[Olympus developers 422]: Re: Building and Configuring the Olympus System

[Alex Rudnicky]

Aitzaz,

The code compiles fine on Win 7 and 64-bit.

The problem (according to the error message is that the build script is not finding a particular version of NetBeans on your machine required for the build. The script wants specific versions of other applications,  arguably a bit too conservative.

In any case do you have NetBeans on your machine? If not you should install it.
At the same time, the script should not be throwing errors... I'll try to take a look.

Alex

Subject: [Olympus developers 421]: Building and Configuring the Olympus System

Hi,
      I have a couple of questions about the available code for Olympus.
i)   Has the system been tested on the 64-bit version of Windows 7?
ii)  Have you tried and tested the system on the JRE 1.7 variants?
iii) Which branch has the latest version of the code tested on newer versions of the softwares given on the wiki page? (if there is one that hasn't been updated on the wiki)
iv)  Is the version mentioned on the wiki compatible with the 64-bit Windows 7?

I've tried building the version of the system given on the wiki page on a 64-bit Win 7 VM and I got this error:

"Use of uninitialized value $bestNetbeansVer in pattern match (m//) at Build/OlympusBuild.pm line 1448.
Searching for NetBeans Ant... Error
Use of uninitialized value $bestNetbeansVer in concatenation (.) or string at Build/OlympusBuild.pm line 1453.
Can't determine NetBeans version for"

The statement above has been quoted verbatim. I'd appreciate if you could give an insight on the issue because I have installed NetBeans IDE 6.9 from this link: https://netbeans.org/downloads/6.9/start.html?platform=windows&lang=en&option=javase
