Re: Running RTEMS configure script from Eclipse

Has any of you who use similar setting found a way of running the RTEMS configure script?
I'm trying to do it using the "Running External Tools" functionality but I get an exception
error when the script is launched. I guess that's because Eclipse is trying to run the
configure script as a windows program. I believe I have to tell Eclipse to run it on Cygwin
but can't find how?
Any suggestions?


I have not run the RTEMS configure script inside an IDE such as Eclipse on Windows but I have run configure scripts in Visual Studio. This is using MSYS so I suspect/hope Cygwin is the same.

What I did is:

1. Create a batch file called 'sh-run.bat' and place it in your path.
   The location of the RTEMS tools is a good place. In the batch file
   have:

     @echo off
     rem The following sets the paths and environment.
     call AutoSetEnv.bat
     %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

2. Create another batch file called "AutoSetEnv.bat" in the same place
   and in it place the various environment variables needed to run
   Cygwin. If Cygwin is in your global path environment variable
   you may not need this batch file. If it is not this method
   saves having to have the Cygwin setup in the global path:

     @echo off
     PATH=c:\cygwin\bin;%PATH%

3. To run a configure script or a compile call the sh-run.bat file
   and have 'sh' as the first argument followed by the configure
   command and arguments. You will have to figure out how to set
   the working directory:

     c:\rtems\bin\sh-run sh /opt/src/rtems/configure .....

4. In the case of Visual Studio and a make with GCC I have sh
   call another script that filters the gcc output so VS will
   parse the error messages correctly. This should not be an issue
   for you with Eclipse.

If this works could you please let me know so a Wiki topic can be created on this subject.
