[M3devel] my status on win32

Wed Jan 16 05:55:39 CET 2008

Jay:

In the file version.quake, I made the following edit:

changed line:  local datefn = "../" & TARGET & ".datenow"
to:  local datefn = ".." & SL & TARGET & ".datenow"

This change has the effect of putting a backward slash in the pathname instead of a forward slash, so we get
C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\m3-sys\cm3\src\..\NT386.datenow

So from that perspective, the change seems good.

Unfortunately, I still get the error that this file can't be opened.

A quick check of C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\m3-sys\cm3\NT386 shows that the file .datenow does not exist.

Regards,
Randy

That's not too bad really.

 1) I'd recommend putting cm3 at the start of the path instead of the end. 
 2) Just comment out the offending code to make progress. It's not critical. 

 >> C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\m3-sys\cm3\src\../NT386.datenow

The code is:
 C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\m3-sys\cm3\src\version.quake or such, included by cm3\src\m3makefile.

Does the file exist?
Does version.quake use "/" or "SL"? If it uses "/", try replacing with SL (and ampersand for string concat).

Could be that a newer binary distributions works better with forward slashes.

Cygwin is only needed for cvs, I think you realize.

Could you send me offline the result of just running "set" after running vcvarsall?
I'd like to adapt pylib.py to it maybe.

(I can start from 5.1.6 and will try 4.1 at some point.)

Jay et al:

I've listed below the steps I've undertaken to try and build the current sources on Windows XP.  

I've also attached a text file showing the output I got when trying to build everything using Jay's upgrade.cmd script.

Unfortunately, I'm getting a build error (see below).

Please advise on how to resolve.

STEPS I TOOK:
=========
1.  Download Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition All-in-One .ISO file and burn to DVD.
    http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/ 

2.  Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition from DVD.

3.  Use "Microsoft Update" service to check for updates / service packs.

4.  Download cygwin setup program from 
    http://cygwin.com/ 

5.  Ran cygwin setup.exe program to install cygwin for all users.  
    Under "Devel" category, make certain to select "cvs" for installation.

6.  Launch cygwin from desktop icon.

7.  In cygwin command shell window, execute following two commands, making sure to give email as password when prompted for login:
    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at modula3.elegosoft.com:/usr/cvs login
    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at modula3.elegosoft.com:/usr/cvs checkout cm3

8.  Moved resulting C:\cygwin\home\rcoleburn\cm3 to C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree
    Note that you should replace "rcoleburn" above with your Windows login username.

9.  Download cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.5.0.zip and cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.5.0-symbols.zip from 
    http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cm3/download.html 

10. Unzipped cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.5.0.zip and stored resulting cm3 folder at C:\cm3

11. Unzipped cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.5.0-symbols.zip and stored resulting symbols folder at C:\cm3\symbols

12. Launch Windows Command Prompt shell.  The following steps represent commands executed within this shell.

13. path %path%;c:\cm3\bin

14. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"

15. cd C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\scripts\win

16. upgrade.cmd
