GCC package missing DDEUtils module dependency

Now that my pandaboard is up and running I added in the riscosinfo autobuilt package source to !packman and installed the GCC package. When I double-click on !GCC it reports:

File ‘System:Modules.DDEUtils’ not found

My HardDisc4 image is the “Nightly Beta HardDisc4 2014-09-28” and I don’t see the DDEUtils module, so I’m presuming this is a broken dependency in the GCC package. Can someone tell me where to get the DDEUtils module, searching !Packman for ‘debug’ gives no results?

It is part of the DDE. There ought to be a free clone…

RMEnsure DDEUtils 0.02 Run <GCC$Dir>.Support.DDEUtilsCy.IFExist System:Modules.DDEUtils Then RMLoad System:Modules.DDEUtils
RMEnsure DDEUtils 0.01 RMRun <GCC$Dir>.Support.DDEUtilsCy.DDEUtilsCy
RMEnsure DDEUtils 0.01 %Obey -c <GCC$Dir>.Support.DDEUtilsCy.InitDDECy

My HardDisc4 image is the “Nightly Beta HardDisc4 2014-09-28” and I don’t see the DDEUtils module

Indeed it isn’t there, which is most odd, version 1.73 was present in 2014-09-20 and earlier! The good news is that same DDE version is in the OS5.20 HardDisc4 !Boot.

Thanks David. I can see it in the following place (just for the benefit of others):

/HardDisc4/Boot/Resources/System/310/Modules/DDEUtils

So I’m guessing this is an issue with the nightly beta image. Does this count as a ‘bug’, i.e. should I report it in the bugs section of RISC OS open?

Update: After copying DDEUtils from the stable HardDisc4 image GCC is working perfectly and compiles all the included examples

Bug alert. Conclusion. The DDE module is missing from the Nightly Beta HardDisc4 2014-09-28 06:49:46 download. (It was present in 2014-09-20.)

Does this count as a ‘bug’, i.e. should I report it in the bugs section of RISC OS open?

I would think this is a bug, but I would also think the report here would be sufficient.

Looks like some recent changes to the shared makefiles have caused a few issues (which have been going unnoticed due to a quirk with the way errors are handled for disc builds which I should probably fix).

The DDE module is now back in the Nightly Beta, many thanks.
