In order to do more research / debugging related to this question, I am trying to debug ANT from within RAD. I have downloaded ANT source and compiled ANT. I want to start my compiled version as an ANT java program from within RAD to enable me to debug. I looked at these links - 1. Launch multiple java programs from RAD and 2. Setting up ANT launcher in RAD. Both of these are referenced 3. here.
I am still unable to follow how to move from creating an ant launcher as described in 2 to running it as a java program in RAD as explained in 1. In link 3, the person mentioned that they were able to do it, but somehow I am not able to make the transition from ANT launcher I created using link in 2 to defining Main class and the VM parameters as described in 1.
Can someone explain how to do it? I tried to add it as a comment to link in Question #3, but I couldn't add it as a comment, so creating a new question
Sorry about wasting resource here. I wasn't able to get it to work, because I was putting the -f "build file " in location box instead of arguments box. Once i fixed that, it is working now

I have installed Java 8 JDK and JRE, and when I type javac into cmd, everything seems fine. However, when I download a .jar, for example Optifine, I have no option to open with Java. The icon of the .jar is Internet Explorer. When I double-click on the Optifine .jar, I am brought to a "View and track your downloads" window, where I then get stuck in a "Save" and "Open" loop. What can I do to actually see Java as an option to open with? Sidenote: if anyone does reply, please use simpler coding language, as my knowledge only comes from hours of research on how to fix this problem.
I don't know which version of Windows you are using so I can provide detailed step by step guide. .jar files can be opened with Java and compression/decompression utilities. In general, you can change the default programs in control panel and associate .jar file with a specific program you want.
Note: As an irrelevant point in order to use Optifine.jar for Minecraft modding you do not need to open it.
I am trying to install opencv in windows. The manual (secn 1.4) says "choose a build [e.g. vs2010, win32] and download", but there is only the full executable file available (for 2.4.2). So I downloaded that file, which then expanded into several directories. However, this directory list does not match what is shown under item 7 of the section - mainly the "bin" directory is missing. So I guess something more has to be done besides just clicking on the executable.
Under "build" dir, I see x86/vc10/bin (I am guessing that vc10 stands for visual c++ 2010). But how do I install these and link visual studio 2010 with it? The manual only says to setup "OPENCV_DIR" variable which should have "bin" under it, but I dont have that.
This seems like a real problem any new user would face with opencv installation. Any correct instructions and link available on how to install for windows+visual studio 2010?
Updates: Full solution posted below.
After much experimentation, I have got opencv-2.4.2(win-exe) + vstudio2010-express working together. Thanks to Abid, for providing a helpful link, an additional helpful link is http://blog.hcilab.org/bastian/2012/06/installing-opencv-2-4-windows-7-visual-studio
Here is the full list of steps:
set system var OPENCV_DIR = install_dir\build
set system var TBBROOT = tbb_install_dir
path += ;%OPENCV_DIR%\x86\vc10\bin;%TBBROOT%\bin\ia32\vc10
create empty project: File->New->Project->Win32ConsoleApp
add the following items in project->Properties:
ConfigProperties->VC++Dirs->Include: $(OPENCV_DIR)\include;$(TBBROOT)\include
Linker->General->AdditionalLibDirs: $(OPENCV_DIR)\x86\vc10\lib;$(TBBROOT)\lib\ia32\vc10
Linker->Input->AdditionalDeps: add lib items from opencv and tbb (in Debug and Release modes).
for details of which files to include, see http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/windows_visual_studio_Opencv/windows_visual_studio_Opencv.html#windows-visual-studio-how-to
download image-display test file from above site, save it in the project dir. But the Test.cpp in that page requires more inputs, so it does not work easily. Instead, use the code from http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/display_image/display_image.html#display-image
Properties->ConfigProps->Debugging->CommandArgs: mention file name to be loaded
Tools->Option->Debugging->Symbol->MS-Server=yes (this removes most of the "PDB not found" errors)
Tools->Settings->ExpertSettings=on (this also removes some errors)
copy tbb_debug.dll and tbb.dll from TBBROOT\bin\ia32\vc10 to the project dir (I dont know why these are not automatically picked up with the settings done above)
Ctrl+F5 to run (start without debugging)
i think your installation is OK. just need to configure with VS
in Project Properties > C/C++ >
Add Additional Include Directory: C:\opencv\build\include;C:\opencv\build\include\opencv
C/C++ > Linker > Input add Additional Dependencies :
C:\opencv\build\x86\vc9\lib\opencv_core231.lib
C:\opencv\build\x86\vc9\lib\opencv_flann231.lib
C:\opencv\build\x86\vc9\lib\opencv_highgui231.lib
C:\opencv\build\x86\vc9\lib\opencv_imgproc231.lib
and more if needed
add OPENCV_DIR environment variable with value C:\opencv\build\x86\vc10\bin

I've installed Blackberry Java plugin 1.3.0.
When I create a new project BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml shows error.
What is the problem? Is there any environment path problem? If yes, what should to set path?
InvalidRegex: Pattern value '([a-zA-Z_]{1,63}[\s-a-zA-Z_0-9.]{0,63}[;]?)*' is not a valid regular expression
you should of course follow the hint in the error and check that none of your values in your BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml will fail the regex.
However, there is a very strange case whereby you will see this error regardless of your values. In fact, creating a new project straight from Eclipse will still show the error.
Turns out this could be caused by having Java JRE 7 installed on your machine. The BlackBerry plugin doesn't support this yet, Eclipse might be trying to use that.
The fix? You simply have to edit the eclipse.ini that will live in the same directory as your eclipse.exe that you use to start the IDE. Closing Eclipse and making a backup of eclipse.ini before you do this would be a good idea.
Find the line "openFile" and immediately after, add the following:
-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jre6/bin/javaw.exe [or wherever your jre6 directory might be]
Cross your fingers and restart Eclipse.
Rebuild your projects.
Is there anywhere that can give you a tutorial or anything on creating a Debian package using Ant?
I'm being told its already a part of Ant but I've never seen any functions even remotely associated with it.
I don't want to use ant-deb-task either seeing as its not actually part of Ant.
There is no task for this in the core Ant distribution.
There are examples for ant-deb-task available in the examples file on the download page.
Another option is jdeb which also provides documentation.
I have a pre build event set up to generate the version/build number to embed in my exe. The event consists of a call to a batch file that does the actual work (a parameter is passed to the batch file). The batch file works as it should on all of the computers I've tried it on, including the Windows XP computers. It also runs fine as a pre build event on the 3 computers here running windows 7. The pre build event fails, however, on Windows XP. Delphi returns an error code that I can't seem to find a reference to anywhere, "20018".
I've tried a number variations to the way I call the batch file without any luck. Does anyone have an idea what's happening?
The build event is as follows:
call "..\..\Build Tools\PreBuild.bat" "$(PROJECTDIR)"
UPDATE:
I've removed the source of the batch file, since it had no relevance for the actual problem.
You gave so little information that I am tempted to vote to close. Instead I will venture a wild guess. You should post the commands in your post-build step.
If you don't know which line is failing, try the first one alone, and remove the rest, and see if that passes.
For example, I often have problems on XP machines using XCOPY commands in post-build steps, and these commands often result in really odd error codes that I am unable to diagnose or determine the meaning of. So if you have an XCOPY command, you should try the XCOPY inside and outside the build environment, and see if it works on that Windows XP box, for example.
You can copy the commands, as they are run, in their macros-expanded form, from the "Output" tab in the Rad Studio IDE, paste them into notepad, run them as a batch file, and try to figure out why they don't work on windows XP.
Here's an example of a workaround, using XCOPY. If this fails on XP, I tweak it till it works:
XCOPY SourceDir DestDir
I have had to fix it this way:
XCOPY.exe SourceDir DestDir
In another case, I found that I had to fix it this way:
call XCOPY SourceDir DestDir
You ALSO mention you are simply running a mysterious batch file and you fail to mention what it does. So let's see, what we could do differently to run a batch file from a post build step.... When I run a batch file like this, I sometimes have problems on XP, like this:
batchfilename.cmd
But when I run it differently, I find it worked on XP, but I lose the command line output:
call batchfilename.cmd
It seemed that something strange was happening when running post-build steps in the IDE, that could be resolved by trying the commands outside the IDE, in various forms.
The number (20018) you mention is a bit of a silly thing to go googling, it's probably the ERRORLEVEL (return value to the command shell) of whatever tool you are running in your batch file. Since you told us nothing about what tools you're running, I wonder if you have even done the basic step of looking at what happens when you run that batch file OUTSIDE the IDE on that XP machine. My guess is that if it didn't come from your own batch file, that it came from deep in the guts of MSBUILD itself, which is something that very few Delphi people will know the source code to (even the Delphi team itself is using a binary from Microsoft to provide MSBUild functionality). I notice that MSBUILD's built in tasks for doing post-build and pre-build steps are an area of the IDE that need improvement, especially when it comes to debugging problems like this. You can however, simply run them outside the IDE and see if they work that way, and you can try stuff, as I have suggested above.
If this is your batch file ... I suggest that due to dependency issues, you might not want to use such a batch file technique to modify an RC file, as it might expose some strange dependency issues in MSBUILD with RAD/Delphi build tasks. I have also seen some weird BRCC32 failures, on XP that I have not been able to reproduce.
Ok, I finally found the answer here:
http://delphi.about.com/od/devutilities/a/pre_post_build.htm
The problem was spaces in the path to the batch file being called. Apparently this isn't a problem in Windows 7.
Removing the space in the build tools directory and changing the pre build event to the following fixed the problem:
call ..\..\BuildTools\PreBuild.bat "$(PROJECTDIR)"
Here's the important bit from the link:
Command Line: This is the trickiest of them all, but after you get one working, they’re all easy. The trick here is not to use quotes on the program’s name but instead use the windows SFN (Short File Name). The reason is that, should you need to use quotes to enclose the path of your file, the IDE gets confused with too many quotes. So, these are the wrong ways of adding that command line above:
C:\Program Files\SoftwarePassport\Armadillo.exe D:\Dev\My Prog\Prot.arm /P
"C:\Program Files\SoftwarePassport\Armadillo.exe" D:\Dev\My Prog\Prot.arm /P
C:\Program Files\SoftwarePassport\Armadillo.exe "D:\Dev\My Prog\Prot.arm" /P
"C:\Program Files\SoftwarePassport\Armadillo.exe" "D:\Dev\My Prog\Prot.arm" /P
This last one should work, if it were not for the IDE to be confused with it. So, what does work is either of these:
C:\Progra~1\Softwa~1\Armadillo.exe "D:\Dev\My Prog\Prot.arm" /P
C:\Progra~1\SoftwarePassport\Armadillo.exe "D:\Dev\My Prog\Prot.arm" /P
