[Esbox-users] Problem about Project Location with Esbox in windows

[Ed.Swartz at nokia.com]

Hi Jerry,

   Sorry to bother you, but I'm encountered with a critical problem when using esbox to CREATE a Maemo C Project.

   I installed Esbox on Windows 7 and successfully got scratchbox & Maemo SDK running in a VMWare Ubuntu image. I used NAT in VMware. And I successfully passed the Build Machine Validation process. That means the shared folders worked as well, right?
[[[ejs]]] Yes, the tests should have validated that the shared folders worked, too.

   Whatever project location I entered in the textbox, the dialog just kept telling me
"The host path '(LOCATION LISTED BELOW)' is not visible in target Scratchbox 1 [DIABLO_X86].Be sure a shared folder mapping is defined."

   Here are the locations I have tried so far:

   D:/esbox/workspace/helloworldmake  (I have mounted this folder to ubuntu at /mnt/helloworldmake)
   \\MAEMO\scratchbox\users\maemo\home\maemo\workspace
   /mnt/helloworldmake
   //192.168.137.128/mnt/helloworldmake/<http://192.168.137.128/mnt/helloworldmake/>
   scratchbox\users\maemo\home\maemo\workspace

   After so many failed try, I've no idea how to solve it, I think there are some experienced users here and come for advice. Thank you in advance!
[[[ejs]]] Sorry that this UI is a bit confusing.  The path you enter in the New Project dialog should be a Windows path, so the first one is the closest to being right.  (The intent is to hide the Linux-ness of the build environment as much as possible.)

But the mount on the Ubuntu side must be inside /scratchbox, otherwise Scratchbox cannot "see" it.

The "shared folder mapping" in the error message refers to the Window > Preferences > ESbox > Build Machines > Shared Folders tab.  There should be a mapping there mirroring whatever shares you have configured.  We recommend using the default mappings since they allow multiple Scratchbox 1 SDKs to use the same folder.
Note that the shared folder does not have to be the same as the workspace or project location.

Hope this helps!

[[[ejs]]] -- Ed
