 | Adit C. || Ubuntu 13.04 || sparc-rtems4.11 || Source || Instructions were fairly straight forward, however I experience some trouble initially due to missing packages. I had to install the latest versions of bison, cvs, g++, flex, and texinfo. I may have had to do so since I am running Ubuntu 13.04 on a virtual machine in OSX Mavericks. I also had to python2.7-dev installed. Nonetheless, once these packages were installed, I was able to get things done relatively easily.

-| Daniel R. || Fedora 19 || sparc-rtems4.11 || RPMs || easy enough but GPG instructions required Google

 | Pavel Z. || Ubuntu 13.04 || sparc-rtems4.11 || Source || Overall the wiki was clear on what was required. The configuration file did not accept --enable-tests=samples, so I had to consult documentation to build the hello world application found in the git repository myself. Also RTEMS was very specific with the automake version it wanted: I had to compile 1.12.2 from source

 | Kevin F. || Linux Mint 13 LTS || sparc-rtems4.11 || Source || I made lots of errors myself, but overall the instructions were fairly clear. Perhaps the RSB Quick Start should explain moving executables a bit more (like where to find them) and the RTEMS Quick Start should have remarked that you should put export the PATH to the tools bin you compiled. I needed python2.7-dev installed.

-| Radu T. || CentOs 6 || sparc-rtems4.11 || RPMs || I've had some trouble following the instructions, though it's probably from the lack of experience. The Getting Started and the Quick Start page are pretty precise, but I had to go on Google a bunch of times and there was some code that didn't work (for example --disable-posix). Also, for some reason, I had to write the full path to the hello.exe when calling sparc-rtems4.11-gdb - otherwise it refused to find it. I found it a bit hard at first to generate the path, because the instructions weren't all in the same place and not exactly complete.

 | An Ha || Arch Linux || sparc-rtems4.11 || Source || The directions were easy to follow, however, when running the source-builder, sb-check and sb-set-builder, I had to change the first lines from /usr/bin/env python, to /usr/bin/env python2, otherwise it would run the code in python 3, not 2. I also had to install texinfo-legacy from AUR instead of texinfo to fix the problem when building binutils (as stated in the documentation). I also did not have to use the --disable-posix flag when calling ./configure.
