Re: Trouble with eCos Config Tool


Ray,

I too have recently started with eCos. I tried running configtool on cygwin but it did not work. Like you, I looked into it and found that this is apparently a problem with newer versions of cygwin.

In the end, I found the page that you referenced, and downloaded the updated tool on this page. I think this is called "configtool-060710.exe". This works for me.

I take it that, though the above web page says that configtool is a wxWidgets app, it is only partially so and still relies on unix calls for which it needs cygwin.

Tom.

Hello,

I am a new to the eCos community.

I followed the commands on the eCos webpage

wget --passive-ftp ftp://ecos.sourceware.org/pub/ecos/ecos-install.tcl

Then invoked installation tool

sh ecos-install.tcl

I followed the commands but did NOT select pre-built GNU toolchain as I
had already
Downloaded a pre-built GNU ARM toolchain.

After selecting a mirror-site everything seemed fine and I got a
installation complete message.

So, I thought my next step was to launch the configtool by invoking
configtool.exe, but nothing happens.

I did a little research on the mailing list and saw some sort of related
problems that say building the
Config tool is "tricky" and that there are known problems when running
against Cygwin 1.5.10 or later( which
applies to me). What am I missing? The procedure outline in the link
http://www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/configtool.shtml
seems to reference the CVS version. Is there a problem invoking the
Config tool with the non-CVS release?

Any help or tips greatly appreciated,

Regards,

-Ray
