Thanks!
We're currently creating a patch release (CE 2.00.01) to address a few
other minor issues reported, and will integrate this feedback as we put
that together. There will be some updates to the example build
structure, mainly to support building for a limited set of
devices/platforms rather than all(!), so these comments are very timely.
I really do appreciate this kind of feedback - and am glad to see this
list provides the secondary goal of 'blowing off steam'. ;)

Subject: CE 2_00 examples build: blowing off steam
Hi all (and especially the guys in TI),
following are some problems I came across while trying to
'simply' build
the examples directory distributed with Codec Engine 2_00,
following
instructions in examples/build_instructions.html. All these
problems
can be easily overcome by some hacking, but I think it is time
that this
will work 'out of the box', without needing to grep makefiles.
+ make clean
Does not remove all generated files and directories.
Specifically, .mak,
.dep and the 'package' subdirectory.
+ quote: "Change directory to ti/sdo/ce/examples/servers and
type gmake clean"
Alright, but here is the output:
make -C video_copy clean
make[1]: Entering directory
`workdir/CE_2_00_examples/ti/sdo/ce/examples/servers/video_copy'
make -C evmDM6446 clean
make[2]: Entering directory
`workdir/CE_2_00_examples/ti/sdo/ce/examples/servers/video_copy/evmDM644
6'
rm -rf video_copy.x64P
ti_sdo_ce_examples_servers_video_copy_evmDM6446.tar *.obj package
package.* video_copy
make[2]: Leaving directory
`workdir/CE_2_00_examples/ti/sdo/ce/examples/servers/video_copy/evmDM644
6'
make[1]: Leaving directory
`workdir/CE_2_00_examples/ti/sdo/ce/examples/servers/video_copy'
make -C all_codecs clean
make[1]: Entering directory
`workdir/CE_2_00_examples/ti/sdo/ce/examples/servers/all_codecs'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`clean'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`workdir/CE_2_00_examples/ti/sdo/ce/examples/servers/all_codecs'
make: *** [clean] Error 2
+ the 'build_instructions' file directs the users to edit
user.bld and
xdcpaths.mak files, in addition to paths in GPP applications. It
fails to
mention the servers/video_copy/evmDM6446/makefile, which also
needs to be
edited (a bug?), and set the CGTOOLS directory again.
+ the 'build_instructions' file also fails to mention that a
compilation of
the 'extensions' subdirectory is required.
+ more troubles creating video_copy and all_codecs DSP servers:
$ make
...
js:
"/opt/dvevm/xdc_3_00_02/packages/xdc/cfg/Main.xs", line 170: exception
from uncaught JavaScript throw: Error: incompatible use of package
'ti.rtdx': imported ti.rtdx [2,0,0,1,1194024051755], ti.bios.utils was
built with ti.rtdx []
Adding the following line to
your configuration script:
environment['xdc.cfg.check.fatal'] = 'false';
converts this incompatibility error into a warning. Please,
check the documentation for the package xdc.cfg for more information.
...
(and where exactly is 'the documentation for the
package xdc.cfg' ?)
All of the above was done with latest packages available from
DVEVM update site.
Hope someone will take the time and fix these annoyances in
future releases (or correct
Me if I had done something wrong along the way).
