wcl with wmake compilation command arguments on a temperary file

[sparky4]

//NTS we have to construct the command line into tmp.cmd because for MS-DOS //systems all arguments would exceed the pitiful 128 char command line limit .C.OBJ: %write temp.cmd $(CFLAGS_THIS) $(CFLAGS_CON) $[@ @wcl @temp.cmd

yeah i want to pass arguments to wcl that are in a file... but it dose not know how todo this....

also wasm help i think print out it's bianary

[jmalak]

If you are using wmake then if you put star character before wcl command like this *wcl ..... all options and arguments .... then command line is passed by temporary environment variable (DOS version of tools) to wcl tools

Thanks for wasm bug report. It is fixed by 73469ee8d5c83dce77306427dfd2a0a96d82dcdb

[jmalak]

Anyway wcl .... @file .... argument is used as linker directive file for linker

[jmalak]

The star before command is general rule for any wmake command, it is supported by OW tools for DOS host (Compilers, librarian, resource compiler, assemblers).

[sparky4]

ok thanks!

[sparky4]

Well I am having a different issue now.... @jmalak I am running into an issue with compiling Open Watcom again.... http://4ch.mooo.com/4/watcom/compwat2.sh This is my script files to compile it. i think builder is failing ========== 12:10:08 /home/sparky4/p/watcom2/bld/causeway/cwc/dosi86 =========== cp ../../cw32/dosi86/cwstub.exe cwstub.exe wcl386 -zq -bt=linux -l=linux -I"/home/sparky4/p/watcom2/bld/watcom/h" ../../c/mkcode.c -ox-w8-j-fo=.obj -fe=./mkcode.exe bwasm -zq -fo=copystub.obj ../../asm/copystub.asm bwlink format dos com op quiet, nodefault file copystub.obj name copystub.tmp disable 1023,1080 ./mkcode.exe copystub.tmp copystub.gh bwasm -zq -fo=decstub.obj ../../asm/decstub.asm bwlink format dos com op quiet, nodefault file decstub.obj name decstub.tmp disable 1023,1080 ./mkcode.exe decstub.tmp decstub.gh cc cwc.obj ./copystub.gh(65610): Error!

[jmalak]

It looks like problem with content of copystub.gh for some reason (normaly it has 73 lines only, but yours has much more 65610). In similar situation you should first run "sh clean.sh" from OWROOT directory which realy remove all temporary object from build tree. After that try it ones more because command "sh build.sh" doesn't remove any of temporary objects.

[sparky4]

ok thank!

[sparky4]

failed again... did not work... same error

[jmalak]

Please, could you give me content of home/sparky4/p/watcom2/bld/causeway/cwc/dosi86 for analysis.

[sparky4]

yes!

http://4ch.mooo.com/4/watcom/dosi86.tar

it is a very big file it is currently being uploaded it is going to take a while...

[jmalak]

It looks like OW configuration problem, therefore binary files copystub.tmp and decstub.tmp are wrong. They should have following sizes copystub.tmp 1167 bytes decstub.tmp 461 bytes

[sparky4]

!!!!

the *.gh files are 1.4 GB

[jmalak]

What version of OW you use for OW build on your system?

[sparky4]

! 2.0 ^^; ^^;

[sparky4]

so the compiler is trying to compile the compiler that happens to be itself

[jmalak]

It looks like your OW 2.0 is broken or environment is not setup correctly. Try rebuild OW 2.0 from latest source by native compiler or by OW 1.9.

[sparky4]

ok!

[sparky4]

odd the 64 bit machine compiles open watcom successfully and .... the 32 bit machines fail at it... how odd

their configs are the same ^^

[jmalak]

In this case I recommed to modify local.mif file to not suppress banner. Remove following lines from begining of build/mif/local.mif file

global definition which tool is quiet

cc += -zq cl += -zq cxx += -zq as += -q linker += op q librarian += -q rc += -q rcaui += -q

bcc += -zq bcl += -zq bas += -q blink += op q blib += -q

Next set OWVERBOSE=1 environment variable. Then you will get full log with banner of each tool and full command line to be able analyse what is wrong.

[sparky4]

ah OK

HOW odd same issue on compy4

[sparky4]

ok i copied the bld directory from lappy4 (the working one) and deleted binbuild/*.obj and it compiled that part

but causeway win386 dwarf wasm ... they all have same error Error! E1073: Invalid option '-.obj'

[sparky4]

i am thinking fo= in -fo=.obj is missing at the end of the compile arguments

[jmalak]

Thanks for your checking. I am sorry I introduced bug for -fo option by ac26553c9354ff606657d53d99eeb10bd4a95ef9 commit which fixed problem with -mt option. Now it should be fixed. Please try it ones more with latest source code.

[sparky4]

OK I will do! and it is ok!

[sparky4]

compiling on odd pc 1st attempted failed... same -.obj issue so i copied the newer wcl from lappy4 to compy4 and retrying

anyway https://github.com/sparky4/16/blob/master/makefile#L143

i do not know how todo this... it is not well documented. ^^;

trying to reduce the massive makefile and wcl to not have such a long compile parameters ^^;

[jmalak]

Don't forgot use latest source for OW2. For bootstrap version run "builder bootclean" in bld/wcl and next run "builder boot" it replace bwcl.. by new versions. Next you don't need recompile full OW2 simply recompile only wcl utility and replace it in appropriate directory of your existing OW2. After that try again.

[jmalak]

To your make file problem, use of star should fix problem with long command line on the DOS tesuto.exe: tesuto.$(OBJ) $(DOSLIBLIBS) 16_head.$(OBJ) gfx.lib @*wlink option quiet option max=tesuto.mah $(DOSLIB_LDFLAGS_DOS16H) file tesuto.obj name tesuto.exe library $(DOSLIBDIR)$(DIRSEP)hw$(DIRSEP)cpu$(DIRSEP)dos86h$(DIRSEP)cpu.lib library $(DOSLIBDIR)$(DIRSEP)hw$(DIRSEP)dos$(DIRSEP)dos86h$(DIRSEP)dos.lib

anyway you can optimize wlink command to @*wlink option quiet option max=tesuto.mah $(DOSLIB_LDFLAGS_DOS16H) file tesuto.obj name tesuto.exe libpath $(DOSLIBDIR)/hw/cpu/dos86h library cpu.lib library dos.lib

[jmalak]

For current valid command use star before wcl command

*wcl $(FLAGS) $(WCLQ) tesuto.$(OBJ) $(DOSLIBLIBS) 16_head.$(OBJ) gfx.lib

[jmalak]

Global optimization could be done by

{$(SRC)}.c.$(OBJ) : *wcl $(FLAGS) -c $[*

only dependencies are necessary

16.$(OBJ): $(SRC)16.c $(SRC)16.h bakapi.$(OBJ): $(SRC)bakapi.c $(SRC)bakapi.h test.$(OBJ): $(SRC)test.c $(SRCLIB)modex16.h test0.$(OBJ): $(SRC)test0.c # if it is one-to-one then can be ommited pcxtest.$(OBJ): $(SRC)pcxtest.c $(SRCLIB)modex16.h vrstest.$(OBJ): $(SRC)vrstest.c $(SRCLIB)modex16.h

etc.

[sparky4]

thanks!

[sparky4]

hmmm the {$(SRC)}.c.$(OBJ) : wcl $(FLAGS) -c $[

only works on DOS the host compiling OS can also be GNU/Linux

the target is always 16 bit dos

[jmalak]

what problem is on Linux?

[sparky4]

[jmalak]

What is on line 210 and 211? Could you give me your makefile? You can run wmake -sn to get each command

[sparky4]

the

{$(SRC)}.c.$(OBJ) : wcl $(FLAGS) -c $[

^^;

[jmalak]

What contain $(SRC) macro?

[sparky4]

SRC=src\ or SRC=src/

[sparky4]

source *.C file directory

[jmalak]

it could be a problem with trailing directory separator in extensions rule try

{src}.c.$(OBJ) : wcl $(FLAGS) -c $[

[sparky4]

ok!

[sparky4]

hmm failed too hmmm

[jmalak]

what source file cause it? what is its dependency line?

[sparky4]

let me commit please wait

[jmalak]

take into account that each source directory require extra rule definition by example

{src}.c.o :

{doslib/src}.c.o :

first one is for sources src/.c second one is for sources doslib/src/.c

but wmake translate / to \ in dependency on host

[sparky4]

oh ok!

[sparky4]

the line is 211 and it is makefile it is committing

[sparky4]

ok so {src}.c.o : ? or {src}.c.$(OBJ) : ?

[jmalak]

if you change object file extension to $(OBJ) then you must use second form to switch rule accordingly

[sparky4]

https://github.com/sparky4/16/blob/master/makefile#L211

yes

gnu/linux cannot do that line

[sparky4]

i have to disable it for gnu/linux host compiling because it dose not understand...
