Component Configuration

Components are configured using rhe configure command. The configure command features three options:

-f

Chooses the predefined profile for the PowerPC, ppc60x family, for example:

configure -f source_dir/mkernel/sys/ppc60x/ppc60x

This selects the NUCLEUS source component, containing a definition of the variables for the build.

-s

Selects the ChorusOS source components to be included in the build of your system image, for example:

configure -s source_dir/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/mcp7xx \
      source_dir/nucleus/bsp

The components included determine the identity of the image. In this case, you have included the boot and DRV components in source.

-b

Includes binary components in your system image.

The configure command searches the directories specified by the -s and -b options for the Makefile.src and Makefile.bin files and any file corresponding to Makefile.*.src or Makefile.*.bin. The command displays each component as it adds it to the configuration. The configure command creates two files in build_dir, Makefile and Paths.
