I'm running Eclipse 4.2.1 on 64-bit Windows 7. I have the Eclipse CDT plugin installed and can make C/C++ projects. I have sdcc installed (get a response on CL with sdcc --version
). I have downloaded this version of the plugin:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-sdcc/files/latest/download?source=dlp
Unzipped, and put all the contents of the features and plugins folders in to my corresponding Eclipse install's features and plugins folders. (followed instructions from http://mihirknows.blogspot.com/2007/10/installing-sdcc-under-eclipse.html).
I restart Eclipse, go to File>New>C Project. Select MCS51 family (SDCC) under Project type and SDCC Tool Chain under Toolchains. Click next, leave Release and Debug selected, click Finish. Error Creating Project box pops up. Says Project cannot be created Reason: Internal Error: I click on the Details button and it says java.lang.NullPointer.Exception. (Would have included a screencap, but I no haz the reputation yet > _<)
I've also seen this post: Eclipse with SDCC plug in - always has an error of java.lang.NullPointerException They only suggest downloading the same zip I used.
