To get the tools, I always checkout 'ecos-full', e.g. % cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos co ecos-full If you just checkout 'ecos' you get a rather minimal tree. If you want to add the tools to an already checked out tree, just use: % cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos co ecos-host > Greg > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: ecos-discuss-owner@ecos.sourceware.org > > [mailto:ecos-discuss-owner@ecos.sourceware.org]On Behalf Of Gary Thomas > > Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 9:18 AM > > To: Greg Lindberg > > Cc: eCos Discussion > > Subject: RE: [ECOS] 1st build of redboot > > > > > > Please copy relies to the list so that all may benefit. > > > > On Thu, 2005-06-02 at 09:06 -0700, Greg Lindberg wrote: > > > Ok, using a code tree just from cvs cured the build problems > > with the eU250 > > > branch, thanks. > > > > > > Seems that the Redboot page that describes how to get the code > > should talk > > > about getting the tools, specifically ecosconfig, because they > > are not in > > > the cvs repository. > > > > > > > Sure it is - you just have to build it. > > % mkdir tools > > % cd tools > > % /configure > > % make > > Where is the top-level directory (contains 'host' and 'packages' > > directories, amongst others) > > > > If you think the documentation can be improved (either the manuals or > > the web pages), feel free to suggest changes (patches!).
