I tried to compile euphoria 4.0 under windows xp, following instruction from the wiki but I got this error at the
wmake -f makefile.wat clean

makefile.wat(52): Error(E32): Opening file (config.wat): No such file or directory Error(E02): Make execution terminated

Where can i get the most recent Eu v4, with all the bells and whistles, right now?

My neighbor is getting worse about harrassing me, the internet costs money i could be spending on getting out of the usa faster.

Mostly to do with the legal system here: i have no property rights, the neighbor's dogs run everything, i cannot legally defend myself from them even with words to the effect of "go home!", no one will hire me, my words mean nothing because humans equate "spinal cord injury" with "brain dead". I can't even get lawn mowing companies to mow my yard, while they do mow neighbor's yards. The local library would prefer i not check out books, because they "know" i can't read them (altho one librarian claimed i had memorised all of Unauthorised Windows 95 as someone read it to me, page numbers and contents included).

The neighbor has been turning dogs loose on me for 10 years, on my property, and two judges told him not to, that he was breaking the law, but he still does it. After court last week, he climbed my fence to break off a toothpick deep in the driveway gate padlock. Tonite, he has a huge trash fire out there, even tho we are still in a fire alert, and it's illegal to burn trash anyhow, and it's also against the land covenants, and ADEM previously cited him for it twice. The smoke is so bad it occasionally causes me a trip to the emergency room, and i have no insurance (all that money was spent on lawyers). They routinely trespass, and take down a portion of my fence on my property, and the DA's office will prosecute ME if i videotape my property to get evidence against him.

Last court case, last week, the neighbor said under oath 3x that it took a 1200ft/sec bullet 3 sec to travel 75ft, she said her daughter heard and saw everything that went on that day but the daughter said she was asleep on the couch with the tv on and saw nothing, and the neighbor said the dog was loose with no fence and no leash when i shot at it on my property as it lunged at me. Yet i am the one in trouble. I was also told by the DA's office i cannot use a stick, a rock, a loud voice, a camera with a flash, or pepper spray to defend myself on my property from a dog known to come after me. Or i'd be in more trouble. And 2 judges said they will not look at video of the dogs on my property attacking me.

Life may not be better anywhere else, but i hear it is better in Canada, and the middle of the oceans. At least i'll be self-reliantly portable in a boat.

Go to the url above, and get the latest windows binary. Then check out the trunk from sourceforge's svn:

$ svn co https://rapideuphoria.svn.sf.net/svnroot/rapideuphoria/trunk eu40

And you should be able to build using Watcom (once you've put the binary into your path).

I heartily disagree. The command line version isn't hard to find at all (no less than tortoise). I find the command line much easier to use, too (that includes under windows, where I started using svn). Of course, we both gave the same url. I recommend them all the time. With Tortoise, it's much easier to use mistakes. Especially if you've never worked with source control software before. I've had to clean up the mess that Tortoise makes several times.

Yes, if you have a mixed version tree, you're asking for trouble, and if you have problems, will likely be told to make sure the entire thing is up to date.

I will also add that for a new person, it is much easier to give instructions for command line and to follow instructions for the command line. For instance:

Type:

C:\ > svn co http://xyz.com/trunk xyz 
C:\ > cd xyz 
C:\xyz > config.bat 
C:\xyz > wmake -f makefile.wat 
C:\xyz > xyz.exe 

vs. something such as:

Click on Start > Programs > Tortoise. Once the dialog loads, select File > Check out. In the URL field enter: ... ... ...

The console tools are highly recommended by most people I know for reasons above and many, many, many more.

C:\ > svn co http://xyz.com/trunk xyz 
C:\ > cd xyz 
C:\xyz > config.bat 
C:\xyz > wmake -f makefile.wat 
C:\xyz > xyz.exe 

I can't disagree more. Oh well, perhaps.

They decrease productivity a lot, because it is far easier to type a couple things in the right fields (and there may be a dropdown of latest entries) which you point and ckick than typing it all on the cmd line. Plus, the need to remember or learn an environment which is never ever used in any other context. Not to mention some issues at time with scrolling the console text back.

Command line is more flexible, for sure, but it more often helps making mistakes than getting things done.

About the tortoise mess: the only area where I have seen this is conflict resolution; the builtin facility doesn't always do what you'd expect. Are cmdline tools any better for that? I have my doubts.

907 works fine for me, thanks. But it entailed updating makefile.wat, and I didn't touch Makefile. , as I cannot test it. This is most likely the problem you got (there is a new convert.e source file that needs being mentioned at various places).

By the way, I noticed that other build files for Borland/LCC/DJGPP have got quite out of sync. Can anyone (RDS?) look into this?

What's your environment? I just built 908 just fine (linux).

There are times when the includes must be the same version as the binary. When previously EUPHORIA implemented functions are converted into builtins, if you update the source and includes then you cannot compile.

On the other hand this time between 906 and 907, the include directory had to be updated with the source directory. So, I was trying to compile 907 and got an error: convert.e not found.

So, there are two things you need to try. Normally, I update the source first. Compile and then update the rest. That has worked since the 700 series.

The makefile doesn't update the rev.e file when needed because rev.e's rule doesn't have the dependency set in the makefile. One has to delete rev.e after each svn update.

I thought we were definitely dropping support for Borland and maybe dropping support for LCC.

I could not find the DJGPP Makefile, btw. Does it just use the unix Makefile?

I also would vote against it. It was never opened up, it is proprietary and and there are no bug fixes or updates available for it afaik. There are also some dirty hacks in the interpreter source code that are required to work around deficincies in the free Borland compiler.

I agree. I think we should stick with gcc and openwatcom.

Yes, it does.

You should make configure.bat do the equivalent of:

if sequence( dir(".svn") ) then 
    puts( fd, "SVNDIR=.svn\n" ) 
else 
    puts( fd, "SVNDIR=svn~1\n" ) 
end if     

And then put $(SVNDIR) as the dependency for rev.e. That will ensure the binaries will report the correct svn number at start up no matter which file system you are using.

Where is svn~1 or .svn referenced in makefile.wat / configure.bat? Can you point me to a line number?

I think the biggest problem is that it isn't referenced at all. Take a look at line 578 in makefile.wat. That's where revget.ex is called, but it doesn't reference any dir. It seems to me that the correct way to handle this is to add the .svn, and have the euphoria code adjust if it can't find it. Or, possibly, add a configure option. Either automatically detect it, or make the user tell us with something like with-fat, or whatever the troublesome filesystem is.

But don't you see that doesn't matter? Make will look at rev.e and see if it needs to be updated because it is correctly listed as an indirect dependency of the interpreter but since there are no dependencies revget.ex never gets called by make.

You need a dependency:

 
rev.e : .\$(SVNDIR)\entries 
	$(EX) revget.ex 

I was trying to build on a non-Microsoft file system. The value .svn is also svn~1 on any Microsoft file system but on my third party driver it doesn't do that.

Try this:

mkdir .foo 
dir foo~1 
 El volumen de la unidad E es TEMP 
 El número de serie del volumen es: 50B3-8A45 
 
 Directorio de E:\foo~1 
 
16/07/2008  09:27    <DIR>          . 
16/07/2008  09:27    <DIR>          .. 
               0 archivos              0 bytes 
               2 dirs     372.240.384 bytes libres 
 

foo~1 is like a directory hard-link to .foo. It will not appear in the dir list but you can access it like a hidden directory.

I finally gave up and went with FAT for my development. For some good reasons people didn't like that my configure script was written in EUPHORIA. So, I ported over this part to Batch. Put this after the first line in configure.bat:

if exist svn~1  echo SVNDIR=svn~1 >> config.wat 
if not exist svn~1 echo "Warning:  DOS build impossible on some non-Microsoft file systems." 
if not exist svn~1 echo SVNDIR=.svn >> config.wat 

I tested the configure script and the modified makefile on both file systems. Makefile then does the right thing.

It works.

Is there any problem with just creating rev.e every time?

45. Re: compiling euphoria 4.0

It is annoying to have to rebuild the interpreter from eusource every time one does a make. This was worse back when I had to use /dINT_CODES and the build process took 8x as long.

OTOH we relink exw/exwc everytime wmake is called, unconditionally, and no one appears to be complaining about that. (It happens so fast that you may not notice unless you are especially looking for it, though.)

47. Re: compiling euphoria 4.0

Symbolic target: interpreter_objects is a dependency for the interpreter.

That's why it is linked every time. It should be easy to fix.

49. Re: compiling euphoria 4.0

Yes. It means that even if you only change some backend c file, everything has to be retranslated and recompiled. It's better to only call the translator if something in the front end changes. But revget.ex should be called every time no matter what, and it should be making the decision about whether rev.e needs to be updated. If the timestamp on rev.e is newer than the binaries, it will trigger a new translation, even if the contents are identical.

This works correctly using the GNU makefile. It does not under watcom because none of the targets rely upon the svn_rev target. It should probably be added to the builddirs target, which they all pretty much rely on. That way it will be called, and the updating will occur correctly.

I use the tool for the job.

• If at keyboard, use keyboard.
• If at mouse, use mouse.
  
  Unkmar rant begins
  Most things I do will be faster by me than someone else trying to accomplish the same task. For any task that I can use the keyboard or mouse and appear to be repetative for me, I try to learn both. I can aquire the Device manage through several methods. If my hand is on the mouse, then I might right click "My computer, Properties" If at the keyboard, Hold down that special key (Super Key) between the Alt and Ctrl Keys and press the Pause key. Those are just 2 examples. Some times I highlight by mouse, other times by Shift+ Navigation (Arrows, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn). Sometimes I Right click, copy And paste, Others Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. It depends on where my hands are on what I do. It also depends on where I intend for my hands to be. I can pull up console via Mouse, however it is much faster to just use Super+R, That pulls up the Run prompt, then type CMD [Enter]. Another reason to learn so many methods. Sometimes certain things might not be available. ALT+CTRL+DEL disabled for accessing the Task Manager? Or remotely viewing? Pull up command prompt and execute taskmgr. Don't the registry editor showing in the recent or commonly used tasks? Don't want it in the MRU of the Run Prompt? Command prompt,C:\> regedit. Need to run, msconfig but don't want it in the MRU? Command prompt, C:\> start msconfig. I have hundreds of these things memorized. How? It isn't hard. Really simple. Learn one at a time over time. They add up. If I use it often, then it is easy to learn it. Move to the next one. I control Winamp by keyboard. Usually by the special Multimedia keys of my keyboard. But I'm not always using my keyboard. So I set it to make use of Global keys, I use the defaults in most all cases and Simply memorize. ALT+CTRL+Up Arrow. Increase Volume. ALT+CTRL+Right Arrow, Skip forward in song. ALT+CTRL+PgDn, Next Song. ALT+CTRL+Home, Toggle Pause. ALT+CTRL+End Stop. ALT+CTRL+Insert Start/Play. Unfortunatley, Mute is not mapped by default.

Sorry, for this really late reply but I have been busy with other things.

We should have a .ERROR command list directive:

.ERROR <TAB> if not exists config.wat echo "Please run config.bat"

Putting a symbolic target like svn_rev in all of the dependencies means everything will be rebuilt each time. In general if something is remade for any reason any other target that depends on it is also remade. This is also why the link happens every time.

The makefile sometimes runs make in order to set objdir and some other macros. Normally the user will try to make a target whose rule will call make with objdir set to some value. You can put another make line in each of interpreter, backend, library, etc of the form of:

make -f makefile.wat svn_rev

or you can use the .BEFORE directive:

.BEFORE <TAB> $(EX) ./revget.ex

The first method is more typing but you will see revget.ex probably only once. The second method you will see it so many times you might decide to use an @ character to make it invisible.

interpreter_objects can be replaced with the multiple target : intobj\int.lbc dosobj\int.lbc remove the .SYMBOLIC symbol from the dependencies.
