Committed Removed some obsolete stuff + Pushing things in the direction of openocd.texi Index: C:/workspace/openocd/doc/INSTALL.txt =================================================================== --- C:/workspace/openocd/doc/INSTALL.txt (revision 0) +++ C:/workspace/openocd/doc/INSTALL.txt (revision 0) @@ -0,0 +1,204 @@ +TODO!!! this should be merged into openocd.texi!!! + + +Prerequisites +============= + +When building with support for FTDI FT2232 based devices, you need at least +one of the following libraries: + +- libftdi (http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/) +- libftd2xx (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm) + +On Windows, you need either Cygwin or MinGW, but compilation for MinGW is also +possible using a Cygwin host. + +Basic Installation +================== + + OpenOCD is distributed without autotools generated files, i.e. without a +configure script. Run ./bootstrap in the openocd directory to have all +necessary files generated. + + You have to explicitly enable desired JTAG interfaces during configure: + +./configure --enable-parport --enable-ft2232-libftdi (OR --enable-ft2232-ftd2xx) \ + --enable-amtjtagaccel + + Under Windows/Cygwin, only the ftd2xx driver is supported for FT2232 based +devices. You have to specify the location of the FTDI driver package with the +--with-ftd2xx=/full/path/name option. + +Under Linux you can choose to build the parport driver with support for +/dev/parportN instead of the default access with direct port I/O using +--enable-parport_ppdev. This has the advantage of running OpenOCD without root +privileges at the expense of a slight performance decrease. This is also +available on FreeBSD using PPI, but the naming of the devices is different. + +Generic installation instructions +================================= + + These are generic installation instructions. + + The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for +various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses +those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. +It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent +definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that +you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file +`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up +reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output +(useful mainly for debugging `configure'). + + If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try +to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail +diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can +be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache' +contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it. + + The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program +called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change +it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'. + +The simplest way to compile this package is: + + 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type + `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're + using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type + `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute + `configure' itself. + + Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some + messages telling which features it is checking for. + + 2. Type `make' to compile the package. + + 3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and + documentation. + + 4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the + source code directory by typing `make clean'. + +Compilers and Options +===================== + + Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that +the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure' +initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using +a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like +this: + CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure + +Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this: + env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure + +Compiling For Multiple Architectures +==================================== + + You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the +same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their +own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that +supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the +directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run +the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the +source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. + + If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH' +variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time +in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for +one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another +architecture. + +Installation Names +================== + + By default, `make install' will install the package's files in +`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an +installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the +option `--prefix=PATH'. + + You can specify separate installation prefixes for +architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you +give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use +PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. +Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix. + + If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed +with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the +option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'. + +Optional Features +================= + + Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to +`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. +They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE +is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The +`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the +package recognizes. + + For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually +find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, +you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and +`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations. + +Specifying the System Type +========================== + + There may be some features `configure' can not figure out +automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package +will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints +a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the +`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system +type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields: + CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM + +See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If +`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't +need to know the host type. + + If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also +use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will +produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of +system on which you are compiling the package. + +Sharing Defaults +================ + + If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, +you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives +default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'. +`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then +`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the +`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script. +A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script. + +Operation Controls +================== + + `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it +operates. + +`--cache-file=FILE' + Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of + `./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for + debugging `configure'. + +`--help' + Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit. + +`--quiet' +`--silent' +`-q' + Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. + +`--srcdir=DIR' + Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually + `configure' can determine that directory automatically. + +`--version' + Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' + script, and exit. + +`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. + Index: C:/workspace/openocd/INSTALL =================================================================== --- C:/workspace/openocd/INSTALL (revision 988) +++ C:/workspace/openocd/INSTALL (working copy) @@ -1,201 +1 @@ -Prerequisites -============= - -When building with support for FTDI FT2232 based devices, you need at least -one of the following libraries: - -- libftdi (http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/) -- libftd2xx (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm) - -On Windows, you need either Cygwin or MinGW, but compilation for MinGW is also -possible using a Cygwin host. - -Basic Installation -================== - - OpenOCD is distributed without autotools generated files, i.e. without a -configure script.
