arduino.exe shows splash screen and then exits #22

I just downloaded and compiled Xmegaduino on Windows 7 64-bit. The build succeeds, but when I try to start ardunio.exe, either through "ant run", double clicking on the exe file or running it from a cmd window, I just get the splash screen for a few seconds and then the program terminates.

In cmd "echo %ERRORLEVEL%" prints 1.

The normal Arduino 1.0.2 runs fine as downloaded from http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software works fine on this machine.

Any ideas on what is wrong?

I should maybe mention that I have no board plugged in as I wanted to try out the software before I buy a board. This seems to work fine for the normal Arduino software, but the instructions at http://www.akafugu.jp/posts/products/akafuino_x/usage/ mention that the board should be plugged in before starting the software. I do not know if this is important or not.

Hi Per,

sorry for the late reply.

About having a board connected, this is mainly to make sure you have the drivers for the board installed (FTDI drivers, same as older Arduino (before UNO))

I have successfully used Xmegaduino on Windows 7 64-bit, could you download the pre-compiled package from this link and test: https://github.com/akafugu/Xmegaduino/downloads

Hi Karl,

Thanks for replying. I Downloaded the precompiled version using your link and that starts fine. I am able to compile a sketch. (I am new to Github and I cannot find that download link anywhere around here except in your message.)

I have also got an Xmega-A1 Xplained board now. I guess the next step is to figure out how to get the LUFA USB code into the Xplained board to start using it from Xmegaduino.

Hi Per,

great to hear that it worked for you. If you figure out why your compilation didn't work (perhaps a missing library of some sort?) it would be great to hear.

They seem to have moved around things on github again, but there is a link in the README.mk (https://github.com/akafugu/Xmegaduino#installation), have to figure out how to make it more visible, suggestions are appreciated.

Cool, let me know how it goes with your board.

Closing this issue for now.
