Could you be a bit more specific? We know that the autodetection does not always work. As it says in README.host on some systems its necassary to pass something like --with-tcl=/usr/ -with-tcl-version=8.4 to get it to build. I need this for my Debain system. However once this is done ecosconfig compiles without problems. I also remember somebody else is using FreeBSD for the host. Maybe there is some useful information in the email archives? Also, a quick google found me: http://www.freshports.org/devel/ecos-tools/ It looks rather old, but not much has changed in the config tools lately.
