I am running under Win7 with Win-AVR (in system path) providing the required AVR utilities although I have defined AVR_TOOLS_DIR = c:/apps/Arduino-1.0/hardware/tools/avr

I seem to be having substitution problems. I have found work arounds but would like to get thinks working properly and understand why they are not working.

the major problem is the rule to make target `build-uno/Blink.o' from the blink.ino file. here is the output from the make

make

In the arduino.mk file the following rule exists:

the ino -> o file

$(OBJDIR)/%.o: %.ino $(COMMON_DEPS) | $(OBJDIR) $(warning processing rule $(OBJDIR)/%.o ) @$(MKDIR) $(dir $@) $(CXX) -x c++ -include $(ARDUINO_HEADER) -MMD -c $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) $< -o

$(OBJDIR)/%.o should match build-uno/Blink.o but does not.

if I add this rule build-uno/Blink.o: blink.ino $(COMMON_DEPS) | $(OBJDIR) everything compiles OK.

tuna-f1sh commented 9 years ago

What directory do you run it from? I'm also having difficulties with the passing of OBJDIR on both Mac and Windows systems.

On the Mac I've found that if the parent directory of the project has a space in the name you'll get the same error (this took a lot of trial and error to decipher!) . On Windows, running from cygwin home directory creates the problem but is fine from cygwin root. I assume this is a problem with 'cygdrive/c/' and '~/' not being understood.

sej7278 commented 9 years ago

yes funnily enough when we went around double-quoting everything to fix windows spaces in paths issues, it meant that variables like ~/ wouldn't get parsed, as they need single quotes.

so windows fix broke linux/osx.....

we should probably go back to single quotes and figure something else out for windows - like telling people not to put spaces in their directory names!

BobWorkman commented 9 years ago

I don't think it is a 'spaces' problem for 2 reasons;

I created a directory C:/users/bob/home and in it I put the arduino-makefile distribution just to avoid the spaces in directories problem.

So OBJDIR becomes c:/users/bob/home/arduino-makefile/examples/blink/blink-uno

if I create a fixed rule for the subsitution rule everything works

NOTE: Technically I am not running Cygwin although I think Win-Avr which provides all the tools is a variant as cygwin1.dll is in the path. Note no spaces in its path either.

BobWorkman commented 9 years ago

OOPS. Newbie error I closed this issue by error

sej7278 commented 9 years ago

on windows the paths have to be relative, maybe that's it. but still the double-quoting is breaking variables like ~/ on all platforms (well, maybe except windows!)

@BobWorkman edit: that is fixed in f946670f3d maybe try again and see if it fixes your issue too?

sudar commented 9 years ago

@BobWorkman Can you kindly check the latest version to see if this fixes your issue?

BobWorkman commented 9 years ago

I tried and no change.

I seem to be encountering several problems, all relating to substitution. Will try to find my notes and post them. I essentially abandoned this project as it was taking much more time than just reworking code to run under Atmel Studio. I liked many of the concepts but it failed me from the start, basic Makefile problems I think.

The main reason why we don't have good support for Windows is because both me and most of the core developers don't have access to a Windows machine to test it.

If you could share your notes then it would be very useful.

BobWorkman commented 9 years ago

Okay I am trying to organize my ramblings into a coherent activity log. The 1st problem I am having is understanding why the arduinio.mk uses the $% variable in the rulers. e.g. $(OBJDIR)/%.eep: $(OBJDIR)/%.elf $(COMMON_DEPS)

My documentation says $% is the target of the rule, when the target is a archive member, and is empty when the target is not an archive member. My testing seems to bear this out, will do more testing but not being a ‘Makefile’ guru I thought I would pose the question to a UNIX person to see if it is perhaps a Windows/Unix difference.

Also is there a way to post a file or will I have to copy & paste my notes.

You can copy & paste your notes or post them in gist.github.com and then post the link here.

sej7278 commented 9 years ago

% substitutes in the target name like Blink, not sure what the question is here.

i'd say try a proper cygwin environment and see if that works, as that's the only environment we've really seen before, plain windows opens you up to problems with the filesystem (e.g. blink.ino seems to becoming Blink.elf) as you aren't using cygdrive if you're just using cygwin.dll bundled with win-avr. kind of what @tuna-f1sh said above.

BobWorkman commented 9 years ago

Ok... I have tried cygwin and get exactly the same problem. According to section 10.5.3 in my makefile documentation $% only exists for a member of an archive, not globally so %.ino will not match to blink.ino I have made extensive use of show_config_variable to see what the variables are. In makefile I defined:

$(TARGET_EEP): DUMPM $(TARGET_ELF) $(COMMON_DEPS)

then

DUMPM:
    $(warning  [PROCESSING RULE] for target TARGET_EPP {$(TARGET_EEP)})
    $(call show_config_variable,$,[DEBUG])
    $(call show_config_variable,@,[DEBUG])

which yields:

Updating goal targets....
 File `all' does not exist.
   File `build-uno/Blink.eep' does not exist.
     File `DUMPM' does not exist.
    Must remake target `DUMPM'.

NOTE % is empty.

Will continue testing and report back

sej7278 commented 9 years ago

could you use the github website rather than email as its messing with the formatting - i can't tell if a single-quote is being added to your filenames or if its the formatting, e.g. you have:

File all' does not exist
File DUMPM' does not exist.

would be useful if we could see your local Makefile too.

the default path in the Command prompt window is:

PATH=

c:\winavr-20100110\bin;
c:\winavr-20100110\utils\bin\;

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.7\bin;
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319

Winavr-20100110 contains all the utilities, compiler, linker etc, including the cygwin dll.

I have created some special directories to avoid the "spaces in file names" problem. none of the entries in any part of these directory trees are allowed to have spaces. They are:

C:\apps where the arduino IDE is installed C:\users\bob\home where I have the arduino-makefile installed

I do all my testing on the included example "blink"

NOTE: there is an egrep error which is not addressed yet because code it affects is not required for this level.

First step is to modify the makefile located in the examples\blink directory. I added the lines:

ARDUINO_DIR   =c:/apps/Arduino-1.0
AVR_TOOLS_DIR =c:/apps/Arduino-1.0/hardware/tools/avr
ARDMK_DIR     = ../../

liberal use of debugging print statement "show_config_variable", "show_config_info" and $(warning text) staetments shows:

ah maybe you need to add the triple backticks around the post to make it format correctly (see code section here)

it still doesn't look like you're using a proper cygwin environment, as your paths should all be relative to cygdrive like ARDUINO_DIR = /cygdrive/c/arduino-1.0.5, we totally don't support a non-cygwin windows environment - as you can see you're missing the egrep command too.

BobWorkman commented 9 years ago

will try change post technique.

I am familiar with this environment... would have to relearn to use cygwin. will try posting other logs with massive variable dumps to gist.github. all my variables seem to be fine it's the rule substiution that is failing. these tests where done with an earlier version of arduini.mk which I modified heavily to produce debug output. Will continue posting my test results.

However, right now I am off to my grandson's birthday party.

I edited all your comments to format them properly. You were using the quotes (') character to format, but you have to use the backtick (`) character (the one that is near to the esc character in most keyboards)

Thanks for posting your detailed log output. As @sej7278 mentioned we don't currently support non-cygwin environment in windows because a) It is way different b) none of us have access to a windows machine.

May be it would be possible for us to add support if we know what are the things that are broken in non-cygwin environment. That's why I asked you for detailed logs and your notes.

However, right now I am off to my grandson's birthday party.

Sure. Enjoy it :)

ARDUINO_DIR on windows is supposed to be a relative path e.g. ../../arduino/ not an absolute like c:/apps/Arduino-1.0 and the check for that is failing as egrep isn't installed.

basically without cygwin there's no way to run the various shell commands like egrep, uname, sed, awk, cat, echo, grep, which..... so there's no way this will work. you're probably better off running linux in a virtual machine or installing cygwin proper.

Sudar: May be it would be possible for us to add support if we know what are the things that are broken in non-cygwin environment. That's why I asked you for detailed logs and your notes. This is the only reason I am re-activating my activity in this area. I have created a repository Bobworkman\sudar-299 into which (when I figure out how) I will post my code and notes.

sej7278: Au Contraire there are many non cgywin shells out there providing UNIX utilities in the window command console. one of these is included in WinAvr. I have other machines so I could actually install Linix and go through the whole learning curve, Acquire the utilities I need all over again ... etc,etc. Much easier just to port what I need to my existing very familiar environment. As noted above I am only pursuing this as a possible aide to others yet to come.

@BobWorkman cygwin.dll isn't enough, you need the filesystem and unix utilities. in theory you could just use windows binaries of the utilities mentioned above (plus python, make etc.) and win-avr and be very careful with case-sensitivity on the filesystem, i'd love to see a PR, but don't really see the point when there's cygwin, and win-avr has been dead for 5+ years now hasn't it?

on linux its a simple apt-get install arduino python-serial arduino-mk make to acquire the utilities, although i can see its a learning curve.
