cant build with makefile.gcc

[umen]

Hello all
i fallow this tutorial :
http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php ... etup_Guide

but im getting this error :

Code: Select all

$ mingw32-make  -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 USE_ODBC=1
if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_lib mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_lib
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
mingw32-make: *** [..\..\lib\gcc_lib] Error 258

im using :wxMSW-2.8.7 and $ gcc --version
gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw special)
what im doing wrong here ?

thanks

if you compile with mingw32, you have to use mingw32-make within the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) and not a shell.

[umen]

im getting from cmd.exe:

Code: Select all

I:\cpp\gui\wxMSW-2.8.7\build\msw>mingw32-make  -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 USE_ODBC=1
if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_lib mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_lib
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
mingw32-make: *** [..\..\lib\gcc_lib] Error 2

what is wrong here?

[alchemist]

are you sure ? I see "/usr/bin/sh": this is abnormal...

[alchemist]

are you under linux ? In that case, you have to cross-compile wxWidgets

[umen]

no im under win2k , using cmd.exe

[alchemist]

but why do I see "/usr/bin/sh" ?

did you open the command prompt, and launch mingw32-make (and not make) ?

[alchemist]

which version of mingw32-make do you use ?

version 3.81 is buggy, you'll need version 3.80

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -v

[umen]

yes
i do start->run->cmd
then i cd I:\cpp\gui\wxMSW-2.8.7\build\msw
and run :

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 USE_ODBC=1 

or

Code: Select all

make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 USE_ODBC=1

it gives me the same error :

Code: Select all

I:\cpp\gui\wxMSW-2.8.7\build\msw>mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 USE_ODBC=1
if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_lib\mswud mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_lib\mswud
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
mingw32-make: *** [..\..\lib\gcc_lib\mswud] Error 2

what else can i try?

[alchemist]

and the version of minwg32-make ?

[umen]

im using :

Code: Select all

I:\cpp\gui\wxMSW-2.8.7\build\msw>make --version
GNU Make 3.81

ok i will try version 3.80
thanks

[alchemist]

yes, this version calls sh in place of running shell (cmd.exe in your case). And the syntax of the makefile is for cmd.exe, not sh

[umen]

still after downloading version 3.80

Code: Select all

I:\cpp\gui\wxMSW-2.8.7\build\msw>mingw32-make --version

im getting the same erorr :

if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_lib\mswu mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_lib\mswu
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
mingw32-make: *** [..\..\lib\gcc_lib\mswu] Error 2

what the hell...

[alchemist]

Try to uninstall all the mingw stuff, and follow this HOWTO : http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?ti ... _%28MSW%29

Thus, download only the strict necessary :
- gcc
- binutils
- mingw32-make
- win32api
- mingw-runtime

In your case, you don't need any POSIX-compatible shell (sh.exe).

Did you downloaded MSYS ? avoid it

thanks folks for the help
cygwin was in the path .. this was the problem
