OpenChronos Compiliation in Windows

OpenChronos Compiliation

Following the very useful instructions here: http://rubenlaguna.com/wp/2011/02/11/compiling-openchronos-in-windows/index.html/ I ran into a problem:
Resolving ftp.uni-kl.de (ftp.uni-kl.de)… 131.246.123.4, 2001:638:208:ef1b:0:ff:fe00:4
Connecting to ftp.uni-kl.de (ftp.uni-kl.de)|131.246.123.4|:80… connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response… 404 Not Found
2012-10-02 13:01:19 ERROR 404: Not Found.

I resolved it by modifying the buildgcc.pl file in the /tmp/mspgcc4-20110130 folder, changing line 136 from:

$BINUTILS_VERSION = “2.21”;

to

$BINUTILS_VERSION = “2.21.1”;

I’m not sure if it will break further into the process, I’ll update if so (and if not!)

crdb_adoplus.dll file strangeness

crdb_adoplus

I was running into some problems when trying to use the Crystal Report Viewer in Visual Studio 2010 to view data stored in a local DataSet. After some initial problems with the Database login prompt appearing (you need to set the source with SetDataSource on the report document object, folks), I thought i’d sorted it, until I ran into this:

Could not load file or assembly ‘file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet1\crdb_adoplus.dll’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Changing a setting in the app.config file sorted it out. Here’s what I needed to change:

<startup>
  <supportedRuntime version=”v4.0″ sku=”.NETFramework,Version=v4.0″/>
</startup>

to:

<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy=”true”>
  <supportedRuntime version=”v4.0″ sku=”.NETFramework,Version=v4.0″/>
</startup>

Here’s the MSDN Article that explains the useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy attribute in more detail:

Whether this causes me headaches further down the development path remains to be seen……
