WSL + Scons: No such file or directory - scons

I'm using WSL and SCons for cross compiling with arm-none-eabi-gcc. When I try to build I get: "scons: *** [target] No such file or directory", where "target" is the name of the object file to build. The same build is working on our build machine (Arch Linux) and if I compile manually it also work fine. So obviously SCons can't find the source code, but why?

I suspect that scons is not able to find 'sh' rather than the object file. Make sure that you aren't editing env['PATH'] anywhere in your build scripts?

ctest doesn't seem to use the settings in CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE

After making my application work on Linux, I'm trying cross-compile it for Windows and MacOSX. I already use CMake.
I began by creating a toolchain file. This works. My linux program is compiled with mingw and I receive a .exe at the end.
# build linux
$ cmake -Bbuild-linux
$ cmake --build build-linux
# build windows
$ cmake -Bbuild-windows -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=`pwd`/cmake/x86_64-w64-mingw32.cmake
$ cmake --build build-windows
What happens next, is I run ctest to execute the unit tests. In Linux, this works fine. But when I do this using the cross-compiled stuff, it can't find the .exe file.
# run tests linux
(cd build-linux; ctest)
# run tests windows
(cd build-windows; ctest)
No problem, I thought -- I would append the .exe suffix depending on the environment -- using if(WIN32)
# CMakeLists.txt
if(WIN32)
SET(EXE_SUFFIX, ".exe")
endif()
ADD_TEST(NAME test_myapp
COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/bin/myapp${EXE_SUFFIX} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/test_myapp.txt
WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}
)
But WIN32 isn't available for some reason and it never appends the suffix. Why isn't WIN32 available? Is the problem that ctest doesn't know about the settings from the toolchain file? Does it not realize that WIN32 was declared?
I am able to use if(WIN32) elsewhere in my CMakeLists.txt file so long as cmake.exe is doing something with those lines, not ctest.exe.
In summary, WIN32 is not set when ctest runs.
Is there a way to execute unit tests without involving ctest? If it can't be trusted to do this right, maybe I don't use it anymore.
This line is totally incorrect:
SET(EXE_SUFFIX, ".exe")
You have set the variable EXE_SUFFIX,, not EXE_SUFFIX. When you later expand ${EXE_SUFFIX}, it comes back empty, so that entire if (WIN32) block is a no-op from the perspective of the rest of the program.

Undefined reference under WinMain#16 in cygwin

i am new to stackflow and i previously i have no background in computer system and programming. However, now i need to run analysis under cygwin for my bioinformatics project. I encounter some error when i try to compile a file name 'zone_b.linux'using cygwin, to produce an executable program. The linux file is download from web https://github.com/haddocking/HADDOCK-binding-sites-tutorial/blob/master/ana_scripts/zone_b.linux. When i try to compile using the following command under cygwin it produce the following error:
$ gcc zone_b.linux
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/6.4.0/../../../libcygwin.a(libcmain.o): In
function `main':
/usr/src/debug/cygwin-2.9.0-3/winsup/cygwin/lib/libcmain.c:37: undefined
reference to `WinMain#16'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error description
I search the following error under stackoverflow, and i found two post with similar problem.
First is the post from undefined reference to `WinMain#16'. It stated that the problem is due the Microsoft'linker uses a runtime library entry point(winMainCRTStartup) that calls Microsoft's non-standard WinMain instead of standard main. So, i try the post's suggestion of including the entry by following command
$ gcc zone_b.linux /entry:winMainCRTStartup
gcc: error: /entry:winMainCRTStartup: No such file or directory
However i get the error no such file or directory. I think maybe it is because i am running under cygwin not mingW.
Second post is the Undefined reference to WinMain in Cygwin. From the post, it said use -c compile flag to only produce object file. However, for my case, i am not using any -c. Therefore, i think it is not relevant to my issue.
I would appreciate if anyone could kindly explain to me since i am new to this computing area. Thank you.
zone_b.linux is the compiled and linked executable program to run on a linux machine. It is a 32-bit ELF binary file. It will not work on a Windows machine, even using cygwin or mingw32, without re-compulation.
You probably have to compile zone_b.f, a FORTRAN source file, using the gfortran compiler to create a zone_b.exe that is usable in cygwin. I saw no instructions for this, but try something like gcc zone_b.f and cross fingers. Be sure gfortran is installed using cygwin setup.
You will also need to (re-)build the other executables (cluster_struc and contact) by performing make in the ana_scripts directory. Any supplied executables (from the git clone ... or a downloaded .zip file) will not work under cygwin.
You will need to have perl and python installed. I think perl is installed by default. You can install python2 using cygwin setup. The python script looked like it will work with python2 or python3, whichever is the default. On cygwin, today, python2 is the default python. I don't do perl, so cross your fingers.

How to create a .dll from Netbeans using Linux?

I'm working on a Linux machine (debian) 64bit and created a simple project involving JNI. The program is running fine on Linux with the created Java project and the compiled .so file. The goal now is to compile the C++ part of the project into a .dll instead of a .so to get it to run on Windows machines.
I read some forums and some articles like this one Article, but all of those articles were about compiling from console and also didn't involve the necessary JNI includes.
I also downloaded the cross-compiler from the given article and tried to get it to run in Netbeans. Therefore I set up another C/C++ Tool Collection in Netbeans and told it to use the x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc compiler for both C and C++. But Netbeans is giving me some errors compiling the file, telling me the x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc compiler could not be found which is quite random I think because I selected it from the file chooser. Did any of you do something like this already, building a .ddl from Netbeans running on Linux? If yes, how did you get it to work?
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc: not found
bproject/Makefile-Debug.mk:66: recipe for target 'build/Debug/GNU_1-Linux-x86/WrapperCpp.o' failed

make[1]: *** [.build-conf] Error 2
nbproject/Makefile-impl.mk:39: recipe for target '.build-impl' failed
make: *** [.build-impl] Error 2
#Edit: I'm a step further now: I installed the correct mingw32 tools: sudo apt-get install mingw32. The programm does now compile without errors using the i586-mingw32msvc-g++ compiler but it still results in a .so instead of a .dll. I guess it has something to do with the make command but I haven't found anything about that yet.

installing QODBC driver for linux

I am trying to install QODBC drivers on ubuntu 13.10 for Qt 5.0.2. I have followed the official documentation (see http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/sql-driver.html#qodbc) but am stuck at one of the steps. When I try to do
qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/local/unixODBC/include" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/unixODBC/lib -lodbc"
it just shows me the help manual for qmake and does nothing.
So I tried to make an empty Makefile and then passed it as an argument
qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/local/unixODBC/include" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/unixODBC/lib -lodbc" Makefile
when I try to "make" the generated Makefile, it shows the following errors:
Makefile:183: warning: overriding commands for target `Makefile'
Makefile:130: warning: ignoring old commands for target `Makefile'
make: Circular Makefile <- Makefile dependency dropped.
make: Circular Makefile <- Makefile dependency dropped.
make: Nothing to be done for `first'.
I have just managed to make the odbc driver installation. The main problem here seems to be that you are not including the "pro" target file.
Here all the steps are:
Go to odbc pluggin path. In my case: cd ~/Qt/5.3/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/odbc
Run qmake including the target LIB paths and also the pro file:
~/Qt/5.3/gcc_64/bin/qmake -makefile "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/local/include" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/lib -lodbc" odbc.pro
make and then sudo make install
I hope it will be usefull.

Codesourcery toolchain under Win7/cygwin can't find some files

I have searched this but the questions I found are about getting the toolchain to work, my problem is that it works on all but a few directories. Also I am not building Linux.
I am trying to move a project from a Linux machine to Windows to make people happy. The same project builds fine under Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) using the Linux Binary for the same toolchain (I recently reloaded both toolchains from the same directory at Mentor to be sure, see details below).
I installed Cygwin, got the packages, set up paths, etc. In general the build works for 90% of the project BUT as make traverses the directory, it finds everything except two files (to clarify, these two are the first files in their respective directories, so I assume the problem will apply to the whole directory). The log below shows the first fail:
if I take lwip out of the build then it blows up on the next one
if I take the next one out of the build then everything else (quite a bit) compiles; then the linker fails on the two missing items as expected.
More precisely, e.g.
it finds /home/Nadi/project/version-2.9/external/freertos/Source/portable/GCC/ARM_CM3_MPU/port.c
but not /home/Nadi/project/version-2.9/external/lwip/src/api/api_lib.c
from the directory that I am running make, "ls" finds the file that the compiler cannot.
log:
$ make
external/freertos
external/lwip
[cc] Debug/api_lib.o
arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe: error: /home/Nadi/project/version-2.9/external/lwip/src/api/api_lib.c: No such file or directory
arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated.
Makefile:189: recipe for target `Debug/api_lib.o' failed
make[2]: *** [Debug/api_lib.o] Error 1
Makefile:37: recipe for target `lwip_world' failed
make[1]: *** [lwip_world] Error 2
Makefile:160: recipe for target `extern' failed
make: *** [extern] Error 2
Details:
GCC Chain : arm-none-eabi-gcc ; gcc version 4.7.2 (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2012.09-63)
Cygwin : CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64
Although it might not help in this particular case, I faced similar problem with CodeSourcery's gcc not recognising Cygwin's paths like /cygdrive/d/foo.c at all - installation of cygpath package and setting environment variable export CYGPATH=c:/cygwin32/bin/cygpath (or set CYGPATH=c:/cygwin32/bin/cygpath in windows console) solved all the issues.
Be sure to define path to cygpath executable in exactly same way as above, regardless of Cygwin or Windows console used.
The details of my previous comment is that you're in for a lot of trouble using the windows/cygwin combo with Sourcery based cross-compilers. You can read more about this at SamyGo. Some of the issues using Windows, presented in all gory detail there, are:
Uses ACL to set file permissions and ownership (Not Linux compatible.)
Has it's own way of creating symbolic links (Not Linux compatible.)
Uses a non case-sensitive default for its fixed NTFS drives.
(Often and silently break archives originally compressed under Linux.)
Uses the Win32 (non POSIX) standard for file paths (Not Linux compatible.)
Uses the 2 characters Carriage-Return and New-Line ("\r" & "\n") for
End-of-Line (EOL) representation, contrary to POSIX, which uses only NL.
So in order not to waste time doing 3rd party debugging, you'd be much better off building your own cross-compiler from scratch, as shown in the XDA links in that other post. Since the advent of Android's, this is no longer difficult.
