Hi Greg

I had to try it myself. I haven't tried the OOMPH installer because I have had my environment setup for a while. 

I noticed a couple of things when I tried it myself. The first thing I noticed is, that an old Tracecompass.setup OOMPH setup file is used (from 9.3 release). It still references the git repository located in Gerrit. The repository has been migrated to GitHub in the meanwhile. The second thing is, that there is no target definition set after it's finished.

Please check the remote  setting of the git repository and let me know if you notice the same issue.

So, what you can do: 

• update the remote setting and point to repository in GitHub https://github.com/eclipse-tracecompass/org.eclipse.tracecompass.git. Note that you can remove the  remote that the oomph setup created.
• Pull the latest of master branch

After that you need to set the target platform. The steps are described here:

• https://github.com/eclipse-tracecompass/org.eclipse.tracecompass/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT_ENV_SETUP.md#setting-the-target-platform

Once finished setting it, the workspace should build automatically. If not, please go to main menu "Project" and check "Build Automatically"

Then you can set the baseline API as described here:

• https://github.com/eclipse-tracecompass/org.eclipse.tracecompass/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT_ENV_SETUP.md#defining-an-api-baseline

Please let me know if this helps with your setup.

Note, that on my side I have to figure out why the OOMPH installer does not use the latest trace compass oomph setup file.

BR

Bernd

Hi all,

When trying to follow the instructions in the "## Using the Eclipse Installer (Oomph)" section of https://github.com/eclipse-tracecompass/org.eclipse.tracecompass/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT_ENV_SETUP.md, on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, I'm seeing 3222 errors show up in the Problems view of the resulting development instance of Eclipse.

As a quick indication of the sorts of errors I'm referring to, here are a few selected representative errors from the first page of errors shown:

ANTLRReaderStream cannot be resolved to a type  Metadata.java     /org.eclipse.tracecompass.ctf.core/src/org/eclipse/tracecompass/ctf/core/trace      line 424    Java Problem

BaseTree cannot be resolved to a type     Metadata.java     /org.eclipse.tracecompass.ctf.core/src/org/eclipse/tracecompass/ctf/core/trace      line 443    Java Problem

BitSet cannot be resolved to a type FilterParserParser.java /org.eclipse.tracecompass.tmf.filter.parser/target/generated-sources/antlr3/org/eclipse/tracecompass/tmf/filter/parser  line 1138   Java Problem

From this limited bit of information, if anyone can discern something I might be doing wrong, I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

Greg Savin
