Created attachment 190922 [details] Proposed changes The attached changeset adds the make/configuration rules necessary to build the TCF agent sources as part of a Wind River component. Includes the "do_install.sh" script used to install a checked-out source tree as a component, which is useful for developing with TCF but may not be desirable in the upstream repository. This also adds a method for registering arbitrary services with the VxWorks agent, similar to the plugin capability offered on other platforms. The first problem is that the external service lacks a way of getting a handle to the agent's Protocol object. Adding the tcf_init_service() routine solves this, but there may be other (concurrency, etc.) issues we will need to tackle as well.

Most of the files in the patch appears to be very specific for Wind River VxWorks build system. Is there a good reason to put them into the agent source directory? In fact, one of file names in the patch points somewhere outside TCF repository: .../osconfig/vxworks/cdf/01comp_tcfagent.cdf I think theses files don't belong to TCF repository and need to be kept somewhere else.
I believe we agreed that VxWorks specific file should not be kept in the TCF repository. The only other change in the patches is changing event_thread variable from static to extern. I suggest creating a separate Bugzilla for that. Also, changing the variable to be extern is rather dirty approach, we need to consider something more elegant. Changing status to NOT_ECLIPSE.

Agreed, the attached changes around the event_thread were just meant to illustrate the problem.
