How to run C project written in linux on Windows? - linux

I need to run C project written in Linux on Windows. The project contains the following: main.c, makefile, (.c) and (.h) files under folder (libs), and it includes "GL/glut.h" (openGL).
I have tried run it under Visual Studio, but didn't work out. Now, I am working with NetBeans under MinGW compiler. I did all steps mentioned to make NetBeans use MinGW compiler, but still the makefile doesn't compile, and I can't understand the error behind.
Any help is very appreciated. Thank you.
Find below the makefile:
EXECUTABLE = main
CC = g++
CWD=$(shell pwd)
INCLUDES =
CFLAGS= -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer #-static -Wall
LIBFLAGS = -L./ -lGL -lGLU -lglut #-L/usr/X11R6/lib # -lXxf86vm
SOURCE_FILES = $(shell find -name \*.c)
INTERM_DIR=obj
all: $(EXECUTABLE)
clean:
$(RM) -rf $(INTERM_DIR) $(EXECUTABLE)
.PHONY: clean
$(INTERM_DIR) :
mkdir -p $#
$(INTERM_DIR)/%.dep: %.c
mkdir -p `dirname $#`
echo -n `dirname $#`/ > $#
$(CC) $(CFLAGS_COMMON) $< -MM | sed -r -e 's,^(.*)\.o\s*\:,\1.o $# :,g' >> $#
ifneq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),clean)
-include $(SOURCE_FILES:./%.c=./$(INTERM_DIR)/%.dep)
endif
$(INTERM_DIR)/%.o: ./%.c
mkdir -p `dirname $#`
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $#
$(EXECUTABLE): $(SOURCE_FILES:./%.c=./$(INTERM_DIR)/%.o)
mkdir -p `dirname $#`
$(CC) $^ $(LIBFLAGS) -o $#
The error I got:
C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe -c 'C:/Program Files/mingw-w64/x86_64-7.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev0/mingw64/bin/gcc.exe' -MM
gcc.exe: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
COMPILE FILE FAILED (exit value 1, total time: 306ms)

I believe when you install Visual Studio it gives the option to run with Linux. Another way you might be able to get around this is to use a VM with a Linux OS.

How to link libraries on Raspberry Pi cross compiler?

I followed this guide to build a cross compiler for Raspberry Pi ARMv7. It works fine (compiles ok hello world) but the problem is I can't use Raspberry Pi libraries such as wiringpi, sqlite etc.
This is my Makefile.
CC = /opt/cross-pi-gcc/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
QUOTE := "
CFLAGS = -g -lwiringPi -pthread -lpthread
PROGRAM = lora
OBJDIR = obj
CPP_SRCS += \
src/main.cpp \
src/radio/sx1276/sx1276.cpp \
src/radio/radio.cpp \
OBJ_FILES += \
$(OBJDIR)/main.o \
$(OBJDIR)/sx1276.o \
$(OBJDIR)/radio.o \
all: make_dir $(OBJ_FILES)
$(CC) $(OBJ_FILES) $(CFLAGS) -o $(PROGRAM)
make_dir:
mkdir -p $(OBJDIR)
$(OBJDIR)/main.o: src/main.cpp
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -o $# $<
$(OBJDIR)/service.o: src/service/service.cpp
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -o $# $<
$(OBJDIR)/sx1276.o: src/radio/sx1276/sx1276.cpp
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -o $# $<
$(OBJDIR)/radio.o: src/radio/radio.cpp
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -o $# $<
clean:
rm $(PROGRAM)
rm -rf $(OBJDIR)
The error I'm getting:
/opt/cross-pi-gcc/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/8.3.0/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld: cannot find -lwiringPi
I copied some libraries from my Pi into a folder on my home dir with this command.
rsync -vR --progress -rl --delete-after --safe-links pi#192.168.1.PI:/{lib,usr,opt/vc/lib} $HOME/raspberrypi/rootfs
Which I found it here.
But I'm not sure how to link them. Did I overlook something?
Note: The piece of code I'm trying to compile was compiling fine on Windows's cross-compiler.
I'm trying to setup a tool-chain on my Linux desktop. I'm using Manjaro.
You have to tell the linker where to look for the libraries.
You can add the flag -L$HOME/raspberrypi/rootfs/usr/lib, or wherever libwiringPi.so is located.
You have to point the compiler to the right headers as well. For that you use the -I flag. E.g. -I$HOME/raspberrypi/rootfs/usr/include. This goes in the CFLAGS of the targets that include wiringPi.h.
Also, -lwiringPi -pthread -lpthread don't belong in the CFLAGS, they are linker flags. You only need them in the target that builds PROGRAM. You could add a separate variable LDFLAGS, for example.

makefile compling - make: Nothing to be done for 'all'

I have a makefile and while attempting to compile it with make -f Makefile.linux it's giving the error:
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'
I've looked around and haven't found a solution to this. Some others have had a similar problem before but their solutions do not seem to work for me.
Here's my code:
FCOMPL=/usr/bin/g77 -m32
FCOM90=gfortran -m32
FFLAGC=-u -Wall -ff2c -fPIC -O
BINDIR=/ami/bin/linux-x86
OLDBIN=/ami/bin/linux-x86/old
LIBDIR=/ami/lib/linux-x86
X11LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
BLDDIR=./
LIBS=-L/mrao/lib -lutil -lio -lch -lpgplot -L$(X11LIB) -lX11
SOURCE_FILES=./make_sources
include $(SOURCE_FILES)
.SUFFIXES : .f90
.f.o:
$(FCOMPL) -c $(FFLAGC) $<
.f90.o:
$(FCOM90) -c $(FFLAGC) $<
#all:profile
libprofile.a : $(OBJECTS)
ar ru libprofile.a $(OBJECTS)
profile: profile.f90 libprofile.a
$(FCOM90) $(FFLAGC) -o profile.linux profile.f90 \
-L$(BLDDIR) -lprofile \
-L$(LIBDIR) -lsla -lnag77 -lcfitsio $(LIBS)
ln -s profile.linux profile
chmod g+w *.o *.mod *.a profile.linux
install: profile
mv $(BINDIR)/profile $(OLDBIN)/profile
cp -p profile.linux $(BINDIR)/profile
chmod g+w $(BINDIR)/profile
previous:
mv $(OLDBIN)/profile $(BINDIR)/profile
clean:
rm profile.linux profile *.o *.mod *.a
Solved.
This can be fixed by typing:
make clean -f Makefile.linux
followed by
make -f Makefile.linux

Confusing Makefile

I just came across this makefile, and it's confusing to me:
PROJECT_ROOT = ../..
LIBDIR = $(PROJECT_ROOT)/src/lib
INCDIR = $(PROJECT_ROOT)/include
SRCS = proj_start.c function1.c
LIBS = $(LIBDIR)/libtest.a
OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)
PROJECT = project1
FLAGS = -I$(INCDIR)
CC = gcc $(FLAGS)
.c.o:
$(CC) -c $<
$(PROJECT): $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(OBJS) $(LIBS) -o $#
it: $(PROJECT)
clean:
rm -f $(OBJS) $(PROJECT)
depend: $(SRCS)
$(CC) -M $(SRCS) > dependList
sed -e '1,/^# DO NOT DELETE/!d' Makefile > make.tmp
cat dependList >> make.tmp
mv make.tmp Makefile
rm dependList
# DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE
These are the parts that confuse me:
LIBDIR = $(PROJECT_ROOT)/src/lib
Why is LIBDIR in the root/src/lib library?
Shouldn't it be the root/lib directory (both directories are present in the file hierarchy)?
.c.o:
$(CC) -c $<
What the heck does this do? The "$<" evaluates to .c.o? I see that it is a 'suffix rule' but what are they really used for?
depend: $(SRCS)
$(CC) -M $(SRCS) > dependList
sed -e '1,/^# DO NOT DELETE/!d' Makefile > make.tmp
cat dependList >> make.tmp
mv make.tmp Makefile
rm dependList
# DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE
Why do we need this part? It seems all the dependencies have already been handled...?
Yeah, putting lib/ under src/ looks like a bad, counterintuitive design.
This:
.c.o:
...
is the old way of writing an implicit rule. These days we'd write it like this:
%.o: %.c
...
It's a slightly Rube Goldberg (i.r. clever but over-complicated) way of doing automatic dependency handling. So if foo.c contains the line #include bar.h, this rule will append the line foo.o: bar.h to the makefile. This is actually important.

Makefile export .o file to a different path than .cpp

So my task is simple, I have created the makefile (New with makefiles) and I want to keep my .o files in a different folder to have a cleaner directory and allow the usage of .o files by others.
I searched and found many solution pointing to using -o $< $#
However, it is giving me that g++: cannot specify -o with -c or -S with multiple files
This is what I want to do:
$(OBJECT_PATH)/file1.o: $(SOURCE_PATH)/file2.cpp $(SOURCE_PATH)/file1.cpp
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SOURCE_PATH)/file2.cpp $(SOURCE_PATH)/file1.cpp -o $#
file1.cpp has #include "file1.h", so from what I read I should include file1.cpp in the dependencies. However, now I can't export to a different directory.
Is there a solution? Or do I have the concept wrong?
Use make -d or even better remake -x to understand what commands are invoked.
Run also make -p to understand what builtin rules are used.
We cannot help you more, because we have no idea if you redefined CFLAGS.
And C++ compilation should better be done with g++ that is CXX and CXXFLAGS, e.g. with (I am extracting this from my make -p output)
LINK.cc = $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH)
COMPILE.cc = $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) -c
CXX = g++
%.o: %.cc
$(COMPILE.cc) $(OUTPUT_OPTION) $<
I strongly suggest to have CXXFLAGS= -Wall -g at least during the development phase. Learn also to use gdb and valgrind.
You could have the following in your Makefile
CXXFLAGS= -g -Wall
SOURCES=f1.cc f2.cc
SOURCE_PATH=yoursourcedir/
OBJECT_PATH=yourobjectdir/
SRCFILES=$(patsubst %.cc,$(SOURCE_PATH)/%.cc,$(SOURCES))
OBJFILES=$(patsubst %.cc,$(OBJECT_PATH)/%.o,$(SOURCES))
PROGFILE=$(OBJECT_PATH)
.PHONY: all clean
all: $(PROGFILE)
$(PROGFILE): $(OBJFILES)
$(LINK.cc) $^ $(LOADLIBES) $(LDLIBS) -o $#
$(OBJECT_PATH)/%.o: $(SOURCE_PATH)/%.cc
$(COMPILE.cc) $(OUTPUT_OPTION) $<
clean:
$(RM) $(OBJECT_PATH)/*.o $(PROGFILE)
try
$(OBJECT_PATH)/file1.o: $(SOURCE_PATH)/file2.cpp $(SOURCE_PATH)/file1.cpp
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $^ -c $#
and check that CFLAGS doesn't include -o -c or -s flags
also read about implicit rules. it might help you to orginzie your makefile

Qmake does not include the library path for qt

I just install qt on my slax box,
And I tried to write and compile using qmake.
But the problem is qmake does not write it's 'Makefile' to include -Lqt-mt or -Lqt.
I have to give it manually otherwise there are unresolved links are there. What I could
do for this?Any workaround on this?
And this is the 'Makefile' output by the qmake.

I already set the $QTDIR and I think everything is in place.
Where I missed? Why I have to give it manually? Why qmake does not work in first
place?
EDIT:
There in makefile
LIBS = $(SUBLIBS)
What I did is change it to,
LIBS = $(SUBLIBS) -lqt-mt
After I changed everything works fine ! The problem is again , why I have to do such
a thing manually?
FOR #Frank Osterfeld
I think I'm using correct 'qmake' because ,
When I hit, qmake --version , I do get this.
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.5.3 in /usr/lib/qt/lib
--Thanks in advance--
When there are multiple Qt installations on a machine, it's important the environment has been set-up properly to point to the right Qt version. The following are important environment variables to check:
$QTDIR -- should point to the base directory for the Qt installation.
$QMAKESPEC -- should point to a make specification directory under $QTDIR (e.g. $QTDIR/mkspecs/linux-g++).
$QT_PLUGIN_PATH -- should point to the plug-in directory, typically within the Qt installation (e.g. $QTDIR/plugins).
$PATH -- should have the $QTDIR/bin directory within it. The installation that you wish to use should be first within the $PATH.
If all else fails, check your full environment to ensure that the correct Qt installation is being referred to (use env on *nix, set on Windows).
If you notice directories pointing to the wrong installation within the Makefile generated by qmake, it is likely that your environment hasn't been properly set (in this case, $QMAKESPEC was the culprit).
Finally, it's important to note that the libraries from Qt3 are no longer present in Qt4: Qt3 has libqt-mt, libqui, etc. Qt4 has libQtCore, libQtGui, etc.
