I'm interested in trying the Yocto Eclipse plugin with my Poky based builds.
That said, I'm a true Eclipse novice :-(

Does anyone have some guidance on what packages I might need to install to
get a usable Eclipse framework on Fedora (13)? For example, the Yocto page
mentions the "standard TCF" agent to contact the target - how do I make sure
this is available and enabled?

n.b. the [web] documentation on this plugin is pretty thin. Perhaps once I
get this going, I can contribute some meat to put on these bones :-)

Thanks

I tried to follow the documentation in the Poky manual (still thin...), but
it seems I'm now stuck. I get this error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

As far as I can tell, the eclise-rse package on Fedora 13 is version 1.0.1 :-(
Also, Fedora is still on Galileo 3.5.2, not Helios 3.6.

I guess I'll try the raw install of Helios since Fedora+YUM has failed me.

Gary,

Sorry for the thin documentation about eclipse plug-in installation.

The Yocto eclipse plugin has some dependencies on other eclipse plugins:
- C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) (http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/helios if using Eclipse 3.6Helios, or http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/galileo if using Eclipse 3.5Galileo)
- Autotools support for CDT (Incubation) (http://download.eclipse.org/technology/linuxtools/update)
- Target Management (RSE) (http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/updates/3.2)

To install one of the above eclipse plugins in the IDE,
1. Go to Help > Install New Software... to open the Install dialog.
2. Click the Add... button; this will display the Add Site dialog.
3. Enter the corresponding URL in the Location: field and click "OK". This will add the corresponding update site to the list of available sites.
4. The corresponding update site should now be selected in the "Work with:" selection box. If not, you can select it from the list by clicking the down arrow and locating its entry. You can simply collapse the entry for this site to view content available for installation.
5. Check the corresponding box and click Next button, following the wizard to install the plug-in.

Best Regards,
Lianhao

Thanks, I installed Helios directly from the Eclipse site and that's
working better now. I also installed the components you mention above.

When I try to configure Yocto, I'm trying to use the Poky tree method
but it doesn't like my tree :-( I pointed it to my build directory
(the one which contains tmp/, sstate-cache/ and conf/)

What else am I missing?

You need to "bitbake meta-ide-support" before you can use the poky tree mode.

I did that and now I can move a bit farther. I managed to select my SDK type

get this error when trying to run autogen.sh:

Hi Gary,

I just setup my machine for ppc and create a new auto tools based c project
and everything seems working fine for me, so if you go
"Window->Preferecencs->Yocto SDK" in that setup window, do you see "Sysroot"
field? If yo, somehow you're using the 1.0 plugin, but that's fine, just put
"/home/gary/mytarget_poky/tmp/sysroots/ppc603e-poky-linux" there. And try
to reconfigure your project which should trigger autoconfig and the compiler
should be able to use the correct sysroot setup...

Let me know whether that help or not.

Thanks,
Jessica

Gary,

Pls compile your application using the cmd line to debug the error:

# source /home/gary/mytarget_poky/tmp/environment-setup-ppc603e-poky-linux
# cd /home/gthomas/workspace/yocto_test3
# ./configure --host=powerpc-poky-linux --build=i686-linux --target=powerpc-poky-linux

If it still fails, you may look at the config.log to see what actually goes wrong here.

Best regards,
-Lianhao

Gary,

I setup my eclipse IDE to be using 0.9 plug-in and couldn't reproduce the
problem that you run into. Here're several key step screenshots that I used
to create a Yocto Autotools based project and run autoconfig for it.
Step 1: Please refere preference.png for your "Yocto SDK" settings under
Window->Preference
Step 2: In c project, please make sure you select "Yocto SDK Project->Hello
World ANSI C Autotools Project" (please refer to project.png)
Step 3: reconfigure.png is the output when I do Project->"Reconfigure
Project".

If you still run into problem, go under Project->Invoke Yocto
Tools->Reconfigure Yocto, make sure the setting there is the same as your
settings under preference. Then do step 3 again to reconfigure.

Hope this will get you going...

Thanks,
Jessica

Thanks, this did help. My biggest problem was that the Poky tree I was
trying to use had grown a permission problem so I could no longer execute
the compiler (result of moving the tree between machines - pure cockpit
error, sorry). Once I restarted a new Eclipse project with a proper tree
(again I forgot the meta-ide-support package - is this documented?), things
have started coming together.

Next step - try to debug this project on my remote board.

Thanks again
