warp_c starting

[jacques silberstein]

I just try to use wrap_c. My objective being to wrap the modbus protocol.

I'm on linux debian.

I use the https://github.com/eiffel-wrap-c/WrapC/tree/master/doc#understanding_wrapc as sources.

Naturally I try to start whit the basic example "hello_world". 

here are my first try:

jacques@neuchatel:/Eiffel_archives/EWG/ewg_0_9_0/example$ wrap_c --output-dir=/tmp/wrap/ --full-header=simple/library/manual_wrapper/c/include/simple_header.h 
cc1: fatal error: simple/library/manual_wrapper/c/include/simple_header.h: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
compilation terminated.
Syntax error in "simple_header_cpp.h" at line 1
jacques@neuchatel:/Eiffel_archives/EWG/ewg_0_9_0/example$ cat simple/library/manual_wrapper/c/include/simple_header.h 
#ifndef __EWG_SIMPLE_HEADER__
#define __EWG_SIMPLE_HEADER__

struct foo
{
  int a,b,*pc;
};

typedef union
{
  int a;
} foo1;

typedef enum
{
  red,
  blue,
  green
} colors;

void func1 (int a, int b);

int func2 (int a, int b);

#endif

This is a little bit confusing :

fatal error: simple/library/manual_wrapper/c/include/simple_header.h: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

and

Syntax error in "simple_header_cpp.h" at line 1

A syntax error in an unexisting file !

the wrap_c version is: wrap_c version 1.0.0

I also try, with a config option has suggested. Here is the result:

jacques@neuchatel:/Eiffel_archives/EWG/ewg_0_9_0/example$ wrap_c --output-dir=/tmp/wrap/ --full-header=simple/library/manual_wrapper/c/include/simple_header.h --config=simple/library/config.ewg 
cc1: fatal error: simple/library/manual_wrapper/c/include/simple_header.h: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
compilation terminated.
wrap_c: cannot read 'simple/library/config.ewg'
jacques@neuchatel:/Eiffel_archives/EWG/ewg_0_9_0/example$ cat simple/library/config.ewg
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ewg_config name="simple">

  <rule_list>
    <rule>
      <match>
      </match>
      <wrapper type="default">
      </wrapper>
    </rule>
  </rule_list>

Hi!

As not everybody understands French well, couldn't you try to set the language to default English temporarily (for the error messages)?
