i installed everything acording to the howto here in the wiki

i have win2000 on my machine installed the 3 .net products acording to the win32 c compiler installation page installed eiffel studio 57 got everthyng from the svn compiled the libraries

when compiling the eiffel studio the following error occurs:

  big_file_C1_c.c
  1 Datei(en) kopiert.
  emain.c
  1 Datei(en) kopiert.
  /usr/bin/link: invalid option -- S
  Try `/usr/bin/link --help' for more information.
  NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'D:\Programme\cygwin\bin\link.EXE' : return code '0x1'
  Stop.

the same error occurs when i try to compiel a eiffel project from the downloaded eiffel studio... any ideas help ??

There seems to be a problem with the paths and the wrong link command is used. Try to change the order of the paths so that the linker from the microsoft compiler is found before the linker in the cygwin environment.

try 2

thx for the fast response ok, i changed my path and put cygwin at the end:

next error:

  big_file_C1_c.c

sorry wont be able to compile again until after eastern

Looks like the runtime was not compiled. See the instructions at Compiling EiffelStudio.

FoB 11:23, 18 April 2006 (CEST)

when i compile the runtime i get 10 errors "path not found" it looks like the following line is guilty of producing this error

  "%MSVCDir%\bin\nmake" %1

i added the following line to the file configure.bat (i tried both nmake i have on my computer)

  set MSVCDir=D:\Programme\psdk;C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin
  set MSVCDir=D:\Programme\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0;C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin

unfortunatly i now get 10 times the following error:

  Die Syntax für den Dateinamen, Verzeichnisnamen oder die Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch.

Patrickr 17:09, 18 April 2006 (CEST)

You have to give a single path, not a list of paths. The correct path should be C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin

FoB 19:43, 18 April 2006 (CEST)
the problem is, that nmake.exe is in psdk folder and the cl.exe is in the VC\bin folder if I only give a singel path either nmake or cl aren't found. giving a set of pathes both executables are found, but still the syntax error occurs...

FoB 08:51, 25 April 2006 (CEST)
my problem is solved :-)
manus has posted the solution on the es-devl mailinglist (link).
you need to get this file (windows-msc-x86-2005) and replace the existing one: %EIFFEL_SRC%/C/CONFIGS/windows-msc-x86

mkdep not found

while compiling the run-time on linux I get the following error:

  /bin/sh: /home/manus/local/56dev/C/mkdep: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (file or directory not found)
  make[2]: *** Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Target »MTidrs.o«,
    benötigt von »all«, zu erstellen.  Schluss.
  make[1]: *** [subdirs] Fehler 1
  make: *** [all] Fehler 2

I don't have any idea why it looks for mkdep in that directory.

Manus 9:25, 26 April 2006 (PST)

This errors is harmless if you do not change the dependencies of the runtime header files. If you do, make sure to update this value to $EIFFEL_SRC/C/mkdep so that the generated Makefile has the proper dependencies.

Eiffel Delivery

In the whole Compiling EiffelStudio Routine there is no word about building Eiffel Delivery. Here's the instructions for linux from the es-devel mailinglist:

To build the minimal repository of the compiler, do the following checkout:

mkdir Eiffel57
cd Eiffel57
svn co /trunk/Delivery/studio
svn co /trunk/Delivery/eifinit

cd studio/spec
mkdir $ISE_PLATFORM
mkdir $ISE_PLATFORM/bin
mkdir $ISE_PLATFORM/include
mkdir $ISE_PLATFORM/lib

cp unix/* $ISE_PLATFORM/bin
rm -rf unix

cd $EIFFEL_SRC/C/run-time
cp *.h $ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/include
cp ../config.sh $ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/include
cp lib* $ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/lib
cp x2c $ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin
cd ..
cp ipc/daemon/estudio $ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin

mkdir $ISE_EIFFEL/studio/help/defaults/$ISE_PLATFORM
mv $ISE_EIFFEL/studio/help/defaults/unix/*
$ISE_EIFFEL/studio/help/defaults/$ISE_PLATFORM
rm -rf $INSTALL_DIR/studio/help/defaults/unix

compiling errors

I get errors while compiling ES:

  gcc: /home/maser/eth/semester4/Software_Architecture/eiffelsoftware/57dev//C/bench/libmtcompiler.a: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  gcc: /home/maser/eth/semester4/Software_Architecture/eiffelsoftware/57dev//C/ipc/ewb/libmtewb.a: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  gcc: /home/maser/eth/semester4/Software_Architecture/eiffelsoftware/57dev//C/ipc/shared/libipc.a: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  gcc: /home/maser/eth/semester4/Software_Architecture/eiffelsoftware/57dev//C/platform/libplatform.a: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  make: *** [ec] Fehler 1

Of course it says that I should get errors and I do the thing with sed and get:

  gcc: /home/maser/eth/semester4/Software_Architecture/eiffelsoftware/57dev//C/bench/libmtwcompiler.a: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  gcc: /home/maser/eth/semester4/Software_Architecture/eiffelsoftware/57dev//C/ipc/ewb/libmtewb.a: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  gcc: /home/maser/eth/semester4/Software_Architecture/eiffelsoftware/57dev//C/ipc/shared/libipc.a: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  gcc: /home/maser/eth/semester4/Software_Architecture/eiffelsoftware/57dev//C/platform/libplatform.a: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  make: *** [ec] Fehler 1

This isn't normal, is it?

Looks to me that the run-time in C was not properly compiled. Can you check that ./quick_configure generates all the above without errors?

--manus 23:46, 2 May 2006 (CEST)

Well, i get the mkdep not found error. How harmless is that error? If I do a find . -iname "*.a" I get nothing, so I guess it doesn't generate the files. (I get the same error with the automatic build script)
