Tipsheet for Nov 18
-------------------------------------
Question: Why does my Illuminator version say 3.4.1 ? I thought we are on release 5.1 now.
Answer: You are running the Tools 1.1 release of Illuminator. Prior to OSE 5.1, the Illuminator product was bundled with the OSE distribution. Starting in 5.1 however the Illuminator is shipped separately with the Tools distribution. At some point the decision was made to divert Illuminator into its own stream, which is why it now has a different number.
Problem: Unable to build rtose image in Eclipse
Symptom:
"make: makefile: line xx: Error -- Expecting macro or rule defn, found neither"
Solution:
The cryptic error really means your system is confused about which cygwin installation is needed here. Since you need $OSE_ROOT/cygwin/bin from OSE to be used here, put that in your PATH environment variable first. Do this is both /cygwin.bat and also Windows System settings, just to be sure it's the same for both.
Problem: Unable to debug rtose.exe for OSE 5.1 soft kernel in Eclipse
Symptom:
Trying to debug this as a local C/C++ application, during setting up the debug configuration Eclipse says that rtose.exe is not a valid image. You may also see that it Eclipse does not allow you to select this as the image in the debug configuration.
Solution:
Make sure one or more of the correct binary parser checkbox is selected (project->properties->c/c++make project->binary parser) "PE Windows Parser" and/or "Cygwin PEParser" are appropriate for most users. This has to be correct to make Eclipse CDT recognize the files as executable. If it does the file will show up in the "Binaries" folder under the project.
