Eclipse build failure at copying template files

Hi,

Using the MinGW setup I can build the files without a problem. I am now trying to move over to Eclipse (Juno) using the Eclipse setup instructions in the Articles section

The files build, howevever I get the following file not found error during the process:

File not found - *.[hc]
C:\MinGW\bin\xgettext.exe: no input file given

Advice will be appreciated, seems like a path error, however I cannot find what.


Full verbose makefile output:

Thanks PB, will use this line to investigate further today, also for the original Eclipse write-up.

it is weird that other files could be compiled but can not execute other script.
can you post your eclipse c/c++ build environment?

Hi PB

The print statement confirmed it is in the correct eclipse working directory:

C:\Users\user\workspace\Devo8\src
File not found - *.[hc]
C:\MinGW\bin\xgettext.exe: no input file given
Try `C:\MinGW\bin\xgettext.exe --help' for more information.

Hi xCometz

Thanks for the assistance. I am old hand at embedded systems, but new to Eclipse and the open source environments, so please excuse my ignorance. I have exported the c/c++ config, but I am sure you are looking for something else?

Hi Guys

I am at a complete loss now. Comparing the Deviation directories after a clean build under MiSys and Eclipse respectivly, I get the Eclipse build to fail on the Language strings extractions:

+ Compiling 'config/model.c'
+ Compiling 'config/tx.c'
Found 12 ranges
Found 16 ranges
Found 1 ranges
+ Copying template files
File not found - *.[hc]

RAM: 0x20000000 - 0x200060e0 = 24.22kB


Comparing the directories and file contents afterwards, the language source files under the Eclipse build (Devo 8 and Devo10) are now very short files, content of German file listed below, other are similar short (see attachment):

Deutsch
:4Ch w/ Dual-Rates
4K mit DR
:6Ch Airplane
6-Kanal Flugzeug
:6Ch Helicopter
6-Kanal Heli
:Simple 4 Channel

Any ideas please?

UPDATE

I still don't know what was the reason that only this one line in the PERL script failed, with the rest of the build process seeming to work. However, I have wiped everything and started a fresh with a full environment install - and know it works.

Thanks for everyone's help and especially to xCometz

Deon.
