handling is flaky. make/*.cfg use RTEMS_HAS_RDBG per
CPU, while librdb's sources can only be built per BSP. Raises the more
general question whether librdbg located correctly in the source-tree.
13. All make/*cfg files are configured per cpu, currently there is no
location to store per-bsp configuration information --> bsp.cfg, per
aconfig.h?
14. "make install" without having run "make all" beforehand does not
work.
15. handling of --enable-multiprocessing seems to be broken in
make/custom/*
16. Makefile.ins still exploit many gmake features.
17. File permisson chaos on libraries (no explict -m for
libraries/rels/etc).
18. mcp750 Makefiles are broken (Note: I *do* mean buggy - I am not
talking about "not-conforming to conventions", here :-).
19. Dependencies between configure scripts are not handled, eg. aborting
"make RTEMS_BSP=<bsp>" can leave the build-tree in an unusable state.
20. "make clean" does not delete <build-tree>/<bsp>. This is intentional
for now, because rerunning "make" after "make clean" requires an
explicit "make preinstall" afterwards now. This should be done
automatically, but doesn't work in this case for now. To work around
this problem <build-tree>/<bsp> is kept during "make clean" for now
(HACK).
TODO:
1. split out host-compiled bsp-tools
2. Use Cygnus/GNU standards for cross-compiling target-subdir
(CC=CC_FOR_TARGET .. configure --host=${target_alias}
--build=`config.guess'}), to be added to toplevel configure script after
splitting out bsp-tools.
3. Exploit per cpu support directory (c/src/<cpu>)- Splitting out
per-cpu libraries - Are there any?
4. Further automake support
5. Converting subdirectories into standalone / self-contained
subdirectories (Esp. moving their headers to the same common root as
their sources, eg. mv lib/include/rtems++
lib/librtems++/include/rtems++) - This is the main obstacle which
prevents moving further towards automake.
6. Propagating values from *.cfg into Makefiles instead of propagating
them at make time via Makefile-fragments (i.e. try to avoid using
*.cfg).
7. Testing on cygwin host (I *do* expect cygwin specific problems).
8. The ARCH in o-$(ARCH)-$(VARIANT) build-subdirectories is not needed
anymore.
GENERAL ISSUES:
1. Temporary installation tree -- Ian and I seem to disagree basically.
Though I think that I understand his argumentation, I do not share it.
IMO, his way of using the buildtree is mis-using the build-tree, relying
on an inofficial feature of RTEMS's current implementation, which
doesn't even work correctly in the current build-tree, though it
attempts hard to do so. From my very POV, it unnecessarily complicates
the structures of the source- and build-trees. It is not supported by
automake (No automatic generation for the necessary rules) and
complicates the transition to automake significantly (Generating the
rules with an enhanced version of acpolish could be possible).
As Ian correctly pointed out, here a management decision is needed -
though I don't see the need to draw this decision in short terms.
2. preinstallation generally is a sure means to spoil the structure of
the source tree, IMHO (No ranting intended, I am completly serious about
this one). eg. through tree dependencies. The worst problem related to
this I have found in the meantime is bsp_specs. bsp_specs is part of
libbsp, ie. there is *no* way to build *any* part of the source tree
*without* having a BSP *preinstalled*.
Note: This issue is related to issue 1., but is not identical - The
difference is the change of the order make rules have to be triggered.
While preinstallation triggers rules spread all over the source tree
before a "make all" can be run, a temporary installation tree could also
be installed by post "make all" hooks (all-local:, to be run after make
all in a directory is completed) if the directories' dependencies would
be a tree,
3. Stuctural dependencies between subdirectories.
4. Depth of the source tree (Prevents multilibbing and introduces many
unnecessary configure scripts).
5. per cpu vs. per bsp configuration (There are no real per-cpu parts
yets :-).
6. automake does not support $makefiles in AC_OUTPUT. Unlike before, we
now should try to avoid RTEMS_CHECK_MAKEFILE and to hard-code as much
paths to Makefiles as possible.
7. General redesign of the source tree
8. Main installation point - Changing it to ${prefix}/${target_alias}. ?
Besides item 8. (which is a must, IMHO), as far as I see most of them
can not be solved soon and will remain issues in the mid- to long-term
:-.
REMARKS:
* You (as the maintainer) should always use --enable-maintainer-mode
when building RTEMS to ensure that maintainer mode generated files (esp.
those in c/src/make) will be updated when make/* files have changed.
* Use @RTEMS_BSP@ in Makefile.ins and Makefile.ams below c/src/,
$(RTEMS_BSP) or ${RTEMS_BSP} will be overridden from environment
variables when using make RTEMS_BSP="....".
* c/src/make is a temporary cludge until configuration issues are
solved. At the moment it is configured per bsp, but contains
per-target/cpu info only. Its main purpose now is to circumvent
modifying make/*.cfg files, because I consider make/* to be frozen for
backward compatibilty.
* This patch should only affect configuration files. At least I do not
remember having touched any source files.
* To build the bare bsp you now need to mention it in --enable-rtemsbsp.
Example: building gensh1 and sh1/bare simultaneously:
../rtems-rc-19990709-1/configure --target=sh-rtems \
--enable-rtemsbsp="bare gensh1" \
--prefix=/tmp/rtems \
--enable-bare-cpu-cflags='-DMHZ=20 -m1
-DCPU_CONSOLE_DEVNAME=\"/dev/null\"' \
--enable-bare-cpu-model=sh7032 \
--enable-maintainer-mode \
--enable-cxx
make
make install
* The next steps in development would be to split out bsp-tools and then
to change to Cygnus/GNU canonicalization conventions for building the c/
subdirectory afterwards (i.e. many standard AC_*.m4 macros could be used
instead of customized versions)
FINAL REMARK:
The issues mentioned in the lists above sound much worser than the
situation actually is. Most of them are not specific to this patch, but
are also valid for the snapshot. I just wrote down what I came across
when working on the patch over the last few weeks.
I wouldn't be too surprised if you don't like the patch at the current
point in development. I am willing to discuss details and problems, I
also have no problem if you would post-pone applying this patch to times
after 4.1, but rejecting it as a whole for all times would be a false
management decision, IMHO.
Therefore I would suggest that you, if your time constaints allow it,
should at least play a little while with this patch to understand what
is going on and before drawing a decision on how to handle this
proposal. I know this patch is neither perfect nor complete, but I
consider it to be a major breakthrough. Don't be anxious because of the
size of the patch, the core of the patch is rather small, the size is
mainly the side effect of some systematic cleanups inside the Makefiles
(result of acpolish).
Feel free to ask if you encounter problems, if you don't understand
something or if you meet bugs - I am far from being perfect and am
prepared to answer them.

to move RTEMS more to automake/autoconf and GNU compliance.
Finally, here they are: the "big-patch" patches - merged into one big
patch (~1.5MB).
Sorry for the delay, but testing took much more time than I had expected
- esp. reworking the acpolish script triggered many more tiny issues
than I had expected (cf. below).
At least, now you've got something to spend your weekend with :-.
WARNINGS:
* I've gone a little ??) further than I had announced before.
* Several directories have been moved.
* Several files have been added and removed
* I have tested it with many BSPs/CPUs and a variety of permutiations of
configuration flags, but not with all.
* Most parts of the patch are automatically generated, however there are
many tiny manual modifications.
APPLYING THE PATCH:
./autogen -c
mkdir tools
mv c/src/exec/score/tools tools/cpu
mv c/build-tools tools/build
mv c/update-tools tools/update
patch -p1 -E < rtems-rc-19990709-0.diff
./autogen
If the patch doesn't apply to rtems-cvs, I would suggest that you should
try to apply it brute-force and then to run tools/update/rtems-polish.sh
-ac -am afterwards. A recursive diff between rtems-19990709 + patch and
rtems-cvs + patch then should report only a few dozen significant
changes to configuration files which need to be merged manually (IIRC, I
did not change any source files).
*** Attention: There are files to be removed, moved, copied and added
in/to CVS!
NEWS/CHANGES:
1. Configuration takes place in 3 stages: 1. per host (toplevel
configure script), 2. per target (c/configure), 3. per bsp
c/src/configure automatically triggered from ./configure and
c/Makefile.am.
2. Building of subdirectory c/ takes place in c/$(target_alias) for
cross-targets in c/ for native targets
3. Building of subdirectory c/src takes place in c/${target_alias}/<bsp>
for cross-targets, c/<bsp> for native targets
4. c/build-tools moved to tools/build
5. c/src/exec/score/cpu/tools moved to tools/cpu (=cpu-tools split out)
6. c/update-tools moved to tools/update
7. New subdirectory c/src/make, handles files from make/ on a per BSP
basis
8. Maintainer mode support: Ie. if configuring with
--enable-maintainer-mode disabled (the default), then tracking of many
dependencies will be disabled in Makefiles. Esp. many dependencies for
auto* generated files will be switched off in Makefiles. Ie. if not
using "--enable-maintainer-mode" many auto* generated files will not be
updated automatically, i.e. normal users should not be required to have
auto* tools anymore (untested).
9. Independent configuration scripts for / (toplevel), tools/build,
tools/cpu, tools/update, c/, c/src/, c/src/exec, c/src/lib, c/src/tests,
c/src/make
10. Automake support for all directories above and besides c/src
11. "preinstall" now is implemented as depth-first recursive make target
12. host compiled tools (exception bsp-tools) are accessed in location
in the build tree instead of inside the build-tree when building RTEMS.

to move RTEMS more to automake/autoconf and GNU compliance.
Finally, here they are: the "big-patch" patches - merged into one big
patch (~1.5MB).
Sorry for the delay, but testing took much more time than I had expected
- esp. reworking the acpolish script triggered many more tiny issues
than I had expected (cf. below).
At least, now you've got something to spend your weekend with :-.
WARNINGS:
* I've gone a little (??) further than I had announced before.
* Several directories have been moved.
* Several files have been added and removed
* I have tested it with many BSPs/CPUs and a variety of permutiations of
configuration flags, but not with all.
* Most parts of the patch are automatically generated, however there are
many tiny manual modifications.
APPLYING THE PATCH:
./autogen -c
mkdir tools
mv c/src/exec/score/tools tools/cpu
mv c/build-tools tools/build
mv c/update-tools tools/update
patch -p1 -E < rtems-rc-19990709-0.diff
./autogen
If the patch doesn't apply to rtems-cvs, I would suggest that you should
try to apply it brute-force and then to run tools/update/rtems-polish.sh
-ac -am afterwards. A recursive diff between rtems-19990709 + patch and
rtems-cvs + patch then should report only a few dozen significant
changes to configuration files which need to be merged manually (IIRC, I
did not change any source files).
*** Attention: There are files to be removed, moved, copied and added
in/to CVS!
NEWS/CHANGES:
1. Configuration takes place in 3 stages: 1. per host (toplevel
configure script), 2. per target (c/configure), 3. per bsp
c/src/configure automatically triggered from ./configure and
c/Makefile.am.
2. Building of subdirectory c/ takes place in c/$(target_alias) for
cross-targets in c/ for native targets
3. Building of subdirectory c/src takes place in c/${target_alias}/<bsp>
for cross-targets, c/<bsp> for native targets
4. c/build-tools moved to tools/build
5. c/src/exec/score/cpu/tools moved to tools/cpu (=cpu-tools split out)
6. c/update-tools moved to tools/update
7. New subdirectory c/src/make, handles files from make/ on a per BSP
basis
8. Maintainer mode support: Ie. if configuring with
--enable-maintainer-mode disabled (the default), then tracking of many
dependencies will be disabled in Makefiles. Esp. many dependencies for
auto* generated files will be switched off in Makefiles. Ie. if not
using "--enable-maintainer-mode" many auto* generated files will not be
updated automatically, i.e. normal users should not be required to have
auto* tools anymore (untested).
9. Independent configuration scripts for / (toplevel), tools/build,
tools/cpu, tools/update, c/, c/src/, c/src/exec, c/src/lib, c/src/tests,
c/src/make
10. Automake support for all directories above and besides c/src
11. "preinstall" now is implemented as depth-first recursive make target
12. host compiled tools (exception bsp-tools) are accessed in location
in the build tree instead of inside the build-tree when building RTEMS.
13. RTEMS_ROOT and PROJECT_ROOT now point to directories inside the
build-tree - many tiny changes as consequence from this.
14. --with-cross-host support removed (offically announced obsolete by
cygnus)
15. Changing the order of building libraries below c/src/lib/
16. Former toplevel configure script broken into aclocal/*.m4 macros
17. Newlib now detected by configure macros, RTEMS_HAS_NEWLIB removed
from *cfg.
18. sptables.h now generated by autoconf
19. Rules for "mkinstalldirs temporary installation tree" moved from
c/Makefile to subdirectories.
20. Cpu-tools do not get installed.
21. FIX: Use ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS instead of ACLOCAL = -I ... in Makefile.ams
which are in directories with own configure scripts.
22. Hardcoding BSP names into libbsp/.../tools to avoid RTEMS_BSP get
overridden from the environment.
22. FIX: Handling of MP_PIECES in various Makefiles
23. FIX: Removing "::" rules from some Makefile.ins
24. FIX: File permission chaos: (-m 444 and -m 555 vs. -m 644 and -m
755) - Now all include files use -m 644.
25. Removed many gnumake-conditionals in Makefile.ins - Partially
replaced with automake-conditional, partially replaced with
conditionalized Makefile variables (... _yes_V)
26. Massively reworked acpolish: acpolish now parses Makefile.ins and
interprets parts of the Makefile.ins.
27. FIX: Some $(wildcard $(srcdir)/*.h) macros removed / replaced with
explicit lists of files in Makefile.ins.
28. FIX: Replacing MKLIB with RANLIB in Makefile.ins
29. HACK: Add preinstallation for pc386 specific
$(PROJECT_RELEASE)/BootImgs directory
... many more details, I can't recall
KNOWN BUGS:
1. make [debug|profile]_install do not do what they are promissing.
"make [debug|profile] install" does what "make [debug|profile]_install"
has been doing. Proposal: remove [debug|profile]_install
2. Dependencies between temporary installation tree and source tree are
not yet handled correctly.
3. Dependencies between temporary installation tree and source tree are
handled ineffencently (Using INSTALL_CHANGE instead of make
dependencies)
4. RTEMS_ROOT, PROJECT_ROOT, top_builddir, RTEMS_TOPdir now are
redundant.
5. The new configure scripts still are in their infancy. They contain
redundant checks and might still contain bugs, too.
6. RTEMS autoconf Makefile.ins use a mixture of configuration
information gathered in c/$(target_alias)/<bsp>/make and of information
collected from their configure scripts.
7. make dist is not fully functional
8. Subdirectory host-/build-/target- configure options (--target,
--host, --build) do not conform to Cygnus/GNU conventions.
9. Some RTEMS autoconf Makefile.in's makefile targets are not supported
in automake Makefile.ams/ins (e.g. get, clobber).
10. Some automake standard targets are not propagated from toplevel and
c/Makefile.am to autoconf subdirectories (eg. make dist).
11. rpcgen generated files are not part of the source-tree (Automake
conventions favor supplying generated files inside the source-tree,
however there is no support for rpcgen generated files in automake, cf.
yacc/lex support in automake).
12. RTEMS_HAS_RDBG handling is flaky. make/*.cfg use RTEMS_HAS_RDBG per
CPU, while librdb's sources can only be built per BSP. Raises the more
general question whether librdbg located correctly in the source-tree.
13. All make/*cfg files are configured per cpu, currently there is no
location to store per-bsp configuration information --> bsp.cfg, per
aconfig.h?
14. "make install" without having run "make all" beforehand does not
work.
15. handling of --enable-multiprocessing seems to be broken in
make/custom/*
16. Makefile.ins still exploit many gmake features.
17. File permisson chaos on libraries (no explict -m for
libraries/rels/etc).
18. mcp750 Makefiles are broken (Note: I *do* mean buggy - I am not
talking about "not-conforming to conventions", here :-).
19. Dependencies between configure scripts are not handled, eg. aborting
"make RTEMS_BSP=<bsp>" can leave the build-tree in an unusable state.
20. "make clean" does not delete <build-tree>/<bsp>. This is intentional
for now, because rerunning "make" after "make clean" requires an
explicit "make preinstall" afterwards now. This should be done
automatically, but doesn't work in this case for now. To work around
this problem <build-tree>/<bsp> is kept during "make clean" for now
(HACK).
TODO:
1. split out host-compiled bsp-tools
2. Use Cygnus/GNU standards for cross-compiling target-subdir
(CC=CC_FOR_TARGET .. configure --host=${target_alias}
--build=`config.guess'}), to be added to toplevel configure script after
splitting out bsp-tools.
3. Exploit per cpu support directory (c/src/<cpu>)- Splitting out
per-cpu libraries - Are there any?
4. Further automake support
5. Converting subdirectories into standalone / self-contained
subdirectories (Esp. moving their headers to the same common root as
their sources, eg. mv lib/include/rtems++
lib/librtems++/include/rtems++) - This is the main obstacle which
prevents moving further towards automake.
6. Propagating values from *.cfg into Makefiles instead of propagating
them at make time via Makefile-fragments (i.e. try to avoid using
*.cfg).
7. Testing on cygwin host (I *do* expect cygwin specific problems).
8. The ARCH in o-$(ARCH)-$(VARIANT) build-subdirectories is not needed
anymore.
GENERAL ISSUES:
1. Temporary installation tree -- Ian and I seem to disagree basically.
Though I think that I understand his argumentation, I do not share it.
IMO, his way of using the buildtree is mis-using the build-tree, relying
on an inofficial feature of RTEMS's current implementation, which
doesn't even work correctly in the current build-tree, though it
attempts hard to do so. From my very POV, it unnecessarily complicates
the structures of the source- and build-trees. It is not supported by
automake (No automatic generation for the necessary rules) and
complicates the transition to automake significantly (Generating the
rules with an enhanced version of acpolish could be possible).
As Ian correctly pointed out, here a management decision is needed -
though I don't see the need to draw this decision in short terms.
2. preinstallation generally is a sure means to spoil the structure of
the source tree, IMHO (No ranting intended, I am completly serious about
this one). eg. through tree dependencies. The worst problem related to
this I have found in the meantime is bsp_specs. bsp_specs is part of
libbsp, ie. there is *no* way to build *any* part of the source tree
*without* having a BSP *preinstalled*.
Note: This issue is related to issue 1., but is not identical - The
difference is the change of the order make rules have to be triggered.
While preinstallation triggers rules spread all over the source tree
before a "make all" can be run, a temporary installation tree could also
be installed by post "make all" hooks (all-local:, to be run after make
all in a directory is completed) if the directories' dependencies would
be a tree,
3. Stuctural dependencies between subdirectories.
4. Depth of the source tree (Prevents multilibbing and introduces many
unnecessary configure scripts).
5. per cpu vs. per bsp configuration (There are no real per-cpu parts
yets :-).
6. automake does not support $makefiles in AC_OUTPUT. Unlike before, we
now should try to avoid RTEMS_CHECK_MAKEFILE and to hard-code as much
paths to Makefiles as possible.
7. General redesign of the source tree
8. Main installation point - Changing it to ${prefix}/${target_alias}. ?
Besides item 8. (which is a must, IMHO), as far as I see most of them
can not be solved soon and will remain issues in the mid- to long-term
:-.
REMARKS:
* You (as the maintainer) should always use --enable-maintainer-mode
when building RTEMS to ensure that maintainer mode generated files (esp.
those in c/src/make) will be updated when make/* files have changed.
* Use @RTEMS_BSP@ in Makefile.ins and Makefile.ams below c/src/,
$(RTEMS_BSP) or ${RTEMS_BSP} will be overridden from environment
variables when using make RTEMS_BSP="....".
* c/src/make is a temporary cludge until configuration issues are
solved. At the moment it is configured per bsp, but contains
per-target/cpu info only. Its main purpose now is to circumvent
modifying make/*.cfg files, because I consider make/* to be frozen for
backward compatibilty.
* This patch should only affect configuration files. At least I do not
remember having touched any source files.
* To build the bare bsp you now need to mention it in --enable-rtemsbsp.
Example: building gensh1 and sh1/bare simultaneously:
../rtems-rc-19990709-1/configure --target=sh-rtems \
--enable-rtemsbsp="bare gensh1" \
--prefix=/tmp/rtems \
--enable-bare-cpu-cflags='-DMHZ=20 -m1
-DCPU_CONSOLE_DEVNAME=\"/dev/null\"' \
--enable-bare-cpu-model=sh7032 \
--enable-maintainer-mode \
--enable-cxx
make
make install
* The next steps in development would be to split out bsp-tools and then
to change to Cygnus/GNU canonicalization conventions for building the c/
subdirectory afterwards (i.e. many standard AC_*.m4 macros could be used
instead of customized versions)
FINAL REMARK:
The issues mentioned in the lists above sound much worser than the
situation actually is. Most of them are not specific to this patch, but
are also valid for the snapshot. I just wrote down what I came across
when working on the patch over the last few weeks.
I wouldn't be too surprised if you don't like the patch at the current
point in development. I am willing to discuss details and problems, I
also have no problem if you would post-pone applying this patch to times
after 4.1, but rejecting it as a whole for all times would be a false
management decision, IMHO.
Therefore I would suggest that you, if your time constaints allow it,
should at least play a little while with this patch to understand what
is going on and before drawing a decision on how to handle this
proposal. I know this patch is neither perfect nor complete, but I
consider it to be a major breakthrough. Don't be anxious because of the
size of the patch, the core of the patch is rather small, the size is
mainly the side effect of some systematic cleanups inside the Makefiles
(result of acpolish).
Feel free to ask if you encounter problems, if you don't understand
something or if you meet bugs - I am far from being perfect and am
prepared to answer them.
Ralf.

-- configure now fails to detect the toolchain for linux-posix.
As work-around, I have reverted to the old behavior of RTEMS_TARGET_CPU_NAME,
thus no_cpu/no_bsp will fail badly in configure again.

Yep, I think I know what's going on.
AC_SUBST(RTEMS_CPU) is missing in configure.ins, thus @RTEMS_CPU@ in
target.cfg.in doesn't get substituted correctly, causing the bug above. Due
to the redundancy of RTEMS_CPU, other most BSPs don't seem to be affected.
Other similar problems probably exist for the unix/posix bsp and the hppa.1
cpu, because their */tools/*Makefile.ams require RTEMS_CPU, too.

This patch should fix the nastiest configuration bugs for no_cpu/no_bsp.
With this patch applied, configure --target=no_cpu-rtems now correctly
acknowledges its configuration, but later fails building when trying to
build libcsupport (I leave this problem for you :-).
Fixes/Changes:
* aclocal/canonicalize-target-name.m4: use RTEMS_CPU instead of
target_cpu, switch to a native compiler setup if target = no_cpu*rtems,
ie. implicitly use host=target (native) and RTEMS_CPU=no_cpu for
--target=no_cpu*rtems.
* add no_bsp/bsp_specs (Support -qrtems, -qrtems_debug; please check
before adding :-)
* Use RTEMS_CANONICALIZE_TARGET_CPU instead of AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM in
toplevel/configure.in
* All references to $target_cpu in aclocal/*.m4, Makefile.ins and *.cfg
files changed to RTEMS_CPU
* bug fixes to exec/score/cpu/no_cpu/wrap (This part of the patch may
result into patch rejections, because your recently posted patch may
also have addressed this problem).
After applying this patch, please do:
cvs add c/src/lib/libbsp/no_cpu/no_bsp/bsp_specs

<corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>:
This patch removes MKDIR from RTEMS source tree and fixes another small
bug in the definition of INSTALL_VARIANT (cf. to the patch itself for
details, it should be self-explanatory)

FYI: I am not talking about using "make -C <dir>", which probably
is much faster on M$ hosts than RTEMS's implementation, but about
removing --enable-gmake-print support and to apply a variant of
automake's subdirectory.
Automake's subdirectory rule seems to be a little bit faster, but I
wouldn't bet on this.
Attached to this mail is my proposal.
After applying the patch, please run
cvs rm aclocal/enable-gmake-print.m4
./autogen

--enable-tests problem a better way.

This patch addresses a few minor issues and contains a few (minor)
preparations for automake.
* configure.in: Fix for handing c/src/tests subdirectory handling (FIX)
* aclocal/rtems-top.m4:
+ Add TARGET_SUBDIR and --with-target-subdir (preparation of future
enhancements for cross-compiling)
+ Activate RTEMS_ROOT handling (automake preparation)
* automake/*.am: replace comments "#" with "##" so that comments won't
get included into Makefile.in's anymore
* c/update-tools/* automake support (NEW)
* ./autogen update/enhancement (cf. ./autogen for details)
After applying this patch please run:
./autogen
cvs add c/update-tools/configure.in
cvs add c/update-tools/Makefile.am
cvs add c/update-tools/aclocal.m4
|
| |
|
|

configure scripts did not match on the default value of --enable-tests.

Yet some more modifications, I would recommend to be considered before
releasing a snapshot:
1. Cleanup to aclocal/
cvs rm -f aclocal/cygwin.m4
cvs rm -f aclocal/exeext.m4
They are neither used nor needed anymore, however they also don't
disturb (we use autoconf-2.13's AC_EXEEXT instead, now)
----------
2. rtems-rc-19990328-0.diff
Some (minor) bug-fixes:
* make/Templates/Makefile.inc.in: use the new installation directory
($(prefix)/ instead of $(prefix)/rtems/)
* c/src/exec/score/tools/generic/Makefile.am: added line to include local.am
* c/src/exec/score/tools/*/configure.in: added CVS Id header
----------
3. rtems-rc-19990328-1.diff
Enhancements and cleanups to autogen, rtems-polish.sh, configure.in etc.
* autogen: Use the file "VERSION" to detect RTEMS toplevel directory,
extended usage-message, use "find -print"
* c/update-tools/cipolish: New script to beautify configure.in scripts
* c/update-tools/rtems-polish.sh: Use the file "VERSION" to detect RTEMS
toplevel directory, extended usage-message, added variable for perl
scripts' subdirectory, use "find -print", cipolish support, new options
-ac -am -ci.
* aclocal/*.m4, configure.in: moved some AC_SUBST lines to aclocal/*.m4
(reduces size of configure.in
scripts, eases splitting configure.in scripts).

description follows:
Description:
* automake for *all* tool subdirectories (Makefile.am, configure.in etc.)
* autogen now also considers CONFIG_HEADER (generates stamp-h.ins and
config.h.ins)
* c/src/tests/tools/generic/difftest and
c/src/tests/tools/generic/sorttimes generated by configure scripts
* c/update-tools/ampolish, beautifier for Makefile.ams, similar to
acpolish
* rtems-polish.sh added to c/update-tools/ + ampolish support
* New subdirectory ./automake, contains automake -Makefile fragments to
support RTEMS make "debug, debug_install, profile, profile_install" for
native Makefile.ams (== ignore these make targets).
* aclocal/rtems-top.m4's RTEMS_TOP now reads the automake makefile
variable VERSION from RTEMS ./VERSION file.
* ./configure.in uses the macros from aclocal + support for the tools'
configure scripts
Remarks:
* To run rtems-polish.sh, "cd <rtems-source-tree>;
./c/update-tools/rtems-polish.sh"
* AFAIS, now all native subdirectories are converted to automake (Please
drop me a note, if I forgot something).
* Unless you notice something fatal, IMO the time has come for a public
try (== snapshot). I do not intend to send more automake related patches
within, say 2 weeks, to give these patches time to settle and to give me
some time to think on how to continue.
* The patch assumes installation to the new main installation directory
[$(prefix)].

This is the first real automake patch.
It adds automake support to c/build-tools and cleans up a few minor
issues.
I consider this to be a testing probe to examine problems with automake.
Therefore, this patch is just a more or less harmless replacement of the
former RTEMS Makefiles and I expect it not last for long. If you want to
give automake Makefiles a public try and if you want/need to learn about
problems with it, then it's about time for a new snapshot, IMO. I may
have screwed up something not directly related to automake, but I expect
very few (none to be precise) problems with automake. However, somebody
should at least try building on Cygwin. If you feel a bit more
adventureous, then I also can continue to submit more patches.
[FYI: I still have a couple of automake files laying around, but they
need some cleanup before being submitted as patches. Now, that I am just
into it, I'll perhaps submit another one tonight :-]
After applying this patch (patch -p1 -E <
<path-to>/rtems-rc-19990318-0), first run the "autogen" script from the
toplevel source directory, before committing to CVS. Be careful about
dependencies between Makefile.am and Makefile.ins when cutting tarballs
from CVS. Makefile.ins are required to be newer than Makefile.ams,
otherwise users would need to have automake, autoconf and perl. Some
people recommend to "touch" all Makefile.in after checkout from cvs (cf.
egcs/contrib/egcs_update).
ATTENTION:
* This patch adds a number of new files.
* remove aclocal/exeext.m4 and aclocal/cygwin.m4 from CVS, They are now
covered by autoconf-2.13`s AC_EXEEXT.
Some features/side-effects which are probably interesting for you:
In a configured build-tree "cd c/build-tools", then try
* "make RTEMS_BSP=<bsp> install"
* "make RTEMS_BSP=<bsp> dist"

OK, I 've made up my mind to cut a big chunk of my automake-patches (:-).
Below you can find a drop-in replacement of the aclocal directory. It
contains a lot of new macro files, most of them are directly cut from rtems
top-level configure script, some are new some are identical to former
versions. The motivation behind these files is to reuse parts from rtems
current top-level configure.in script in up-coming subdirectory configure.in
scripts.
I'd like to ask you to untar the archive ontop of the source tree and to
add/commit these files to CVS. Adding these files should not have any
influence on RTEMS momentary configuration (except of you are required to
run aclocal -I aclocal && autoconf afterwards), because most of them
currently are not used at all.
---------
BTW: Please upgrade to autoconf-2.13 and automake-2.4, if you havn't done
this already (egcs/CVS require them, too). My upcoming automake files
require automake-2.4 which requires autoconf-2.13 or later.

Moves some configure.in fragments to new macro files below aclocal/
(Motivation: Prepare splitting the toplevel configure.in script)

Here is a cosmetic patch which corrects a few spelling problems in parts
written by me.
Apparently, I must have written these under the influence of ether (:-)
