[ECOS] Re: configtool hang and illegal op issues

[harri.siirtola]

Platform: WIN98, AT91EB40

I'm in a desperate need of this fix, too! I used ConfigTool 1.3.1 after
finding clumsy workarounds (no illegal op if I start from scratch, check
every option needed and "Save As"). After the latest CVS update it's no
longer possible to use 1.3.1 due to "flavor" properties it claims illegal.
And 1.3.1.2 both hangs on "Build library" and crashes (illegal op) on save.

Oh, and I need the latest update for the EB40 port...

Please help!

I'm not aware of these problems, can anyone else on the eCos team shed some 
light?

This should have been cured with recent versions of eCos Configuration Tool 2:

http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/ct2.html

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

It has not been possible to use the original 1.3.1 configtool with
anoncvs for a long time. I suspect the specific change referred to
here was in libcdl:

    2000-06-22  Bart Veer  <bartv@redhat.com>

	* value.cxx, interface.cxx:
	Allow the flavor property to be used on interfaces. booldata
	interfaces allow the use of #ifdef to determine whether or not
	a feature is available. Clean up some of the value stuff to match,
	especially when it comes to savefiles.

That is why on http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/anoncvs.html there is
a section on host configuration tools, telling people to update to a
more recent version such as 1.3.1.2

    >> And 1.3.1.2 both hangs on "Build library" and crashes (illegal

That is a separate problem.
