[En-Nut-Discussion] Installing the Unix emulation of Ethernut HOWTO

[Michael Müller]

I tried out my former install instructions for Ubuntu Edgy with my
recently installed Ubuntu Feisty and it worked straight forward the 
same way. I had no problems at all. I am going to put the instructions
into the NutOS Wiki.

Maybe these annotations might also be helpful for someone:

   If the application directory is not inside the default example 
   directory some Makefile variables of the application have to
   be adapted.

   The path /opt/ethernut-4.2.1_unixEmul/ has to be changed 
   accordingly

   Eg.:

    top_srcdir = /opt/ethernut-4.2.1_unixEmul/
    LIBDIR = /opt/ethernut-4.2.1_unixEmul/lib/gcc/unix
    NUTPATH = /opt/ethernut-4.2.1_unixEmul/app
