Pardon any naivety..
Has anyone build eCos with compilers other than GNU? For instance, Diab or
Green Hills? If so, how did it go?
Also, is anyone developing eCos targets from a Windows host? What were your
experiences in this area?
The real question (internally here) is whether eCos is tied to
Linux/GNU/GDB, or if anyone has used MULTI or any other windows cross-IDE to
build eCos projects.
-Thanks!

eCos has a number of dependencies on the GNU compilers, see
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/faq.html#porting_compiler
It may be possible to use debuggers other than gdb, provided they can
cope with the output of the GNU compilers and linker. If the debugging
is intrusive, i.e. you need to run some sort of debug stub on the
target in addition to the application, then you would have to
integrate this stub into the system somehow. The current system comes
only with a gdb stub because the core developers use gdb.
eCos development is not tied to a Linux host, in fact one of the tools
(the graphical configuration tool) is currently only available for
Windows hosts. The installation instructions at
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/getstart.html provide information for
both Linux and Windows hosts.
I am afraid I do not know anything about MULTI, e.g. whether or not it
allows the compiler to be selected.

Related GDB questions:
Do other GDB-based GUI front ends like ddd and Emacs work with ECOS?
Does Insight have any ECOS dependencies, to should it work with any GDB
environment?

Emacs certainly does. I'm not sure about ddd, but I imagine it would -
after all eCos uses the standard GDB.

There are no eCos dependencies, so any GDB environment should work
(although all bets are off if the source base is much earlier than GDB
5.0).

DDD works for us using gdb and eCos.

It is very unlikely that the eCos team would do anything that causes
problems for emacs users.
Other front ends such as ddd should also work fine. They may be more
limited than Insight in some respects, for example I do not know
whether or not the ddd folks have added support for thread-aware
debugging yet. Also it is possible that there will be future
extensions to gdb to aid eCos development, and GUI support for these
would almost certainly appear in Insight before ddd. Any such
extensions would of course be optional extras, we have no intention of
forcing people to use Insight.
