Subject: Building RTEMS on Solaris

Greetings from L.I.
 
 
We currently run our Slow Controls for the STAR  experiment at BNL using EPICS and VxWorks running on a Solaris.
We  run solaris 8, gnumake 3.79.1, gcc 2.95.3, perl 5.005.
 
Last week we began our build of RTEMS and ran into several problems right from the start.   We were trying to build for a target mvme167.
 
During the course of  this we looked at many list serv archives, and I failed to see where anyone had had an issue with these target/platforms.  I did see an email form Eric Norum regarding folks building for a mvme167 using RTEMS on a Linux... and it got me thinking that maybe no one is trying this.  (Either that or its easy and we are just klutzes???)
 
Has any one tried building RTEMS for Solaris with this target?  If so  I would be interested in hearing from you.
 
------------------------------------------
For the record we tried the following:
 
 
The first trouble we had was with the "Get and build the development
tools".  We simply couldnt get the RTEMS patches for gcc3.2.3 from the OAR site  to work when we applied them on the solaris.  We ignored this finally but clearly the RTEMS build failed with out the right tools.  We eventually tried building the gcc tools on a Mac OSX and a Linux machine and they work ... so we took the patched files we created there and tried to compile those. Still when we tried to build RTEMS itself it stil failed. And despite some very powerfull wishful thinking our attempts to get EPICS to compile with this failed as well  :-)
 
We also tried to ftp the latest version of the tools from the RTEMS site. Still the RTEMS build problems persisted.

We are indeed of ugrade and would are pushing hard to get there.  Presently we have VxWorks 5.2 and its likely we wont spend the $$ to upgrade.  The thinking is that we would try RTEMS first.  Because our VxWorks is old I have only been able to get early versions of 3.13 to build.  I did try 3.13.9 and early versions of 3.14 before I was told our VxWorks would not support this.
