1. ECW and EMAKE problem using watcom

running emake I get this error :

linking
Error! E3138: file objfiles.lnk: line(23): invalid filename 'D:\'
you can now link with: motor.dll


the objfiles.lnk file contains this :

¦FILE init-.obj
¦FILE D:\#EU30\bin\ecw.lib          <<--- this is NOT a invalid filename
¦EXPORT instance='__3instance@0'

I also get this error if I put the ecw.lib file in the current directory : 

linking
Warning! W1008: cannot open graph.lib : No such file or directory
you can now link with: motor.dll

In addition if you generate a DLL it exports functions that

are not my global functions but euphoria functions.

ie. atom_to_float, allocate_string, etc.

The documents says it should just export my global functions.

Can you tell us what the value of %EUDIR is on your system?

 From my autoexec.bat:

SET EUDIR=D:\#EU30

Matt:

I thought that creating a DLL only exported my global functions.

When I create a dll it exports atom_to_float, allocate_string, etc.

It seems to be exporting the euphoria functions too.

Maybe this has to do with how global are handled.

I probably can't help much, but which compiler/linker are you using? It sounds
like the linker is choking on the filename.

I guess I'd just ask you how it would know which globals are yours? :)

If you really don't want to export those, it should be pretty easy to
filter them out of the objfiles.lnk file, since that's how Watcom
decides what to export.

Well, then it's performing exactly as designed.  It sounds like an issue
with Watcom itself.  When you put ecw.lib in the current directory, did
you change the path to it in objfiles.lnk?

Unless someone fixes what appears to be a Watcom bug, here are the work
arounds that occur to me:

* Rename D:\#EU30 to something with a more 'normal' name.

* Move ecw.lib to some other more 'normal' path, and modify objfiles.lnk
  before executing it.

* Maybe try putting quotes around the path--Watcom may just be interpreting
  the '#' as a delimiter.

When creating a DLL, normally _all_ global routines are exported.
E.g. atom_to_float32() and allocate_string() are global functions
(in "machine.e").
If you want to control which routines will be exported when creating
a DLL, then you can use my contribution "ecwr.zip".

Unfortunately, I can't help with the main problem here -- but other
people probably can help you better, when you'll mention which Eu
version and which compiler version you are using.

10. Re: ECW and EMAKE problem using watcom

Matt:

If I enclose the name in single qoutes it accepts the file name.

ie.

FILE init-.obj
FILE 'D:\#EU30\bin\ecw.lib'  << -- this works
EXPORT instance='__3instance@0'

But I still get the following warning.

ie.

linking
Warning! W1008: cannot open graph.lib : No such file or directory
you can now link with: motor.dll

The graph.lib is a DOS library located in c:\watcom\dos directory
so this watcom probably needs a enviornment lib entry. 

But I still don't understand why the linker is looking for this library ??

Juergen:

When I downloaded ecwr.zip I decided to compile ecwr.

It reports this warning :

D:\#EU30\ecwr>ecw -wat -con ecwr.exw

7 .c files were created.
To build your .exe file, type: emake
Warning: built-in routine find_from() redefined

Because your find_from() has 3 parameters and the built-in 

has 2 parameters ( I'am using latest version of Euphoria )

Ooops, I'm sorry. I did forget to test the program with the
most recent Euphoria version. Thanks for reporting the problem!
I'll correct it and upload a new version of "ecwr" ASAP.

Bernie,

I just uploaded the new version of 'ecwr':
   http://www.rapideuphoria.com/uploads/ecwr.zip

I hope it works fine for you. The ZIP archive now also contains
the binary 'ecwr.exe', so that it's not necessary for the user
to translate & compile the program her/himself.
