[M3devel] installing cm3.exe.

[Jay K]

Because it is likely to fail, we don't even try.

 

 

See m3-sys/cm3/src/m3makefile:

 

 

% Some platforms do not allow overwriting binaries that are currently
% executed, hence the default is not to install the cm3 binary in place.
% This also saves the user from accidentally overwriting the currently
% used compiler. To install the binary, you can either use the
% install-cm3-compiler script from the scripts/ directory or set the
% INSTALL_CM3_IN_BIN environment variable to "yes".
if equal($INSTALL_CM3_IN_BIN, "yes")
Program ("cm3")
else
program ("cm3")
end


 

You wouldn't get a popup for this, you'd just get an error.

Jay:
 
Can you explain why?
 
I haven’t noticed this problem on Windows.
 
Perhaps are you suggesting that since cm3.exe is currently executing the –ship directive that Windows won’t replace the .exe file while in use?  In general, for these type of problems I’ve always gotten a pop-up warning that file was in use.  I don’t get such an error in this case though.

In fact -ship never puts cm3.exe in the right place.
