[ECOS] Problems with eCos Configuration Tool 2.0

[ECOS] Problems with eCos Configuration Tool 2.0

[Lars.Lindqvist]

Hi,

My name is Lars Lindqvist and I am trying to build a library from the
AEB-2 E7T template. Since this template is not part of the eCos 1.3.1
distribution for Windows I downloaded the latest snapshot of the
anonymous CVS repository. Then I tried to use eCos Configuration
Tool 1.3.1 but I get the following error message when I start the program:

D:/TEMP/ecos/packages/devs/serial/generic/16x5x/current/cdl/
/ser_generic_16x5x.cdl, package CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_GENERIC_16X5X
Property include_files, missing arguments

So I decided to make a try with eCos Configuration Tool 2.0 instead
and then it works with the latest snapshot of the respository. Then I
choose the AEB-2 template with default packages. When I try to build
the library I get dialogs first for the Build Tools and I set the path to
the library D:\cygwin\tools\H-i686-pc-cygwin\bin containing e.g.
arm-elf-gcc.exe creatded when I built the ARM development tools
and this works fine.

Then I get a dialog for User Tool and this is where it goes wrong.
I set the path to D:\cygwin\bin where e.g. cat.exe and ls.exe are
located but get the following error message:

D:\cygwin\bin does not appear to contain the user tools - use this folder
anyway?

Here I answer yes and nothing more happens, no building process
starts. When I choose Build -> Library from the menu again I get
the same User Tools dialog.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Before this I have successfully managed to
- Install Cygwin
- Install eCos following the instructions:
  http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/install-windows.html
- Build the ARM development tools for Windows following:
  http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/tools/win-arm-elf.html
- Install RedBoot(tm) on my E7T board following instructions:
  http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/redboot/e7t.html

While Julian will almost certainly be interested in your problem, and would
want to fix it, in the short term you can instead use the 1.3.1.2
Configuration tool for Windows which you can get from
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/anoncvs.html
