Builds runs on one Pi 4 and not two others.

[richardf]

I have reported this issue a while ago.

I have three identical Pi 4.  I am running Visual Studio Community 2019 and VisualGDB 5.5R2 (although this happened before).  I can build and run on pi$bblack yet can’t build on pi$ablack (although it did build a few months ago).

As I recall, back then, I rebuilt the project from scratch and it worked, yet the problem is back.

Same code.  See file.

Help.

Hi,

It looks like the target board is missing the ninja tool that is used to check dependencies and rebuild out-of-date files without any extra network delays. You can install ninja by running “sudo apt install ninja” on Raspberry Pi, or by creating another MSBuild-based project targeting that device from scratch, so that VisualGDB could recheck and install the required tools.

rm -rf “/tmp/VisualGDB/c/RaspGlo/GloR/VisualGDB/Debug”

ninja -f “VisualGDB/Debug/GloR.msbuild-ninja”

I performed sudo apt install ninja. I rebooted.  I am logged in as pi.

If I type ninja I get

pi@ablack:~ $ ninja
log: warning: no configuration file specified, using default values
log: ninja version 0.1.3 initializing
die: error: must run as root

I can build and run successfully using GNU make except it is painfully slow.

thanks

I then built an ap from start. When I try to build, I get:

rm -rf “/tmp/VisualGDB/c/RaspberryPi/RaspAps/LinuxProject1/VisualGDB/Debug”
C:\RaspberryPi\RaspAps\LinuxProject1 => /tmp/VisualGDB/c/RaspberryPi/RaspAps/LinuxProject1: 1 files copied (253 bytes).

I build a simple ap from start. When I try to build on one of my Raspberry pi’s, I get:

rm -rf “/tmp/VisualGDB/c/RaspberryPi/RaspAps/LinuxProject1/VisualGDB/Debug”
C:\RaspberryPi\RaspAps\LinuxProject1 => /tmp/VisualGDB/c/RaspberryPi/RaspAps/LinuxProject1: 1 files copied (253 bytes).
ninja -f “VisualGDB/Debug/LinuxProject1.msbuild-ninja”

Hi,

As the message suggests, ninja expects to be run as root on Raspberry Pi.

You can configure Raspberry Pi to permit root logins as shown here and then create another SSH connection in the VisualGDB wizard or project properties (root@raspberrypi instead of pi@raspberrypi).
