Compiling On XP ? 2

[laado]

Guys,

Clipper version : 5.2e
Blinker 4

I have been doing development on Win 2000 from last 3 years without any trouble.
Last week my company gave me new one with "XP" on it and all of a sudden my clipper Prgs will not compile.

I spent last 5 hrs looking through past post about this subject without any luck.

I use this Batch file to set path etc :
"SetEnv.bat"

@echo off
set include=c:\clip52\include;c:\software\include

set LIB=C:\CLIP52\LIB;C:\BLINKER4\LIB;C:\SOFTWARE\LIB
set OBJ=C:\CLIP52\OBJ;C:\BLINKER4\OBJ;C:\SOFTWARE\OBJ
set PLL=C:\CLIP52\PLL
set CLIPPERCMD=/w/b/a/v/n/m

PATH C:\PD;C:\ME;C:\CLIP52\BIN;C:\BLINKER4
--------------------------------------------------

Batch File 2
-------------------------
echo off
rmake shock

if not errorlevel 1 blinker @shock
goto end
:end
--------------------------------

Lnk File
--------------------------------
blinker incremental off
BLINKER EXECUTABLE CLIPPER F75;
fi sh001
out shock
beginarea
fi sh000,sh011,sh021,sh031,sh032,sh041,sh051,sh061,dosidle
lib extend,flex52,esc40
endarea
---------------------------------

Rmake File
--------------------------------
sh001.obj: sh001.prg
clipper sh001
sh000.obj: sh000.prg
clipper sh000
sh011.obj: sh011.prg
clipper sh011
sh021.obj: sh021.prg
clipper sh021
sh031.obj: sh031.prg
clipper sh031
sh032.obj: sh032.prg
clipper sh032
sh041.obj: sh041.prg
clipper sh041
sh051.obj: sh051.prg
clipper sh051
sh061.obj: sh061.prg
clipper sh061
----------------------

Above Steps works in WIndows 2000 But will not work in XP

The Error i get is "Blinker : 1109 unable to open obj file"

which i think as it cannot create Object files , SO i tried to create one By one using "Clipper Sh001" Then it creates
the object file but Gives me Errors about all the Static & Private Variable i have defined?

Thanks in advance

I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect your environment variables are not remaining - they become local to the DOS/CMD window now - you probably need to set them up permanently, rather than using your batch file.

To see if I'm right, try compiling one obj manually:

clipper sh061

And see what the error messages are.

I use a batch file in the source folder to compile under XP - so my command line looks like:

CL50OBJ sh061

Where the batch file contains:

@echo on
C:\LANG\CL50\BIN\CLIPPER %1.PRG -m %2 %3 %4 -ustd.ch  -oOBJ\%1.OBJ
@echo off

I also remember having trouble with the make utility under XP and I had to revert to an old version of RMAKE from Nantucket - version 1.3 (vintage 1991!).

Good luck

I build Clipper 5.2e all the time on XP SP1. What I have done is to set my paths to Clipper and Blinker into the syetem environment variables under system properties under 'Your Computer'.
This allows a call to Clipper or Blinker from the dos wondow prompt with out running your batch file.

My rmk file is structured as follows:
.prg.obj:
clipper $< /O$@ /n/a/i..\include > ERR.OUT

payment.obj : payment.prg
admintsk.obj : admintsk.prg
billHIP.obj : billHIP.prg
report.obj : report.prg
report1.obj : report1.prg
etc...

The lnk file has hardwired paths as illustrated in the following:
BLINKER INCREMENTAL OFF
BLINKER EXECUTABLE COMPRESS
BLINKER EXECUTABLE CLIPPER F115
BLINKER EXECUTABLE EXTENDED
BLINKER MESSAGE NOWARNING
BLINKER MESSAGE DUPLICATES
BLINKER EXTMEM BLOCK
BLINKER EXTMEM LIMIT
BLINKER HOST DPMI
BLINKER HOST VCPI
BLINKER HOST XMS

I tried Creating a batch file as follows
@echo on
C:\Clip52\Bin\Clipper %Sh001.prg -m -ustd.ch -oOBJ\%sh001.obj
@echo off

I got this error message
SH001.PRG(30) Warning C1004 Ambiguous reference, assuming memvar: 'REG_ARR'
SH001.PRG(32) Warning C1004 Ambiguous reference, assuming memvar: 'BIZTYPE'

SH001.PRG(174) Warning C1003 Ambiguous reference: 'BIZTYPE'
1 error
7 warnings

No code generated
Error RMAKE/R2001 Exit 2: 'C:\Clip52\Bin\Clipper Sh001.prg -m -ustd.ch'

All the warning errors are the global variable etc.

I think i misunderstood you, Can you please try to explain.

Thanks but i still having problems using your way.

To set my Variable i use the batch file which is my first postings.

Following your way i created rmk & Lnk Files as follows
"
rmk file .prg.obj:
clipper $< /O$@ /n/a/i..\include > ERR.OUT

sh001.obj: sh001.prg
Sh000.obj: sh000.prg

sh032.obj: sh032.prg
sh041.obj: sh041.prg
sh051.obj: sh051.prg
sh061.obj: sh061.prg

It didn't work.....stressed now Mate...don't know what todo

 

[hag99]

In xp you need to set the envronmental settings to include the paths your indicating. Its not enough to set the paths in the autoexec.nt.

 

[GriffMG]

Laado,

My example wasn't meant to be used literally, I meant it to point you in the right diection. For example, the -o directive and the inclusion of the header file std.ch might not fit with your environment.
