1. Watcom not compiling

I go to E:/euphoria/BIN and type
ecw -wat E:\EU\Demo\BIGDOTS.EXW
Watcom creates 54 .c files.
I type "emake" and runs through all the .c files.

Then I get:
Error! E2008: cannot open e:/euphoria/bin/ecw.lib :
No such file or directory

Does anyone have any Ideas what's wrong?

Thank you, Don Cole

Hi Don support for Watcom was dropped. This was a decision by the Euphoria admins, AFAIK because Watcom itself was end-of-life. You now need to compile (under windows) using mingw.

HTH!

Hello fizzpopsoft,

Thank you for responding.

I downloaded mingw and it look pretty complicated. I need to study it for a while.

If I do figure it out, what command do I put in the BIN folder?

For Watcom I'm using:
ecw -wat "E:\EU\Demo\appselect.exw" *

  • (the file I'm compiling)

4. Re: Watcom not compiling

Hi Don,
no problem, the command to compile is the same, change "-wat" to "-gcc".
But the environmental variables need to change, here are my BAT files to set that:

@echo off
echo GCC Build Environment
set PATH=d:\euphoria\mingw\BIN;%PATH%
set PATH=d:\euphoria\mingw\mingw32\BIN;%PATH%
set PATH=d:\euphoria\bin;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=d:\euphoria\mingw\include;%INCLUDE%
set INCLUDE=d:\euphoria\mingw\lib;%INCLUDE%
set GCC=d:\euphoria\mingw
set EUDIR=D:\euphoria
set EUINC=D:\euphoria\include


@echo off
echo Open Watcom Build Environment
set PATH=d:\euphoria\WATCOM\BINNT;%PATH%
set PATH=d:\euphoria\WATCOM\BINW;%PATH%
set PATH=d:\euphoria\bin;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=d:\euphoria\WATCOM\H\NT;%INCLUDE%
set INCLUDE=d:\euphoria\WATCOM\H;%INCLUDE%
set WATCOM=d:\euphoria\WATCOM
set EDPATH=d:\euphoria\WATCOM\EDDAT
set EUDIR=D:\euphoria
set EUINC=D:\euphoria\include

5. Re: Watcom not compiling

Thank you for your follow up post.

I just now saw it.

I'd just about given up on compiling because I got my binder working. They are about the same aren't they.

Anyway I'm going to study and try what you suggested in your post.
