v12 v13 7 7 8 8 We prefer you use a GNU/Linux distribution if possible, as these tend to be the best supported. 9 == = Directions for Students ===9 == Directions for Students == 10 10 11 11 Follow the instructions at https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/GSoC/GettingStarted **EXCEPT**: … … 27 27 || Kevin F. || Linux Mint 13 LTS || sparc-rtems4.11 || 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. 28 28 || Evan M. || Ubuntu || sparc-rtems4.11 || I found the directions straightforward, although I do admit I had some trouble from time to time. It also seemed like several pages contradicted each other, but that might have been on my side due to my lack of experience. 29 || Kkvazar Q. || Fedora 20 || sparc-rtems4.11 || I wasn't able to finish the task, because I got lost in the documentation, the pages weren't well related and were contradicting. Some useful pages weren't easy to find such as the git README. I expected sb-check to tell me about missing devel libs, but it didn't. 'bootstrap' was hard to find and it failed on missing files. Most of the questions I had were asked online, but weren't answered.30 29 || Ralph H. || Linux Mint 17.1 || sparc-rtems4.11 || Instructions were very clear and simple to follow, albeit spread over several pages. Compiling RBS was simple, with the error messages clear (I only had to install CSV). Finding information was easy, and compilation was successful first time (with slight modifications to certain paths to match my projects directory path). I should probably note that I likely had most of the dependencies for compiling RBS, etc. already as I had previously manually built a cross-targeted GCC (and so I was already aware of such things as adding targeting executables to the path, as well as using git relatively proficiently, thus I did not need to locate information on such topics). The source tree of RTEMS is simple to navigate, and there were no issues with rebuilding and debugging/running a modified executable. 31 30 || Tan G. || Ubuntu 15.10 || sparc-rtems4.11 || I had a fairly difficult time doing the task both because of some errors in the instructions and some of my own. However, most of these could be solved by looking at the logs and searching around a bit. Two problems I had in particular were that build-rep chose python2.7 instead of python2.7-dev and I had to install it directly and the package for git-send-email was named git-email unlike what the instructions said. The first one was especially problematic because I didn't understand the problem until I looked at the error log instead of the incomprehensibly long build log. 32 || Alex S. || Debian Jessie (64-bit) || sparc-rtems4.11 || The documentation was straightforward and easy to follow, but at first the source tree of RTEMS can be confusing, and the architecture-specific tools need to be exported to your {{{PATH}}} to be readily used. The directions for building RBS were harder to follow than for RTEMS. ''Note for future newcomers: compiling with {{{-j`nproc`}}} will significantly speed up your build on multi-core hosts.''33 31 || Michał P. || Arch Linux || sparc-rtems4.11 || Instructions were relly easy to follow, I had no problem building RTEMS. Unfortunatelly, RSB scripts assume that {{{/usr/bin/python}}} is {{{python2}}}, but that's an issue with nearly every build script and it's easy to solve, so it was not a big problem. 34 32 || Owen P. || Ubuntu and OS X || sparc-rtems4.11 || When I built RTEMS the first time on Ubuntu, I thought the instructions were relatively clear, but at sometimes seemed vague to me. I had a few errors when trying to build the tool set with RSB, so I had to dig around in the log files multiple times. When I built RTEMS on OS X, it didn't take long and I found it much easier than doing it on Ubuntu, probably because I already had experience. I was able to get it working the first time. 33 34 == Directions for Mentors == 35 Verify the patch, screenshot, and read the feedback above.
