You checked it out, right?
something like

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos co ecos

[check the paths on the website...]

Better make a build directory _outside_ the source tree.

you do not need the configure script for building eCos, only for
building the tools. These are much easier downloaded from ecoscentric.
Instructions on how to do this are on the website.

construct your ecos makefiles using ecosconfig or configtool (which you
just downloaded from CVS).

Basically, there is _no_ difference in _using_ eCos from CVS or from an
official release. The only difference lies in the fact that your using
much more up-to-date eCos source files.
