Preparing the build environment for TMS470
==========================================

In order to compile FC Selenite with TI's original TMS470 compiler, you will
need a Unix/Linux system.  Even though the compiler itself exists in the form
of Windows .exe binaries and thus has to be run under Wine (see below),
everything that we have built on top of it is Unix-based.  The Mother uses
Slackware Linux version 13.37, 32-bit.

You will need to install the following four pieces of software on whatever
machine you will use to run the FC Selenite build process:

1. Wine: self-explanatory.

2. FreeCalypso Wine environment:

   ftp://ftp.freecalypso.org/pub/GSM/TI_src/wine/installed-env.tar.xz

   Extract the content of the above tarball into your ~/.wine/drive_c
   directory - that's all there is to it!

3. nowhine wrapper around Wine:

   ftp://ftp.freecalypso.org/pub/GSM/TI_src/wine/nowhine.c

   Note that Wine may produce different whines on your system than it
   does on mine, in which case if you wish to be relieved of those
   whines, you'll need to edit my nowhine.c hack for your situation.
   And if wine does not whine at all on your system, you can skip the
   wrapper and create a nowhine symlink pointing directly to wine.

4. mokosrec2bin flash image file format conversion utility:

   ftp://ftp.freecalypso.org/pub/GSM/GTA02/gsm-fw/mokosrec2bin.c

Note that the four host software pieces above are exactly the same as what has
been needed to build our previous TCS211-based fw works such as leo2moko-debug
and tcs211-c139 - thus if you have built those previously, you should already
have all of the necessary host tools.
