Folks,

I saw this. hosttest.exp seems to get deleted at the configure phase. I put
it back from the distribution tarball, typed make and all seems fine.

Odd.

Subject: [ECOS] problem in building ecos host side software


hi all,

i am trying to build ecos host side software. i did code check out from the
anonymous repository to get the latest version of ecos. 
i am able to run configure script which is there in the ecos/host/configure.
after that it create the Makefile. 
the problem what i am facing is when i tried to run the generated Makefile,
it is giving the compilation error. the following is the error what i am
getting. 

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `hosttest.exp', needed by `all-am'.
Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/u/ARM/ecos/host/build/infra'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/u/ARM/ecos/host/build/infra'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/u/ARM/ecos/host/build/infra'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

i tried searching for hosttest.exp file which is not there in my system. 

could any body help me in solving this problem?

thanks in advance,

ravi kumar

I suspect that you have run configure inside the source tree. This is
discouraged, instead it is recommended that you use a separate build
tree as per the host/README file. For our internal builds we always
use a separate build tree, keeping the source tree clean and thus
avoiding lots of CVS noise.

The problem with hosttest.exp was reported a while back, but IIRC only
happened if you ran "make clean". I have not yet tracked down exactly
what is causing it or how to fix it: it is low priority because it
does not affect the way we build things internally. Restoring the
file as recommended by John Gumb would sort out the problem.
