Windows compile issue

[Stefan Lorenz]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile gc under Windows 10

Any idea what can cause these conflicts when bison is running?

 

D:/Programmieren/GnuWin32/bin/bison --file-prefix=y -t -v -d -p DataFilter DataFilter.y
DataFilter.y: Konflikte: 2 Schiebe/Reduziere
del /f DataFilter_yacc.h DataFilter_yacc.cpp
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, del /f DataFilter_yacc.h DataFilter_yacc.cpp, ...) failed.
make (e=2): Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
Makefile.Release:72387: recipe for target 'DataFilter_yacc.h' failed
mingw32-make[2]: *** [DataFilter_yacc.h] Error 2
mingw32-make[2]: Leaving directory 'D:/Programmieren/GoldenCheetah/src'

mingw32-make[1]: *** [release] Error 2

Make sure you have a recent version of bison, I use win_bison 2.7

When I build on Windows, even with newer bison and flex I get some other names on the output files (something like y.<filename>.c/h). So I manually rename them to <filename>_yacc.cpp and <filename>_yacc.h. There's something like 5-6 files so I haven't spent any more time looking into how to get the proper names directly.

Cheers,

Erik

Ok, i'll check the version first and then look for the y. files...

thx for helping...

I have the same issue. And my bison and flex are up to date.

Do I have to change the setting for bison and flex in gcconfig.pri?

I'm using QT 5.5.1 with MSYS2 on Win10 64bit.

This is the setting in gcconfig.pri I am using and is working fine - NOTE - this is my config.pri for Win builds - so the "win32 { }" is not needed.

I am using flex/bison (latest) from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison/

# Let us know where flex and bison are installed.

# You may need to specify the full path if things don't work.

CONFIG += lex

CONFIG += yacc

QMAKE_LEX  = win_flex --wincompat

QMAKE_YACC = win_bison --file-prefix=y -t

#win32 {

#  QMAKE_YACC = win_bison --file-prefix=y -t

  #QMAKE_MOVE = mv -f

  #QMAKE_DEL_FILE = rm -f

#}

Just re-thought and had a look at the make files.

The sequence is

- del old files

- run bison

- copy bison files to new names

Your sequence seems different. 

I remember to have some problem with flex/yacc when running make with multiple jobs option (-j n). 

If you do this with n > 1, just run it without -j option or -j 1.

I use jom on Win 10.

gcconfig.pri looks like this:

# Let us know where flex and bison are installed.                              

# You may need to specify the full path if things don't work.                  

CONFIG += lex                                                                  

CONFIG += yacc                                                                 

                                                                               

QMAKE_LEX  = win_flex --wincompat                                              

QMAKE_YACC = win_bison --file-prefix=y -t                                      

                                                                               

# Make sure that LEX/YACC is executed first (to allow multi-core compilation)  

lex.CONFIG += target_predeps                                                   

yacc_impl.CONFIG += target_predeps                                             

yacc_decl.CONFIG += target_predeps     

                                        

It does this at compile time:

> jom

jom 1.1.0 - empower your cores

        E:\Qt\Qt5.6.0-GC\msvc2015_64\bin\jom.exe -f Makefile.Release

        del DataFilter_yacc.h DataFilter_yacc.cpp

        win_bison --file-prefix=y -t -d -p DataFilter -b DataFilter Core\DataFilter.y

Core\DataFilter.y: conflicts: 2 shift/reduce

        move DataFilter.tab.h DataFilter_yacc.h

        1 file(s) moved.

        move DataFilter.tab.c DataFilter_yacc.cpp

        1 file(s) moved.

I started using jom as make had issues and it seems to work ok most of the time.

I have had the same problem while trying to build gc from sources.

I run mingw32-make release
and I'm getting following error

mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/piotr_000/workspace-cpp/goldencheetah/src'
bison --file-prefix=y -t -d -p DataFilter Core\DataFilter.y
Makefile.Release:1627: recipe for target 'DataFilter_yacc.h' failed
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/piotr_000/workspace-cpp/goldencheetah/src'
Makefile:48: recipe for target 'release' failed

I have latest win_bison.exe (ver 2.7) and win_flex.exe (2.5.37) on system Path

# my gcconfig.pri

CONFIG += lex
CONFIG += yacc
                                                
QMAKE_LEX = win_flex --wincompat

win32 {
  QMAKE_YACC = bison --file-prefix=y -t
  QMAKE_MOVE = cmd /c move
  QMAKE_DEL_FILE = rm -f
}

Am I missing something?
