Re: Problem installing toolchain under Cygwin/Windows

There are a few small problems int the toolchain installation running
the ecos-install.tcl script as indicated in
http://ecos.sourceware.org/getstart.html.

The original problem is that the hard links in
the ecoscentric-gnutools-arm-elf-1.4-2.cygwin.tar.bz2 cannot be
untarred/reproduced when used under Cygwin / WindowsXP.

This problem seems to be somewhat unique to my PC. I've seen the same tarfile successfully expanded on another PC using the same version of Cygwin tar.

If I use the ln command directly it succeeds.

Any ideas what might be the problem?
I see that this is an old issue mentioned in
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2004-01/msg00853.html

 By default the script
doesn't indicate what the problem is but does when verbose output is
enabled.  The script is failing to properly capture the contents of
stderr to report them after the problem occurs (why not just leave
stderr unredirected?).

I don't know if this is also specific to me or is a real issue because that execution path doesn't get tested.

 This problem
also prevents the environment setup files from being produced.
