Problem with make

[gustav...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to follow the example on page 25-26 in the plt-book. When
im running make i get the following error:

happy -gca ParCalc.y
unused terminals: 1
alex -g LexCalc.x
latex DocCalc.tex; dvips DocCalc.dvi -o DocCalc.ps
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), latex DocCalc.tex; dvips
DocCalc.dvi -o Doc
Calc.ps, ...) failed.
make (e=2): Det gÕr inte att hitta filen.
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have GHC, Happy and Alex installed, so I don't understand why I get
this error.

If you don't have LaTeX installed on your system, try commenting out
the latex and dvips commands in the makefile.

cheers,

That did it. Thanks!

I found that even with latex installed, I got errors about invalid parameters on the latex line in the make file. I edited the makefile every time but that got really tedious. Also, the output from the test suit is badly formed in windows cmd (extra symbols instead of colors). I switched to using linux in a virtual machine, and now everything works smoothly, so I can really recommend running it in linux if you can.

You only need to use the m flag once though.

Good point!
