This changes adds support to build the autotools if the host installed
version is not a suitable version. Autoconf and automake have hard coded
references to the install prefix and host tools and this makes it impossible
to relocate, that is use in any path other than the install prefix. To
bootstrap automake you need to first build a suitable autoconf and with that
you can built automake for the install prefix. The other complication is
not referencing the install prefix in the path when building in the RSB.
Having the install prefix in the path can result in strange issues appearing
such as gcc using a new assembler feature not present in an older assember
installed under the install prefix.
The process is to build the autotools using an install prefix to an
internal path inside the RSB temporary path and to use that autoconf
to build the version for the install prefix. The internal install
prefix version is also used to bootstrap RTEMS.
Add support to build MinGW tools using Cygwin. This is a Canadian cross
build.
Do not expand the directives when parsing a configuration file. Hold
in the package object the text as read from the configuration file. Still
parse the logic but leave the macros. This allows a configuration to be
varied when the build happens. The Canadian cross uses this to build a
build compiler used to build a Cxc runtime.
Add Cxc support to the build module. In the defaults add rm and rmfile
macros, add Cxc paths and pre-build script code.
In the setbuilder check for a Cxc build and if so and the package
allow Cxc build the build host version then the host target
version.
Add cygiwn support to the defaults processing and to the Windows module.
Autoconf hard codes paths into itself. This change is a first
pass at allowing a clean environment to let automake build. The
ability to 'make install DESTDIR=xxx' autoconf then use it to
build automake needs a clean environment. The purpose is to
allow a prefix that needs root without building and packaging
when root.
