This is the same that the one I have from CVS, rev 1.2. Reverting back to
rev 1.1 didn;t help.

There is:

MLT := $(wildcard $(REPOSITORY)/$(PACKAGE)/include/pkgconf/mlt*.ldi
$(REPOSITORY)/$(PACKAGE)/include/pkgconf/mlt*.h)

Oops. I was getting confused by an internal discussion about revamping it
more.

Which is fine.

Reverting to 1.1 should have helped though. I'm pretty sure the problem is
because of the change from 1.1 to 1.2. In the 1.1 version timestamps were
compared (cp -u) before installing the mlt files. In 1.2 it's
unconditionally overwritten, which is a bug that has been fixed internally
but hasn't got propagated out yet.

Yes, they are defaults - although they aren't needed in your case if you're
changing the configuration.

This may be a separate change in the pkgconf/rules.mak file in the most
recent anon CVS update.

Can you try the attached rules.mak file, and put it in pkgconf/rules.mak in
your repository. Failing that can you tell me what the MLT line is in
hal/i386/pc/current/makefile in your build tree?

[ECOS] Trouble with memory layout and config tool

[Fabrice Gautier]

Hi,

i have some trouble with the memory layout.
I've added a user defined section in my project but it never appears in the
linker script.

In fact, when i modify the layout with the graphical tool, then save the
changes the genreated files are updated: include/pkgconf/mlt_i386_pc_ram.h
ad mlt_i386_pc_ram.ldi. But then when i build, it seems like they're
overwritten by the originals files from the source tree.

I noticed that if i delete those generated files from the source tree it
works.
Does these generated files really belongs in the source tree??

I used to have a user section previously and didn't noticed such problem
(but some other) but since then I updated to the latest config tool (1.3.1.2
- which corrected my other problems)

Thanks
