[tracecompass-dev] Building TC from source - configuration recommendations?
|
Hello,
In order to investigate a TC performance issue we encountered we decided
to build TC from source and to debug the issue ourselves.
Alas, building TC from source (from scratch and as a newcomer) turned
out to be a very mixed bag and became a significant effort for days.
Firstly, the documentation in
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Trace_Compass/Development_Environment_Setup
seems incomplete as it is not referring to the Eclipse components wich
are required in addition to what's in the Committers/PDE version,
respectively where from to get these missing components.
Secondly, the build result is highly depending on the following version
related decisions:
- Which Eclipse IDE version (not flavor) to use as the development IDE.
- Which target platform version to chose.
- Which API baseline version to chose.
Experimenting with the above resulted in a more or less voluminous list
of errors and warnings of different characteristics but each result
leaving one pretty helpless regarding what to do to reduce the errors.
Under Linux we now succeeded to patch together a buildable configuration
using versions 4.9 consistently as we found this version reference in
the sources. Under Windows we are still failing to reproduce this
result. Trying the Oomph installer as recommended didn't improve on
that, rather the opposite.
Please provide a recommendation regarding the above version choices and
we'll try working our way forward from there.
Best Regards,
Rudolf
