I am new to using coverity and this might not be a very challenging question, but I would appreciate it greatly if someone could guide me through the process of setting up the .
I first ran the following command:
cov-configure --compiler /usr/bin/gcc --comptype gcc
This created a few files pertaining to the above command in my /config directory.
The real problem occurs when I run the cov-install-gui command to setup the defect manager and the database, I am not sure what to input for the --datadir option. When I passed in an empty directory (as a mere attempt), it complains saying that coverity_db does not exist within the empty directory.
Its not clear to me as to where I can find the coverity_db directory or how to install it?
I feel like I am missing something from the cov-configure command, but I am not sure.
Also I am using, Linux CentOS 5.4 and Coverity prevent 4.5
Thanks in advance
You are using an old and no longer supported version of Coverity Prevent (4.5 or older) since you are referencing the Defect Manager.
Current version is 6.0 so you should not be using the version that you are.
The answer to your question is that data directory is any directory that will be used to write the results and GUI files, so you can just specify any file path that doesn't already exist and it will create the directory and the files it needs in that directory.

I installed msys2, and then integrated the installation of Git-For-Windows within that msys2 environment, by applying this simple procedure.
After doing so, I'm getting this error when I double-click the msys2 desktop icon:
bash: create-shortcut.exe: command not found
bash: create-shortcut.exe: command not found
jdoe#msys2$
I can see where the above error originates :
The aforementioned procedure created this new script - /etc/profile.d/git-sdk.sh - which attempts to run the create-shortcut.exe command; but (like the script) I can't find where create-shortcut.exe is.
Does anyone know where that create-shortcut.exe comes from (MSYS2, MS-WINDOWS), or where it might be located? Or perhaps even know what the fix for this is? =:)
Thank you in advance.
Thank you to the commenters.
It's a bug, either because the referenced command wasn't included in the package, or because the command is not in the script's PATH. I'll file an issue in the GitHub project for it.
Thank you particularly to #HolyBlackCat for pointing out that the procedure wasn't necessary since git(1) is already available in MSYS2s default repositories. (I'm new to MSYS2 because I was provided a Windows environment instead of Linux). So, I ended up backing out the procedure and installing the native repository version instead, which works well.
However, if you did want to keep the version provided by the procedure -- because it does, indeed, offer more than just the git(1) command (e.g., it has an SDK too) -- then you can simply locate and safely comment-out the offending section in the /etc/profile.d/git-sdk.sh RC script, whose only purpose is to create a Windows desktop icon. Hopefully this helps others.
So I'm following the install instructions for Bazel 2.0, and basically it seems like all I have to do is download the ".exe" file, add it to the path, and then I can use it from windows powershell (probably bash too, although I haven't tried). What I want to know is - does the ".exe" file do any manipulation of my system (outside of the obvious compiling work) or download anything else under the hood? I ask because I want to try it out while working on a restricted computer system, as I'm sure some of you have encountered before.
It will extract itself into the location where it also (unless configured otherwise) keeps its build output. By default this would be under current user's home directory. The location can be changed with --output_user_root parameter or TEST_TMPDIR environmental variable. You can check out the docs for more detailed description.
Adding to Ondrej K.'s answer:
Yes, you just download the .exe and add it to your PATH. Do not run it from Bash though, because it's broken. (I'm linking to the documentation at master as of 2020-02-28 and as of 2.1.0 being the most recent version. The current master will become the release doc for 2.2.0.)
Yes, Bazel will download stuff. This includes tools for the languages you build (e.g. Java), and also external dependencies of the project.
Yes, Bazel will write to disk even if you just run it once: as Ondrej K. wrote, it will extract itself to a directory.
Do not set TEST_TMPDIR to tell Bazel where to run. Setting this envvar will make Bazel believe it's running inside a test, and it will significantly reduce its resource use and change its behavior in subtle ways you probably don't want. (If you want to limit its resource use, you can do so with several flags, see --jobs and --local_ram_resources, --local_cpu_resources.)
When I run svnversion from the command line, I see version "3978" which is correct.
However, when I run this in a build script in Xcode 4.6.3 from the same directory I see "exported".
Why is this and how can I resolve this?
(My client and server are on SVN 1.7. According to the redbook, this can happen when svnversion is invoked on a directory that is not a working copy but this perhaps doesn't seem to be the case here.)
Digging into Xcode 4.6.3's package contents, in Contents/Developer/usr/bin the version of svn bundled with Xcode is 1.6.18, while the system version is 1.7.10. This seems to explain the mismatch.
Symlinking to /opt/local/bin/svn* in Contents/Developer/usr/bin resolved this for me.
I am taking a computer graphics course at my university. I am unable to create 3D graphics using Java since I do not have it properly installed. I downloaded the Java 3D API from Oracle. There is no installer included. Just the raw files j3dcore.jar, j3dutils.jar, and vecmath.jar as well as a few read me files. One of the read me files does contain a link that has instructions for the install. It says I must "Unzip Java 3D 1.5.1 into the "jre" directory of your JDK." Where is my JDK? I found my Java folder System > Library> Java > Extension and moved the files there because I read some other things online. I still get this error message in Eclipse when coding: "Access restriction: the method [whatever] from the type [whatever] is not accessible due to restriction on required library /System/Library/Java/Extensions/j3dutils.jar." But I have this file exactly where it says it should be.
Java 3d version 1.3 is pre-installed in Mac OS X. You shouldn't need to install anything. Perhaps try put things back the way they were?
If you want to upgrade to version Java 3D 1.5, you can download this installer: http://create.ife.no/vr/tools/j3d/java3d_1_5_2-macosx.pkg.zip
Firstly i would make sure that all those files have the correct permissions on them... based on the "Access restriction" error, it seems like the problem might have to do with that. From the looks of it, you have them installed in the right place (thats where mine is installed anyway)
this is what mine looks like:
Open a terminal, navigate to the directory you moved the jars to, and use the command:
chmod +x *.jar
+x is a file permission that allows execution of files as programs; files without this permission set will throw errors if you attempt to execute them. Java is technically a bytecode interpreter and jar files are interpreted rather than run, but it's possible that java checks the file permissions manually before loading classes from jars, in which case it would logically fail with an error similar to that which you're reporting.
If you are using eclipse then you can just download the 3d zip file. Move the jars into your project and right click on them. Select add build path. There should be 3 new jars in the referenced libraries.
I've successfully installed native Oracle on 10.6, and can successfully compile and execute the example Pro*C code using the 'oracle' account (i.e. the same OS user that the software was installed under). That was a fun job. It even works with clang.
However, in our normal development environment, the source, build scripts, make files, etc, are owned by a different Unix group and user - with access to a restricted set of Oracle tools (sqlplus, exp, proc, etc).
Trying to use sqlplus from the oracle install gave the (known problem)
dyld: Library not loaded: /b/227/sqlplus/lib/libsqlplus.dylib
This is despite DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH definitely being set correctly. Someone who had done more investigation thought that somewhere along the line the library path was being unset before the process started.
I gave up and just went with using the instantclient instead.
Unfortunately, the instantclient SDK is OCCI only - it doesn't include the pro*c compiler.
So I am back to trying to get the 'dev' user to be able to execute 'proc' in the oracle bin directory. I've already solved one dylib issue (using a symbolic link), and various file permission issues (need to grant -r to files in the /precomp directory hierarchy).
Now I'm getting a core dump (which doesn't occur when running under the oracle user)
System default option values taken from:
/Users/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/precomp/admin/pcscfg.cfg
INTERNAL ERROR: Failed assertion [PGE Code=90105]
Segmentation fault
Any suggestions? Has anyone actually successfully done this?
The first problem I had was solved by granting read access to the /precomp directory and sub-directories under the oracle install (the question was then edited for my next problem).
By default the proc compiler writes into the directory where the source code file exists, not local. Simple fix - specify the target filename by path. This successfully produced the .c file.
Getting this to compile is a case of giving access to, and specifying, the right libraries to link in (the instantclient 64 bit ones will work here).
Finally, hack the example make into shape.
