Fixing build problems

[edit]
overview
- Read the Abbot build instructions (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/abbot/abbot.swt/doc/swt/building.html?rev=HEAD). Which are labelled "Building abbot.swt," but note that
- abbot.swt requires abbot
- the rest of abbot.swt.* builds like abbot.swt
- If that doesn't work, look for answers to a specific problem below.
- If that doesn't work, consult the abbot-users list (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/abbot-users).

specific problems
[edit]
abbot.swt won't build
See the the Abbot build instructions (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/abbot/abbot.swt/doc/swt/building.html?rev=HEAD). If you're sure you're executing them correctly, consult the abbot-users list (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/abbot-users).
[edit]
abbot.swt.gef won't build
abbot.swt.gef depends on abbot.swt (and its dependencies) and GEF. Presuming abbot.swt builds (if not see #abbot.swt won't build), you need to get a GEF compatible with your eclipse. To do that,
- Get the appropriate GEF download (http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/downloads/). E.g. for Eclipse 3.0.2 on win32, get GEF-3.0.1 (http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/downloads/drops/R-3.0.1-200408311615/GEF-runtime-3.0.1.zip) (since there is no GEF-3.0.2)
- Extract into the root of your eclipse (remember that the compressed paths start with "eclipse/")
- Restart your workbench
- Check that GEF loads: Prefs>Plugin Development>Target Platform, Reload (and check for out-of-sync errors)
- Select abbot.swt.*, rclick>PDE Tools>Update Classpath
- Rebuild all.
