Syslink samples compilation problems

Guru 10685 points

Hi, I'm following the Syslink Install Guide document in order to build some samples. I have hit a stumbling block in the form of a couple of commands on page 9 which are these:

"To build only the sample applications independently, use the following commands:
 cd $SYSLINK_ROOT/ti/syslink/ipc
 xdc all –PR .
 cd $SYSLINK_ROOT/ti/syslink/samples/rtos/platforms
 xdc all –PR .
"

Now, I can run the commands that follow the above section without a problem, but these first two calls to xdc cause complaints. The error on running the first xdc command is:

user@tempuser-desktop:~/ezsdk/ti-ezsdk_c6a816x-evm_5_00_00_56/syslink_02_00_00_56/ti/syslink/ipc$ xdc all .PR .

This suggests the .cfg script is broken somehow. When I run the second xdc command the error is:

user@tempuser-desktop:~/ezsdk/ti-ezsdk_c6a816x-evm_5_00_00_56/syslink_02_00_00_56/ti/syslink/samples/rtos/platforms$ xdc all .PR .

The package build script package.bld is missing. Stop.

Any offers of help will be gratefully received.
