Build Variables not defined in v1.0.2893

[saurav]

I created a workspace containing a simple project where I tried to use the Build variables like WorkspacePath, ProjectPath etc for the intermediate and output files. But other than IntermediateDirectory, ConfigurationName and OutDir, none of the variables are defined. Try building the attached workspace and see the output from Pre Build Commands. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this an unimplemented feature? For me, this is an issue on both Windows (XP Pro SP2) and Linux (Ubuntu 9.04).

Also, under Windows, CodeLite emits the following at the end:

Can't open perl script "c:\Program": No such file or directory

What is this about? On my system, Perl is installed in E:\E:\Perl-5.6.1.635. CodeLite is installed in "E:\Program Files\CodeLite".

On Windows, my Build System is set to "GNU makefile for g++/gcc. Build Tool is "c:\cygwin\bin\make.exe"

Cheers,
Saurav.

I committed a fix for this on SVN trunk, so now the following macros are available during the post/pre build commands:

Code: Select all

ConfigurationName      
IntermediateDirectory  
OutDir                 
WorkspacePath          
ProjectPath            
User                   
Date                   
CodeLitePath           

However, the file specific macros (CurrentFileName , CurrentFulePath , CurrentFileFullPath ) are still not available during those steps.
Also, those macros are ONLY available when using the default build system (i.e. it will not work when using custom makefile/qmake etc.)

Can't open perl script "c:\Program": No such file or directory

I am missing the context here, but my guess is that you should surround your command with quotation marks cause the path that you are trying to use includes space in it.

I am not running a perl command anywhere. That's my problem. I don't know what is trying to run the perl script, or what that script is.

This is definitly one of your scripts - try to search for it. (are you using any post commands? are you using custom build?)

I can help you locate the offensive script, but please provide more information (e.g. paste here the entire 'build' tab output + 'trace' tab output)

The only pre/post build commands my project has are to echo the build variables. I am not using custom build. If I just run "Build" on the project, I get the perl related error.

If I run make in the wsp.mk file in a command prompt window, I don't see the perl related error. I only see it inside codelite.

I attached a project in my first post. Please try to build the project/workspace therein.

Thanks,
Saurav.

Also, I see the Perl related error only when I set the "Compiler:" option in Project Settings to "gnu g++". If set to VC++, it encounters a different set of problems, but not the perl related error.

This has nothing to do with it.

"c:/cygwin/bin/make.exe"

I see that you are using cygwin, this could cause a problem, especially if it will try to locate files like /cygdrive/..., since these paths are only recognized within cygwin shell.
Unless told speicifically, cygwin does not understand paths like C:\ etc, only /cygdrive/c/ - the 'make' command that you are using is part of the cygwin installation - google it and you will how to disable cygwin paths and tell cygwin's make to understand Windows native paths.

or you could install codelite with MinGW (there is a package for this on sourceforge)

I am now using MinGW 5.1.4. The perl error is gone, but I have a different set of problems, which I have posted here:

Thanks for your help.

I have replied to those problems in the other thread
