Re: [ptp-dev] Bundled sdm binaries
|
Orion,
Currently the sdm executable must be installed by hand (i.e. either compiled from source or copied from the plugin to an installation direction). You can install it in /usr/bin or anywhere you want.
However, installing it on the same machine running Eclipse is not that useful, since it really needs to be installed on the target system (the one running the application being developed). which may be a different o/s and architecture. The goal for the kepler release is to automatically copy the executable of the correct architecture from the plugin to the user's home directory on the target system, the run it from there. This will happen transparently, so the user will just start a debug session, and the sdm will be automatically installed if it isn't already.
The sdm is never run by hand. It is always started by Eclipse during a debug session.
If shipping the binaries is a problem for you, I would suggest either dropping the fragments from the build (in which case the user will have to build from source themselves), or installing the sdm's in known location that the user can copy manually to the target machine.

It's somewhat problematic for the Fedora packages to ship a binary inside the jar file rather than just installing into /usr/bin or some such. Is this command something that anyone would every run directly from the command line?
