[sdcc-devel] Packaging SDCC for Msys2 MINGW-packages

[Joel H. <jo...@ai...>]

Hi Folks,

I'm working on packaging SDCC 4.4.0 for Msys2/MINGW, and I'm having an 
issue with the build.

The current issue I have is in regard to sdcc trying to execute 
sdcpp.exe during the build. I don't understand how this is meant to 
work, because bin/sdcpp is a shell script. However, sdcc when executing 
the preprocessor via sdcc_system(), tries to execute sdcpp.exe via 
system(), which wouldn't work even if the file name was correct.

There must be a solution to this issue, because sdcc has Windows 
releases already, so can someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong 
here?

Kind Regards
Joel Holdsworth
