Problems Compiling Part 2

[Mirppc]

So i was about to go and test something with a freshly pulled and compiled twin but alas i am getting some make errors that are a bit over my head. This machine has had a working built twin on it (see my youtube videos on the subject).

Attached at the configure logs and the logs from make.

configure.log

make.log

could this be related to https://github.com/cosmos72/twin/issues/83 ?

This is unexpected. Your make.log does not contain any error, for some reason it skips compiling the server/ subdirectory.

From what I see, this is on a SUSE Linux box, so make should be GNU make.

83 should be unrelated - it's about some Makefile fragments not working with BSD make.

Can you try running

cd /home/mirdellt410/bin/twin && make clean && make && make -d -C server

and post the output here? Thanks

Thanks for the speedy response. I did do a Make Clean multiple times to no avail. Here are the logs. On another note Sourceforce could never has dreamed of making it this easy to upload logfiles when bug reporting. I am so glad TWIN moved to github.

All Logs are new btw as of 1:35AM Pacific Time July 29th 2023. configure.log

makeclean.log

make.2.log

make.server.log

The relevant lines are at the end of your make.server.log

No implicit rule found for 'hw_display.c'.
Finished prerequisites of target
Must remake target 'hw_display.c'.
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/mirdellt410/bin/twin/server/hw'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/mirdellt410/bin/twin/server/hw'
Reaping losing child 0x560ca43ec9e0 PID 7707

For some reason, your make tries to recreate server/hw/hw_display.c which no longer exists - it was renamed server/hw/hw_display.cpp long time ago.

I will investigate it.

In the meantime: is it possible that you have some old files in your twin sources directory? If that's the case, a clean git clone https:/github.com/cosmos72/twin in a different directory (followed by ./configure && make -j) could solve the problem

huh.

I did a git clean -df git reset --hard origin/master and that didnt work out. i ended up following and trying everything in this stackoverflow thread to no avail. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1125968/how-do-i-force-git-pull-to-overwrite-local-files

however when i did a fresh clone into a different directory. compiled just fine. Looks like there are some legacy bits that just wont clean up.

If you still have the broken working copy somewhere, you can try

rm -fr *
git checkout -f

inside it. That should remove all absolete files.

I'll mark this issue as resolved, as you wrote that checking out a fresh copy from github fixes the compilation
