#50 Error building contribs under linux

[Aupeix Alain]

Hi, when trying to build with build.sh, I have this error:

alain@Gramps-JujuLand2:/opt/TuxPrograms/trunks/harbour/addons/hwgui-src/hwgui/contrib$ ./build.sh
gcc -Wall -O3 -c -I/usr/include/harbour -I/opt/TuxPrograms/trunks/harbour/include -o obj/arr2str.o misc/arr2str.c

makefile.linux:71 : la recette pour la cible « obj/miscfunc.c » a échouée

I don't understand why ?

Hello Alain,
your trouble seems to be an file or directory permission problem or an invalid entry in makefile
for the Harbour installation path:
check:
1.) ls -l /opt/TuxPrograms/trunks/harbour/bin/linux/gcc
cd /opt/TuxPrograms/trunks/harbour/bin/linux/gcc

 All executable programs (e.g. harbour(.exe)) must have execute permission chmod 755 ..

 All directories in the way of the path must also have execute permission chmod 755 ..
 if not, "cd" command fails.

2.) Check path to harbour installation in makefile.linux:

Modify path to Harbour to your own needs

HRB_DIR = $(HB_PATH)

HRB_DIR = $(HOME)/Harbour/core-master

HRB_EXE = $(HRB_DIR)/bin/linux/gcc/harbour

I hope, this help you.

My job in the next few days is to create a Readme file with build instructions.
It is very hot here in Bremen (35 deg. C)

Hi Wilfried,

I had a look to permissions, and it's not the problem, all programs are 775 (who can more, can less)
I had corrected makefile.linux, as the pathes obviously don't match with my install.
My install of hwgui didn't melt lib and include files for harbour and hwgui, and due to the structure of makefile, I have copy hwgui libs and include in the same folder than harbour folders.

HRB_DIR = /opt/TuxPrograms/trunks/harbour

HRB_EXE = $(HRB_DIR)/bin/linux/gcc
INC_DIR = /usr/include/harbour
OBJ_DIR = obj
LIB_DIR = /usr/lib/harbour
HWGQHTM_DIR  = qhtm
EXTCONTROL_DIR  = ext_controls
HWGACTIVEX_DIR  = activex
HWGMISC_DIR = ./misc

What troubles me is the fact that the two first prg are correctly build, and the third isn't build with this error

Hi, I found the error, HRB_EXE is incorrect and ought to be :
HRB_EXE = $(HRB_DIR)/bin/linux/gcc/harbour
as it's not a path, but a file which is pointed

But now I have another error, which is dur to the fact that my lib path is under /usr, and the rights are wrong ro create the lib in this folder.

I probably will have to indicate trunks lib folder to avoid this error

Coulsd it be possible to separate harbout lib and include variables, so i will match with all the install ?

Thanks

For now, to avoid error, I just add a sudo
sudo ar rc $@ $^

Hello Alain,
this is a write protection problem.
For installing programs in system directories like /usr or /usr/local
you need root permission.
In those cases it is the correct way to switch to root by saying:
sudo bash
So you have a "rooted" terminal to build Harbour and HWGUI.
But i prefer a non root installation.

I hope, Alexander Kresin can close this ticket.

this is a write protection problem.

Yes I know, that why I add sudo
It was due to the fact that I give the install pathes for lib and include

But i prefer a non root installation.

me too

Thanks
