WindRiver & Git - Makefile

[Mike Soukup]

I don't have the computer with me right now that I use for FIRST development, so I don't know the specific instructions, but I'll try from memory.

We use SVN to host just our code. No makefiles, no project files, just .cpp & .h. Each developer then creates a project using one of the sample projects as a base, cleans out all the default code files, renames the project, etc. Then we import (I believe that's the correct menu option, but I'm not certain) the directory that contains all our SVN code. Our code is then buildable. When someone adds or removes a file, it's necessary to refresh the file browser tree.

I've done it on SVN with just .h and .cpp files. Here is a procedure I wrote a couple of years ago for the guys on my team (I updated it a bit, but there may be mistakes).

We use TortoiseSVN, hence the Windows Explorer right-click-menu bit.

• Run Wind River Workbench 3.0.
  
• Go to File->New->Example...
• Select VxWorks Downloadable Kernel Module Sample Project and click Next
• Select FRC Default Program and click Finish
• Right-click on BuiltinDefaultCode in the Project Explorer and select Rename.
• Enter the desired project name.
• In the [project name] project in the Project Explorer, delete BuildinDefaultCode.cpp and sample.txt.
• In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\WindRiver\workspace\.
• Right-click on the [project name] folder and select SVN Checkout...
• Enter [svn path] as the repository URL.
• Enter 'C:\WindRiver\workspace\[project name]' as the checkout directory.
• Click OK; when the 'folder not empty' warning pops up, click Yes.
• Right-click in the Project Explorer and select Refresh.
• Right-click the [project name] project, and go to Build Options->Clean Project. The project should now be set up.

Actually, there is an option to create a project from an SVN repo. I think it's Import->SVN. It's what we use, and it works well

Almost, Import>SVN>Checkout Projects From SVN
or you could use
New>Project>SVN>Checkout Projects From SVN

We used this also

This method seems to work fine when using Git. I'll do a write up in a bit once I'm done converting my repo to make sure it really works.

Thanks all.

Edit: Though it doesn't work too well with branches (cause when you go back to the same branch, they won't exist anymore thus WindRiver whines). Not sure if there is a way to get git to not delete those files.
