RE: [ECOS] Host Tools Build Problem - Fedora 8

[Jay Foster <jay at systech dot com>]

Thanks, Gary.  I can now report success in building the ecosconfig tool.  I
needed to install the TCL and TK development packages (yum install
tcl-devel, yum install tk-devel).  The --host error was happening in the
gprof configure directory, which I don't need, so I only ran configure in
the host directory which worked.  Turns out it worked with the
--host=i686-linux-gnu and without, producing the exact same executable
either way.

I think you need to install the TK development packages.

You can probably also just fake it
  # ln -s /usr/lib/libtcl8.{4,3}.so
  # ln -s /usr/lib/libtk8.{4,3}.so

Alternatively, I have RPM packages built on Fedora 7 I could give you.
