From xace to ecf

[Heiko Gering]

Is there an easier way to get an ecf file from xace then editing?
The background is, that I'm going to use the goanna library, especially the
SOAP interface, but goanna only provides xace files.

You should be able to get an Ace file (the former format) from the XACE file and
then EiffelStudio will convert it into an ECF file.

Thank you Manu,
I'll try that. But I run into another problem.
While trying to compile the goanna library with the precompilation wizard I
get an goanna.ecf file not valid error. The formal xml notation seems to be
ok and the defined libraries are all installed. What else I can check?

Note that goanna has an ECF file at:

https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/goanna/trunk/goanna/library/goanna.ecf

As for the error, it should give you the location of the error or an error message
explaining the error.

Hi Manu,
I've found goanna.ecf and use it. I've tried ec -precompile -config
goanna.ecf. The message is: This projekt contains no compileable target.
I thought that  <target name="goanna"> is the name of the target. Maybe I
misunderstood something, but GOBO contains  <target name="gobo"> and it
precompiles.
What should I check else?

Thanks and regards
Heiko

To precompile goanna and need to make sure that ANY is specified as the root
class, this is what is meant by the error message.
