From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Dan Conti" To: "eCos" Subject: RE: [ECOS] NASTY bug in eCos ConfigTool 1.3.1.2 Win32 Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2001 10:40:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2001-06/msg00454.html You can actually make the '*' appear by clicking anywhere else in the config. In general the config tool is less than perfect, there are other things it doesn't do, like if you change the memory layout it won't properly recreate the target.ld file (if you manually delete the target.ld, then save, it will create it properly i think). also there are other changes that dont propogate through the config tree properly, like if you unload a package, but dont change any of the configuration options, it doesn't update any of the libraries, so even though the package is absent in the config, it is still present in the libraries. On a related note for the RedHat folks, since the old config tool is no longer maintained, how much longer before the new tool comes out of alpha? Additionally, with the consistency issues, does the 2.0 alpha tool work properly with older eCos repositories? -Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: Trenton D.
