Install Eclipse using a haeadless build 2. Create a new BitBake Commander Project 3. Select the project, and in Eclipse toolbar select: Project -> Lauch HOB. 4. Select any Bitbake build directory which has compiled pseudo-native. EXPECTED RESULT: HOB launches successfully. ACTUAL RESULT: HOB doesn't launch and an error is displayed in the console from which eclipse had been launched: The file does not exist for the external tool named hob.

Xterm wasn't installed on the host machine which the error happened, and the error message was misleading: "The file does not exist for the external tool named hob" There must be an error message informing the user that Xterm isn't installed on his host machine. 41471 7 jessica.zhang 2014-03-20 00:35:16 +0000 Hi Scott, Can you add a doc note saying that eclipse plug-in requires xterm to be installed? Thanks, Jessica 41686 8 srifenbark 2014-03-25 12:48:07 +0000 Hi, I need some more information on this bug. Right now we require the Xterm package to be installed on a Fedora host as a "Graphical Package". (see http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#fedora-packages). Is the reason for HOB not launching a graphical issue? If so, it would seem that a documentation note for Hob would want to say that you need to have the host packages that support Graphics installed on your system in order to run Hob under Eclipse. What I am wondering is what is the root issue here. Is there anyway to find out? Also, is this just limited to Fedora? Because we include Xterm in all the supported distro required package lists for Graphics. If it is not a graphics-related issue then a separate note for the Eclipse plug-in would be appropriate. Although, we seem to have established a precedent where we tell the users what host packages are required in order to run what tools. Perhaps we need to add an "Eclipse" category in the required packages section? Scott 41693 9 alexandru.c.georgescu 2014-03-25 13:31:06 +0000 Hi Scott, Jessica, I see no harm having a reference in the manual on the Eclipse setup to the required packages. There, the problem was that Xterm wasn't installed on the system and we couldn't tell why HOB isn't starting from Eclipse because Eclipse didn't gave us any clue. I don't think we want this to be marked as a documentation enhancement for the purely reason that there are users which are not preparing properly their environment and the one explained above. So in my opinion the enhancement is that we need a clear error message from Eclipse plugin that informs the user that xterm must be installed and also the documentation won't hurt. 41718 10 srifenbark 2014-03-25 17:30:05 +0000 I made a couple changes here to try and satisfy the documentation component. One in the dev-manual and one in the ref-manual. I need someone to tell me if the one in the ref-manual is really okay or not: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#workflow-using-the-adt-and-eclipse - this change calls out the xterm package in particular as a requirement for using the Eclipse workflow. http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#required-packages-for-the-host-development-system - Because the "xterm" package is already consistently listed as a requirement for the host package setup in the Graphics Support area, I modified this area to include the Eclipse stuff. There are other packages listed along with "xterm" and I figured it would not break anything to have them also included as they are needed for Graphics support anyway. Please look over these two changes and let me know if this satisfies the documentation portion of this bug. Thanks, Scott 42075 11 srifenbark 2014-04-01 22:41:05 +0000 Enhancement - moving to 1.7. 43701 12 srifenbark 2014-06-02 13:05:54 +0000 No comments on this fix for over two months.
