I don't see any Papyrus-RT exception in those traces.

Can you provide more information: when do you get those exceptions? performing which action (preferably a list of steps)? Can you provide a model on which to reproduce it?

It was the pingPong tutorial.

What I had done -
1. Copied the Papyrus-RT installed directory from my old machine to new one (both Windows 10 C:\ drive)
2. Created the pingPong project but got some errors.
3. Then I removed and re-installed Papyrus-RT RCP with a fresh copy. Imported this project. This is when I got the above errors.
4. Then instead of importing I again created a fresh project with the new installation and now the errors are gone.

But now, the CDT project does not recognize the c++ header files and UMLRTCapsule class.
I am now using Papyrus-RT installed from RCP with win10 linux subsystem and Jdk 1.8.

The issue that I am now facing is similar to the one in discussion "problem finishing the PingPong tutorial [message #1773520]" at https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1089138/

steps performed for CDT project -
1. right click on the capsule Top and select "Generate with this capsule as top".
2 switch to ubuntu subsytem in windows 10,
navigate to the generated project and create "build" folder.
3. run 'cmake ../src' inside build
upto here everything is smooth.
4. run 'make' from inside build directory. And this is where I get errors, probably because of the errors in the CDT Project itself.

I am attaching the project directories and also listing few of the errors -
1. Unresolved inclusion: cstddef
> to resolve this I added the path through Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Includes: Add
However, with every new addition, the previous inclusion gets resolved but a new one pops-up. I went upto 5-6 additions and it still continues for a new unresolved inclusion.
Note: all the unresolved inclusions are under 1 common directory (../rootfs/usr/include), but I am having toddll each sub-directory separately.
2. symbol 'UMLRTCapsule' could not be resolved
3. symbol 'NULL' could not be resolved
and many more...

Path of Ubuntu Subsytem in Win 10:
C:\Users\sneha\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\

Installation Details also attached.

The CDT problems are unrelated to the exceptions shown in the original message. Are those exceptions preventing you from doing something or have some observable unexpected behaviour, or they just show up in the console and Error log?

With respect to the CDT errors, did you follow the instructions from [1] and [2]?

[1] https://wiki.eclipse.org/Papyrus-RT/User_Guide/Cygwin_Setup
[2] https://wiki.eclipse.org/Papyrus-RT/User_Guide/Compiling_and_running_Papyrus_for_Real_Time_applications

It's particularly important that you find the location of the RTS and set the UMLRTS_ROOT environment variable to point to it as described in [2]. Also add it as an environment variable in the CDT's preferences for Environment variables.

The exceptions in the original message only showed up in the console and error log. On re-doing the project in a fresh install, they just dissappeared.

With regards to the CDT error, yes I have done everything as per [1] and [2].
I have correctly set up the UMLRTS_ROOT as described in [2].

About the last part. I added both - LinuxGCCInclude and UMLRTS_ROOT, to -
Windows -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Environment,
and, .............................................................................. -> Build Variables

Then reGenerated the Project, but still the same error in CDT Project.

In the generated cdt project can you unfold the "Includes" item and list all the items that appear there?

You should see paths pointing to the libraries of your C++ installation, as well as the $UMLRTS_ROOT/umlrt folder (note the last /umlrt).

CDT Project -> Includes , has only 1 sub-directory - $UMLRTS_ROOT/include

The includes from GCC are not being added automatically.
If I add manually one by one they get unresolved. But its just too many to manually add all sub-directories.

Ok, the problem is more of a CDT problem than a Papyrus-RT problem. After some quick googling I found this about configuring the CDT [1]:

Quote:

You do NOT need to do any configuration, as long as the Cygwin or MinGW binaries are included in the PATH environment variable. CDT searches the PATH to discover the C/C++ compilers.

It's a bit outdated, but probably still holds true.

So what happens is that if you installed Cygwin (or the GCC in Cygwin) *after* you started your Papyrus-RT session, then the CDT included in Papyrus-RT doesn't find the GCC (and its libraries and include files). Therefore you get all those unresolved symbols.

So what you would need to do is to make sure that you have installed Cygwin with GCC first (and you may have to manually add the Cygwin's bin folder to the System PATH), and then start Papyrus-RT. If you do that, when the CDT project is generated, it will include all the required paths automatically.

By the way, don't expect that a CDT project that you generated on a different machine will work, because obviously all those paths could be different. In that case you will have to regenerate code.

Thank you for the solution.
I am able to generate an error-free CDT for my project now.

Just an additional note.
I am using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) instead of Cygwin or MinGW (following their steps and instruction).
So instead of adding 'c:\cygwin\bin' (in my case WSL ..rootfs\usr\bin directory) to the windows Path variable I was adding 'rootfs\bin' and 'rootfs\usr\include'(wrong paths) at wrong places - 1) WSL PATH (2) Papyrus-RT preferences > C/C++ >Build>Environment.
That is why Papyrus-rt could not find the C++ header files.

It works perfectly now :) Thank you again for pointing it out.

If required I could also share the steps I followed for compiling & executing using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This an inbuilt feature of Windows10 and works without having to additionally use Vagrant, Cygwin or MinGW.

Thanks again,
Sneha
