Missing main.swf?

[Arthas]

Hi everyone,
as part of a student project, i'm trying to install Cyclopath on a debian VM, but I can't build the flashclient because the file $CPROOT/flashclient/build/main.swf is not generated by make. And consequently the $CPROOT/htdocs/main.swf link points to a non existing file.
Do you have any idea why this file is missing?

We (a group of students @ Telecom Bretagne, france) are currently taking a look at how Cyclopath works, and we are not yet planning on using it to deliver any kind of services. If we were to do so we would, of course, ask for your permission first.

Regards,
Adrien.

Hi, Adrien,

It's hard to tell what the problem is without seeing the output of the make command.

But I can help you with general setup instructions.

The next version of Cyclopath uses a set of shell scripts to setup new development machines. I realize the documentation online (i.e., at http://cyclopath.org/wiki/Tech:Source_Code) is outdated -- it's hard to maintain the Wiki documentation, whereas the auto_install scripts are easy to maintain, and it's easier to run a script (e.g., ./ccp_install.sh) then it is to copy and paste a ton of Wiki instructions. So please take a look at the auto_install scripts.

I made the code available on the public SVN today, where you'll now find two directories:

  $ svn list svn://magic.cyclopath.org/cyclingproject/public/
 
  trunk/
  ccpv2_trunk/

If you look under ccpv2_trunk, specifically at ccpv2_trunk/scripts/setupcp/runic/auto_install/dir_prepare.sh, you'll find the code we run to setup Flex.

There are also other setup files that may be of interest to you; just look at the other shell scripts under auto_install/. (And you can run ./ccp_install.sh to try to run the auto_install scripts, but they're not configured to run offsite yet, so they'll only work if you run them on a machine here at the University of Minnesota.)

If you're still having problems, please send us the make output and we'll see what we can do.

Good luck!

Sincerely,

Hi again,

i've looked into ccpv2_trunk and still can't build the flashclient, i have the same mistake that i used to have.
I've joined the interesting part of the make output to this mail.
It looks like the build/main.swf can not be generated because sthg is missing. Maybe i forgot to do something.
Do you have any idea of what went wrong?

Thanks,
Adrien.

Adrien,

First, it looks like you're missing a configuration file, flashclient/Conf_Instance.as. You can copy this from flashclient/Conf_Instance.as.template and edit it as appropriate.

Second, I wouldn't try building the ccpv2_trunk -- it's not ready for release yet, but I made it public so you could access scripts/setupcp/runic/auto_install/, in case you needed help configuring your machine.

So, I'd suggest going back to using just trunk/, making sure that Conf_Instance.as exists (and is edited), and trying again.

Good luck,

Hey,

sorry to answer after such a long time, i've check the conf_instance.as file =, in fact the file is missing from flashclient/build because make copies flashclient/Conf_Instance.as.template wthout renaming it (bug?), just changing the name of the file solved everything.

On another topic, i find it really hard to understand how the different parts of cyclopath interract, would you happen to have some kind of block diagram or any other description of the interractions in cyclopath? (I couldn't find one on your wiki).

Thanks,
