I would suggest changing your development environment to linux, if this is possible for you. My impression is, that most the ecos toolchain and installation problems result from using Windows as host platform. So switching to linux means editing ecos configurations by hand, but so you better know what you are doing, hopefully. Further the unix environment gives you a lot of very powerfull and conveniant tools for the development process. Of course, cygwin tries to give you some of the common tools which are included by default (sic!) in any unix environment. Final remark, this is just my personal impression. I dont think that using Linux will solve all problems of the world, but using Linux for ecos development will make things easier. Chris -- Christian Plessl
