Unable to install (make)

[enjoysmath]

>make
cc -O3 -std=c11 -pedantic -Wall -Wno-missing-braces -Wno-overlength-strings -DNO
T_UNIX  -o owl src/*.c
cc: error: src/*.c: Invalid argument
cc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make: *** [owl] Error 1

What build tools do I need to get this to work?

Thanks for reporting this. What cc do you have installed? It looks like we're relying on cc to expand src/*.c, which isn't portable.

[ianh]

Never mind, ignore that last comment. I tested this, and make should be using the shell to expand its arguments. Can you run make sysinfo and sh --version and paste the results here?

[ianh]

Sorry, clicked the wrong button! I have a Windows computer, so I can probably reproduce this if I have more information about the shell/mingw/cygwin version.

Tried make sysinfo and sysinfo isn't a supported argument. I have no sh command. But here's cc info:

Thanks, that's helpful. I tried installing Haskell Platform 8.2.1 to reproduce this build environment, but it doesn't seem to include make. Do you remember how you installed make? Does make --version say anything?

[enjoysmath]

C:\MyProjects___MECHANIKOS\GPUCloudDeepLearningResearch>where make

C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\make.exe C:\MyProjects___MECHANIKOS\GPUCloudDeepLearningResearch>

It's part of DMD2 installation (D language)

I have so many build systems installed already like VS 2017 community.

Let me know which one to add to the pile.

Thanks.

It looks like the best way is to install MSYS2, which provides its own environment. Then you can run (within the MSYS2 MSYS shell):

$ pacman -S git gcc make
$ git clone https://github.com/ianh/owl.git
$ cd owl
$ make

If you're on Windows 10, nothing is easier than just enabling/installing WSL from the Windows Store.

I've been testing in MSYS2 successfully for a while, so I'm going to close this. Feel free to open a new issue if it isn't working for you or if you have any other questions.
