Known Issue
When trying to export an EASY5 model as an FMU or generic DLL, it fails. Looking in the easy5_build.log file, it gives the following:
-- [10:38:37] Model generation completed successfully.
-- [10:38:37] Begin EASY5 external interface executable generation phase...
** ** [10:38:39]: local - Errors during execution of export process
but no other information is given about what went wrong. Looking through the other log files also gives no indication about what might have gone wrong.
Description
Cause:
This is indicative of a missing environment variable called "HOME" that is used by the EASY5 exporting script. When it can't find the environment variable, it aborts the script execution.
Solution:
The solution to this problem is to create an environment variable called
HOME
and set it to the location of the Windows user profile directory.
For Windows XP this is usually C:\Documents and Settings\<username>
For Windows 7 or 10 this is usually C:\Users\<username>
where <username> is the user's login name.
