I have received no other reports of problems with the file open/save
dialog boxes when using eCos Configuration Tool 3.0. Which version of
Windows are you using?

The fact that the common dialog boxes are working for you in configtool
2.11 but not in configtool 3.0 suggests an issue with your Cygwin
installation. configtool 2.11 does not use Cygwin directly.

Check that you are using an up-to-date Cygwin installation. Certain
older Cygwin tools have known issues with Vista.

[ECOS] Re: eCos library build error

[az cards]

I'm finally able to build libtarget.a!!

I hacked all the makefiles (dozens) by replacing "/ecos-c" with "/cygdrive/c" using configtool 2.11 since I cannot get configtool 3.0 to work (file open & save as keep stack dumping).

I also ran into another nuisance where build was failing with "permission denied" for chmod on some files in ecos_install/include/pkgconf folder. For some reason, configtool saved these files with no user/group/other r/w/x access. I manually tried to chmod these files and got the same permission denied error. I had to use Vista's security to change to full control for user for all these files and then chmod worked.

On to building application now... and tackle more strange issues :)

Old versions of the Windows-hosted eCos Configuration Tool create
text-mode Cygwin mounts such as /ecos-c to workaround problems with very
old GNU tools. Such workarounds have not been necessary for many years
and you should now use /cygdrive/c rather than /ecos-c when referring to
logical drive C:.

The error you are observing suggests that you may be using an old
version of the eCos Configuration Tool. Is it possible that you have an
old version of configtool.exe on your computer that is being accessed
instead of the version provided with eCos 3.0? What is the version
number and build date shown in the Help->About... dialog box?
