Check out chapter 12 of Massa's eCos book (freely
available)

http://www.informit.com/content/downloads/perens/0130354732.pdf

Also, you should consider updating your code base.

You should definitely get more up to date sources then.  Try downloading
from CVS:

 now i have the proper source. can u tell me how to set it all up for my requirement. i should be able to compile a version of ecos for i386. i have a ebook from anthony j massa about ecos. but its windows oreinted whereas my work is with linux. theres nothing mentioned in that book about configuring the whole package using configure script in the main folder. i tried like this

in the main folder

mkdir build; cd build
../configure --target=i386 --prefix=/opt/ecos-i386

when i try make i get the following error

no rule to make all

thanks for your replies

What do you have in your top level?

You should have:

COPYING    Makefile.am  acinclude.m4  configure*    eCos.hhc   host/
CVS/       Makefile.in  aclocal.m4    configure.in  eCos.hhp   images/
ChangeLog  README.host  acsupport/    doc/          examples/  packages/

It is common for people to not check out acsupport and host. Do you
have these?

host is critical. That contains the actual host tools like ecosconfig.
You need the check this directory out of CVS.

Just do the configure command as you did last time. There is more
documentation about building the host tools in README.host.
