Problem whne playing with bakefile

Do you have a question about makefiles, a compiler or IDE you are using and need to know how to set it up for wxWidgets or why it doesn't compile but other IDE's do ? Post your questions here.

Problem whne playing with bakefile

Post by romeo9423 »

Hi,

I am trying to learn bakefile and to start I wanted to regenerate projects for visual studio 2005 located in wxWidgets-2.8.7\build\bakefiles\.
So I have deleted the msw folder.


Then I have tried to type > bakefile_gen -B --formats msvs2005prj
but I get a 0 files modified and nothing happens.
After I tried with msvc as format and at the end bakefile shouts at me the following:


[123/137] generating msvc from wx.bkl
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Program Files\Bakefile\src\bakefile.py", line 197, in ?
run(sys.argv[1:])
File "c:\Program Files\Bakefile\src\bakefile.py", line 176, in run
if not writer.write():
File "c:\Program Files\Bakefile\src\writer.py", line 282, in write
f = __openFile(file)
File "c:\Program Files\Bakefile\src\writer.py", line 160, in __openFile
f = open(filename, 'w+t')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../msw/makefile.vc'
Error executing the script!
[bakefile_gen] error: bakefile exited with error

So from what I understand it's trying to open ../msw/makefile.vc but why because the goal is to generate this file .

A late response, but I had the same problem. The solution is to use the command:

<wxWidgets>\build\bakefiles\bakefile_gen -B -f msvc
