[ECOS] Problem installing eCos on Windows 7 x64

[Eigil Krogh Sørensen]

When I from cygwin bash run

sh ecos-install.tcl


I get these messages:

"
eCos installer v2.0.1 starting...
Written and maintained by Jonathan Larmour <jifl@eCosCentric.com>

Retrieving installer metadata information...

*** ecos-install.tcl error: Failed to retrieve metadata:
couldn't change working directory to "/tmp": no such file or directory 
"

and the installation stops.


System:
. Windows 7 Ultimate x64
. CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 xxxx 1.7.8(0.236/5/3) 2011-03-01 09:36 i686 Cygwin



Can I do anything to solve the problem?


Best
\Eigil

The message is from the tcl "cd" command. Try creating the missing /tmp
directory using the following command at the Cygwin bash prompt:

  mkdir /tmp

I hope this helps.

Perhaps there is a directory permissions issue here.

Does the following command succeed at a bash prompt?

  cd /tmp

What is the output of the following command?

  ls -ld / /tmp
