Use of msvc flag in OMEdit

[Julian Ophey]

When I use any model out of the MSL, and add the flags in the options:

+d=initialization +simCodeTarget=Cpp +target=msvc

then the simulation failed with the error log:
Modelica.Blocks.Examples.PID_Controller.makefile:17: * missing separator. Stop.
Compilation process failed. Exited with code 2.

Thanks for your support.

This is now fixed in a development branch ​https://github.com/adeas31/OMEdit/commit/3af330536bb03c5f413c83c0048f5084a5243257. The fix will be available in 1.9.4 final release.

The fix is now available via the nightly build.

I tested it with the nightly build version 525-gf0bcb4f but i still get the same error
I used the tools -> options dialog and added to the simulation tab the omc flags +simCodeTarget=Cpp +target=msvc
Is this the correct way to change the simCode target and the compiler target?

[Adeel Asghar]

No. You should choose Cpp from drop-down options of Target Language and msvc from drop-down options of Target Compiler in Tools->Options->Simulation.

[Niklas Worschech]

Thank you, the compilation works now. But the simulations chrashes with this error

Do you know what the problem is?

[Adeel Asghar]

Do you know which binaries are required to run the executable? I set OPENMODELICAHOME/bin as the process environment. If the executable needs more binaries than the ones in bin then it will fail.

Can you run dependency walker on the executable and share a screenshot of it?

[Adrian Pop]

I think you need to have also in the path: $OPENMODELICAHOME\lib\omc\msvc if the target is msvc.

[Adrian Pop]

If the runtime is CPP then I guess you also need to add to the path: $OPENMODELICAHOME\lib\omc\cpp\msvc

[Adeel Asghar]

I added paths in 4ef774e/OMEdit. Lets see how it works now.

[Niklas Worschech]

Thank you, if add the paths to the path variable it works.
I noticed that I have to open the tools dialog when I started OMEdit to change the codegenrator, otherwise the codegenerator would no be changed. So OMedit did forget the codgenerator settings.

[Adeel Asghar]

Replying to niklwors:

Thank you, if add the paths to the path variable it works.

You don't have to add the paths to path variable manually. My last commit will add them and set a proper environment automatically. Test it and let me know.

I noticed that I have to open the tools dialog when I started OMEdit to change the codegenrator.

Yes, but you only have to do it once and then OMEdit will remember your settings.

the nightly build v1.9.4-dev-667-g37ad4ee still crashes with the same error
