Borland 5.5 Makefile woes...
Hey all, I am trying to make a makefile for my project... I found a template from what seems to be an older version of the Borland compiler. I though I converted everything over to be compatible with my version (5.5 free) but I guess not... the error I'm getting at this point is:
Fatal: Unable to open file 'MAIN.OBJ'
### or *.OBJ respectively for any source ###
here is the template I'm working from: (sorry in advance for the formatting)
Read this and this(Salem)
Code:
##########################################
#
PROJ = project # the name of the project
OBJS = main.obj io.obj # list of object files
# Configuration:
#
MODEL = s32 # memory model
CC = bcc32 # name of compiler
# Compiler-dependent section
#
%if $(CC) == bcc32 # if compiler is bcc
CFLAGS = –m$(MODEL) # $(CFLAGS) is –ms
LDSTART = c0$(MODEL) # the start-up object file
LDLIBS = c$(MODEL) # the library
LDFLAGS = /Lf:\bc\lib # f:\bc\lib is library directory
%elif $(CC) == cl # else if compiler is cl
CFLAGS = –A$(MODEL,UC) # $(CFLAGS) is –AS
LDSTART = # no special start-up
LDLIBS = # no special library
LDFLAGS = /Lf:\c6\lib; # f:\c6\lib is library directory
%else # else
% abort Unsupported CC==$(CC) # compiler is not supported
%endif # endif
# The project to be built
#
$(PROJ).exe : $(OBJS)
tlink $(LDSTART) $(OBJS), $(.TARGET),, $(LDLIBS) $(LDFLAGS)
#$(OBJS) : incl.h # if all have same include
#main.obj : incl.h # if individual includes
#io.obj : incl.h #
#
##########################################
and here is what I'm attempting to use:
##########################################
#
PROJ = project # the name of the project
OBJS = whatever.obj whatever.obj # list of object files
# Configuration:
#
MODEL = s32 # memory model

#
#%if $(CC) == bcc32 # if compiler is bcc
CFLAGS = –m$(MODEL) # $(CFLAGS) is –ms
LDSTART = c0$(MODEL) # the start-up object file
LDLIBS = c$(MODEL) # the library
LDFLAGS = /Lc:\bcc\lib # c:\bcc\lib is library directory
#%elif $(CC) == cl # else if compiler is cl

# The project to be built
#
$(PROJ).exe : $(OBJS)
ilink32 $(LDSTART) $(OBJS), $(.TARGET),, $(LDLIBS) $(LDFLAGS)
$(OBJS) : incl.h # if all have same include
#main.obj : incl.h # if individual includes
#io.obj : incl.h #

Ok what I changed was the MODEL and CC, added a 32 to each to correspond to which I think are the respective files in my version.
Also, the tlink command in the exe command line, I changed to ilink32. Again, thinking that may be the equivalent in my version.
The LDFLAGS to my directory, C:\Bcc\Lib.
I also commented out the Compiler switch section for now, plus I would get an error there anyways before. Also un-commented an incl.h file associated with both sources.
Afer attempting to run make I get the errors, unable to open the *.obj file. If anyone has a fix for this it would be greatly appreciated! I hope its just something easy that I'm missing.
The output is defined in bcc32.cfg to C:\Bcc\Compiled... maybe I have to specify something there, since it's unable to open the output at this point in the process. For giggles I added that to the LDFLAGS directory, though not to my surprise, no luck.
Thanks in advance, I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
