Hi,
I noticed a strange effect when using ecos with cygwin: suddenly my "/cygdrive/d/" appears as "/ecos-d/", which is entered in the registry as a cygwin mountpoint.
Any idea why this happens ?
It must be either ecosconfig or cmake (or something else ;-)
It's the current cygwin with cygwin1.dll 1.5.9.
Bye
Alex

Hi,
you can fix that in regedit.exe (for Windows only). Search for "cygwin" and
take a look at the mounts. Then rename your drive as you want.

Why not use the 'mount' command rather than mucking around in the
registry? That's what the mount command is for.

This behaviour was implemented within the eCos hosts tools years ago to
ensure that the source code was always accessed via a Cygwin text-mode
mount during compilation. This was necessary due to a limitation of the
toolchains of that era. The use of text-mode mounts should no longer be
strictly necessary and, at some point, this behaviour will be removed.
