+> developers will generally use the graphical
+ Configuration Tool for configuring an <SPAN
+CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
+>eCos</SPAN
+> system and building
+ the target library. However, some user prefer to use command
+ line tools. These command line tools can also be used for batch
+ operations on all platforms, for example as part of a nightly
+ rebuild and testing procedure.
+ </P
+><P
+>In the current release of the system the command line tools
+ do not provide exactly the same functionality as the graphical
+ tool. Most importantly, there is no facility to resolve
+ configuration conflicts interactively.</P
+><P
+>The <SPAN
+CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
+>eCos</SPAN
+> configuration system, both graphical and command
+ line tools, are under constant development and enhancement.
+ Developers should note that the procedures described may change
+ considerably in future releases. </P

+><P
+>When building <SPAN
+CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
+>eCos</SPAN
+> there are three main directory trees to
+ consider: the source tree, the build tree, and the install
+ tree.</P
+><P
+>The source tree, also known as the component repository,
+ is read-only. It is possible to use a single component
+ repository for any number of different configurations, and
+ it is also possible to share a component repository between
+ multiple users by putting it on a network drive.</P
+><P
+>The build tree contains everything that is specific to a
+ particular configuration, including header and other files
+ that contain configuration data, and the object files that
+ result from compiling the system sources for this
+ configuration. </P
+><P
+>The install tree is usually located in the <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>install</TT
+> subdirectory
+of the build tree. Once an <SPAN
+CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
+>eCos</SPAN
+> system has been built, the install
+tree contains all the files needed for application development including
+the header files and the target library. By making copies of the
+install tree after a build it is possible to separate application
+development and system configuration, which may be desirable for
+some organizations. </P
