Running EiffelStudio in Workbench mode

Revision as of 04:55, 28 November 2007 by Jfiat (Talk | contribs)

Starting from revision 6.0 of EiffelStudio, we made it easier to run side by side an official version of EiffelStudio and its workbench version. To make sure this functionality is enabled you need to create a separate delivery of EiffelStudio located at the same place as the official version with the _wkbench suffix.

We assume that you have installed the official release of EiffelStudio in the following directory /apps/EiffelXX. Therefore in the /apps directory follow the instruction on how to build a delivery, but use the name EiffelXX_wkbench instead of EiffelXX.

Now that you have done that, simply copy your workbench binaries into EiffelXX_wkbench/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin. It is also possible to directly link 'ec' and 'ec.melted' from the workbench binaries (located in $EIFFEL_SRC/Eiffel/Ace/EIFGENs/bench/W_code/).

Create the precompiles for EiffelXX_wkbench using ec from EiffelXX_wkbench.

Make sure that $EIFFEL_SRC is set.

Note: $EIFFEL_SRC/scripts/update_ise_eiffel_wkbench.eant can help you building an up to date ${ISE_EIFFEL}_wkbench
