RE: [ECOS] Host Tools Build Problem - Fedora 8

[Jay Foster <jay at systech dot com>]

The existing tools are built agains TCL/TK 8.3 which are not on the new
system.
I tried --host=i686-linux-gnu, and it now no longer complains about the
x86_64 stuff.  But as I suspected, it now can't find the TCL/TK
(tclConfig.sh/tkConfig.sh).  Did these files get removed in version 8.4?

I don't have an x86_64 system installed here (I run simple x86 kernel
on my AMD/64 boxes), so I can't test this.

Is there something in particular you need to [re]build the host tools for?
