OMEdit fails to pass correct platform triplets when cross compiling an FMU

[anatoly.trosinenko@…]

Some time ago the support for cross-compilation of FMUs was added to the OMEdit UI. Unfortunately, it is broken now. The settings dialog shows installed crosscompilers, but when I select any of them (even for my native platform) configure fails.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to Options dialog and on the FMI tab select some of target platform triplets. In my case the settings are: Version = 2.0, Type = ME&CS, Platforms: Static, x86_64-linux-gnu.
2. Compile some model to FMU from the UI

   model Test
     output Real x;
   equation
     x = time;
   end Test;
   

Expected result

Model compiles without errors.

Actual result

The following error is reported:

[1] 11:47:21 Translation Error
Error building simulator. Build log: checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `&x86_64-linux-gnu': machine `&x86_64' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/bash ./config.sub &x86_64-linux-gnu failed

Note the & sign in the platform triplet.

Some time ago, ​https://github.com/OpenModelica/OMEdit/pull/186 was merged. Now it works for me on my Ubuntu 18.10 amd64.

Yeah that's right. I am closing this ticket.
