- Host tools
- ==========
- Building tools for Linux
- ------------------------
- To allow distributions to distribute all possible tools in a generic way,
- avoiding the need of specific tools building for each machine, a tools only
- defconfig file is provided.
- Using this, we can build the tools by doing::
- $ make tools-only_defconfig
- $ make tools-only
- Building tools for Windows
- --------------------------
- If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in the tools directory
- you can use MSYS2, a software distro and building platform for Windows.
- Download the MSYS2 installer from https://www.msys2.org. Make sure you have
- installed all required packages below in order to build these host tools::
- * gcc (9.1.0)
- * make (4.2.1)
- * bison (3.4.2)
- * diffutils (3.7)
- * openssl-devel (1.1.1.d)
- Note the version numbers in these parentheses above are the package versions
- at the time being when writing this document. The MSYS2 installer tested is
- http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/msys2-x86_64-20190524.exe.
- There are 3 MSYS subsystems installed: MSYS2, MinGW32 and MinGW64. Each
- subsystem provides an environment to build Windows applications. The MSYS2
- environment is for building POSIX compliant software on Windows using an
- emulation layer. The MinGW32/64 subsystems are for building native Windows
- applications using a linux toolchain (gcc, bash, etc), targeting respectively
- 32 and 64 bit Windows.
- Launch the MSYS2 shell of the MSYS2 environment, and do the following::
- $ make tools-only_defconfig
- $ make tools-only NO_SDL=1
