[ECOS] RE: cannot start configtool for ecos-2.0

[Richa]

Hi,

 I recently tried to download cygwin and eCos 2.0 and
I'm facing the same problem ie ConfigTool quickly
scans all packages, gives the message "This package
does not have any valid version subdirectories." and
exits.

Has any one been able to get it working?
Has anyone tried it out with an older version of
cygwin.dll as suggested? I couldn't get version
1.5.9-1 at the cygwin site.

If anyone's got it working, can you tell me which
version you've used and where to get it.

Or if there are any other work arounds...

Thanks and regards,
Richa.

  This problem appears with recent versions of Cygwin
dll (e.g. 1.5.10-3).
I've reported the problem to the cygwin list and
written the following
message:

  I don't know if this should be resolved in Cygwin or
eCos... Anyway, for
now, you can get it to work by installing an old
version of cygwin.dll (e.g
1.5.9-1).

Check out if you have got some directory (mentioned in your ecos.db) in your 
ecos tree, that doesn't have the directory beginning with a digit or number (at 
same level where directory current for that package is expected).

Since you haven't mentioned, for what package this message comes (surrounding 
messages around this message), not much idea can be given as to where problem 
exactly is.

here is one experiment you can try to understand your error message. take the 
old ecos tree that you have, know as working w/o probs.

* cd ecos/packages/hal/ums/arch
* mv current .current
* ecosconfig --config=<path to your .ecc> check

you should get the message you mentioned : "This package does not have any valid 
version subdirectories"
surrounding messages give you enough information about where the problem is.

This is behaviour on Linux host, with the ecosconfig that is couple of months old.

Here is a solution until the bug is fixed.

Run the setup program in http://www.cygwin.com and
install cygwin1.dll version 1.5.9-1 (do not use the
latest 1.5.10-1).
 
After starting cygwin bash, you need to run the script
ecosenv.sh in cygwin/opt/ecos directory to set the
proper environment variables.

For avoidance of doubt, the problem was fixed several weeks ago. Full

Thank you for the analysis. Could you create a problem report against 
component "ConfigTool" and HostOS "WinNT/2k/XP" please? The eCos
