Ok, so pretty much everything is installed on Cygwin, yet... it refuses to work? basically all im getting each time I type make is the following:


make
make -s smaug
   Compiling o/imc.o....
make[1]: *** [o/imc.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

So basically i've tried a few things, installin all the Lib files, and devel files on Cygwin.

Played around with the makefile, commenting stuff out and recommenting them. And still have no luck.

commented out imc, still no luck.

I've pretty much tried everything I can think of, has anyone else had this problem? any suggestions guys?

Is that the full error? It shouldn't be. You should be getting a message saying what line is getting an error.

Findecano Sun 21 Oct 2007 11:27 PM #2

Yeh Zeno, thats the full error message.
Thats whats leaving me stumped too...

I'm trying to get cygwin to work for a mate, and this just keeps happening. Strange =/

Zeno USA Sun 21 Oct 2007 11:40 PM #3

What happens when you try to compile manually (using gcc)?

Findecano Sun 21 Oct 2007 11:52 PM #4

Bugger all too...
It just does the command, and then goes back to the prompt.

Maybe I'm doin something wrong? lol =/

Zeno USA Sun 21 Oct 2007 11:58 PM #5

Can you show me the exact input and output?

Findecano Mon 22 Oct 2007 12:06 AM #6


frankie@SKIPPY
gcc act_comm.c

frankie@SKIPPY


so I also tried, using -c and -S. such as, gcc -S act_comm.c

And you don't get an .o file or a.out?



Might be something to bring to the Cygwin support mail list.

nope, get nothing what so ever.

But yeh, I'll pop it on Cygwin's website. See if they come up with out.



Cheers Zeno.

Make sure the o directory exists. Winzip doesn't create empty directories during extraction, so if you unzipped using that it could be your problem. I don't remember if the makefile takes care of creating the appropriate directories.



Of course, this doesn't explain why a straight compile didn't work...



If you could, please do:



gcc -c act_comm.c -o act_comm.o



and then see if act_comm.o appears in the current directory.

Nope. It doesn't... it just acts like Make isn't even working properly.



Which ever .c file is first, it just refuses to compile it, no matter which one it is.

First let's isolate the problem; don't use make for now (that's why I asked about just compiling one file). We need to find out if it's a compiler problem before we start worrying about make.



Here's something to try: (in src)

ls -l

gcc -c act_comm.c -o act_comm.o

ls -ltr



please paste the exact output from that sequence.

Also if that doesn't work, perhaps start simple. Make your own .c file with a few lines of code and try that.

That's a really good idea, actually. Find something like a hello world program in c on the web (there's a bunch) and make sure that at least compiles. If it doesn't, we know that there's something wrong with your cygwin gcc installation.

I also tried hello world, but it had none of that either.

Any ideas?

So hello world didn't work either? Well, what I would do at this point is to re-run the Cygwin setup program and try forcing a reinstall of the gcc package. Your gcc seems to be pretty broken, so that's a good way to start.
