Can not run configure with cygwin gcc

[Dale Pepoon]

I am unable to get the CppUTest configure command to run.  I get the following errors...

command not found

As you can see from the ls command the configure file is there in the current directory.

This happened first on a Windows 8 box, so i tried it on Windows XP and got the same result.

I am new to the cygwin gcc world so I am guessing that it is something simple that I am not doing....

Here are the steps that I have taken.

- Download and install GIT

- use GIT to clone CppUTest Repository.  (The content of the repository ended up one directory lower than I expected on this box.  On Windows 8 box I used SourceTree and it ended up where I expected it)

- use cygwin setup-x86.exe to download and install the cygwin packegs.

under the Devel category I have the following packages on the Windows XP box:

- binutils

- cmake

- gcc-core

- gcc-g++

- gdb

- libatomic1

- libcloog-isl4

- libgcc1

- libgomp1

- libssp0

- libstc++6

- nake

- makedepend

- mcpp

- win32api-headers

- win32api-runtime

- add c:\cygwin\bin to the windows path command..

Let me know if there are any questions.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Additionally if I use the  ./configure  command as I have seen some refer to...(I do not know what the difference is)  I get the following:

Dale@GateWayComputer /cygdrive/c/githome/cpputest/cpputest

$ ./configure

./configure: line 18: $'\r': command not found

./configure: line 33: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

'/configure: line 33: `     ;;

Dale,

The configure/make business in CppUTest is from GNU's autotools.  I'm not an expert, but you *might* need to install autoconf, automake, and libtool in Cygwin.

Also, the difference between "./configure" and "configure" is that the "./" says to look in the current folder (".") to execute the command.  This is needed if "." is not on your execution path: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_%28variable%29

Ryan,

Thanks for the quick reply...

I tried adding the additional packages.  Looks like I got a lot of other packages as well due to dependencies.  However there was no change in the results that I was getting.

However, I have found the source of the problem and the solution.

Problem:

  It seemed that the script processor was complaining about '\r" and unexpected newlines.

  With a few edits I was able to get past the first and second error but then there were more errors of the same type.

Solution.

  Respond properly to the GIT Setup prompt "Configuring the line ending conversions".....

There are three options:

1) Checkout Windows style, commit Unix-style line ending (Default)

2) Checkout as-is, commit Uniix-style line ending

3) Checkout as-is, commit as-is

Originally I selected option 1, which I believe caused my problem.

I changed to option 2 and re-cloned the cpputest repository.

I was able to run the ./configure without error.

So I am on my way to the next step.

BTW, what is the recommended selection for this option?

option 2 seems to be the best option for the script that is run by cygwin.

What is the best for the code that will be used in eclipse on Windows?

Thanks

Dale,

 

In my experience, you get all necessary packages by just installing GCC-core, GCC-C++ and GDB (if all you want is simply compile, not change the configure script itself). The cygwin installer adds the necessary packages automatically. Obviously, that wasn't true for your existing installation... But this shouldn't really be an issue with a fresh installation of Cygwin 1.7.17.

 

The Cygwin bash has a quirk (in my opinion), because:

 

$ ./configure

 

will work but

 

$ configure

 

will not. The same goes of course for ANY *nix command or shell script! Other shells will accept both (e.g. msys).

 

Cheers,

Robert
