Problem opening file

[manni]

Hello,

My Setup:

Windows MS Visual Studio

Crosscompile Linux Projekt on Raspberry Pi, MS Build.

My project compiles ok.

In cpp source code I want to open a file:

For testing I use a simple text file.

But the same problem with other file types.

FILE *fp =  fopen(“test.txt”, “r”);
if (!fp)
{
perror(“Error”);
return 0;
}

The problem:

When debugging, I can not open file because I get error: No such file.

I added the test.txt file to the Project resource folder. Is that correct?

With adding

system(“pwd”);

I got the path, and I added path to fopen() function:

FILE *fp =  fopen(“/tmp/VisualGDB/c/Users/manni/Desktop/VisualGDBProjects/gles5/VisualGDB/Debug/test.txt”, “r”);
if (!fp)
{
perror(“Error”);
return 0;
}

Still same Problem:

No such file:

Question: Where do I have to copy the file, that I want to open (test.txt)?

 

Thank you

 

Manni

Hi,

If you want to upload a text file to the target before debugging, you can add a new upload action to the custom pre-debug actions on the Debug Customization page of VisualGDB Project Properties (requires Custom edition or higher).

Thanks for the quick answer,

after the trial period I paid for the product, but In the VisualGDB project properties I don’t see the option Custom debug steps.

How do I get the Custom edition?

Hi,

You may have purchased the Linux edition then. You can always upgrade it here: https://sysprogs.com/splm/mykey

Also if you don’t need to copy this file each time, you can simply upload it once with SmarTTY and keep on using the Linux edition.

Yes, it’s working.Problem solved.

I upgrade anyway.

Thank you very much.
