[ECOS] Compiling the ecos toolchain in Cygwin

[ECOS] Compiling the ecos toolchain in Cygwin

[Shaun Jackman]

I'm not certain if this is the right mailing list for this, my appologies in
advance if it could have been directed better elsewhere.

I'm trying to compile a working gcc/insight/ecos toolchain to target an ARM7
board. The host is a Win98SE box running Cygwin.
I downloaded the binutils source, configured it for the target system, and
compiled it. no problems so far
I downloaded the gcc source and patched it with ecos-gcc-2952.pat and
configured it for the target system, then compiled it. I'm getting all sorts
of compiler warnings and errors though. here's a small sample (I have 70k
more just like it)

...
/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h:1280: stray '\' in program
/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h:1281: stray '\' in program
/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h:1282: stray '\' in program
/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h:1283: initializer element is not
constant
/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h:1283: warning: data definition has

/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h:1283: stray '\' in program
/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h:1284: parse error before `}'
/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h:1284: stray '\' in program
/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h:1285: stray '\' in program
...

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Shaun Jackman

I still get reports about this, even though I can't reproduce it myself
(sigh). But the solution is: 

tr -d '\r' < /src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h > foo
mv foo /src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config/arm/arm.h
