Re:[photran] WORKAROUND: Exec error:The system cannot find the file spec

NO, I don't believe that's correct.
That last step ("Then, launch eclipse and ....")
is *not* necessary, and will probably break something.

When you manually download photran and unzip it *inside* your eclipse
directory, you're done.
Restart eclipse.  You may need to use the "-clean" argument on that next
invocation to make sure it finds the newly installed plugins as it
restarts.
       eclipse -clean

So, basically the steps to install the Photran feature are:
1. unzip or untar eclipse
2. run eclipse and use the update manager to install CDT 4.0.1 (it should
be on the Europa update site URL which should already appear in your update
manager)
3. close eclipse
4. download and unzip/untar photran into the eclipse directory.
5. restart eclipse with -clean


Basically, there are two ways to install eclipse
extensions/features/plugins:
1. from the Eclipse Update Manager (Help > Software Updates > Find and
Install...)  which uses an "Update Site")
2. manually download and unzipping/untarring into the eclipse installation
directory.

Here we are suggesting to do CDT using method 1.   and to do photran using
method 2..

Martin,
I am on WinXP also, there is no executable installer. You just download the
Eclipse Europa zip file and unzip it to your c:\ drive, for instance.

After you have Eclipse installed you go to Help-->Software Updates-->Find
and Install, choose "Search for new features to install", then Next, then
choose one of the sites listed not sure which and then press Finish. then
choose a mirror and then you should see some download packages. You want to
find CDT4.0.1.xxxx

This is really a nice way to install as you don't have to worry too much
about dependencies.

THEN, you have to manually download the Photran plug-in/feature to you hdd.
Unzip it.

Then, launch Eclipse and you go to Help-->Software Updates-->Find and
Install, choose "Search for new features to install", then Next, then
choose "New Local Site" and point to the windows directory you just
unzipped the Photran plugin/feature to, and then install.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

--Dan
