Patch selection for porting configtool to wxwidgets2.6

Patch selection for porting configtool to wxwidgets2.6

[Emmet Hikory]

eCos Maintainers,
    I am working on a project to remove all remaining dependencies on
wxwindows 2.4 from Ubuntu.  Looking through the eCos mailing lists, I
have encountered two candidate patches that would migrate the
configtool to wxwidgets2.6, as follows:

1)  http://www.xylanta.com/Content/Downloads/eCos/ct_wx260.zip from
Andy Jackson
2)  http://www.mr.inf.tu-dresden.de/eCos/ct060628.patch.gz from Lars Poeschel

    Neither appears to have been committed to CVS, and I wondered if
there were any specific problems with either patch implementation, and
also which might be a better starting point when applying a patch for
use in Ubuntu.

    Thank you for your advice.

Andy Jackson's patch provides the migration of the configtool to
wxWindows 2.6.x. Lars Poeschel's patch adds autoconfigury which is not
necessarily desirable if you want to develop using an IDE such as
Eclipse/CDT.

I have been experimenting with Andy Jackson's patch - it doesn't work
under Linux (FC5) unmodified. I suggest you start with Andy Jackson's
patch and modify as necessary.

Please keep in touch with your progress...

    Thanks a lot for the advice.  I'll start from there, and prepare a
patch.  I'm working from the released ecos-2.0.i386linux.tar.bz2, but
I have a local snapshot of CVS, and will try to make patches for each.
 I'm not sure if they'll compile for FC5, but at least for linux.

eCos 2.0 is now very old and we advise all developers to work from CVS
pending the next formal release.
