Why won't codeblocks use my project options? - compilation

I did what's needed, right click on the project name, click build options...
Select append target options to project options (I also tried use project options only).
Thing is, I have a define and some compiler flags set but when it compiles it doesn't show them on the command line.
mingw32-g++.exe -L"C:\Documents and Settings\Zirgon\Bureau\GSERVER\projects\miniupnpc" -o ..\..\bin\gserver2.exe obj\Release\adler32.o obj\Release\blocksort.o obj\Release\bz2compress.o obj\Release\bzlib.o obj\Release\CEncryption.o obj\Release\CFileQueue.o obj\Release\CFileSystem.o obj\Release\CLog.o obj\Release\compress.o obj\Release\CPluginManager.o obj\Release\crc32.o obj\Release\crctable.o obj\Release\CSettings.o obj\Release\CSocket.o obj\Release\CString.o obj\Release\CTranslationManager.o obj\Release\CUPNP.o obj\Release\CWordFilter.o obj\Release\decompress.o obj\Release\deflate.o obj\Release\gzclose.o obj\Release\gzlib.o obj\Release\gzread.o obj\Release\gzwrite.o obj\Release\huffman.o obj\Release\infback.o obj\Release\inffast.o obj\Release\inflate.o obj\Release\inftrees.o obj\Release\IUtil.o obj\Release\main.o obj\Release\md5.o obj\Release\randtable.o obj\Release\TAccount.o obj\Release\TLevel.o obj\Release\TLevelBaddy.o obj\Release\TLevelBoardChange.o obj\Release\TLevelChest.o obj\Release\TLevelHorse.o obj\Release\TLevelItem.o obj\Release\TLevelLink.o obj\Release\TLevelSign.o obj\Release\TMap.o obj\Release\TNPC.o obj\Release\TPlayer.o obj\Release\TPlayerLogin.o obj\Release\TPlayerNC.o obj\Release\TPlayerProps.o obj\Release\TPlayerRC.o obj\Release\trees.o obj\Release\TServer.o obj\Release\TServerList.o obj\Release\TWeapon.o obj\Release\uncompr.o obj\Release\zutil.o -lws2_32 -lIphlpapi
There should be -O3, -g and -DNO_BOOST in there.

You have most likely messed up your project settings. Try re-creating the project file but this time do not adjust the way the options are handled. If it still messes up then re-install codeblocks!
By default you get Release and Debug. Make sure the command line you are checking is the correct one. Are you setting the options on release and then going for a debug build?

Vitis PetaLinux build cant fetch required files while building an application project

I want to build a PetaLinux Image for my Ultra96v2.
I followed this guide up until building my application project in Vitis. It looks promising but then while building the application project for my custom platform, Vitis throws this error:

18:08:36 Build Finished (took 7s.643ms)
It specifically shows me, that there is a comma in the path where it searches for the file. The files are available
at the "normal" location, without the "atf,", "dtb,", etc
at the "weird" location. I created the path so the requested path exists for every file that throws an error message, like
/media/user/6b04b610-ff80-4702-a575-b0b1a78fbafb/dpu_pkg/dpu_appl_system/Debug/sd_card_temp/boot.bif". ... emo/sw/atf,dpu_demo/boot/bl31.elf
I created the path with the weird artefact "arf,dpu_demo", with the komma in the path, but still it wont work. Is this some kind of problem with Vitis, like some env variables not set correctly, or is the building mechanism just acting weird? I cant resolve this issue, because I am not able to change the paths it is supposed to look for the files. This hinders me in advancing my project. I work on Ubuntu 20.04.
Can anyone help me out here, please? I would really appreciate it!
I asked this question in the Xilinx Community, too, but unfortunately there was no resonance at all.
Thank you so much in advance!
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE ANSWER FOR ACTUAL SOLUTION
I think I got it now, though I did not verify whether the image actually works on my Ultra96v2, yet.
I noticed, that the weird path with commata is inside of the boot.bif and system.bif.
So the first time I tried to build it, the bif wasnt there, but got created (I assume). The bif was ready then but only had a weird path inside, so I took the makefile (you can find it in debug/sd_card), copied it, and just commented out the line GENERATE_BIF_XSCT_CMD = ${GENERATE_BIF} -xpfm ${XPFM_PATH} -domains ${DOMAINS} -bifpath ${BIF_PATH}.
Then I edited the boot.bif and system.bif and changed the atf,boot, uboot,boot, and dts,boot to just boot, so the BootGen wouldnt look into the directories with the commata anymore, but only the boot-directory which was specified.
Once that was set up, I executed the edited makefile in my console, by going into the sd_card-directory and executing the following command:
make -f <your_edited_makefile>
This means, that you cant press "build" in Vitis, it wont work. You build the content on your own and wont get a green check mark beside the project! Then the sd_card-directory was populated with (I assume) all necessary data to boot the Ultra96v2 from SD card. This was the content:
boot.scr
BOOT.BIN
dpu_appl.elf (your application project name, I guess)
README.txt
system.dtb
The underlying issue seem to have been that the ::scw::generate_bif created a path to look after, which didnt exist. Really weird issue, in my opinion.
UPDATE:
I just made some changes to the PetaLinux config with the petalinux-config command and rebuilt everything. Once I go to the Vitis part, I changed the system.bif within Vitis itself, and the project compiled successfully, also populating the sd_card directory, as it seems.
UPDATE 2:
Everything failed, so I tried to get to the *.bif of the Application System project. I opened it (linux.bif) and edited the "atf,", "dtb," and "uboot," out of it. Since this is only created once and references by the following files, this fixed my issue and the build was completed successfully in Vitis. So just ignore my originial answer and update.
I hope this is working and hope it will help some of you.

Xcode warning is referring to a path that doesn't exist

I have warning on xcode that reads, warning: /Users/blair/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/214RBQA6K22QP/Foundation-A3SOD99KJ0S9.pcm: No such file or directory note: while processing /Users/blair/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/214RBQA6K22QP/Foundation-A3SOD99KJ0S9.pcm
I have about 20 warnings like this that are almost identical. The weird thing is that my machine has no user "blair".
Can anyone please help me figure out whats going on here?
I solved this by setting the "debug" key of the "Debug Information Format" in build settings for the Target, to "Dwarf"
Firebase Crashlytic directs you to set both "debug" & "release" to "DWARF with dSYM file", however i think you have to make a decision whether you actually need it in debug

OpenDDS - Solution builds fine, examples run, but IDL exes crash

I have successfully built OpenDDS 3.13.2 from source. Here is my environment:
Windows 10
Visual Studio 2017 (re-targeted Solution to SDK 10.0.17763.0)
Tried all Configuration/Platform combinations
I successfully used the configure script from the VS command prompt, built everything by opening the generated solution in the same command prompt, and finally ran the Messenger example (publisher and subscriber), and even configured it to use RTPS successfully.
However, when I try to create my own IDL and use the tao_idl, it crashes. Here's my test (using the proper environment from setenv.cmd):
> tao_idl (no args)
IDL: No input files
Second test:
> tao_idl Test.idl (crashes)
I get no error message, and am unable to locate logs or any indication of what went wrong. The same thing happens when I used opendds_idl.
What is the best approach to debug this, and/or are there pre-built binaries available for the IDL compiler(s) (both TAO and OpenDDS)?
After about a day of troubleshooting, I have determined a solution. Despite being able to call tao_idl and opendds_idl yourself, you should basically never do it. There are a good amount of command-line arguments needed to get both to work, and if they're not present, each exe will crash without the proper reasoning why.
I will add my steps below to create a new basic two-exe pub/sub project using OpenDDS:
Create your own IDL file.
Starting with the DCPS Messenger example, modify the .mpc file, replacing Messenger.idl with your IDL file name.
Create a new file called <your project>.mwc, and add the following contents:
workspace {
// the -relative and -include cmdlines make it so this workspace
// does not have to be in the $DDS_ROOT directory tree.
// tell MPC to substitute our DDS_ROOT environment variables for relative paths
cmdline += -relative DDS_ROOT=$DDS_ROOT
// tell the projects where to find the DDS base projects (*.mpb)
cmdline += -include $DDS_ROOT/MPC/config
}
Open a new VS command-line terminal and run $DDS_ROOT/setenv.cmd, or open a regular terminal if you have those environment variables set via Windows settings.
Navigate to your project directory and call: mwc.pl -type vs2017, replacing "vs2017" as needed for your build tool/IDE.
Open up the generated solution, and retarget it as necessary for your Windows SDK version.
Build the <your project>_IDL project first. If you notice in the output window, it is invoking the tao_idl and opendds_idl commands automatically. You can view the .vcxproj files to see the full command-line arguments that were the original problem.
Modify the publisher.cpp, subscriber.cpp, and DataReaderListenerImpl.cpp files to match your new IDL. Run the example as usual and ta-da!
For completeness, the full commands for both tao_idl and opendds_idl are as follows:
> opendds_idl -Sa -St "<your file>.idl"
> tao_idl -Wb,pre_include=ace/pre.h -Wb,post_include=ace/post.h -I$(TAO_ROOT) -Sa -St -I$(DDS_ROOT) "<your file>.idl"
> tao_idl -Wb,pre_include=ace/pre.h -Wb,post_include=ace/post.h -I$(TAO_ROOT) -Sa -St -I$(DDS_ROOT) "<your file>TypeSupport.idl"

Code::Blocks debugger shows some other path which isn't included in the project

I'm trying to use code::blocks debugger. I followed this basic tutorial on how to do it. I also watched two videos on you tube. I was actually trying it on a bigger file which had its declaration & implementation in separate files (one was header file tree.h, one had its implementation tree.cpp & the last one had implementation_tree.cpp main function to check the header file) but it didn't work so I tried it on a very simple program. But now debugger shows this error

Whatever is in this line [debug]Command-line: is the address of my tree.h file which I was trying to debug earlier. But now I've removed all the breakpoints & everything related to that file from Code::Blocks & even changed that file's location but it still shows that same address in Starting debugger:. I've also rebuilt my test program after deleting everything related to it several times but I'm still getting the same error. I'm using GDB.
I'm so sorry if this question sounds very silly as I'm trying this for the first time & not being able to proceed through any tutorials or any other forum or anything else. I've also seen other related questions on stackoverflow but none of them works for me. So, please help. Thanks.
Settings -> Compiler -> Search Directories.. Delete all paths from there.

Custom debug command in Visual Studio using a Makefile project

I have a Makefile-powered project in Visual Studio 2010 (uses NAnt, in fact, but that's beside the point).
The output of the build process is a .elf file, and I have a separate, non-VStudio debugger which can be run on that .elf file to debug it.
Building works fine, but when I click the 'debug' button (little green triangle), VStudio fails with "Unable to start program 'XXX.elf'. The specified file is an unrecognized or unsupported binary format"
I'm guessing VStudio is just trying to 'run' the .elf as though it were an .exe, and failing.
What I really want VStudio to do is run "my_debugger.exe XXX.elf" when I press the debug button.
I have tried adding a file association with .elf=>my_debugger.exe
I have updated PATHEXT appropriately as well, and run VStudio under those changes.
Still no luck.
Isn't there somewhere in VStudio where you can specify a custom debug command? I thought there was, but can't find it.
I could just have the build process output a .bat file or something I guess, but this seems silly.
As Jim mentioned you can specify which app to start on run in the project settings (Command field). If you place a debugger there you can pass down your executable as an argument to the debugger being launched (Command Arguments field). This way you can launch the debugger which in turn will launch your executable if the debugger expects any commandline arguments.
MinGW on Windows example:
Command: gdb.exe; Command Arguments: Path\ToMyApp\whatever.exe
will start gdb.exe, gdb.exe will open whatever.exe, parse the debug info and wait for debug instructions.
Command: msys.exe; Command Arguments: gdb.exe Path\ToMyApp\whatever.exe
will start msys.exe, msys.exe will execute "gdb.exe Path\ToMyApp\whatever.exe"
Look at the project properties. Do you have a Debug tab which has a Start Action section giving three choices? Those choices would be: ( ) Start project, (x) Start external program: ... ( ) Start browser with URL.
You can also set the command line arguments and working directory.
