> Hello world !
>
> Well, until today I was working under Linux Synthetic Target. I had no
> problem with my application which valid all my tests.
> Now, I must pass under PowerPC simulator.
>
> As I'm under a new computer, I did a new eCos installation following your
> doc "Downloading and Installing" (as the first time...).
> So : sh ecos-install.tcl /opt/ppc-ecos i386-elf powerpc-eabi
> cd /opt/ppc-ecos
> Then : tar -C /root/ppc-ecos -xf ecos-2.0b1/tools/bin/platforms.tar
> export PATH=/opt/ppc-ecos/ecos-2.0b1/tools/bin:$PATH
>
> Tell me if I did an error until here.
>
> I tried then two things.
>
> First one : to use, as before, the configtool.
> Second one : to use a manual configuration with ecosconfig.
>
> I have some problemes this two way.

> Under the configtool, I did as usual "New" then "Build -> Templates ->
> Hardware = PowerPC Sim & Template = Default"
> Then I set "Build -> Repository = /opt/ppc-ecos"
>
> My "Tools -> Build tools = /usr/bin" and "Tools -> User tools = /bin" are
> the same as before.

> When I tried to build the library, configtool told me it couldn't find the
> i386-elf-gcc command...
> Why it didn't find it ? And shouldn't it be powerpc-eabi-gcc instead of
> i386-elf-gcc ...

> Please explain me with a lot of details if you can; I'm a beginner as you
> can see...

> I tried to use the ecosconfig to modify manually the ecos config.
> When I try to do :
> cd /opt/ppc-ecos/
> mkdir ecos-work
> cd ecos-work
> ecosconfig tree or ecosconfig list or ecosconfig new psim ...
> Ecosconfig answer me each time : "Couldn't find ecos.db ... Invalide
> packages database."
> (Andrew : remember I already had this problem before and you told me I had
> a configuration problem. But how to solve it?)
> Do I miss a step (it might be the case...) ? Must I install another thing

> I know I certainly stupid but by answering me maybe you will help other
> beginner. In all case it would help me a lot and for this I thanks you.
