Problems compiling Traffic library

Question

I attempted to install the Traffic library for the book "A Touch of Class" but was not able to compile the examples. EiffelStudio complained about a base2.ecf file. Error code: VD00

General configuration parsing error. What to do: fix the configuration file.

Could not open file: \base2.ecf $EIFFELBASE2\base2.ecf

base2.ecf is found in where Windows installed Eiffel: C:\Program Files\Eiffel Software\EiffelStudio 18.11 GPL\unstable\library\base2.ecf The offending line of code seems to be this in the Traffic configuration files:

I have attempted to change this configuration file pointing directly to where the file is, using the actual path, to no avail.

What happens exactly when you change the configuration file directly? — Alexander Kogtenkov, Apr 20 '19 at 14:55

Setting the variable EIFFELBASE2 might help:

set "EIFFELBASE2=C:\Program Files\Eiffel Software\EiffelStudio 18.11 GPL\unstable\library"

Then, EiffelStudio should be started from the environment where the variable is set.

(However, I wonder if this is the library to be used with the examples, or if there is another one that comes together with the examples.)
