[ECOS] Insight 'make' problem.

[ECOS] Insight 'make' problem.

[Bob Wirka]

Hello,

Cygwin environment on Windows 2000 Pro and Win98 machines; trying to
develop eCos for an i386-elf target.

I've downloaded the net versions  of  eCos, Cygwin, binutils, GCC, GDB,
and Insight. Everything works except I can't get Insight to build. I can
build eCos libraries from the configuration tool. I've built the
'binutils', 'i386-elf-gcc', 'i386-elf-gdb' (without the Insight
wrapper), etc., but the make process for the Insight build fails in the
'tcl' directory.

The errors start here (from make.out):

In file included from /usr/include/w32api/windef.h:143,
                 from /usr/include/w32api/windows.h:96,
                 from
/src/gdb/insight-5.0/tcl/cygwin/../generic/tclEnv.c:750:
/usr/include/w32api/winnt.h:48: parse error before `CCHAR'

The offending line in 'winnt.h' is:

typedef CHAR CCHAR;

This problem occurs on both the Win98 and Windows2000 machines in
exactly the same place. I've tried mounting /tmp and /src in both
'binmode' and 'textmode'; doesn't seem to make a difference.

Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions for a fix?

Thank you,

Bob Wirka

Hi Bob,

Please check the archives for this list (ecos-discuss) as I'm sure I have 
seen this problem - and a solution, or at least a workaround - come up for 
it in the past couple of weeks. I subscribe to several lists that might 
have mentioned it, so I could be mistaken, but I believe it was this one.

The line before would probably be the interesting one. Perhaps the cygwin
list may be a better place to ask :-/.
