Multiple makefile errors only in Eclipse [message #1860527] Sat, 12 August 2023 22:45 Go to next message

I have two make files that only differ in the file name.
One workes and one had errors on line 6, 11, and all following lines.

So I copied the working make file to the bad project and ran it with out any modifications, and got the same errors.
I have looked through all the project properties and can not find any differences. Also the run configurations appear to be the same( except for the file name).

If I go to a terminal(cygwin) and "make all" it works just fine. the exe file also works.
The makefile output:
make all
MAKE Version 5.43 Copyright (c) 1987, 2019 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.
Error makefile 6: Command syntax error
Error makefile 11: Command syntax error
Error makefile 12: Command syntax error
Error makefile 13: Command syntax error
O O O
all lines fail after #11.

I have seen several other request for help all with this same signature
(syntax #6, #11, ...).
I have not included the makefile because it does not seem to matter.

Any hints accepted with favor.
Cliff


Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Microsoft products.

Do both projects have the same project default encoding? Is the file maybe iso-latin encoded and then copied to a project that is UTF-8 encoded?

According to NotePad++ the encoding is UTF-8 for both.
Originally The one that worked was encoded with Unix style end of line
and the one that did not was DOS (windows) style end of line. I change the latter to Unix style EOL, with no change.
Nice catch but no joy.

I doubt it's line endings problems. The file might be UTF-8 encoded and you copied to a project that is windows-1252 encoded, which I think is still the default on Windows; look in the Properties... -> Resource from the project's context menu at that of the file itself. Are the files really byte-for-byte identical? In that case I seems to me it can only be an encoding problem...

Seam the same to me. Attached eclpise1 is the one that does not work and eclipse2 is the one that does.
Here are the error messages :
14:13:48 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project helloW2 ****
make all
MAKE Version 5.43 Copyright (c) 1987, 2019 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.
Error makefile 6: Command syntax error
Error makefile 11: Command syntax error
Error makefile 12: Command syntax error

The diff is the diff between the two makefiles.
If do the make in a cygwin window, it works see below.
--------------------
Cliff@Whitepine /cygdrive/e/Documents and Settings/Cliff/C code/C++/helloW2/src
$ make all
MAKE Version 5.43 Copyright (c) 1987, 2019 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.
Make1:O: C++ -o hello2.o hello2.cpp
C++ -O2 -g -Wall -fmessage-length=0 -m64 -c -o hello2.o hello2.cpp
Make1:T: C++ -o hello2.o hello2.cpp NEW hello2
C++ -o hello2 hello2.o
ALL Obj:: C++ -o hello2.o hello2.cpp ./hello2

Cliff@Whitepine /cygdrive/e/Documents and Settings/Cliff/C code/C++/helloW2/src
$ ls
hello2.cpp hello2.exe hello2.o Makefile
Cliff@Whitepine /cygdrive/e/Documents and Settings/Cliff/C code/C++/helloW2/src
$ ./hello2.exe
Hello World!!!
-------------------------
I have also tried dos2unix on this makefile. no joy.

OK I found the problem! (I think?)
See eclipse3
There is a Debug(now Default) directory and the makefile in that dir. is the problem.
I deleted the Debug dir. and ran the project. The Debug file reappears and I get the same errors. Under the projects->Environment I changed the CWD & PWD to be helloW2.
They remain as I set them. In the Configuration box (eclipse4) was set to 'Debug' was active. I made a new one 'Default'(eclipse5) and deleted the Debug one.
No Joy!
It still creates the a directory, now called, 'Defaults' with the same results.
How do I change the configuration? The configuration under the run+ does not change it. There is no Edit in the 'manage configurations' screen.

Update.
I accidentally deleted the workspace. Well that was my next move anyway.
Imported it again and it works! Joy, joy, joy.
I still do not know what was in those configurations or where they came from.
Update2: see eclipse6.
The Debug/Defaults directory is the result of having the 'Generate Makefiles automatically' check box in the D/D++ Build page(eclipse6).
Now, why the Eclipse generated make files fail, is another question.
