So I'm trying to build the eCos configuration tool on my FreeBSD 6.1
system and I'm running into some interesting issues. It seems like the
entire tcl/Tk detection system is either ancient, broken, or not written
to take into account how FreeBSD stores stuff.
Is it worth my time to change configure.in to support FreeBSD? Or are
there other similar issues littered through the code? Please tell me I
am not tilting at windmills expecting this to work. Thanks!
Could you be a bit more specific?
The work I mentioned has already been done, as you pointed out. The
ecos-tool port is already in ports, and I've installed it. Only one
snag in using it that I can see -- it assumes "make" is GNU make. How
can I tell it to use "gmake" instead?
We know that the autodetection does not always work. As it says in
README.host on some systems its necassary to pass something like
--with-tcl=/usr/ -with-tcl-version=8.4 to get it to build. I need this
for my Debain system. However once this is done ecosconfig compiles
without problems.
This just works with the port for what it's worth.
I also remember somebody else is using FreeBSD for the host. Maybe
there is some useful information in the email archives?
Also, a quick google found me:
http://www.freshports.org/devel/ecos-tools/
It looks rather old, but not much has changed in the config tools
lately.

Thanks!
