carbide.vs: Bug in invocation of mwccsym2.exe?

[timosteuerwald]

Hi all,

I try to get the tests for STL-Port running. There exists in the path stlport\STLport-4.5.1\test\regression a file named epoc.mmp. This is the project I tried to import and build in VS2003 via carbide.vs. Import is ok, but if I try to build it I will get this output:

Interesting thing is that it will be built on console, but not with carbide.vs. Also it tries to output the object in a file called "InvalidFilePath.o", which shouldn't be ok.
If I set e.g. the compiler option "-v" for showing version infos, it will at least try to compile all files, but of course still into the false object files and furthermore this creates other problems in the toolchain. This is only a part of the output that appears:

Any clues?

Seems that the code and .mmp file etc that you tried to import are quite old and not compatible at least with the new 3.0 SDK (import most like proposed a project of type Classic when you imported?) so unless you have done a lot of manual work to set things right, it will not work with the 3.0 SDK.

First thing to do is to get an older SDK - not sure which - and try with that.

[timosteuerwald]

No, it is really a bug in the toolchain of carbide.vs, because it already works with that SDK on the console. But I have found out if I change the directory names that it contains no "-" in the whole path, carbide.vs won't make trouble any longer.
This is quite nasty and cost me some time for investigation! :-/

Cheers,

Timo

Hi Timo,
I meet the same problem as yours.
What I already done :
I renamed my source directory from "pjlib-test" to "pjlib_test"(because mwccsym2.exe unable to use the character "-" in the command line).
And I changed manually the SOURCEPATH in .mmp in the same way.

output from carbide .vs from visual studio 2003 looks like this

Do you know where carbide .vs get the directory "\diplomarbeit\pjsip\pjlib\src\pjlib-test\main_symbian.cpp" as a parameter for the command line mwccsym2.exe ?

this is my .mmp

also in .mmp i have SOURCEPATH ..\pjlib\src\pjlib_test, not ..\pjlib\src\pjlib-test.
So the source directory should be "\diplomarbeit\pjsip\pjlib\src\pjlib_test\main_symbian.cpp", instead of "\diplomarbeit\pjsip\pjlib\src\pjlib-test\main_symbian.cpp"
I'm confused now.
Timo, do you still remember, where did you make the changes? the directory name(done)? SOURCEPATH in .mmp file(done)? and maybe ... somewhere else?
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
When you need the other files, I'm ready to post it.

Thanks,
anton

I also have the same problem, and IMO it's REALLY REALLY BAD to disallow "-" in the directory names. My solution is simple, switch to CodeWarrior personal edition evaluation version which works like charm. :D

Hi,

you also have to correct the include directories for the VS 2003. Go to

Project -> Properties -> C/C++ -> General and correct the "Additional Include Directories" field.
