HP Fortify menu is missing after install - visual-studio-2017

I installed HP Fortify 17.20. I have clicked Next to all steps in the wizard, so all the options are default.
The problem is that the Fortify top-level menu is missing in VS2017. I am thinking this might be because the addin was installed in a wrong folder, or maybe it got disabled.
But I have no idea how to check what exactly went wrong. Any suggestions?

It was a stupid mistake on my part, I reran the installed and made sure to check the VS2017 plugin for installation, and everything ran fine after that. I had assumed it would be installed by default but I was wrong.

CodeLite won't detect (installed) MinGW -- and will not compile even with manual configuration

I installed CodeLite and was rightfully put in the direction to install MinGW. I installed MinGW right from where CodeLite suggests/links to it and everything went well there. I then click "scan" on CodeLite to find the just installed compiler and it says it can't find any on the system -- lost already here.
I then just tried to configure the directory of the compiler to one which is provided with MinGW, such as gcc. I try to compile any basic hello world or such and get the error that, "The system cannot find the file path specified." When trying by default it would compile even before actually properly setting up the compiler, so it seems completely backwards on the face of it. Maybe it's some cross/directory issue?
The log shows CMD.exe looking to cd to some weird/incorrect directory. I've changed environment variables to only include MinGW's path and the issue persists. I've changed around global settings/include paths/build settings to point to the compiler, but it just won't get past this.
Aside from manual setup not working and CodeLite being unable to find MinGW despite it being 100% verified and installed properly, I am basically lost here.
I have prior programming experience, but usually with everything out of the box. I'm now trying to get back in but wanted to learn the process of setting up a compiler/getting more "hands on."
I'm pretty sure it's something set up wrong by me, but the problem is clearly that I have no idea what.
CodeLite does not need the compiler to be in the path. You can "tell" CodeLite where it is installed by pointing it to the right folder from Settings->Build Settings
See this wiki page, note that the build settings dialog is a bit outdated, the drop down button does not exist anymore, instead you have a toolbar with green + button, click it instead.
Once you added the compiler, right click on your project and and select Project Settings, under the General tab, choose the compiler you just configured.
I had the same issue where I had MinGW installed and working, then I downloaded CodeLite and went into the setup wizard, where it could not find MinGW.
Essentially the fix I found was closing and re-opening CodeLite.
I saw on the CodeLite site that the compiler should not be in a folder path with spaces in it, so I moved my compiler from "Program Files" to "ProgramFiles" and manually pointed to it using Settings -> Build Settings. However, CodeLite's scan still couldn't find it until I restarted it.
Then I moved my compiler back to its original folder and restarted CodeLite again, it worked.

VSCode "go to definition" not working

I installed Visual Studio Code 1.1 with the C/C++ extension,
opened my C++ project and tried to use "Go to definition" in vain.
The "Go to definition" is not working at all.
Example, go to definition of a class member:
int i = m_myVar;
(I opened a simpler project with one file and it was working for this one)
In the end, what I want is good indexation of my big project, is there a way to install Intellisense?
I had a the same issue: F12 and Ctrl + Click and Right Click "Go To Definition" wasn't working.
The fix for me was:
Go to Extensions
Click "Disable All Installed Extensions"
Close and Reopen VS Code
Back to Extensions and "Enable All Extensions"
Essentially enable/disable all extensions fixed the issue.
I recently came across this same issue and after trying all of the suggested solutions I could find with no success, I found this article:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux#_visual-studio-code-is-unable-to-watch-for-file-changes-in-this-large-workspace-error-enospc
Basically my project grew too large and VS code was no longer able to track all files, which messed up the "go to definition" functionality.
After following the steps on the link to increase the maximum number of files to be tracked, the issue was resolved.
The correction is pretty simple (tested on Ubuntu 18.04):
Add this line:
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
to the end of the file /etc/sysctl.conf
After saving, run the following command:
sudo sysctl -p
Hopefully this will be useful to someone else, this has been bothering me for the last few days.
I had a similar problem except with Python and google searches for solutions kept bringing me back to this post so I figured I'd post my solution here in the hopes that it might help other people.
I was working on a remote cluster through VScode Remote and was getting similar errors to the original question(all 'go to ___' functionality was unavailable and was even getting a 'too large to track' error) and I thought I had to increase the number of watches, which didn't end up helping.
All I needed to do was install a python interpreter on the remote VScode server. This fixed my problem.
I believe vscode 1.1 (well, 1.1.1 actually) + the C++ extension (cpptools) is as much Intellisense as we can get for now.
You should load your big project with the "open folder" function to make vscode know about the other files.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/03/31/cc-extension-for-visual-studio-code/ warns about letting the indexing finish first (red icon in lower right corner during indexing) and mentions the current limitations on the source code parsing.
It wasn't working on my laptop as well after installing a few VSCode extensions. I decided to close and re-open VSCode with administrator permission and suddenly it sorted out.
I have been trying to fix this for a long time. In the end, what worked for me was simply reinstalling VSCode, then installing the latest C/C++ extension (v0.18.1). Then, in your .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json file, under includePath, add your include folder which has all your header files.
I tried the methods mentioned in this thread none of them seemed to work for me. A simple solution that worked for me is that I closed the current workspace and created a new workspace, added the folders which I required(same as the old workspace), and saved the new workspace. Waited for a couple of minutes to index and IntelliSense is able to find definitions now.
I am using VSCode 1.52.1 on Ubuntu 20.04.
In my case, for whatever reason,c_cpp_properties.json has become set to Disabled in ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json.
Manually changing it to Enabled solved the problem.
Fixed mine by UNCHECKING C_Cpp > Default > Limit Symbols To Included Headers
Your mileage may vary. Good luck!
Have you saved your workspace? Or did you just open a folder with File->Open Folder? This question already has many answers, but none of them address this case, which was my issue.
The question is not specific enough for me to know if you are having the exact same symptoms as my case.
If:
You have not saved your workspace. vscode doesn't say "(workspace)" at the top of the window.
None of the goto functions are working, but instead report: "No ___ found for ____"
The tag parser database icon in the bottom right is always there but only reports "Parsing open files", rather than telling you how many files have been parsed.
Then:
Try saving your workspace.
If you have multiple versions of a language on your PC, specify the exact language you are using in the VScode(in my case, I am using Python, so I must specify the version to the python Interpreter in VS Code)
If you could not do it whatsoever, then uninstall all the other versions that you don't use and then if you go to VS Code, it will ask the version to be used, and you would have only one version, so when you select the version, the "Go To Definition" will be activated.
I was having a similar issue with java on Ubuntu 20.04 using OpenJDK version 11 (openjdk-11-jdk in apt). At first I didn't have the JRE installed, so I installed it and it still didn't work.
Afterwards, I went to the CTRL + SHIFT + P menu and then to Java: Configure Java Runtime, there I saw in the Java Tooling Runtime tab that /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64 was selected, changed it to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 just to see if it would work, and after a restart it did. I'm not sure why this is, but I hope it may help somone else.
For python ensure your code analysis settings are correct. In my case the languageServer was accidentally set to 'None'. Reverting it to 'default' or 'pylance' did the trick.
Just to inform if none of above works then
In my case i was using Kite extension in my VS code, I just disabled it and it worked. I think kite extension is blocking this feature.
OS: Linux Ubuntu 22.04
if you encountered with following error:
"The .NET Core SDK cannot be located. .NET Core debugging will not be enabled. Make sure the .NET Core SDK is installed and is on the path."
Normally Vscode remains unable to locate .Net sdk. need to set path manually.
sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/dotnet
restart omnisharp & restart vscode
No need to do anything. Just close and re-open. It will work.
I also faced similar problem. In my mac os cmnd + 'click' is used to 'go to definition' then it suddenly stoped working. If that is the case then please follow these steps:
restart vs code
restart pc
uninstall all extensions and reinstall again followed by a pc restart.
I had a similar issue with the extension C/C++ installed. I solved it by downloading an older version of the extension and upgrading to the last version. Somehow it solved the problem...

Qt crashes when I try to execute any program

I've looked for an answer during a few days and I haven't found anything similar anywhere;
I downloaded Qt from the official website, installed it and apparently compiling is fine. But whenever I try to execute (Ctrl+R) any app, even the basic one which only displays a window or widget, QtCreator itself crashes. No error message, nothing, just crashing.
I've tried to redownload and reinstall it a few times with different settings, but nothing will do.
I'm running QtCreator on Windows 7 64 bits. I'll try on my laptop which is also running windows and will update if I find anything.
Any help would be appreciated, I need to start a project as soon as possible. I'm relatively new to QT and if you need info on anything just ask me. Thanks :)
Use dependency walker, http://www.dependencywalker.com/
and post any missing dependencies. It is possible some install targets or options are missing from when you installed QtCreator, which can be resolved with the maintenance tool in the same directory you installed Qt.
Also, are you using the Visual Studio compiler(must have Visual Studio installed separately, and mark the option during install), or the Ming compiler(2 options checked during install or maintenance)?
Check if your antivirus is locking it, I had a similar issue time ago and it was due to antivirus (Avast specifically). Disable antivirus' realtime shields and try to execute a basic app.
It is necessary to use QtCreator? I use QtDesigner snd VS2013 and things go very well. :)
check this thread Qt Creator Plain C++ Project won't run/debug... and this C++ - QtCreator doesn't show any output

Can't run C++ in NetBeans: "No Shell Found" error

I'm trying to learn C++ using NetBeans but even though I have CYGWIN and everything set up in my PATH, I keep getting an error that says: "No shell found. Cannot proceed. Please install either CYGWIN or Msys."
I don't know what Msys is but since the error says "or" I assume that if I have CYGWIN that I don't need to have Msys.
I'm trying to run the basic "Hello World!" tutorial but this error from what I've seen isn't covered. I'm getting aggravated because I have a project I need to have done in a few weeks.
If anyone has any answers for me, that would be great. I can supply screenshots if you need them.
Cygwin alone is not enough, first of all you have to check if you installed C++/gcc/gdb packages in your Cygwin.
From Cygwin/Net beans docs:
Open the Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel) and double-click the System program.
Select the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables.
In the System Variables panel of the Environment Variables dialog, select the Path variable and click Edit.
Add the path to the cygwin-directory\bin directory to the Path variable, and click OK. By default, cygwin-directory is C:\cygwin. Directory names must be separated with a semicolon.
Click OK in the Environment Variables dialog and the System Properties dialog.
If it fails you could try to Re-Install Netbeans from/within an cygwin/bash instance start the netbeans from a cygwin/bash instance.
Netbeans should automatically detect gdb/g++
PS: I'd prefer to use a good Gnu/Linux distro
I had the same problem with 8.1.
Adjusting the %PATH%-variable - in my case adding C:\msys64\usr\bin - solved it (as wdavilaneto's slightly verbose answer suggested).
This is not an answer but it adds to this question, I know that isn't very objective but in this case there may be a problem with Netbeans. I have 7.3 so this could be the reason. I am getting the same error but it used to work just fine, then one day it just stopped working and couldn't find the Shell. I have everything you need to make C/C++ work for Netbeans and it was working, for a while too!
It is rather old, but I've had the same issue a moment ago. It "Solved itself" by Creating a new "welcome sample" project and then made it run, then went back to my original project and made it run again. For me, it solved the problem. Probably it is related to an issue with Netbeans as Cian said.
Btw, I'm with Netbeans 8.1.
Make sure the shell is in your path! Depending whether you have Cygwin, Mingw32, Mingw32, TDM Mingw... it will be somewhere here:
c:\<installation path>\usr/bin
Hmh, I have 2 C compilers one for 64bit and one for 32bit set in NetBeans. When I had 32bit compiler without 64bit one then compiling went fine but when I have installed 64bit then NetBeans has started to do some problems, firstly everything went fine but then I started to get this problem to. For me fix is to switch from 64bit compiler back to 32bit compiler, then compile my program and then go back to 64bit compiler and now I can compile it with 64bit compile... Not sure why is this fixing it.
I have this problem with Netbeans 10.
Computer is Windows 10 x64.
Resolved by following the answer given by TNT.
Problem was when start building my project the said "no shell" (the topic of this posting) dialog box popped up. Since there was no command prompt, the build tools cannot run - process cannot spawn.
Solution was to give the correct path (environment variable). Since I am using MSYS, Since I am using MSYS, adding
F:\msys64\usr\bin
to my PATH made it work.

Run/Build grayed out in Monodevelop

What the title says. All options in the "Build" tab are grayed out, and run and debug are grayed out in the "Run" tab. I can fix it by giving mono root, but I'm not too keen on having that as a permanent solution.
I have tried creating a new "Hello world" solution just for testing, tried different project file formats(vs 20xx, mono 1.0), reinstalling mono, installing/uninstalling monodevelop-debugger-gdb...
I've been able to run programs before, no idea what happened.
Using linux mint 12 and monodevelop 2.6
Any other info you might need?
I suggest you upgrade to the latest Monodevelop version (3.04). In past releases there was a little bug that allowed what you describe to happen. In my experience it was project specific, meaning, when happened, happened only in one project, usually the last one I was working on.
In the meantime here is a simple workaround to use when that problem happens:
When that happened to me in the past (using version Monodevelop 2.6 on Ubuntu) I found that if I open, compile and run successfully another project, and then go back to try and compile the problematic project (in which the 'Build' options were greyed out) - the problem is solved and all 'Build' menu options become be available again.
I don't know what the bug was, but as I mentioned above, I did not experience the same bug in Monodevelop 3.04, so I recommend you upgrade.
Hope that helps!
