Hi
Trying to build wxWindows-2.4.2 using makefile.sc, gets so far then
complains it can't open input file ..\..\lib\wx_sc.lib

I have looked in both wxWindows dir and dm dir for this file but can't find it.

I am using CD version of DM and updated to 8.40

Any help appreciated
Yeric

it should be built from the make -fmakefile.sc in C:\wx\wxWindows-2.4.2\src\msw

Hmmm then I am in the chicken and egg situation, becuase my build is failing due to this missing file :(

BTW I did not unpack wxWindows to C: I only have a very small partition for C: just to hold boot loaders, Windows goes on D, and my data on E, which is where I put wxWindows and pointed WXWIN to E:\wxWindows-2.4.2, which I guess is fine, as the build starts ok for a few mins then throws up the error a search of my entire computer does not find wx_sc.lib anywhere, so it has not tried to put it in C:\ anywhere :)

but it certainly seems to compile faster than MinGW

I tried the build initially using CVS sources using the 2_4_2 tag and got the same error, so I then installed from installer program and tried and still got the same error ( I did not install to same dir as cvs sources, but did change WXWIN )

BTW chris, your link for wxHatch is sort of broken, when you click it to download source, you get a 404 error, but when I click on directory view I can see the wx folder, but hovering the mouse over it points to snails, if I move the mouse pointer to just below wx which is blank, I can then get the wxHatch file I was after.

Any idea ho I can get out of this chicken and egg situation, somewhere it is trying to build something before it has built wx_sc.lib

Describe what you are doing exactly.

wx_sc.lib should be build BEFORE you build any of the samples or your own app.

I think you are mistaking two makefile.sc files.
IIRC there is one makefile file for building library and another one for
sample.

"C:" was only an example, it should hold whatever is in WXWIN variable

What you are building when wx_sc is reported to be missed ?

Hi Arjan,

This is exactly what I am doing

1. cd E:\wxWindows-2.4.2\src\msw from cmd32
2 make -f makefile.sc clean
3 make -f makefile.sc
...
...
.

lots of stuff happening, .obj files are flying through the window yep dm is damned fast :)

Build Error ( sorry not at computer at home can't find error number )

Unable to open file for reading wx_sc.lib <-- this does not exist anywhere

If only I could get this far :)

If you want, I will get the error number when I get back home

I am building this file from %WXWIN%\src\msw\makefile.sc, this is the only makefile in this directory

afaik the libs, I am building from %WXWIN%\src\msw
WXWIN points to E:\wxWindows-2.4.2

It would be best to know whole output because earlier operations in makefile.sc can influence further output. Would be interesting to know OS in case some shell issue makes difficoulties.

Seems OK to me.

Do the same procedure again, the error will occur. Go on and do:

4. make -f makefile.sc >> E:\error.txt <enter>
5. @echo "-----------------------env---------------------" >> E:\error.txt <enter>
6. set >> E:\error.txt <enter>
7. @echo "-----------------------make--------------------" >> E:\error.txt <enter>
8. make -v >> E:\error.txt <enter>

post the file e:\error.txt to this forum.
