Compiling rtlib with devcpp

[helpy]

Hello,

I tried to compile rtlib (from cvs) with devcpp. All the files in the directory src/rtlib are compiled but it stopped with the first *.c file in src/rtlib/win32 with the following message:

Code:

...
gcc -c -O3 -I ./ -DTARGET_WIN32 -DTARGET_X86 libfb_time_timeset.c -o obj/win32/libfb_time_timeset.o
gcc -c -O3 -I ./ -DTARGET_WIN32 -DTARGET_X86 win32/libfb_file_dir.c -o obj/win32/libfb_file_dir.o
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:32:16: fb.h: No such file or directory
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:77: error: syntax error before "FBSTRING"
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:77: error: syntax error before '*' token
win32/libfb_file_dir.c: In function `fb_Dir':
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:79: error: `FBSTRING' undeclared (first use in this function)
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:79: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:79: error: for each function it appears in.)
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:79: error: `res' undeclared (first use in this function)
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:83: error: `filespec' undeclared (first use in this function)
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:96: error: `attrib' undeclared (first use in this function)
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:110: error: `fb_strNullDesc' undeclared (first use in this function)
win32/libfb_file_dir.c:118: error: syntax error before ')' token
make: *** [obj/win32/libfb_file_dir.o] Error 1

Then I changed the make file in line 24:

Code:

CFLAGS := -O3 -I ./

to:

Code:

CFLAGS := -O3 -I .

This way it compiled without an error!

I have no problems compiling rtl of fbc.

Here what I did:
1.) Make sure to set the proper makefile under the 'Project Options'
2.) Create the output directories (suppose this is what goes wrong in your case)
3.) Compile
4.) ENJOY

I didn't had to change the makefile at all.

Regarding point 2:
if your files are located at:
dev-cpp\projects\rtlib\
you have to create :
dev-cpp\projects\rtlib\obj\win32
for windows, or:
dev-cpp/projects/rtlib/obj/linux
for linux.

Also the following directory needs to be created:
dev-cpp\lib\win32\
otherwise libfb.a can't be generated.

Hope didn't forget anything.

I had to copy *.h from the rtlib folder to the rtlib/win32 folder to get it to compile here.

ad 1) I do not use the IDE of Dev-C++! In a batch file I set the path to:

Code:

@set PATH=D:\Programming\Dev-Cpp\bin;I:\...\...\FreeBASIC;%PATH%

Then I change to directory:

Code:

cd I:\...\...\FreeBASIC\src\rtlib

... and than I call make.

ad 2) I already created all output directories before

ad 3) Compiler is called by make


The problem is, that if I do not change the makefile, the compiler does not find the *.h files from directory ./src/rtlib because the *.c files in the directory ./src/rtlib/win32 does include:

Code:

#include "fb.h"

but instead I think it should include

Code:

#include "../fb.h"

if I change makefile (see my first posting) the compiler finds the fb.h file.

I had to copy *.h from the rtlib folder to the rtlib/win32 folder to get it to compile here.

This is a second solution! But compilation works, if I change the makefile.

OK! I found a way without changing the makefile and without copying the *.h files. I changed my batch file. Now it sets the environment variable

Code:

set C_INCLUDE_PATH=.

... before I call make. Than it compiles rtl without errors :-).
