Confusion build failure on Cygwin 64

[AlexProudfoot]

The make process fails like this.

Alex@LAPTOP-0BHHRD0H ~/Projects/mdlzork/confusion_patched $ make perl make_types.pl mdl_builtin_types.h < macros.hpp > mdl_builtin_types.cpp mdl_builtins.h not found at make_types.pl line 18. make: *** [Makefile:51: mdl_builtin_types.cpp] Error 2

[AlexProudfoot]

Here are my package selections.

I built this a while ago on Cygwin 64 with no problems so I'm not sure what is going on.

According to git, make has managed to create the following files.

mdl_builtin_types.cpp mdl_builtins.cpp

I just tried a clean build on my laptop here at work and it worked:

I don't know what's going on, but it looks like the first Perl-script (find_builtins.pl) fails to build mdl_builtins.h. Do you have that file and/or is the script running and building it?

[AlexProudfoot]

Hmmm. The file exists and was cloned from your repo.

Make doesn't seem to call it though.

[AlexProudfoot]

If I manually enter the perl commands, make manages to complete the build.

I guess there has been a change to the acceptable form of makefiles.

[heasm66]

I'm gonna update my CygWin to latest versions and see if I can see if I get the same problem.

[heasm66]

I've updated all my ibraries (gcc-g++, libgc-devel, make and perl) to the same versions you have above. I have no problem compiling. Are you sure there is no changes to your Makefile?

[AlexProudfoot]

I literally just cloned, changed directory and typed make. I’ll try again from scratch.

[heasm66]

Strange...

I got another Perl-version (I don't remember why, but your Perl seems fine anyway).

Edit: My bad, I have the same Perl too...

[AlexProudfoot]

And this time it builds without incident. It must have been a file corruption on download. Sorry for wasting your time Henrik.

[heasm66]

No problem. It's only fun to see that's someone uses it.

I'll close this.

I'm trying to continue my efforts on Zork for Inform 7 right now and I'm using the 1981 version here running on confusion_patched as my reference version of Zork. Hopefully, my health will allow me to at least get as far as an initial release of progress so far.
