Re: [ptp-dev] Exception encountered with performance tool integration

[Wyatt Spear <wspear@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

It looks like the issue here is that the make-manager
expects a definition for 'allcompilers' as well as the specific CC,
CXX and F90 compilers.  I will look into making that an optional
element.  But for now, just include this line with your other compiler
definitions and it should avoid the error:

<allcompilers command="" group="ppw"/>

Please let me know if you encounter any more issues or if I can help with anything else.

Regards,
Wyatt Spear

I am finally allocating some time again to the integration of our Parallel Performance Wizard tool with PTP by way of the External Tools Framework (ETFw).  After installing what I believe to be the latest versions of the relevant plugins with Eclipse 3.4.1, I am encountering an issue when trying to invoke a Profile Configuration using our tool.  Specifically, a null pointer exception is thrown and the message
 'Instrumenting/Building' has encountered a problem.
appears.

I'd appreciate any help in nailing down this problem.  I will probably work on getting my Eclipse setup going to build PTP itself, so I may try to track down the problem... but I am not currently up to speed on the relevant internals.

Thanks,

I am using the following Eclipse and plugin versions:

Eclipse version 3.4.1 (build M20080911-1700)
CDT version 5.0.2.200901090802
PTP version 2.1.1.200901091901

Here are the error details from the error log:

-------
java.lang.NullPointerException

And this is the tool XML file I am trying to use:
