[ECOS] Sorry, still a command-line prob in Cygwin...

[ECOS] Sorry, still a command-line prob in Cygwin...

[Lewin A.R.W. Edwards]

Hi people,

My curse continues... I just reformatted and started clean:

* reinstalled Win98, cygwin 1.1.8, eCos 1.3.1, updated configtool/ecosconfig
* set ECOS_REPOSITORY=appropriate path
* make new directory for temp build
* ecosconfig new edb7xxx still gives the thousands-of-missing-packages 
errors. The last few errors are:

ecos.db, target stb: warning
     This target refers to a package `CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL' that is not 
hardware-specific.
Hardware selection: warning
     The target specification lists a package `CYGPKG_HAL_ARM' which is not 
present in the component repository.
Hardware selection: warning
     The target specification lists a package `CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_EDB7XXX' 
which is not present in the component repository.
Hardware selection: warning
     The target specification lists a package `CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL' which is 
not present in the component repository.
Unknown template default

What could I possibly be doing wrong? The repository is mounted in text 
mode. Everything works when I use the graphical tool (same repository!). 
Why do the command-line tools not work?

I'm sorry to be pestering the list again with this, but I really want to 
get it working if I can, so that I can then proceed to use the latest CVS 
sources (to do which, I need to use the command-line tools as the new GUI 
tool is broken for Win98).

Profuse thanks for any help.

Lewin:

I'm not sure whether I have the same problem, but you might want to try
this.  If I open a Cygwin window I can do an ecosconfig just fine.  If I
then do a make in that same window, any further ecosconfig runs generate
streams of errors like yours.  What I have been doing to get around this is
to use one Cygwin window to execute ecosconfig and another one to do the
makes.  Even then, occasionally I will have to close out the ecosconfig
window and start it again.

I also can't run the current GUI tool on 98.  It would be nice to find a
solution to that.

Hi George,

Thanks for the response.

That's pretty weird. Unfortunately it doesn't describe my case. Even if I 
just type "ecosconfig list" in a freshly-opened Cygwin window, it doesn't 
work :(

Win9x/ME has a lot of internal limitations and "subsetted" APIs. 
Unfortunately, most of my development hardware requires direct access to 
parallel or serial ports (you have no idea the hoops I jumped through 
looking for an ultralight laptop that has a built-in serial port, too!).
