Version: LPCXpresso v6.1.2 [Build 177] [2013-11-28]

Hi,

I've got a new LPCXpresso installation (from a ZIP file, running on 64-bit Windows 8.1). Other generic versions of Eclipse are installed on the same PC.

When trying to install Subversive (i.e. SVN support) from the Juno update site via "Install new Software" I get the following error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software currently installed: LPCXpresso 6.1.2.201311280841 (com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross 6.1.2.201311280841)
  Missing requirement for filter properties ~= $0: LPCXpresso 6.1.2.201311280841 (com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross 6.1.2.201311280841) requires 'toolingcom.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross_root.win32.win32.x86 [6.1.2.201311280841]' but it could not be found

I'm not an Eclipse expert, but this looks like an installation issue related to LPCXpresso, but this is by no means certain.
I've attached my LPCXpresso configuration details.

Any work-arounds or fixes for this?

Thanks in advance,
OldManVimes

I know. It doesn't make any sense to me either.

I have not made any changes to either the .ini or the global Eclipse preferences.
I do have a Perl distribution in my path, but I doubt Eclipse is influenced by that.

The only reason I chose a different install dir is because my C: drive is particularly small.

Have you made any other changes to the installation? Specifically, have you changed any preferences or made changes to configuration/config.ini?

I cannot find any reason why mine should work, and yours does not.

Thanks for your help so far.

I changed the installation directory from the default to C:... to D:\pr\nxp
The workspace is located in the default location on C:\Users\.....
My virus scanner is the default Windows defender. It appears to play nice. Some scanners really have an issue with .jar files. To prevent performance issues, I've excluded the JRE and eclipse folder hierarchy from scanning. I do have at least one other Kepler Eclipse installation, but it was installed from a .ZIP file so it does not modify path settings etc. so it should not interfere.

I'll attach the workspace log file. Note that the change in filename is because I modified the contents to protect the names of the innocent (i.e. me). At the bottom you see the last attempt at installing something.

By the way, I like the lpxpresso IDE. It is nice and clean and that helps the novice. Well done. I specially like the linker script abstraction. That can be daunting at first.

Regards,
Vimes

I just tried on my Windows 8.1 64-bit machine, and again it worked perfectly.

So, what is different about your installation? Where did you install LPCXpresso?
Have you changed anything from the default installation (added/deleted/changed any files etc?)
Where is your workspace?
Can you send the log file (<workspace>/.metadata/.log)

I cannot understand why it works here and not for you.

Many thanks for the feedback, but the problem is still there.
I re-installed LPCxpresso. Rebooted as asked and followed your Subversive installation instructions to the letter!

Result: same error. Actually, I always get this error when trying to install additional software. This is not limited/related to Subversive.
I do know a little bit about Eclipse and something in the error message caught my eye.

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software currently installed: LPCXpresso 6.1.2.201311280841 (com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross 6.1.2.201311280841)
  Missing requirement for filter properties ~= $0: LPCXpresso 6.1.2.201311280841 (com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross 6.1.2.201311280841) requires '[color=#f00]tooling[/color]com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross_root.win32.win32.x86 [6.1.2.201311280841]' but it could not be found

The word 'tooling' in front of 'com.crt' in the URI is unexpected. The installation does contain a .JAR file with that URI, but without the tooling prefix.
The .jar file is in '.\LPCXpresso_6.1.2_177\lpcxpresso\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core\cache\binary'

So I believe something is different in my setup since you got it to work. This might be OS specific. Mine in Windows (unfortunately) 8.1 64-bit.

Best regards,
Vimes

I just installed Subversive into LPCXpresso 6.1.2, with no errors:

[list]
  [*]Help->Install New Software
  [*]from the drop down, select the "Eclipse Juno Update site"
  [*](wait for the list to populate)
  [*]In the Filter, enter Subversive
  [*](wait while the list is filtered)
  [*]Select Subversive and install
[/list]

If you are still having problems, please list *EXACTLY* how you tried to install Subversive.

Have you tried subclipse? I have that installed in LPCXpresso and it works well.
