Re: [Seed7-users] Seed7 Version 2024-03-01 Fails Installation on Windows

Hello Zachary,

A missing base.h and chkccomp.h looks really weird.
All makefiles including mk_mingw.mak have commands to generate them.

Maybe it thinks that you are on a Linux system, because you are using
makefile instead of mk_mingw.mak. Maybe your copy of mk_mingw.mak to
makefile has been overwritten by git.

BTW.: The make command offers the option -f to specify a makefile. So
instead of copying mk_mingw.mak to makefile you could specify

  -f mk_mingw.mak

with every make command.
The missing files show that your files are in a strange state. Just do a

  make -f mk_mingw.mak clean

to clean it up. Sometimes a "make clean" complains about the file "depend".
In this case you can remove the file "depend" and do a "make clean" afterwards.

Please do not copy files like chkccomp.h from your old version.
This files should be generated with:

  make -f mk_mingw.mak depend

Afterwards

  make -f mk_mingw.mak
  make -f mk_mingw.mak s7c

should compile the interpreter and compiler.

That chkccomp.exe was not found is a follow up error (gcc was not able to
compile chkccomp.c because base.h was missing).

Best regards
Thomas Mertes
