Crossworks on Debian

Started by Micah Stevens February 18, 2005
Hi Paul,

I just installed the crossworks demo on a Debian Sarge machine. The install 
went fine (no errors at least) and now I'm left wondering how the hell I 
start the program? There's no indication of where the executable files are,

and no entries in the KDE menu appeared. 

I took a look around the /usr/bin and /usr/sbin directories, and didn't see

anything resembling crossstudio or cross-anything. 

Thanks for your help!

Hi Micah,

Sorry, I didn't do the Linux installer, Jon did.  I've cc'd him. 
Just
in case, I'm now an all-knowing person on our systems, but I do know
quite a lot.  In this case, I plead ignorance.

Thanks.. I assume it's under /usr/share/crossworks/bin/ or something like 
that, but I didn't see it. I'm running a find on crossstudio now so
maybe 
that will dig it up.

Hi Jon and Paul,

Okay, I found it, it's at: 

/usr/local/Rowley Associates Limited/CrossWorks MSP430 1.0/bin/

But it on startup it can't find the studio.xml file and spouts an error. I 
added the directory to the system path, but that didn't matter, so I assume

it's looking in a specific place for it, not in the crossworks bin/ 
directory. 

Where should it be?

"studio.xml" should be in the "bin" directory with the
crossstudio
file--is it?

Yes, it is. I just had a thought though, I installed as root, so the file is 
owned by root, if the installer didn't change permissions  properly, the 
program is run as a user, won't be able to access it. (checking..) 

Yep, that's the problem. The mode was set to RWX - RW  - so there were no
user 
permissions. This is incorrect, it should be RWX - RW - RW or something of 
that nature, unless the installer sets up a 'crossworks' group and
then gives 
the users permissions in that matter.

I'd say this is an installer bug for sure. Let me know if you need
additional 
information.

On my Mandrake installation it's in:

'/usr/local/Rowley Associates Limited/CrossWorks for ARM
1.2/bin/crossstudio'

This says "executable file" in Konqueror.

Any help? :) 

Cheers,

Rob

PS I love Crossworks, me - means I can dump Windows! ;-)

Ah, glad you sorted it. I had exactly the same errors when I installed on 
Mandy.

Yes, it is. I just had a thought though, I installed as root, so the file is

program is run as a user, won't be able to access it. (checking..)

Frustrating, but hardly life threatening... :-)
