Can't run the CodeLite built at my local machine

Post by stoneyrh »

I have checked out the latest source codes from SVN, and spent two nights long on building on my local machine, which is WinXP SP2. But unforturnately, when I run the CodeLite.exe, it ends with a fatal error. I though it would be lack of configuration files, then I copied all files along with their hierarchy from my local CodeLite installation directory(C:\Program Files\CodeLite) to the Runtime directory, but the same result.

Anyone could give me some hints?
Thanks

Hi,

This usually because of changes in interfaces of the plugin and the released version. When you run CodeLite.exe, it searches the configuration files/plugins/debuggers by reading the registry value "Installpath" of CodeLite, to force it to run from the local working directory, run it like this:

Code: Select all

CodeLite -b . <optional files list goes here>

You figured it right, but you probably missed some file, do this:

from trunk/Runtime/ directory run the script name update.bat

also, remove: C:\Program Files\CodeLite\config\codelite.xml and C:\Program Files\CodeLite\config\codelite.layout

Yes, I did what you said. And after that, even I run it directly without any argument, it works fine too. It seems that the previous fatal error most probably relates to configuration file and GDB. Because I did not have GDB installed before, and now when I get it ready, things go well.
Thanks a lot.
