| MinGW Adapter for RiC and RiCpp 7.4 on Windows |
+=======================================================+

Steps to build a model for MinGW on Windows:
===============================================

1) Download and launch MinGW- Installer to install MinGW
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ming ... -5.1.3.exe

Make sure that MinGW base Tools, g++ and MinGW Make is checked

Install MinGW to C:\mingw !!!!

2) The MinGW package does not include core utils like rm (=remove, needed for example to perform a rebuild in Rhapsody) or cp (=copy, needed during Framework Compilation) nor a debugger.

In order to have a full support download and install:
MSYS: http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1. ... e?download

Install it to c:\mingw\msys (not c:\mingw\msys\1.0)
Run post install process -if you want- by pointing to your MinGW install path (c:/mingw) – ignore the recommendation message and the end of the process

3) Extract the zip file Rhapsody74MinGWShare.zip onto your Rhapsody installation folder

(if you have installed mingw into a different folder then c:\mingw you have to adapt the files MinGWMake.bat MinGWRun.bat, Rebuild_MinGW_Libraries.bat)

4) From the "LangC" and "LangCpp" folders launch:
Rebuild_MinGW_Libraries.bat to build the OXF framework libraries for RiC and RiCpp

5) You can now build C and C++ model in Rhapsody for the "MinGW" environment

Mickey, I followed your instructions but when I tried to build a simple RiC++ model, I got this error. Is it something you've seen before?

Do you have Vista ? ....

I found an article related to your problem under the following webpage http://www.madwizard.org/electronics/ar ... inavrvista

So one thing that might help is to rebase the msys1.0.dll or to use the attached msys-1.0.dll instead. If you have VISTA64 follow the instructions on the provided webpage...

Please let me know if this helps .. I don't have vista :->

Thanks, yes that did the trick.

I'm using XP and not Vista.

Thank you Mickey, it works fine. At the moment I try to include Qt4 but have big problems with the two makefiles. Do you have same Ideas how I can Include Qt4 with mingw in Rhapsody?
Thanks a lot

I think this question is a new thread ... but .. ok

Here what I would propose:
QT has an eclipse plugin which is pretty cool .. so the easiest way is to install eclipse, qt mingw to run inside eclipse and then in Rhapsody... you generate an eclipse consfiguration ... sounds complicated but it's easy ...

If you have more questions on this then please create a new thread

Thanks

Thanks for the MinGW adaptor. I got it to work with plain vanilla Rhapsody, but I'm having problems with using it when Rhapsody is integrated with Eclipse.

First, whenever I create the IDE project, Rhapsody keeps changing Environment back to Cygwin. Its either reverting back to default, automatically selecting the first environment in the list, or just remembering what I had it set at yesterday.

I select MinGW in the Create IDE Project dialog, but all the animation libraries are still set to Cygwin, so I have to manually change those.

When I try to build, MinGW complains that it can't find the animation libraries. Below is the error.

I verified that the files do exist. I think its having a problem with the "..\", but I can't find the root of where this is defined. If I try to change the mak file, it just overwrites it when it generates a new one.

good point .. probably I have to extend the adpater for Eclipse usage ... in the meanwhile ... you have to add the path for the libraries in your eclipse project environment ...
