From ac7d5ef06a6d6e8d84abbd1f0b82162725f98326 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joel Sherrill Date: Thu, 11 May 1995 17:39:37 +0000 Subject: Initial revision --- INSTALL | 56 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 56 insertions(+) create mode 100644 INSTALL (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2dcc27f9c5 --- /dev/null +++ b/INSTALL @@ -0,0 +1,56 @@ +# +# $Id$ +# + +NOTE: The string should be replaced with + the appropriate release number of RTEMS. + +This file only discusses the installation of .tgz files. +For more detailed information on the installation of RTEMS, +refer to the Release Notes manual in the file +/pub/rtems/releases//doc/c_or_ada/relnotes.tgz on +lancelot.gcs.redstone.army.mil. + +UNCOMPRESSING .tgz FILES +=========================== +Many of the files found in this directory and its subdirectories +are gzip'ed, tar archive files. These files have the ".tgz" +extension. They were compressed with gzip version 1.2.4. + +Use a command sequence similar to the following to uncompress each +file: + + gzcat FILE.tgz | tar xvof - + +where FILE.tgz is the file to be installed. This procedure will +extract the files in the archive into the current directory. +All of the .tgz files associated with this release RTEMS will +place their contents in a subdirectory rtems- in the current +directory. + +If you are unsure of what is in an RTEMS archive file, then use +the following command sequence to get a listing of the contents: + + gzcat FILE.tgz | tar tvf - + +NOTES: + +(1) The "-o" option to tar is included on the tar command line + so that the user extracting the tar archive will own the extracted + files. + +(2) gzcat is sometimes installed as zcat. Be warned that on many + (most) UNIX machines, zcat is associated with compress (.Z files). + +(3) If you do not have gzip 1.2.4, it is available from numerous sites + including this one. Other sites include prep.ai.mit.edu and + gatekeeper.dec.com. + +(4) The GNU archive files included in this distribution are packaged + exactly like they are on official GNU ftp sites. When extracting + GNU archives, they will not extract under a rtems- + directory. They will extract themselves under a directory which + is the name and version of the tool in question. For example, + gcc-2.5.8.tgz will extract its contents into the subdirectory + gcc-2.5.8. + -- cgit v1.2.3
