Question

I just cant get it to work - please help?

nickbungus opened this issue 3 years ago · 38 comments

Hi

I've been trying my best to get this to work for hours. I've followed the instructions as much as possible. I'm just trying to get the 'simple-project' example to work.

When I build I get an error saying 'Could not Load symbols file from cc65. It must have the same name as the d84/d64/prg file with .DBG extension.'

I cant get it to even build a prg.

Is there further configuration required to get the simple-project to build? Am I missing any other plugins etc?

Also, I have no idea what Jest code is either and where to find it. Is there a more simple example? Whatever happened to go old HelloWorld?

Sorry if I sound frustrated but it looks like such a great tool if I can get going?

Thanks Nick

Answer 2 · 2021-11-19T00:26:51.000Z

Can you try making the change to your launch.json linked above my comment? Also, delete every C file except for main.c, and replace main with

#include <stdio.h>
unsigned char main() {
    printf("hello world\n");

    return 0;
}

Sorry this is confusing. I'm using the project to run my tests against. I'll move it to a different place so it's less confusing.

Answer 3 · 2021-11-19T01:34:18.000Z

I pushed a change that removes the autodection, which often doesn't work properly. You will be required to add the two properties to your launch.json now.

Answer 4 · 2021-11-19T09:46:20.000Z

No need to apologise, I'm sure its my fault.

Still getting the error. I've updated the plugin, deleted all .c files except main, updated the main.c as requested and added the following 2 lines to my launch.json:
"debugFile": "${workspaceFolder}/simple-project.c64.dbg",
"mapFile": "${workspaceFolder}/simple-project.c64.map",
Heres my project folder if that helps: VSCodeHello.zip

And heres the terminal output when I try and build:

Answer 5 · 2021-11-19T13:00:50.000Z

It works for me after some finagling. A few things:

Remove NES from the targets in the Makefile if you don't need it. Using that will break some functions. I updated this in the new project template and mentioned for those that need NES support what to do to re-enable it. You may also want to remove PET.
The Makefile saves the program-related files to foldername.whatever, so if your folder name is VSCodeHello, you need to set it to

            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/VSCodeHello.c64",
            "debugFile": "${workspaceFolder}/VSCodeHello.c64.dbg",
            "mapFile": "${workspaceFolder}/VSCodeHello.c64.map",

~~I may consider changing this behavior to use a constant name if you find that this is what's causing you problems.~~ Done

If you're having trouble with the build, try using make.bat on the command line, or by launching with Ctrl+Shift+B. That may reveal more detailed output about what went wrong. Even if these other points help solve your problem, can you still try the batch to see what it does on your machine? I want to be sure it works correctly.

Dont worry at all about the questions, I'm very grateful for your help and effort

Answer 17 · 2021-11-20T10:48:07.000Z

Comparing your files against mine, somethings going wrong around the build make.exe process by the looks of it.

Its been a long time since I've done any C (uni days) with all the make files and headers and everything so I'm very rusty

Answer 18 · 2021-11-20T18:19:25.000Z

I hear you. I've avoided touching C since uni also. I only just recently got back into it because of this project and VICE.

I'm wondering what's going wrong. The script starts the build process using VSCode. We may need to try bypassing that and try running it directly. Can you try running this from the project folder using Powershell:

${env:CC65_HOME}=(Get-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.vscode\extensions\entan-gl.cc65-vice-*\dist\cc65").FullName
${env:PATH}=(Get-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.vscode\extensions\entan-gl.cc65-vice-*\dist\cc65/bin_win32_x64").FullName + ';' + ${env:PATH}
 & "$env:USERPROFILE\.vscode\extensions\entan-gl.cc65-vice-*\dist\mintty\bin_win32_x64\mintty.exe" --hold always "cmd.exe" "/S" "/K" "make.exe" "clean" "&&" "make.exe"

When you paste in the output, can you wrap it like this:

```powershell
The output
```

Without the quotes some characters will get eaten. I can go back and edit your posts though so it's not a big deal.

Answer 20 · 2021-11-20T18:40:20.000Z

I'm seeing the problem when I upgrade to your version of VSCode, but could you still follow the steps I listed above? I want to be sure it does work for you and that there aren't any other problems.

Answer 21 · 2021-11-20T18:46:27.000Z

Actually, one other thing. Can you change build.command to make.exe in your launch.json and try that? That would look like:

            "build": {
                "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
                "command": "make.exe",
                "args": [
                    "OPTIONS=mapfile,labelfile,debugfile"
                ]
            },

Please send me the output from that also (from the Building... terminal). I will rename make.bat to mk.bat so this collision won't happen.

Answer 22 · 2021-11-22T08:03:49.000Z

I should clarify, I am still able to build and run projects in the latest version of VSCode, but without the change I listed above the output won't show. Anything that spawns a new instance of VSCode for the build process, rather than calling make directly, won't show the output correctly, but it still seems to work.

Answer 23 · 2021-11-22T12:28:42.000Z

Ok. So I've changed the command to make.exe and now I get a .c64, a .dbg and a .map file. However it doesnt run at all. I renamed the .c64 file to .prg and it runs in VICE (as above)

${env:CC65_HOME}=(Get-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.vscode\extensions\entan-gl.cc65-vice-*\dist\cc65").FullName ${env:PATH}=(Get-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.vscode\extensions\entan-gl.cc65-vice-*\dist\cc65/bin_win32_x64").FullName + ';' + ${env:PATH} & "$env:USERPROFILE\.vscode\extensions\entan-gl.cc65-vice-*\dist\mintty\bin_win32_x64\mintty.exe" --hold always "cmd.exe" "/S" "/K" "make.exe" "clean" "&&" "make.exe"

So running from VSC code:

And then I get this after about 30 seconds:

Answer 27 · 2021-11-22T12:47:44.000Z

So to sum up, its now building correctly, it just isnt starting the debugger

Answer 28 · 2021-11-22T12:54:46.000Z

Can you please use this to record exactly what you're doing? Also switch between all the opened terminals so I can see their contents. Make sure you're using the latest c-project-template, and not simple-project. I made the changes we discussed earlier.

Edit: I didn't see your most recent messages.

Answer 29 · 2021-11-22T13:00:14.000Z

Do you have a firewall running? If so I would try turning that off.

Is the popup window ECONNREFUSED part of the same run as the VICE log you pasted? The reason I'm asking this is because the popup and the first log line says 29741, but the last log line says 29743.

What version of VICE are you using?

Does VICE start at all and just not autostart the program?

Answer 30 · 2021-11-22T13:47:48.000Z

Also, what happens if you try setting the port explicitly in your launch.json? Just set port to any port you're sure is free and hasn't been used before.

Answer 31 · 2021-11-22T14:16:32.000Z

Hi disabling the firewall, still the same.

Answer 32 · 2021-11-22T14:17:16.000Z

Vice does not start at all.
