Can't build extension - DefinedStringIterator cannot find symbol - not sure how to debug

[evm-sec]

Hi - I'm trying to rebuild CodeCut (github.com/JHUAPL/CodeCut) for Ghidra 11.4 using Eclipse/GhidraDev- and get the following error that DefinedStringIterator is not defined. Eclipse shows no errors or issues - DefinedStringIterator appears to be defined in SoftwareModeling.jar so Eclipse is happy with that. I'm not sure how to debug the issue with gradle - is there a recommended process for errors like this? Confusingly a colleague is able to build fine on his Eclipse/gradle.

This may be obvious, but it appears that gradle does not have the compile classpath setup correctly. When I go to debug an issue like this, I resort to print statements in gradle. I would try to establish the full compile classpath for that particular project and verify that SoftwareModeling.jar is there.

That class was introduced in 11.4, but it looks like you are building against 11.2.

sorry, pasted the wrong picture - I get the same result building against 11.4

[ryanmkurtz]

Can i see the picture?

This was a fun little diversion - for whatever reason it's using the 11.3.1 buildExtension.gradle and the 11.3.1 classpath even when the project is linked against 11.4

11.3.1 is not even one of the Ghidra installations listed in Ghidra Dev -> Ghidra Installations :-D

OMG...I figured out what I did...on another project we are running Ghidra headless, so I had GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR defined to 11.3.1, and must have run Eclipse from that terminal. So I guess the shell environment var overrode the Eclipse settings somehow.

Thanks for bearing with me - at least I've learned now how to print things in the gradle scripts.
