[ECOS] Rebuilding using ecosconfig

[Robert Cragie]

I have just started 
to use eCos and I am having some problems using ecosconfig. I am running on 
Redhat 6.1 (with 2.2.16 kernel)
 
I am building the 
cygmon package for my own target which I have defined. I'm pretty sure I have 
updated all the .cdl files correctly - all the packages, targets and components 
all show up using the config tool. I do:
 
$ ecosconfig new 
mytarget cygmon
$ ecosconfig 
tree
$ 
make
 
This works fine. 
However, if I update either the ecos.ecc file, or any of the sources in the 
repository, the output from make seems to show them being rebuilt (I haven't 
studied it carefully), but the image files do not seem to change. They do not 
seem to change even if I do a 'make clean; make' at the top The only way I seem 
to be able to rebuild properly is by deleting the whole tree except for 
ecos.ecc, touching ecos.ecc and starting again from 'ecosconfig tree'. Surely 
the build system should be able to be a bit cleverer about dependencies? Or am I 
missing something?
