I am new to Mac so please excuse my stupidity...I downloaded these files to my mac desktop and I thought I installed them per the documentation,but when I try to use "Terminal" to navigate to the folder and run odatagen against our services, all I get is "command not found".  Yet, if I do an "ls", it sees odatagen just fine...here is the command I am running...

odatagen /uri=http://ourserver:port/service.svc /out=/Users/myuser/Desktop/Odataproxies

I'm sure I am doing something wrong, but if somebody could help me that would be great.

thanks

The reason is "odatagen" is not a command that is found in one of the command directories.

Use

echo $PATH

In order to run a program that is not in your PATH you must supply the path to the program.

/path/to/directory/.../odatagen /uri=http://ourserver:port/service.svc /out=/Users/myuser/Desktop/Odataproxies

./odatagen /uri=http://ourserver:port/service.svc /out=/Users/myuser/Desktop/Odataproxies

Thank you very much.  I was able to run this command, and it looks like it generates Metadata, but it errors  out before creating the Proxy classes.  I have pasted the error below.  I'm not sure what to do with it.  Do you have any ideas?  Thanks again.

Thanks Simmons...I tried building the Odatagen project, then navigating to the build folder to run it from there.  I still got the same error message...Thanks for trying to help.  If you have any other ideas, that would be great.

thanks again.

Mark,

What is the absolute path of odatagen

Also what is the absolute path of objc_implementation.xsl (in the xcode proj)

Ok - you are compiling to a location that odatagen is not expecting.

the 'build' directory must in in the same directory as the objc_imlementation.xsl file (and all other *.xsl files)

   -please note that build has a lowercase 'b'

You should be able to copy the program from

baerm/Desktop/OdataObjc/Framework/bin/OdatagenBinary/MacOSX10.6.sdk/odatagen

to

baerm/Desktop/OdataObjc/Framework/src/odatagen/build/odatagen

Please note that 'odatagen' on then end of each path is the actual executable.

Once you do that - the program should run and give you some output.

Thanks, Simmons...I copied the odatagen executable from the build folder over to the same folder as teh XSL file...Still got the same error.  I'll play with it some more today...Hopefully, I can get there soon.

Thanks again.

Simmons, I found the "build" directory and ran odatagen from there...I was able to generate the Proxy files...Thanks again for your help.

Sorry, one more question.  I have the proxy, but when I try to build, I get about 11 error messages and they have to do with the Libraries I reference from Odata, but I'm not sure how to fix this...Do you have any ideas?

Not sure what the problem is ... I think I would need a lot more info to solve that.

I am actually compiling the code myself. The code outputs all the data to the console as it retrieves it. I have large data sets so I cannot afford this inefficiency so I have removed this from the code and I am compiling it with my program.
