XDE won't run

Post by misterten »

Hi, my machines aren't able to getting started the development environment.

Machine 1 works with Windows 7 64 bit. There, I had to add the jre path to the xde.ini file: The error message dissapered though, there's no message or window coming up.

Machine 2 working with Windows XP doesn't need any addition to the xde.ini file. But neither any message nor window coming up.

Neither java update to version 7 fixed it. Changing Xmx1024m to Xmx512m or Mxm800m didn't help. In Windows 7 switching off UAC and rebooting didn't help. What's missing here?

Thanks a lot!

Installing a 32-bit version of Java did the trick here on Win 7 64
You might also want to install the tools in an other directory than "Program Files (x86)"
I believe GNU make has a bug that can't handle parentheses in the path. See http://okolovich.info/interruptexceptio ... xc00000fd/

As far as I understand, only in the path to the shell (the SHELL variable), and
only in make 3.82.

Unfortunately mingw seems to install sh in just such a path.

I'm using Win7 x64 and have it installed in C:\Program Files (x86).

I think I had to use the 32-bit version of Java.

Hey misterten,

I had a little trouble with the IDE at first as well & it sounds like you've run into the same issue I had, have you had a look at this post?


Hope this helps.

Installation of Java 32 bit and reinstallation of XDE didn't help. :( :?:

Which error message do you see if you launch xde from the command line ?

Ah, shame. Can you take screen-shots of any errors you are able to trigger, ale500's suggestion of running from the console should pick up on any which are missing exceptions.

Wow, perfect hint, guys!! Under concsole i found out that Java didn't set its path in Windows: It's running now!!! :P :P :P

And: I did set the path manually, but with 64-bit Java. I forgot to edit it after installing 32-bit Java. :)
But: Even the neweset Java 7 released this week didn't work in 64-it with XDE. :(
