cannot execute bwasm no such file or directory

[revelator]

I get this error no matter what compiler i use and it is built but the bootstrap does not seem to know the location. I can even put it on path and it will still throw this error.

[jmalak]

possible source of problem

• miss-configuration in copy of setvars script, check log files in build/binbuild directory
• some residual objects, but damaged for some reason, try to fix by running clean script
• not latest version of OW source files, try to update your local files

If it doesn't help then more information is necessary

[revelator]

Nothing in the logs. the error does not show there. latest source i just checked it out from here. did a full clean but still same problem.

heres the log->

[jmalak]

Did you check build/binbuild for bwasm.exe is there and runnable?

[revelator]

it is there and it runs, but here is the weird thing i noticed leftovers from the clean so i deleted them manually and now it runs.

seems there might be some stale files left in git ?.

[revelator]

hmm spoke to soon ->

[jmalak]

This message is little confusing, It means also any error if command is run. What OS version you are using and what type and version of bootstrap compiler?

[revelator]

OS win 10 2004 compiler msvc 2017

[revelator]

Hmm could it be because im running it from a junction pointing to another drive ? though cmd sees it as located in c:

[jmalak]

Hmm nothing special. I am using Win 10 1909 and VS 2015 (Compiler version=19.00) Azure pipeline uses Windows server 2016 + VS 2017

[jmalak]

In the past some very similar issue was reported. There was problem that VS was configured for 32-bit. OW build system support VS for 64-bit only. But i am not sure if it is your case.

I am using following initialization for VS in my script set OWTOOLS=VISUALC call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64

[revelator]

pretty much the same here though im not using azure (i prefer the old way using setvars and build and build rel).

[jmalak]

Try to rebuild clib where problem is by following command, it maximize information in bld/clib run builder OWVERBOSE=1 It fails in cgsupp subdirectory try to find .err files with details, why bwasm is not able to compile source code

[revelator]

no .err files so it genuinly seems it could not find bwasm. im going to try moving the open-watcom-v2 dir into the root of C:\ and do the build there instead of via a junction. It might be that something does not see this path as valid and thus fails.

[revelator]

hmm no that did not fix it but here is the log.

[jmalak]

Sometimes some of OW tools have a LFN problem try to rename root to something shorter.

[revelator]

Ok ill give it a try.

[revelator]

Ok that worked allthough i newer had this problem before building it, must be a recent change i reckon ?.

[jmalak]

Please could you send me your original path to try simulate it. It could be some specific character too.

[jmalak]

I don't know if you use some symbolic link, it could be a problem too. Build system doesn't support it.

[revelator]

original path on first try was d:\open-watcom-v2 with a junction or windows symlink in C:\ from where i built. next try was c:\open-watcom-v2 which also failed, then i tried building from c:\d (yes single char directory) and that succeded. Newer had any problems building from a symlink before just as long as you remember to run cmd as admin as else it is not supported. Saves having to thrash my poor ssd whenever i build massive projects like this :P

[jmalak]

the problem is not with symlink as it is, but with combination symlink and true path to same location. I tried on my system with OW root path C:\dev\long-path-for-test-1234567890\open-watcom-v2 and no problem.

[revelator]

Yeah win10 has some nasty problems with that it newer happened on win 7.

By the by, theres a problem with this typedef -> MemWndInfo. One of the members use a restricted keyword which atleast intels compiler will not tolerate namely asm here ->

typedef struct memdata { WORD sel; /* selector being displayed */ uint_32 limit; /* limit of this selector */ uint_32 base; /* base offset */ unsigned lastline; int width; ctl_id disp_type; /* BYTE, WORD, DWORD or CODE (menu item value) */ uint_32 ins_cnt; AsmInfo *asm; /* rename this intel compiler does not like us using this keyword i use assembly here and it accepts this */ uint_32 offset; HWND scrlbar; /* handle of scroll bar */ HWND parent; /* parent of this window */ HWND dialog; /* handle of mem info wnd */ unsigned char bytesdisp; boolbit isdpmi :1; /* is this a dpmi item */ boolbit maximized :1; /* is window maximized */ boolbit autopos :1; /* is memory info window auto positioned */ boolbit curwnd :1; /* was the single window flag set when this window was created */ } MemWndInfo;

and several other places in memwnd.c and memwndcd.c

[jmalak]

MemWndInfo is OW internal structure that its definition can be changed to not colidate with some Microsoft stupidity. Generaly OW doesn't use restrict keyword except where standard library requires it.

[revelator]

Yeah microsoft has been busy nicking all sorts of function names used in previous codebits, one that comes to mind was and internal macro in half-life's sdk that did the exact same thing and a typedef for internal data structures which in fact did not, so upgrading the compiler became a pain in the behind because the sdk simply could not use a different name for that typedef without the client server model going bonkers.

Ill not forget to laugh out manically when someone names a function fckmsft xD

[jmalak]

Yes, some last Microsoft SW development is terrible and stupid.

[revelator]

Well it builds now atleast :) closing as fixed, feel free to use my suggestion for the asm name if you like... (probably not -> like)

[jmalak]

I changed this symbol name because use of asm word as symbol name is realy stupid.
