[ECOS] Fwd: Cygwin instalation for eCos

[ECOS] Fwd: Cygwin instalation for eCos

[Alexander Aganichev]

Hi!

What is the right way to get working installation of Cygwin to use for
building eCos? I found myself trapped in the bug inside tcl/tk package
and it seems this bug lasts for more than 3 years. It is all started
from non-working installation script  ecos-install.tcl. Spent two days
to determine it is tcl bug, rebuilt it by myself (unfortunately, I
found only tcl 8.3 that was easy to build) and now I'm fighting with
configtool.exe. I have exactly the same symptoms as described here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2001-11/msg00008.html.

So, where is that good hidden package that works for everyone on this
list? And may be it should be noticed on the web site, so everyone
else will not trap into it? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have installed Cygwin already 4 times, not always without problems.
But I always took the latest cygwin from the web via setup.exe. See http://ecos.sourceware.org/cygwin.html
Make sure to select the needed packages.
Restart your PC after having installed cygwin.

Then download the config tool SW from  www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/configtool.shtml. I put it in:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH ; export PATH

Unzip gnutools.tgz to /cygwin/opt/ (in my case for ARM platform):
PATH=/opt/ecos/gnutools/arm-elf/bin:$PATH ; export PATH

Add the paths and also ECOS_REPOSITORY in your .bashrc.

Success,

I used the latest Cygwin. But yesterday I found very strange thing:
the same Cygwin binaries (I downloaded them once and then copied
through the CD) works perfectly on my home laptop and totally broken
on my work PC. Both running Windows XP SP2, but at home I have English
Home edition, at work it is Russian Professional 2002. And Insight
debugger also does not run at work, while runs fine at home.

Probably it's time to go to the Insight mailing list with that trouble...

Indeed strange.
We did the same (but cygwin copy from PC to laptop) without problem.

I guess so, I don't use insight

I found the root of the problem, but cannot explain it. The c:\cygwin
was a mounting point for the partition, so after I copied Cygwin to
main partition TCL started working again. Surprise, surprise!!! :-) I
cannot explain that, but it's a fact. Just in case someone will step
on this again let's document the solution here :-)
