| Re: [ptp-user] Problem setting up RDT (multi-user install info) |
|
By the way, I added a bit about multi-user installs to the release notes. (Thanks for reminding me of this issue.)
I'm not an expert on Windows 7 or multi-user/admin privileges. But yes the eclipse installation will need to write to eclipse/ and its subfolders in order to install things. However in the case where the user does not have write access there is such a thing as a multi-user install. See http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/multi_user_installs.html for more info. If you install things and can't write to the normal area I think it will write to the .eclipse(?) directory Another problem could be with the space and characters in the Path name "Program Files (x86)\eclipse" I would think this *ought* to work but who knows. I tend not to use paths with spaces in the names. ...Beth Beth Tibbitts Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform http://eclipse.org/ptp IBM STG Communications Protocols and Tools Mailing Address: IBM Corp., Coldstream Research Campus, 745 West New Circle Road, Lexington, KY 40511
Use Help > Install new software and from the Helios update site, under General, check Parallel Tools Platform end user runtime. Install just that. Restart Eclipse. Do you see the red-circular Arrow icon in the toolbar? (It's in this image: just to the right under the "Help" menu) You should also see some PTP Perspectives under Window > Open Perspective > Other. Let me know if that much works ok. That was a good idea. I unziped eclipse-cpp-helios-win32.zip, downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ on July 30th, MD5 checksum c20246338fb847d2e95f13ca03e45d38 and size 92.113.717 bytes to a folder in my Windows home directory. I then installed from Helios - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios the plugin General Purpose Tools > Parallel Tools Plaform (PTP) End-User Runtime (resulting in Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) End-User Runtime, 4.0.0.201006142322, org.eclipse.ptp.feature.group) and restarted Eclipse. The new installation looks fine: There's a red circular arrow [Repeat last Parallel Analysis] and there are some new perspectives Window > Open Perspective > Other: ..., Parallel Debug, Parallel Runtime, ... I then compared the contents of the plugins directory of the original installation and the new installation. While there are plenty of org.eclipse.ptp.* files and folders in the new installation, none exist in the old installation. My guess is that this might be caused by the Windows access control. For the old installation, I had copied Eclipse to "Program Files (x86)\eclipse". Could it be that Java / Eclipse isn't able to create files and folders there? Still, that would mean that there is a significant difference between Eclipse's own idea of its configuration and the real configuration. I guess I need some advice on how to install Ecplise and/or Java for all users on Windows 7. Malte Am 31.08.2010 02:25, schrieb Beth Tibbitts:
Unless I can get my hands on your machine to see what's happening (I'm really curious), I think we should start from scratch. Let's install one thing and make sure you can see its UI contributions.

things should be there somewhere, perhaps under another level of menus or parent folder in dialog, etc. depending on your perspective. Is there anything in the environment that might influence which plugins will load or how they impact eclipse? E.g., here's the contents of eclipse.ini: -startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar --launcher.library plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.0.v20100503 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.cpp.product --launcher.defaultAction openFile --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256M -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m --launcher.defaultAction openFile -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Xms40m -Xmx384m

What perspective are you already IN when you do the above? The context menus may look different but all those things should be there somewhere, perhaps under another level of menus or parent folder in dialog, etc. depending on your perspective. You might restart eclipse with the -clean parameter and see if that makes any difference. >Do I have a choice between RDT and RSE when I want to develop on a remote Linux machine?

Parts of PTP are needed by RDT; the pre-reqs should pull that in but installing the PTP End-user Runtime, as you said you did, is safest. I'm not familiar with Eclipse Colorer so can't help there. ...Beth Beth Tibbitts Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform http://eclipse.org/ptp IBM STG Communications Protocols and Tools Mailing Address: IBM Corp., Coldstream Research Campus, 745 West New Circle Road, Lexington, KY 40511
Thanks for your help. I installed all software through Help > Install New Software... and never noticed any other software packages being pulled in besides the one(s) I had selected. I installed the software in three steps, looking for changes in the user interface after each step: 1. PTP Remote Development Tools (RDT), Version 4.0.0 2. PTP RDT Remote Tools Support, Version 4.0.0, plus Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime, Version 3.2.0 3. Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) End-User Runtime, Version 4.0.0 I then activated http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/updates/helios and the updates were detected and installed automatically after a restart.

I also have Window > Open Perspective... Other ... Remote C/C++ Could there be something wrong with my Eclipse installation altogether?
The interdependencies of PTP, RSE, and RDT are still not very clear to me. Do I have a choice between RDT and RSE when I want to develop on a remote Linux machine? Do I need PTP for remote C++ development, as as prerequisite for RDT, or not at all?
