A code file has an include. This header file is not in the same directory as most of the other header files. The make file has the lineCode:#include "commisc.h"
, which I suspect may tell me where the commisc.h file is. How do I find NET_LIBS?Code:STAR_CCF2WAIS_LIBS = $(NET_LIBS)
There's too little information to help you.
How about telling us the name of the project you're attempting to compile.
You could try just commenting out the mystery include file and see what error messages you get. For all you know, it could be obsolete and unused.
Salem, FWIW, the project's name is ccf2wais. The code currently only exists on the production server. I am trying to set it up locally so I can do maintenance work on it, without making my experimental changes directly on live code. My IDE is giving me an error because 'Symbol 'WARNING' could not be resolved.' There are several header files for which I'm getting the warnings like, "Unresolved inclusion: "commisc.h"". If I can find commisc.h on the server, I bet the other missing ones are in the same place.
So, the code on the production server gets compiled on the server rather than compiled elsewhere with the binary pushed to the server? If so, then the makefile (or other relevant build system file) should give you a clue as to where are the directories searched for include files.
Correct, the code on the production server gets compiled on the server. The make file has the lineHow do I find NET_LIBS?Code:STAR_CCF2WAIS_LIBS = $(NET_LIBS)
So why aren't you asking your work colleagues, instead of random internet strangers who have no knowledge of your "production server" or anything else about how your company organises it's code.
Start by talking to the person who gave you the assignment, and explain to them that you can't find this header file.
I can't answer your question directly, because it (and the suggestion) is making invalid assumptions. I would be able to answer the logically prior question, "Have you asked your work colleagues?", however.
On the other hand, even though you don't know the answer to my question, maybe someone else does. For example, for compiling directly through GCC, there is an answer. Perhaps there is also one for Make.
Programmers find two things insurmountably difficult:
- Admitting they don't know the answer to a question;
- Not responding to a question if they don't know the answer.
So what exactly are you asking?
What exactly do you seem to be missing?
The above might help you find the library location, however it will probably not help you find the location of the header file. For the header file you should look in your make file for an entry for that header. A header file is not the library and a library is usually not a header file.Quote:
STAR_CCF2WAIS_LIBS = $(NET_LIBS)
By the way that header is not a standard header, it is probably only available on your companies systems. Either somewhere on the server or somewhere on the system used to build the "project". So you will probably need to search your server and/or the build system to find the location of the header.
Lastly drop the attitude if you really want help. Your best avenue for help for these issues will be someone familiar with your system, not some random stranger that has no idea how that proprietary build system is setup.
