Appendix 2. Setting Up Your Software Development Environment
This appendix shows the procedure for setting up the GNU software development tools and example source code. The GNU software development tools setup procedure is broken down into two sections: one for Windows and one for Linux. The GNU software tools we use for the example code include the gcc version 3.4.4, as version 2.15, ld version 2.15, gdb version 6.3, and binutils version 2.15.
This book’s web site contains several compressed archive files that expand to include the various source code and tools used in this book. These files are:
windowshost.zip
Contains the Cygwin setup files and the Windows-based GNU software development tools
linuxhost.tar.gz
Contains the Linux-based GNU software development tools
ecos.tar.gz
Contains the eCos source code repository and the eCos development tools (see Appendix D for additional information on setting up the eCos host environment)
examples.zip and examples.tar.gz
Contain the book’s example code

The GNU software development tools were run on a Pentium 4 computer ...
