[Cmake] using cmake to build embedded ecos applications

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi, 
 
I thought I'd let you know what I just posted to the ecos maling list. 
ecos (http://ecos.sourceware.org), the embedded configurable operating 
system is a small real time OS distributed under the GPL license. I 
invested some time and now it is possible to use cmake for 
cross-compiling ecos applications. So here's the announcement: 
 
Are you also tired of having to write Makefiles for ecos ? Do you also 
think manually writing Makefiles sucks ? Are you also scared of the GNU 
autotools and friends ? 
Then maybe I'll have something for you. I'd like to introduce a cmake  
(http://www.cmake.org )-based build system for ecos, which frees you from 
the burden of writing Makefiles:  
http://www.neundorf.net/cmake/using_ecos_with_cmake.php 
There you'll find a first description and a tarball containing two 
example projects:  
http://www.neundorf.net/cmake/using_ecos_with_cmake.tar.bz2 
(or for direct browsing: http://www.neundorf.net/cmake/firmware ) 
 
It offers the following features: 
-automatic Makefile creation 
-easy syntax 
-handles ecos dependancies 
-works both under Linux and Windows/cygwin 
-build ecos applications for multiple targets (synth, arm-elf, powerpc) 
-build ecos applications in various variants, e.g. a debug and a release  
version  
-automatically create the ELF file, the binary and the srec file 
 
Let me know if you like it, if you have suggestions, problems, etc. 
 
Bye 
Alex
