MODULA2 in UBUNTU 8.10 "HELLO WORLD"

[uldonyar]

Hello, Excuse my bad language, my english is very bad.

i tried to install xds modula 2 in ubuntu 8.10. Everything is ok. I have make the "hola.mod" in KATE editor.

Then i put: "xc =c hola.mod", and the screen shows:

XDS Modula-2 v2.40 [x86, v1.50] - build 10.05.2005
Compiling "hola.mod"
no errors, no warnings, lines    9, time  0.00

OK, i suppose, but ?how can i continue to execute my program?

i put: " xc =m hola.mod"

But  the screen shows:
O2/M2 development system v2.51 (c) 1999-2003 Excelsior, LLC. (build 10.05.2005)
#project is up to date
external command fault 153:
make -f tmp.mkf


i tried : xc =m hola.o   and the result is :

O2/M2 development system v2.51 (c) 1999-2003 Excelsior, LLC. (build 10.05.2005)
#project is up to date


But i can do anything more: the executable file not exists. ?can you help me, please?

THANKS

I don't know about Linux make. Under Windows, you have to set up the
compiler path, C library include and lib paths (e.g. via modified VSVARS32.BAT
VC8 batch) and then execute the tmp.mkf make file manually, via command prompt and nmake. Invocation from XDS IDE or via xc make utility fails similarly to your
failure.

Did you try xm instead of xc ? xc compiles to intermediate C language code.
xm should compile and link to X86 binary executable / machine code directly.

Hope this helps, Siegfried.

P.S. : Here is my modified version of VSVARS32.BAT :

@SET VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8
@SET VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC
@SET FrameworkDir=C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework
@SET FrameworkVersion=v2.0.50727
@SET FrameworkSDKDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0
@if "%VSINSTALLDIR%"=="" goto error_no_VSINSTALLDIR
@if "%VCINSTALLDIR%"=="" goto error_no_VCINSTALLDIR

@echo Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.

@set LIBPATH=C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

@goto end

:error_no_VSINSTALLDIR
@echo ERROR: VSINSTALLDIR variable is not set.
@goto end

:error_no_VCINSTALLDIR
@echo ERROR: VCINSTALLDIR variable is not set.
@goto end

:end

I based this on the original VSVARS32.BAT file located in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools

This also lets you build the C library needed for XDS xc make utility, via

nmake /nologo /f msvc.mkf  command line, run in C:\XDS\LIB\C

I also use Ubuntu 8.10 and have no problem.  With my installation, running "xc =m hello.mod" gives me the following.

Code:

O2/M2 development system v2.51 (c) 1999-2003 Excelsior, LLC. (build 10.05.2005)
#project is up to date
New "tmp.mkf" is generated using template "/home/johng/opt/xds/bin/xc.tem"
gcc  -o hello hello.o   /home/johng/opt/xds/lib/x86/libxds.a  -lm -lncurses

I have two questions (which may sound silly):

• Do you have "make" installed and in your path?
• As indicated by Siegried, have you built the librairies?

[uldonyar]

In the installation instructions i only saw that i have to uncompress the archive in the user folder. Later add path: \home\user\xds\bin and \home\user\xds\lib.
Then type "xcwork" in the work folder. all was OK. I can Compile but icannot MAKE.

THANKS for writing. Sorry, my English is terrible...

[uldonyar]

Excuse me i forgot tell that i have install gcc, obviously, but  not recompiled.

[christoph]

make usually is a package of its own (not part of gcc as you can use different utilities in the open source world if you wish) in Debian-based distributions. And I think you'll have it installed with Ubuntu (which I never used) - but why not try by typing make in a commandline?

[qnr]

Actually, what it looks like to me, is that you originally compiled the program without linking it when you used =compile, you then attempted to recompile it with =make  You got the error the second time because the program was already compiled with the current timestamp, so the compiler figured that there was nothing new. If it were me, I'd say the simplest solution would be to open hola.mod back up in the editor and type a space or something then resave it so that the timestamp changes.  then rerun xc =m hola.mod (or alternately forget the re-edit of the file and just run xc =m =all hola.mod to force a recompile of everything (=all makes it ignore the timestamps)).

I would suggest "touch" so that there is no possibility of accidentally changing the file.

True - that's the route I'd take, but I was trying to keep it non-OS specific, even though the OP uses Linux
