RE: [ECOS] Trouble with eCos Config Tool

["Ray Duran" <Ray dot Duran at FutureElectronics dot com>]

Thanks for your reply Tom.

I was able to download the same file as you: "configtool-060710.exe"
from
http://www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/configtool.shtml

However, following the rest of the instructions on building wxwidget( in
order to ultimately rebuild eCos config) I am having a problem with.
I see some strange make errors. In fact they are the same errors found
by another:
http://sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2006-06/msg00061.html There was no
posted reply to this e-mail.

How where you able to rebuild the eCos config tool?

Thanks,

-Ray

Ray,

I too have recently started with eCos.  I tried running configtool on 
cygwin but it did not work.  Like you, I looked into it and found that 
this is apparently a problem with newer versions of cygwin.

In the end, I found the page that you referenced, and downloaded the 
updated tool on this page.  I think this is called 
"configtool-060710.exe".  This works for me.
http://www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/configtool.shtml

I take it that, though the above web page says that configtool is a 
wxWidgets app, it is only partially so and still relies on unix calls 
for which it needs cygwin.

Tom.
