在Eclipse CDT中构建OpenFrameWorks项目时，Raspberry Pi崩溃

Question

I'm working on a Raspberry Pi 3 with OS Raspbian Jessie. I'm using Eclipse CDT (for C/C++) and am trying to learn about OpenFrameWorks: http://openframeworks.cc/

I installed everything according to the guides and imported everything to Eclipse. I thought it seemed to work out, but when I try to run some test-code I get the error "Unable to launch, binary not found." I look it up and find a potential solution, that I have to build the actual project first.

This is my problem, when I try to build the project Eclipse gets to about 20% and then the entire Raspberry freezes, forcing me to force a restart. How can I continue from here on out? I don't know if I still should try to build the project through Eclipse or if there is another way to actually run some test code for OpenFrameWorks.

I don't know if this is the best place to ask about this, but I'm thankful for all answers.

Answer 1

Eclipse is super slow on Raspberry Pi. I recommend using the provided setup scripts to install dependencies. After you compile OF , use make files to compile projects.

In terms of editing code, I recommend using a light weight text editor (geany for example). I've tried CodeBlocks and Qt Creator, which are faster/less resource intensive than eclipse, but still pretty heavy for a system with limited resources.

Another option is to combine your computer the RPi:

1. Use projectGenerator to generate a project for both Raspberry Pi and your computer/IDE
2. Edit/test/iterate on your computer
3. When ready to run on RPi, sync the project using your preferred method(eg SSH/SFTP/git/etc.), then use make -j4 (to use all 4 cores) in the RPi project folder.

The pro is you the quick compile/feedback times you're used to on your computer. The con is this method won't work for RPi specific code (eg accessing GPIO, PiCamera, etc.)

Another option is to setup cross compilation , but getting everything ready is a bit laborious. (Although, once it's done, it saves time on the long run).
