About OpenOCD..
« on: October 22, 2009, 04:33:46 pm »

Hello there!

Through some searches, I ended up guessing the use of MCU plugin (thanks to martind) is a must for remote debugging. The fact is that I can't find the last plugin cbmcu that should be available on this link:
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/cbmcu/

I've only found those sources at http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/cbmcu/trunk/cbplugin/. are they ok ?

I have some questions, is this project still maintained and if so, do you guys have a link for the latest plugin release ?
Anayway, the C::B wiki doesn't seem to talk about it.. am I wrong ??  :shock:

thanks a lot :)

Ok.. I retrieved C::B sources and got the file from SVN for openOCD.
I managed to compile everything (after getting wxScintilla which was not part of wxWidget sources, apparently..) except that it won't link the dynamic lib (the resulting plugin..)

[100.0%] Linking dynamic library: H:\_program files\CodeBlocks\src\devel\mcumgr.dll
ld.exe: unrecognized option '-Wl,--out-implib=H:/_program files/CodeBlocks/src/devel/libmcumgr.a'
ld.exe: use the --help option for usage information
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 8 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

..it is said that some options are not recognized. I'm using the MingGCC linker (ld.exe)..

any idea ?

thanks :)

Ok.. I got farther..
I successfully build C::B sources and so are the openOCD DLLs..
I'm close to get this think to work but I'm getting this message when I try to launch my freshly built C::B:

Quote
Cannot find ressources...
Code::Blocks was configured to be installed in '......... tralalal'.
Please use the command-line switch '--prefix' or set.. etc

Any clue would be greatly appreciated ;)

Thanks

Don't forget to run the update script. See the WiKi for information on the build process for Unix/Linux (applies to you, too most likely)
Compiler logging: Settings->Compiler & Debugger->tab "Other"->Compiler logging="Full command line"

thanks for the reply.
Sure, I already run the update batch file and got the files copied to the /output dir and tried to launch from that directory..
I'll glance at wiki ;)

that won't work. The update script creates a version of C::B that needs to be "make install"'ed afterwards. Otherwise the launch script does not have the correct path's set. Alternatively you can adopt the launch script and do exactly what C::B pops up: Export an envvar to the path where your C::B shared (data) folder is.

Adopt e.g. this script to your needs (path's):
Code
#!/bin/sh
APP_DIR=/home/mortenmacfly/bin/codeblocks_svn
CODEBLOCKS_DATA_DIR=/home/mortenmacfly/bin/codeblocks_svn
export CODEBLOCKS_DATA_DIR
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$APP_DIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$APP_DIR/codeblocks $@
Compiler logging: Settings->Compiler & Debugger->tab "Other"->Compiler logging="Full command line"

Hi!

Is this script supposed to be run under GNU/Linux ? I can see the #!/bin/sh for a linux shell. If so, I'm running WinXP and even under a Cygwin terminal I can't get the job done.
I modify the update.bat script to point to a valid zip exe (not the cygwin one..) but nothing much..
Like this guy, http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=10764.0%3Bprev_next=next, setting CODEBLOCKS_DATA_DIR doesn't help..

Unlike this one, http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=10677.0%3Bprev_next=next who did manage to run C::B after an update.bat run.
I'm starting to feel a bit dumb..  :shock:
I think I gonna do the whole process since the beginning..

Ok.. this time, everything went fine, except that I can't see any MCU tab.. now it's an openOCD issue :)

Hi PaowZ,

I got exactly the same error concerning ld.exe and the unrecognized option. Could you give me a clue on how you fixed this issue?
Thank you.

Hi!
I had this issue when I tried to compile with a cross-compiler. Make sure your "GNU GCC Compiler" points to a valid x86 code compiler.
I just reset the C::B environment for a fresh install. If it doesn't help, try to remove the -Wl flag from Compiler and Debugger Settings/Other Settings/Advanced Options, choose "link object to dynamic library" in the dropdown and remove every -Wl flag..
