I have installed Rhapsody 7.5.2. and Visual Studio 2008 on an XP (with service pack 3). When I tried to follow the ATG tutorial on the Vending Machine example after "Create TestArchitecture" my "Build TestContext" fails with:


Actually before I even got to this phase I had to copy msvc9make.bat as msmake.bat as this is the file Rhapsody expects to see. I also had to rename some libraries in Rhapsody\Share\LangCpp\Lib by removing the "VC9" from the name as Rhapsody was looking for libs without that.

I have Microsoft SDKs installed, and the library in question seems to be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib. Any idea how I can make Rhapsody to link to these SDK libs?

Perhaps you should try to change the component's configuration from Microsoft to MSVC9?

How do I do that?

I remember that I had worked a lot to make wsock32 lib work in Rhapsody environment, by playing with Configuration Settings -> Libraries and --> Headers fields, but could not succeed. I think the problem actually stems from various incompatibilities in Microsoft's different versions of WinSock headers and libraries, as well as some compiler specific settings. I believe it is not a Rhapsody-specific problem.

My solution was to prepare a LIB using VisualStudio and refer this lib and its header file from Rhapsody as shown in the attachment. That is to say, do not teach Rhapsody which WinSock lib and WinSock header to use. Instead, use Visual Studio and prepare a user LIB which knows how to access WinSock stuff and then let Rhapsody refer the generated user lib and user header.

Hope, this helps.

Are you telling that Rhapsody cannot be made to work without compiling wrapper around system libraries? That sounds unusal.

No, I am not telling it can not be made to work. But, WinSock stuff makes it really hard.
That's why, after a 2-days tiring work, I could not succeed and found the solution I described above.

Please inform me if you can succeed in another way..

Well, for now I get passed this problem by simply copying the referenced .lib to the directory where Rhapsody generated the source codes. However, after I try to "Apply ATG" Rhapsody reports several compiler errors:

Ok, ATG needed me to set Visual Studio 2008 as the default compiler: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg21397446

Well, now if I generate tests I get:

Hi Ramont,

you just did one mistake at the very first beginning: When you got the compilation errors
, you tried to rename files etc. This is all not needed. You just need to set the compilation environment
from "Microsoft" to "MSVC9". That's it, then it works.

Now, since you did several changes in your installation, I propose the following.

1. Uninstall Rhapsody. After uninstallation, if there are remaining files, delete them.

2. Install Rhapsody again.

3. Open the sample model, create a test architecture, and before doing apply ATG, simply switch
the compilation environment from "Microsoft" to "MSVC9".

That's it, then everything should work fine.

Thanks for the reply. That is what I eventually did as I posted above, however this wasn't enough but I also needed to rebuild the Rhapsody environment as described in http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocente ... /index.jsp. I also finally got over the missing windows.h by just copying SDK headers into E:\Rhapsody\Atg\LangCppOXF\oxf which again sounds a bit hairy but that was the only way could generate tests.

Hi,

perhaps it helps to add a call to vcvars32.bat in the Rhapsody build script msmake.bat under Rhapsody/share/etc.

I'm not shure where I found the vcvars32.bat file. In the VS200X installation directory or even in the Rhapsody subdirectories.
