Hi Sergei
I think there are some misunderstandings in our email exchange and hence I
probably should explain a little bit more what I did:

a) I downloaded (using cvs) ecos into an fresh empty folder. Except for
the build-tools used (which are however not in ecos-3.0 but elsewhere) my
"current" ecos has nothing to do with the previous "ecos-3.0". But never
the less, I get the above errors during the build process.

b) Going back to ecos-3.0 would not solve my problem, because I
understood, version 3.0 remains untouched and does not include the new
feature (of lwip) I need.

c) the ecos-3.0 I have is ok - see a) and b). No need to grab it again
   from the net.

d) I conclude from your remark about editing ecos.db, that one can no
longer update ecos using cvs, if one has made any changes - e. g. added a
package. Even if one did this using configtool and feeding in the new
stuff packed in an epk-file. Correct?

Thank you for your help and best regards - Robert

PS: With respect to the above build error: I just realize, that ecos-3.0  
does not include a strnlen.cxx file. This probably indicates some kind of  
a configuration problem for this file in the newer "current" version. May  
be only for some types of systems? I am using an at91sam7x512-based board  
(arm). From looking at strnlen.cxx I get no clue what the problem could  
be. Please help.
