Compiling using the included instructions fails here:

Hello Jed

You can check log file in opt/freescale/ELe200/logs/install.405 for errors. Usually it happens when "texlive" pkg is not installed.

I have it installed.

Is there a way to cache and not wipe out intermediate steps? Every ./build restarts from extracting the base files. It makes debugging time consuming.
I realise it's building docs, but does a compiler really need texlive to compile?
Internally how much time has been spent trying to maintain this eclectic collection of versions software and 4674 line build script? Wouldn't it have been easier to just write an llvm backend? Then you could even keep the source to yourself. (BSD vs GPL).

I'm fairly apt at debugging and getting things compiled and running but this is a spaghetti heap of scripts and dependencies.

1. You can adjust dLSTSTEPS section in e200 build job descriptor. See in f-job/ELe200

Or you can set explicitly run

./build.sh s=F494 -s Ebin ELe200‍

where Ebin is desired step.

2 & 3. The build script has the same goal as ABE in Linaro environment.
