I have completed the steps listed at https://dev.eiffel.com/Compiling_EiffelStudio, but "Compiling EiffelStudio" fails.  When attempting to use EiffelStudio or the command line I get a VD00: General configuration parsing error...Could not open file: /framework/cli_writer/cli_writer.ecf...

What am I missing?

Below the tail end of quick_confiture, the error message, my environment variables, and file permissions:

/bin/rm -f meltdump

if test -f meltdump; then \

/bin/mv meltdump meltdump~; fi

cc -o meltdump meltdump.o   -lm

quick_configure terminated.

According to the output, the environment variable EIFFEL_SRC is not set.

My initial reaction was, "How did you know this from the output?"  What output?  The message from the compiler?

Ah, I see I have EIFFEL_SCR instead of EIFFEL_SRC.  But, could you tell from the VD00:  "Could not open file" message that that was the error?

Thanks,
jjj

I tried to fix it.  What's wrong now?

You are wrongly defining $EIFFEL_SRC

 

export EIFFEL_SRC=14.05_dev

 

It should read:

 

export EIFFEL_SRC=/Users/jjj/14.05_dev

Thank you.  A least now I can explore the classes in EiffelStudio.

But I get a linker error.  The last few lines of the output is below:

Hi

The issue here is that you need 15.01 to compile the latest source code. You can get it from https://ftp.eiffel.com/pub/download/15.01

I can now compile ec.ecf in EiffelStudio and explore the classes.  How do I run it?  Can I run it in EiffelStudio and trace the execution?  I tried setting the working directory to location of an ecf file and used the name of the ecf file as arguments.

When you press run it launches ec without argument. So to launch the gui of EiffelStudio, you need to provide the -gui command line option. To specify a config file you need to provide the -config option followed by the path to the ECF.
