I can’t seem to get Wind River to include the WPI library. It works just fine with the demo codes, but when I tell it to include in a test project, it won’t. I select the project in the explorer, go to project>properties>include paths. I add the path the defualt program has, but it will not appear in the explorer and the project still can’t find WPILib.h. Also, there are a bunch of includes I don’t need the project wizard put there that don’t show up in the properties menu. What am I doing wrond?
P.S. I haven’t installed the update yet, but I would think the defualt should still work

After you added the correct include file search path to the project properties, did you clean and/or rebuild the project?
From your description, you’ve done the right thing.
I am not sure what you mean by “it will not appear in the explorer”.
What won’t appear and where did you expect it to appear?
I expected them to show up in the project explorer under includes. I haven’t tried building this project yet, so I didn’t think I would need to clean it. I will try that and see how it goes.
that took care of it. Thanks. I am use to IDE’s that do that for you.
It is a source of constant frustration to me (I use Wind River Workbench in my job) that changing project properties doesn’t regenerate the makefiles automatically. But you’ll become accustomed to cleaning as a matter of habit.
Having two more problems and thought I would post it here rather than create a new thread.
Problem 1
I can not connect to the CRIO from my machine. I get an error saying that the connection timed out. (no- back-end response). I can ping the CRIO, so that is not my problam. I have not installed the update yet, so that could be that problem.
Problem 2
Since my computer wouldn’t work, I tried another machine that could up load one of the test files. When I tried to open my project on his computer, the open project bar was greyed out. Is there some way that I am missing to open a project in wind river?
#1: Install the update
#2: WindRiver doesn’t really focus that much on projects, but rather the workspace environment (which being from a Visual Studio background, annoys me to no end). Try right clicking in the Project Explorer, select Import, and then select General -> Existing Projects into Workspace… that should do the trick. If you’re using SVN/subclipse (highly recommended, btw), you can do an import in a similar manner.
Thanks. I will try that tomorrow when I can get to the CRIO. I am a VB.NET Visual Studio person. I am use to it doing almost everything for me also.
