[ECOS] eCos configtool doesn't work on cygwin

[ECOS] eCos configtool doesn't work on cygwin

[Gentleman.nbg]

Hello eCos-Team,

I am currenty trying to build a eCos System with an application that I wrote for my studies.
Now I have a problem with the configtool under Cygwin.

I downloaded a eCos 2.0 source, where there is a configtool.exe in ecos-2.0/tools/bin when executing it under cygin nothing happens. not even a message from shell.

Then I read that there are some problems with recent cygwin versions, so I tryied to execute the unsupported snapshot of the configtool that should work with the recent cygwin version. This configtool doesnt execute eather.

I found an Windows version of configtool that I could install and even run under Windows, but I don't know if I should use it.
My target is a Freescale MPC5516 microcontroller, that should be able to run eCos 2.0. In the templates I don't know what to choose.

What do u suggest? How can I make a build of eCos now?

Thank you very much

[ECOS] RE: eCos configtool doesn't work on cygwin

[Jérémy Alles]

Hi there,

I'm a new user to eCos (I started to work with it yesterday !) and I had the
same problem (configtool under Cygwin not working). I solved this problem by
using an up-to-date version of configtool that I downloaded from this page:
http://www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/configtool.shtml

I hope that will help,
Best regards,

Jeremy

I'd also *strongly* suggest using the anonymous CVS - eCos 2.0 is approaching
6 years old.

Also, Mr "Gentleman.nbg" (real names are preferred here!), you'll need to
port eCos to your platform.  Starting from the most up to date sources
would be a wise move.

[ECOS] Re: eCos configtool doesn't work on cygwin

[Gentleman.nbg]

I just downloaded the binary, it can execute, but the error is the same.
I have the newest cygwin version. Perhaps they changed again anything.

I have to get the configtool running as my makefile compiles a ecos version where there is a no serial driver (only haldiag, and this can't read just write). I would like to configure eCos by my own.

Thank you

I had this same problem with the GUI. What worked for me was to go into the
ecos tree root in a bash shell and run the configtool from there, with an &
at the end of the line, instead of using a Windows shortcut.

BTW, Windows IE warns that this page has a security certificate issued by a
different domain.
