14 | UNCOMPRESSING .tgz FILES |
---|
15 | =========================== |
---|
16 | Many of the files found in this directory and its subdirectories |
---|
17 | are gzip'ed, tar archive files. These files have the ".tgz" |
---|
18 | extension. They were compressed with gzip version 1.2.4. |
---|
19 | |
---|
20 | Use a command sequence similar to the following to uncompress each |
---|
21 | file: |
---|
22 | |
---|
23 | gzcat FILE.tgz | tar xvof - |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | where FILE.tgz is the file to be installed. This procedure will |
---|
26 | extract the files in the archive into the current directory. |
---|
27 | All of the .tgz files associated with this release RTEMS will |
---|
28 | place their contents in a subdirectory rtems-<release> in the current |
---|
29 | directory. |
---|
30 | |
---|
31 | If you are unsure of what is in an RTEMS archive file, then use |
---|
32 | the following command sequence to get a listing of the contents: |
---|
33 | |
---|
34 | gzcat FILE.tgz | tar tvf - |
---|
35 | |
---|
36 | NOTES: |
---|
37 | |
---|
38 | (1) The "-o" option to tar is included on the tar command line |
---|
39 | so that the user extracting the tar archive will own the extracted |
---|
40 | files. |
---|
41 | |
---|
42 | (2) gzcat is sometimes installed as zcat. Be warned that on many |
---|
43 | (most) UNIX machines, zcat is associated with compress (.Z files). |
---|
44 | |
---|
45 | (3) If you do not have gzip 1.2.4, it is available from numerous sites |
---|
46 | including this one. Other sites include prep.ai.mit.edu and |
---|
47 | gatekeeper.dec.com. |
---|
48 | |
---|
49 | (4) The GNU archive files included in this distribution are packaged |
---|
50 | exactly like they are on official GNU ftp sites. When extracting |
---|
51 | GNU archives, they will not extract under a rtems-<version> |
---|
52 | directory. They will extract themselves under a directory which |
---|
53 | is the name and version of the tool in question. For example, |
---|
54 | gcc-2.5.8.tgz will extract its contents into the subdirectory |
---|
55 | gcc-2.5.8. |
