[ECOS] Problems building eCos from current CVS-Sources

[Wolfram Kattanek <wolfram dot kattanek at imms dot de>]

Hi,

I'm trying to build eCos for linux synthetic target with the posix or elix
template. I checked out the latest CVS sources with the appropriate commands
listed at http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/anoncvs.html . Additionally I downloaded
the host configuration tools for windows (Configtool1312.exe and ecosconfig1311.exe)
and linux (ecosconfig1311-linux). I set ECOS_REPOSITORY to the new eCos sources.
My GNU tools were built following the instructions from the eCos website.

When trying to build the linux target with posix template I got an error message.
Playing around with some targets revealed the fact that it's impossible for me to
build ANY target! The errors are always the same. Here is an example for the AEB
target with the default template (host system is linux):

la:~/ecos/test-work > ecosconfig new aeb

la:~/ecos/test-work > ecosconfig check

2 conflict(s):

 CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL:

The same error messages appear both with windows as well as with linux. Using
other templates gives similar results (with small differences, but I think they
are not important for this particular problem!?). The only exception is the
graphical configuration tool with version number 1.3.1.2 (BTW: when using
1.3.1.2 the "run tests" tool doesn't work because the aeb platform isn't
recognized from the tool. What has to be done to setup this platform correctly?).
Unfortunately the graphical tool isn't available for linux but linux is needed
when using the linux synthetic target (in an comfortable way) :-(

Has anybody an idea what's wrong with my configuration? 

Thanks,
Wolfram
