Hi Bob,
and what's about
echo $ECOS_REPOSITORY
cat "$ECOS_REPOSITORY/ecos.db"
Sergei
Hi Sergei,
yes, the repository is defined and the database-file is there - see the
lines below, copied from cygwinTerminal:
Robert@w36 ~
$ echo $ECOS_REPOSITORY
/opt/ecos/ecos_cvs/ecos/packages
Robert@w36 ~
$ cd $ECOS_REPOSITORY
Robert@w36 /opt/ecos/ecos_cvs/ecos/packages
$ ls -a
. compat devs error infra kernel NEWS services
.. CVS ecos.db fs io language pkgconf
templates
ChangeLog cygmon ecosadmin.tcl hal isoinfra net redboot
ECOS_REPOSITORY is also part of the windows environment - copied from
windowsTerminal(cmd):
C:\Windows\System32>echo %ECOS_REPOSITORY%
D:\osy\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos_cvs\ecos\packages
Meanwhile I also had some exchange with Alex Schuilenburg, but the
problem persists: When launching configtools.exe (with a double click on
a link on my desktop), configtools immediately runs on an error:
Error opening eCos repository: Invalid package database and in its log
windows it displays:
ecos.db: error
could'nt read file "/opt/ecos/ecos_cvs/ecos/packages/ecos.db": no
such file or directory
otherwize, configtools other windows are empty. Clicking the error
windows away then opens a window to specify the root of the eCos
repository. However, the entry it displays is already correct:
D:\osy\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos_cvs\ecos
and it does not help iwhen I change the path to
D:\osy\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos_cvs\ecos\packages
Hence, the problem is yet unsolved.
Bob
