I downloaded Windows installer (with OW) where are the specific instructions for building
source code using OpenWatcom located ?? What are the commands for wmake etc.

> configure 
> wmake 

I made the mistake of allowing the installer to set up the environment variables
automatically and it did not set up watcom bin paths so I will delete and setup
and edit by hand.

Thanks Matt

Hallo

configure --eubin c:\euphoria40\bin --plat WINDOWS 
wmake 

This mostly works for me.

I never got something without setting eubin (maybe, becouse of my setup here)

configure --eubin c:\euphoria40\bin --plat WINDOWS 
wmake 

I didn't use the installer, but from my local mercurial repo, I did:

> hg up 4.0.4 
> wmake clean 
> configure 
> wmake 

...and everything seems to have built for me. (NB: the hg up 4.0.4 updated my working copy to the 4.0.4 tag, so it should all be the same as what you got with a 4.0.4 install.) Here is what my config.wat looks like:

# Configuration for Watcom  
ASSERT=1  
SCP=pscp -C  
SSH=plink -C  
HG=hg  
ARCH=ix86  
EUPHORIA=1  
MANAGED_MEM=1  
DELTREE=del /Q /S  
RM=del /Q  
RMDIR=rmdir /Q/S  
EUDOC=eudoc.exe  
CREOLE=creole.exe  
TRUNKDIR=C:\euphoria\dev\oe  
BUILDDIR=C:\euphoria\dev\oe\source\build  

When building the pcre stuff, my console shows:

------- REG EXP ----------- 
cd pcre 
wmake -h -f makefile.wat CONFIG=..\config.wat EOSTYPE=-DEWINDOWS 
wcc386 -DEWINDOWS /zp4 /w0 /5r /ol  -zq -oaxt -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNO_RECURSE pcre_chartables.c -fo=C:\euphoria\dev\oe\sour

Do you know who wrote this makefile.wat. 
Maybe they could write some instructions ? 
There are no comments or explanation of what parameters to pass if any. 
This is the only comment in the file. 
# I wanted to put $(BASEPATH) here as a dependency for .c files but 
# watcom doesn't provide that functionality in inplicit rules... (sigh) 
I give up I'am not familiar enough with how all the pieces pass parameters back and forth. 
The config.wat does not have the same parameters that are in your config.wat. 
The makefile.wat has only single line and is autodepend 
 
.c.obj : .AUTODEPEND 
	wcc386 $(EOSTYPE) /zp4 /w0 /5r /ol $(PCREDEBUG) -zq -oaxt -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNO_RECURSE $< -fo=$@ 
 
$(BASEPATH) : .EXISTSONLY $(BUILDDIR) 
	mkdir $(BASEPATH) 

That Makefile is meant to be called by the makefile in the source directory. You shouldn't need to mess with it (unless you're doing something with the PCRE stuff).

From my earlier post, this was all output from the build process:

------- REG EXP -----------  
cd pcre  
wmake -h -f makefile.wat CONFIG=..\config.wat EOSTYPE=-DEWINDOWS 

Those are commands from source/Makefile.wat, starting at line 813. You should never need to manually call the makefile in the pcre directory:

    @echo ------- REG EXP ----------- 
	cd pcre 
	wmake -h -f makefile.wat CONFIG=..\$(CONFIG) EOSTYPE=-D$(OSFLAG)

---------------------------------------- 
 
 
# Makefile for PCRE to be included into Euphoria

CC = wcc386 
 
BASEPATH=$(BUILDDIR)\pcre

What file are you looking at? You're describing the contents of source/pcre/Makefile.wat. You should not be doing anything with this file manually. As I already told you, that stuff gets initialized when wmake is called for this makefile by the makefile in the source directory.

Why? What are you trying to do? I've told you how that makefile works, but since you keep asking the same questions over and over, I suspect that we need to back up a step or two to figure out what problem you are trying to solve.

Aha! Thanks for the clarification. This looks like a bug in the installer:

Source: "..\..\source\pcre\*.*"; DestDir: {app}\source\; Flags: ignoreversion; Components: comp_source 

So...the pcre directory contents are overwriting the source directory. The best place to get the source is really from the mercurial repo. Take a look at the Mercurial wiki page. Or, you can follow the SCM menu item on the right and download a snapshot of a particular changeset.

This was my first attempt at building eu4.0.5
I downloaded and installed euphoria-4.0.5-ow.exe. I have Windows XP SP2.
I installed it in c:euphoria I installed Watcom 1.9 at c:watcom In System\advanced\enviromental variables, I can see the path set correctly to the two Watcom direcotries.

-- I did  
SET EUINC=C:\EUPHORIA\include 
--I can see the EUINC properly initialised. 
-- I did  
cd source 
configure  --prefix  \EUPHORIA 
 
-- wmake is Watcom compiler command in the c:\watcom\binw directory 
-- Then I tried 
wmake  -f  makefile.wat 

It errored out, because it did not find config.wat at line 9 of Makefile.wat. I checked by putting an extra line of comment in Makefile.wat and it errored our at line 10. I tried the full paths to everything, but it did not work

c:\watcom\binw\wmake  -f  c:\euphoria\source\Makefile.wat 

Finally I commented out line 9 pf Makefile.wat

# !include $(CONFIG) 
-- adding instead 
!include config.wat 
 

and lo and behold, it work up to a point.
It created c:\euphoria\source\build and .....\pcre
It put in some files there

But it came with an error.

By now I have created a composite batch file

and this is the message.

Note that in the line
wcc386 ...... the word $(EOSTYPE) is missing.

I therefore tried:
PLAT=WINDOWS in the config.wat FILE - no success
PLAT=WINDOWS in the Makefile.wat FILE - no success
I tried several other statements but no success
Substitution with whatever I assign to EOSTYPE occurs in the erro message display but no success

Is there any write up anywhere, where I can look it up?

Config .wat is being created and in fact, I fiddled with it by trying to add PLAT=WINDOWS

 # Configuration for Watcom  
PLAT=WINDOWS 
ASSERT=1  
PREFIX=\EUPHORIA  
SCP=pscp -C  
SSH=plink -C  
HG=hg  
ARCH=ix86  
EUPHORIA=1  
MANAGED_MEM=1  
DELTREE=del /Q /S  
RM=del /Q  
RMDIR=rmdir /Q/S  
EUDOC=eudoc.exe  
CREOLE=creole.exe  
TRUNKDIR=C:\euphoria  
BUILDDIR=C:\euphoria\source\build  
 

I have gone about line at a time and confirmed what is working and what is not working. Definitely, the current Makefile.wat in the euphoria-4.0.5-ow version after installation into C:euphoria is a small fileand the wmake command of Watcom does not recognize

!include $(CONFIG)  

and I had to change it manually to

!include config.wat 

Then it recognized the line and proceeded to

wcc386 $(EOSTYPE) /zp4 /w0 /5r /ol $(PCREDEBUG) -zq -oaxt -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNO_RECURSE $< -fo=$@ 

where it did not find OS defined and came with the error message

 
	wcc386  /zp4 /w0 /5r /ol  -zq -oaxt -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNO_RECURSE pcre_chartables.c -fo=C:\euphoria\source\build\pcre\pcre_chartables.obj 
config.h(7): Error! E1091: ** 
config.h(8): Error! E1091: ** No OS set!                               
config.h(9): Error! E1091: ** Please run configure and make utilities  
config.h(10): Error! E1091: ** from this directory s parent 

Notice the absence of
$(EOSTYPE) or its substitution in the error message.

So far what I have discovered is that the Makefile.wat in the OW distribution version of 4.0.5 for Windows is vastly different from the one same in the Linux version. I also have euphoria-4.0.4-WINDOWS.zip which I either downloaded with that name or I gave that name to a Windows version of 4.0.4. In there, the Makefile.wat is a very similar long file to the Linux version of 4.0.4.
Additionally the source file in this version has about 20-30 .cpp files.

I don't mind using the "normal" Windows Installer .exe file and try to compile from that. I hope it works. I will try it tomorrow, to give you people a chance to stop me if it won't work.

Thanks for your suggestions. I am a persistent bee, and will try and get going based on the Makefile.wat in the "normal" exe distribution, in the repository, in the 4.0.4 final distribution, in the repository, etc, and make changes in the the .wat file as appropriate.
Earlier in this thread I read your caution about altering the Makefile. Usually I am not deterred by having to manipulate different "batch file" type of scripts. So, if I have to, I will alter the script to get the desired results.
I will remain alert to any other advice here, but otherwise, I will post my result (success or failure). In any case, I will go ahead with the MinGW compilation. I should be done in the next 36 hours (software writer's time scale!)

I am quite used to going into (in Win XP) Start/Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment variables and checking changing various parameters manually.
