[ECOS] wxWidgets tool

[ECOS] wxWidgets tool

[Slide]

I seem to remember someone saying that the wxWidgets based config tool
is no longer supported and the command line tool is the way to go. Is
there a howto document that takes someone familiar with the Windows
tool and helps them understand how to do the same things with the
command line tool?

thanks

Both tools are supported. Choose the graphical eCos Configuration Tool
or the ecosconfig command-line tool according to your personal preference.

You might be referring to the *old* Windows tool which was retired
many years ago (circa 1999) and replaced by the [more portable] wxWindows
based tool we have today.

As for how to use the command line tool (ecosconfig), have you looked
at the documentation?
  http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/user-guide/using-ecosconfig-on-linux.html

This applies to using ecosconfig on Windows (CygWin) as well as Linux.

Of course, send them to ecos-patches@ecos.sourceware.org
Did you have something in particular that needs work?

Please keep replies on the mailing lists so that all may benefit.

I just have a lot of crashing issues, when I go to create a build
tree, the tool crashes, when I try and save the config, the tool
crashes. I was going to look into those and hopefully submit some
patches. We are going to be using the tool quite a bit at work and
would like to stabilize it a little more (other people have seen the
crashing issue as well). I'll submit what I come up with.

Thanks!

I get a lot of crashes as well (on WinXP), so anything you can do to 
'stabilize' is appreciated.

I noticed some patches available here:
http://www.xylanta.com/WordPress/?page_id=22
including one to make it work with wxWidgets v2.6.

I'm not clear on where the 'official' home of the tool / latest version 
is?  And whether the wxWidgets version also depends on cygwin?

Perhaps the tool should be moved to something like sourceforge.

Tom.

Why?  All eCos tools and ports live in the same CVS tree:
  http://ecos.sourceware.org/anoncvs.html

Yes, true.  My concern was that the status of the tool seems a bit 
confusing, but I guess a different location wouldn't help.

Is there a location for builds that correspond to the code in CVS?

I got my version of the tool from the ecoscentric website.

Just recently, I noticed the Xylanta versions which appear to be more 
recent, but I take it that their changes are not in the CVS tree.  They 
have build as well as patches available on their site.

Perhaps over xmas I could work on upgrading it to the wxWidgets v2.8.6 
and one of the better MS compilers.  I believe it currently compiles 
with VC6 which is very non-compliant.  It would be good if the source 
could compile on GCC or VC7.1+.

Tom.

Coincidentally, I have recently tracked down an issue with the eCos
Configuration Tool when built against wxGTK 2.6.x on Linux. The Xylanta
patches will be checked-in when the necessary copyright assignment is in
place.

The official home is alongside the eCos run-time sources. Ref:

  http://ecos.sourceware.org/anoncvs.html

It is necessary to checkout both the "ecos" and "ecos-host" modules from
the CVS repository.

I can confirm that the wxMSW build of the eCos Configuration Tool does
depend on Cygwin.

May I again mention my autoconf - automake - wxWidgets 2.6 work here ? :
http://sourceware.org/ml/ecos-patches/2006-06/msg00048.html

I there a chance for inclusion ?

Thanks,

Apologies, I've been away and will try and sort the assignment out this
