32-bit EiffelStudio for Windows XP

[Jimmy Johnson]

Could someone point me to the 32-bit Windows, GPL build of EiffelStudio?  I need to run it in windows XP in VirtualBox.  

Thanks,

jjj

Thanks.  I tried it on Windows XP in VirtualBox.  When double clicking files double clicking files estudio.exe and ec.exe I get windows' error:  "...not a valid Win32 application."   ??

Seems to work in Windows 7

Where can I get an older GPL version that is 32 bits and runs in Windows XP?

Try this page for the full archive of recent versions https://sourceforge.net/p/eiffelstudio/activity/?page=5&limit=100 and scroll to the bottom for the oldest version.

Looking at my own backup archive it seems I was using version 15 on Windows XP around 2010. I did see I had also been using MS Visual Studio and its C compiler compatible with those versions (2005 / 2007 ???). 

You may want to ceck the release history on Eiffels website, and look what language level was supported at the time.

thanks, will look at it.

I think I need Version 14.05, but 18.11 is the oldest available here.  Any other suggestions?

Hi!

Sorry, I have no answer for you, but maybe this is an indicator why Eiffel isn't that popular: It's probably much easier to get a rather current C compiler (Eiffel would need anyway) for 32 bit than to get a working Eiffel development. Not to talk about "cross-compiling": If the C compiler on 64 bit can compile for 32 bit, why can't Eiffel?

Kind regards,
Ulrich

I would check the date when Windows XP was active and then grab the 32-bit version from that time period.

I can not get the version from that time period.

But I don't think Eiffel is the problem.  I think the header file is looking for a platform and processor (Windows i386 or PowerPC).  I no longer have that computer, just an iMac with VirtualBox (Windows XP & Vista).

I changed the header just to see and now the only errors is:
    error: a space is required between consecutive right angle brackets (use '> >')
                std::vector<std::vector<int>> GetNxtCamObjects(Comm::NXTComm* comm, int port, int minArea);
   

seems it does not like the ">>" symbol for a nested template.
