[ECOS] Linux built ecos apps in windows platform

[Giri Raja]

Hi guys,
     I have ecos and cygwin installed in my windows
laptop. Is it possible to connect to the target from
this machine, through redboot, but use a linux built
application instead. 

Thanks.

Giri.

Sure.  You can compile some of the source files under Cygwin,
some of them under Linux, and then link them all together under
either. Then you can debug under either OS as well.

eCos and gcc/binutils/gdb aren't brain-dead MS products, ya
know. ;)

Mostly yes, the executable does not depend on the type of machine on
which it is built. However there is one caveat: the debug info in the
executable will reference the source files on the build machine, i.e.
your Linux box; unless you make clever use of mount points and/or
symbolic links, the file paths won't work on your cygwin box; hence
gdb will find it difficult to locate the various source files. The gdb
'directory' command may help a bit with this problem.
