[ECOS] Trying to build ecosconfig (again).

[ECOS] Trying to build ecosconfig (again).

[Grant Edwards]

Once again, I need to build ecosconfig.  Once again, it's a
struggle.

I create an empty directory and do 

  "configure path/to/host/configure"

That seems to go OK, but then the subsequent "make" sprays
warnings for a couple minutes and then fails like this:

c++ -pipe -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-qual -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Woverloaded-virtual -O0   -o ecosconfig  ecosconfig.o cdl_exec.o build.o flags.o  -lcdl -lcyginfra -L/usr/lib -ltcl8.4  -L/home/grante/ecos/build/libcdl -L/home/grante/ecos/build/infra
c++: ecosconfig.o: No such file or directory
c++: cdl_exec.o: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [ecosconfig] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory /home/grante/ecos/build/tools/configtool/standalone/common'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory /home/grante/ecos/build/tools/configtool/standalone/common'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1



Sure enough, neither ecosconfig.o nor cdl_exec.o are anywhere
to be found in the build tree.  Neither can I find any thing in
the output from the make that indicates an attempt to build
either one of them.

IIRC, this is with a CVS snapshot from May 2007.

Ah ha.  There were ecosconfig.o and cdl_exe.o files in the
source tree.  Apparently the dependancies in the makefile are
satisfied by object files that are in places the linker
commands don't look for them.

Deleting all of the .o files from the source tree allowed the
build to complete.

It would be really nice if a statically linked ecosconfig was
built as well.  That way one could archive a set of tools that
wouldn't break when they needed to be used on a machine with a
different version of libtcl (or no libtcl at all).

Not sure if I know enough autoconf spells to do that...

Rats.  I hacked up the makefile to also build a statically
linked ecosconfig, but my system (Gentoo) doesn't _have_ a
static version of libtcl.

I get lots of warnings, mostly about flags which are no longer valid,
but i do get an image. I tried with Debian unstable, and Ubuntu Feisty
Fawn.

What distribution are you using?
