InstallationNotes

@@ +1 @@
+
+MutekH is a flexible kernel, with most configuration tweaks resolved at
+compile time. Therefore, it can only be distributed as source. There is
+no library building involved.
+
+Somes pages of this wiki refer to specific versions of the MutekH source
+tree. This is intended. Here, we'll provide general installation notes,
+therefore, we'll never use an explicit revision.
+
+= Prerequisites to build MutekH =
+
+== For a Linux host (as a process) ==
+
+In order to compile MutekH as a process, like described in QuickStartUnix,
+you only need a working GCC and the header files for your libc. Please
+refer to your distribution manual to know more about this.
+
+== For SoCLib and other embedded platforms ==
+
+For embedded platforms, you'll need:
+ * a working cross-compiler for your target architecture; you may either
+   follow soclib:InstallationNotes, or use [source:trunk/mutekh/tools/crossgen.mk@1269 tools/crossgen.mk], see below
+ * `dtc`, an utility to handle [FlattenedDeviceTree device trees], available at http://git.jdl.com/software/.
+
+
+= Getting MutekH =
+
+This is a simple svn checkout. Pay attention there are some subversion
+clients that cannot handle [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s03.html svn:externals]
+feature. In doubt, a vanilla svn client is recommended.
+
+{{{
+svn co https://www.mutekh.org/svn/mutekh/trunk/mutekh
+}}}
+
+If you need an explicit revision, simply add {{{-r number}}} to the command
+line:
+
+{{{
+svn co -r 1234 https://www.mutekh.org/svn/mutekh/trunk/mutekh
+}}}
+
+
+= Building cross-compilers =
+
+SoCLib installation nodes already provides a way to get cross-compilers,
+if you don't already have them, MutekH holds a tool
+to build a complete cross-compilation toolchain:
+
+The script is in [source:trunk/mutekh/tools/crossgen.mk tools/crossgen.mk].
+
+There is an inline help:
+{{{
+ $ tools/crossgen.mk
+[prints some help]
+}}}
+
+You can try a line like this one to get a Mips cross-compiler:
+{{{
+ $ tools/crossgen.mk all TARGET=mipsel-unknown-elf
+}}}
