The problem is that you will break the target library for those that do want to use it if you do not respect the OpenOCD directory layout.
Even if you are not using the target library in your examples currently, your binary installation should support them. Things may not happen overnight, but the target library will play a signficant role in the future(it is already important, IMHO). Scripting can only make it more important. E.g. I'm thinking about showing some status using some target library defined tcl procs in Zylin Embedded CDT GUI. > Even I do not use "make install" here if I create a windows installer. I strongly suggest that you use "make install", then take the resulting directory layout and use that inside the Windows installer. That way the target library will work for those that do want to use the target library. > I think the primary use of OpenOCD is for debugging, and do we need > the script language for debugging? Actually scripting might make OpenOCD *much* more interesting to use. E.g. there has been work done to display/manipulate the AT91 peripherals using scripts. If that could be hooked up to a graphical GUI in some clever way... that would be awsome! :-) Here target libraries would truely shine as writing these scripts for the peripherals of a particular CPU is going to be a significant amount of work for significant gains. > I think for the beginners we need some more description and examples > how to use OpenOCD with the target library.
