These are fixes to what looks like obvious typos. Some minor improvments are also included, such as: - Write "symbolic link" instead of symlink - Correct capitalization for LLVM (all caps) - Remove dead link and surrounding sentence Signed-off-by: Adriano Carvalho <adrianocarvalho.pt@gmail.com>

Host tools
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Building tools for Linux
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
To allow distributions to distribute all possible tools in a generic way,
|
|
avoiding the need of specific building tools 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 that the version numbers in parentheses above are the package versions at
|
|
the time of writing this document.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building without Python
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The tools-only builds pylibfdt by default. To disable this, use the
|
|
NO_PYTHON variable::
|
|
|
|
NO_PYTHON=1 make tools-only_defconfig tools-only
|
