running SCons, make it into a sticky option that can be overridden at build time, and set it up before the interpreter is started. Also, fix the code that turns sticky options into config/*.hh so that it works with types other than bool. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 602398b35d4da4e813f78865678ed348fdea7270
This is release 2.0_beta (patch 1) of the M5 simulator. For detailed information about building the simulator and getting started please refer to http://www.m5sim.org. Specific pages of interest are: http://www.m5sim.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_M5 http://www.m5sim.org/wiki/index.php/Running_M5 Short version: 1. If you don't have SCons version 0.96.91 or newer, get it from http://wwww.scons.org. 2. If you don't have SWIG version 1.3.28 or newer, get it from http://wwww.swig.org. 3. In this directory, type 'scons build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick'. This will build the debug version of the m5 binary (m5.debug) for the Alpha syscall emulation target, and run the quick regression tests on it. If you have questions, please send mail to m5-users@m5sim.org WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT) ------------------------- The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - m5: - src: source code of the m5 simulator - tests: regression tests - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5 - system/alpha: source for Alpha console and PALcode To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled console, PALcode, and kernel binaries and one or more disk images. These files are collected in a separate archive, m5_system.tar.bz2. This file can he downloaded separately. M5 supports Linux 2.4/2.6, FreeBSD, and the proprietary Compaq/HP Tru64 version of Unix. We are able to distribute Linux and FreeBSD bootdisks, but we are unable to distribute bootable disk images of Tru64 Unix. If you have a Tru64 license and are interested in obtaining disk images, contact us at m5-dev@eecs.umich.edu.
