[ECOS] problem configuring/building ecos

[Mike MacMillan]

Hello,

Installed ecos-1.3.1 under NT and ran configuration tool to build library. 
In the output
window,"Failed to create process make-i1" is displayed. Here are the steps 
I performed:

1) Selected Templetes under build menu and for hardware selected PowerPC 
Simulator.
2) Also,selected the default package listbox item under the Templates 
Dialog Box.
3) Under Build Menu,selected Library.

In the corresponding ecos generated Build tree,there are several 
subdirectories called v1_3_1 which just contain one makefile,but no ECOS 
object files. Examples:
                                 /ecos-work/ppsim-build/kernel/v1_3_1/
                                 /ecos-work/ppsim-build/hal/powerpc/sim/v1_3_1

Basically,in the build tree,there are only generated Makefiles,no compiled 
object files.
Shouldn't I be able to select a default package for a target and build a 
ecos library.

Any tips,suggestions,etc would be greatly appreciated! Also,does anybody 
know if PSIM
comes with GDB 5.0.1 or only with older versions.

Thank you!

Generating the build tree and the  makefiles is handled by code inside
the configuration tool itself. Actually doing the build is done by
invoking GNU make, which means that you need an installation of cygwin
and you need to set your path correctly. I suspect that you need to
investigate the latter possibility.

According to the PSIM web page at http://sources.redhat.com/psim/

    "PSIM is now bundled with GDB, the GNU debugger.

     These pages are provided for reference only."

I do not know the exact relation between the current simulation code
inside gdb and the original PSIM code, but the main PSIM author
Andrew Cagney is now one of the lead gdb maintainers.
