[ECOS] Building eCos.

[ECOS] Building eCos.

[kalibar6]

Hi all,

I am trying to play a bit with eCos on STM32F4 Discovery board. I am
working under Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit). I know that in downloaded binaries
there is no support for this platform. I have to download source files from
CVS repository and compile them myself. OK. I have downloaded them:

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@ecos.sourceware.org:/cvs/ecos co -P ecos
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@ecos.sourceware.org:/cvs/ecos co -P host

System variable $ECOS_REPOSITORY has been set up to my downloaded files:
/home/kalbar/CVS_repo/ecos_host/packages

Now after multiple approaches I can't get this thing fully compiled and
installed. In main source folder I have created folder 'build' and run
configure script and make and install:

/home/kalbar/CVS_repo/ecos_host/configure
--prefix=/home/kalbar/CVS_repo/ecos_host/build --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4
--with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.4
make
sudo make install


Some files are getting compiled/build but not all of them. There is still
lack of GUI for eCos configuration and package for for my board does not
seem to build. I would really appreciate some help on this matter as I have
spend quite a lot of time on this and got stuck in dead end with no help
from README files nor google.

Hello,

you prefer to work with Linux development host?
I think, I could provide a solution under Windows, but not with Linux.

Best Regards

Richard

Hi

Since you are new to eCos, I would suggest downloading the latest
snapshot build of the eCos Configuration Tool for Linux hosts. Ref:

  http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2011-02/msg00031.html

You might also download the arm-eabi test release toolchain. Ref:

  https://www.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2012-06/msg00047.html

In the eCos Configuration Tool, set the eCos repository location (Build
>> Repository) as follows:

  /home/kalbar/CVS_repo/ecos_host

(this is the folder containing the "packages" folder)

You should then see the eCos configuration tree.

Select the STM32F4-Discovery hardware template (Build >> Templates).

Select the location of your arm-eabi toolchain "bin" folder containing
arm-eabi-gcc (Tools >> Paths >> Build Tools).

You should then be able to build eCos.

I hope this helps...

Wow! That was so easy and solved the problem. I still do not know why I could not compile the whole thing but it does not matter anymore. 

Thanks John.

Robert and I have now managed to track down the problem. The eCos
build system was assuming the GNU version of the install utility. On
some versions of Unix including FreeBSD there is a different version
of install, which by default deletes the original rather than just
copying it. During the first run the make system will install various
files from the build tree to the install tree, leaving the build tree
unusable for subsequent runs.

The following patch to pkgconf/makevars should sort out the problem,
and should still work with the GNU version of install (it accepts and
ignores the -c flag).
