I am using the automatic Coq 8.5 makefile generator. This makefile prefixes all modules by "Top." .
Now let's say you run a lot of files by make and then want to change/debug some file in the IDE.
Then the annoying fact is that Coq complains it cannot find the compiled other files, because in the IDE it assumes the names without the "Top" prefix.
I tried to tweak the makefile to get rid of this prefix. But I always ended in some error message of the make.
Can someone show me either how to remove "Top" prefix in make or tell the IDE to use the "Top" prefix.
You can start CoqIDE with the following arguments coqide -R . Top.
This will get rid of the following error Error: The file ..../Logic.vo contains library Top.Logic and not library Logic.
This is annoying indeed. In order to avoid that kind of annoyance, always start your _CoqProject with a line listing options:
-Q . MyProject
To note: the options you can put on the first line of your _CoqProject are the ones listed when calling coqtop -help.

I have a project writed for DEC Unix v4. I want to compile it for linux.
My project have Imakefile, I run xmkmf to generate Makefile and after that run make to compile but I get Makefile:1059: *** missing separator. Stop.
When I see this post I installed SparkyLinux and install CDE and libmotif-dev on it for Motif and CDE and again I am going to generate Makefile and run make, but my problem still
line 1059: MComplexProgramTarget(_gdsv_.o,$(LOCAL_LIBRARIES),)
That line is valid in an Imakefile, but not in a Makefile. It looks like a macro for the C preprocessor. When the preprocessor does not find a definition for a macro, it leaves it as-is.
The next question is therefore: Why is the macro MComplexProgramTarget undefined, and which file defines it usually?
To answer this, you need to know where imake reads its definition files ("strace -f xmkmf" can help you with this), and in which file does this word appear?
The most probable thing is that you have lead to some incompatibility issue with gmake, which should be the make version you are using. Install BSD make and use it to build the system. Probably this will solve your problem (or not, but I have had this kind of problems) Depending on the platform, the package is called bmake or pmake.
I have a check for a header file in configure.ac in the source root
AC_CHECK_HEADER(log4c.h,
[],
[AC_MSG_ERROR([Couldn't find or include log4c.h])])
and I'd like to give different feedback on different platform to reflect different most straight forward ways of providing the header:
on Debian it should error with the message Couldn't find or include log4c.h. Install log4c using 'sudo apt-get install liblog4c-dev'
on OpenSUSE it should error with ... Install log4c using 'sudo yum install log4c-devel' (didn't research the package name, but you catch my drift)
on other systems (where I'm too lazy to research the package name) it should error with ... Install log4c by fetching ftp://.../log4c.tar.gz and installing with './configure && make && make install' in the source root
I
checked the AM_CONDITIONAL macro, but I don't get how to use it in configure.ac rather than in Makefile.am (as described in autoconf/automake: conditional compilation based on presence of library?)
found the tip to run esyscmd in stackoverflow.com/questions/4627900/m4-executing-a-shell-command, but adding esyscmd (/bin/echo abc) to configure.ac doesn't print anything when I run autoreconf --install --verbose --force.
Both answers describing the usage of conditional macros without the shell commands for the mentioned OS and links to predefined macros (like AC_CHECK_HEADER_DEBIAN, AC_CHECK_HEADER_SUSE, etc.) are appreciated.
The following configure.ac doesn't work:
AC_INIT([cndrvcups-common], [2.90], [krichter722#aol.de])
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign -Wall subdir-objects])
AC_PROG_CC
AM_PROG_AR
AM_PROG_CC_C_O
AC_MSG_NOTICE([Hello, world.])
AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT
AC_CHECK_HEADER(check.h,
[],
[
AS_IF (test "$(lsb_release -cs)" = "vivid", [echo aaaaaa], [echo bbbbbb])
])
LT_INIT # needs to be after AM_PROGS_AR
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
because ./configure fails with
checking check.h usability... no
checking check.h presence... no
checking for check.h... no
./configure: line 4433: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
./configure: line 4433: ` if ; then :'
There's also ./configure: line 4427: #include: command not found which happens no matter whether AC_CHECK_HEADER is specified.
Your configure.ac is almost ok. The only problem is space between AS_IF and the parenthesis. No whitespace is allowed between a macro name and the opening parenthesis in m4 scripts. This is correct syntax:
AC_CHECK_HEADER(check.h,
[],
[
AS_IF(test "$(lsb_release -cs)" = "vivid", [echo aaaaaa], [echo bbbbbb])
])
If you are looking for a way to detect different distros look for example at configure.ac of cgmanager.
Update
I noticed one more problem in your configure.ac.
AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT macro expands to a set of default includes and can't be used here. It is not needed also. It will be used by default in your AC_CHECK_HEADER macro, as you omit last parameter.
This is the cause of line 4427: #include: command not found error you mention.
Update to your comment
First of all, running a system command itself, like lsb_release is not portable. You should first check, for example with AC_CHECK_PROG, for its presence.
Regarding the syntax I would first get the output of the command using backticks: result=`lsb_release -cs` and later test resulting output: test "x$result" = "xvivid". x is needed to avoid problems with empty value in some shells.
At last, I have doubts whether configure script is a proper place for all this distro specific messages. You may consider placing it in the README file.
Avoid those system specific messages.
Print one message which allows people to figure out what package to install on their respective system, but avoid naming the system specific package names and system specific installation tools.
You will never be able to add messages for all systems, so it is better to go the part of the way which you know and let your users go the rest of the way because they know their systems better than you can.
The proper way would be to write a software package outside but called from your configure which, given a header filename, foo.pc filename, library name, etc. figures out how to install that on the respective system. Then let system specific maintainers fix that package, and call it from configure if it is installed, and issue a generic error message otherwise.
A portable shell script local to your software package might do the same job to some extent. You still have to maintain all the system specific parts for all possible systems, though.
Hmm... now that I am thinking about that, the idea appears not that bad. I might add such a script to some of the projects I maintain and see how it turns out in practical use.
I would still try to keep most of that logic outside configure, though.
[Note: This is ALMOST a duplicate of Linking to a library that hasn't been built yet with CMake, but in this case the unbuilt library is coming from an ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET rather than an ADD_LIBRARY, so CMake can't work its usual magic so effectively.]
One of my CMake 2.8 projects currently has the following code:
# the COMMAND was heavily simplified but you get the idea
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(custom_breakpad_target ALL
COMMAND cd ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/google-breakpad && make
)
# now here we are in the root "CMakeLists.txt"
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/google-breakpad/src/client/linux)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(hello)
# ...many lines of code...
ADD_DEPENDENCIES(hello custom_breakpad_target)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(hello breakpad)
I know that LINK_DIRECTORIES has been deprecated (or at least disdained) because of its weird placement (it has to go before ADD_EXECUTABLE even though we'd really like to put it down next to the TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES). Also, there's this nifty new command FIND_LIBRARY. So I'd like to write the root "CMakeLists.txt" more like this:
ADD_EXECUTABLE(hello)
# ...many lines of code...
ADD_DEPENDENCIES(hello custom_breakpad_target)
FIND_LIBRARY(breakpad breakpad ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/google-breakpad/src/client/linux)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(hello breakpad)
This code works fine... until I "make clean". The next rebuild fails to find breakpad, because it has been rm'ed and not created again yet by the time the FIND_LIBRARY runs.
How can I make this work? or make something work that's more elegant than what I've got?
So far, the best I've got is
ADD_EXECUTABLE(hello)
# ...many lines of code...
ADD_DEPENDENCIES(hello custom_breakpad_target)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(hello ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/google-breakpad/src/client/linux/libbreakpad_client.a)
This has the aesthetic disadvantage of having to explicitly write out the "libxxx.a" filename, whereas, as I understand it, FIND_LIBRARY would uncomplainingly continue to work even if we switched to "libxxx.1.so".
Building external targets through custom commands is very difficult to get right. CMake offers the ExternalProject module to assist with that.
With this module external libraries get build at CMake configure time - that is when running cmake for the first time and not when running make to build your actual project. This has the advantage that all of the files are already in place when configuring your project, so it is easy to locate them using a find script or a CMake configure file.
This approach of course only makes sense if the external library does not change frequently, because rebuilding the library requires running CMake again. If you need to recompile the external library upon changes by just running make, the best way to make it work is still to write a full-fledged CMakeLists.txt for it and pull that in with add_subdirectory.
I am extremely new to haskell and I have been searching all over the web but I haven't been able to solve my problem. I downloaded the Quipper package but I have not been able to get haskell to recognize where all of the modules and files are and how to properly link everything.
I have downloaded all of the files and programs and installed them properly, I just dont know how to get haskell to recognize the quipper libraries and templates. Evey time I try:
:load And_gate.hs or some other file.
I get:
Could not find module "Quipper" or its respective modules it requires.
I don't think it is an error or anything, I think it is just my lack of knowledge on how haskell works.
I'm using windows 7.
So I emailed Peter Selinger, one of the professors who created Quipper.
The only thing I need to do extra was inside MSYS:
ghci -iC:/quipper -iC:/quipper/quipper
This complies everything correctly and the files run properly.
Here is his email to me:
Dear -----,
thanks for writing. Let me see if I can help.
Are you following the instructions in the README file? Under "Building
the various algorithms and programs", the instruction is to run
"make". This would build all of the tests in the "tests" directory
automatically.
Next, to compile a Quipper program, you should use the "quipper"
script that is located in quipper/scripts. It works just like "ghc",
except that it automatically includes the correct directories for
Quipper's files in the search path. On Windows, you would be using
"quipper.bat".
Quipper is not really meant to be run interactively, i.e., from ghci.
However, if you do need to run Quipper interactively, I recommend
using the "quipperi" script, also in quipper/scripts. This too would
set the load paths correctly. In Windows, use "quipperi.bat".
Finally, if you need to include Quipper stuff from ghci, but for some
reason can't or don't want to use the quipperi script, you need to
specify those directories with the "-i" option, for example
ghci -iC:/quipper -iC:/quipper/quipper
It could be that in Windows, you need to use "\" instead of "/", but I
am not sure if this is necessary.
I hope this helps, -- Peter
When compiling and exe with ghc just make sure you include the commands:
-iC:/quipper -iC:/quipper/quipper.
If you use the quipper script as suggested by Professor Selinger, inside of MSYS do the following:
Navigate to the folder in which all of the Quipper files are held, this was my case:
cd C:/quipper/quipper/scripts
Then type quipper and your file's location in MSYS to compile an exe like so:
quipper C:/quipper/tests/And_gate.hs
The file will compile and should print updates like so:
[1 of 22] Compiling Libraries.Typeable (......
[2 of 22] Compiling Libraries.Tuple (......
and so on.
The exe (in this case And_gate.exe) will be inside the folder it was compiled from (C:/quipper/tests). You'll need to move it to a folder that contains the acroread.bat which comes in quipper/scripts for it to work properly.
For some reason, this code isn't packaged as a standard Haskell package. It if were, installing it would be fairly simple. As it is, the instructions in the README file look awful (especially under Windows, where it looks like you need MSYS to run the makefile).
Your problem might be as simple as telling GHCi which folder to look in to find the files; you can do that using the :cd command. Since you're on Windows, I'd suggest trying WinGHCi, which should allow you to browse to the right folder using the GUI.
If it isn't that simple... really, as a Haskell beginner, you're probably going to struggle to get this working. The documentation looks pretty minimal.
If you red both README and INSTALLING.windows and did everything as well, then you should add a path to Quipper's script folder to environment variable. Here is the path:
quipper-*/quipper/scripts/
where quipper-* is a <distribution name>-<version>.
There are two important scripts in that folder. The first one is quipper.bat which runs a ghc compiler to run Quipper's modules. The second one is quipperi.bat which is a ghci analogue for Quipper.
Now, when you added a path to variable, you can run And_gate.hs in Quipper's interpreter as follows:
quipperi And_gate.hs
I got this error while (re)building, using cygwin make.exe version :3.81.
Error : *** target pattern contains no `%'.
This error is due to a presence of a ":". Therefore it no longer supports windows paths.
You need to download version 3.80 and replace the make.exe in the \bin directory.
Apparently it needs cygintl12.dll too.
rollback to make 3.80 (Geant4)
cd /usr/bin
mv make.exe make_381.exe
wget http://geant4.cern.ch/support/extras/cygwin/make.exe
chmod +x make.exe
install libintl2 from cygwin setup for the required cygintl-2.dll
I got the same error when trying to build a project on Linux or OSX, that was previously built on a Windows machine and had some .o.d files hanging around in the output folder.
Once I manually deleted the .o.d files the problem was resolved. Apparently the "Clean" command of my IDE (CodeLite in this case) wasn't deleting the .o.d files.
Most likely due to the presence of a colon following a drive letter. For example consider
build : $(NativeHeaders)/*
If
NativeHeaders=../../../cpp/generated
then all is well, but
NativeHeaders=C:/dev/folder/cpp/generated
results in the error that you get.
I was getting this error because I didn't have a Tab (\t) character at the beginning of my commands. I had expandtab in my vim set so it was replacing a tab character with 4 spaces. When I turned that off and changed spaces to a tab it was fixed
I had the target pattern contains no '%' error while building with the Android NDK using cygwin.
I found the following link helpful:
Errors Generated by Make
‘missing target pattern. Stop.’
‘multiple target patterns. Stop.’
‘target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.’
‘mixed implicit and static pattern rules. Stop.’
These are generated for malformed static pattern rules. The first means there’s no pattern in the target section of the rule; the second means there are multiple patterns in the target section; the third means the target doesn’t contain a pattern character (%); and the fourth means that all three parts of the static pattern rule contain pattern characters (%)–only the first two parts should. If you see these errors and you aren’t trying to create a static pattern rule, check the value of any variables in your target and prerequisite lists to be sure they do not contain colons. See Syntax of Static Pattern Rules.
And so, my solution included changing my system variables from Windows format to Unix format like so:
Instead of C:\Android\android-ndk-r10c, I used /cygdrive/c/Android/android-ndk-r10c for the NDK path.
Similarly, I changed the NDK project path to /cygdrive/c/Android/project/src/main/jni.
In my case I was using CMake under Cygwin when I got this error. It turned out the Windows version of CMake was executed. Subsequently, Windows paths were used in the make file. I installed Cygwin's version of CMake through the setup program and got it working.
I had this problem on Linux when the build directory contained a ":" caused by doing a mercurial checkout which created a directory named "server:port".
I had to change the following in my make file to be compatible with Make_381:
before:
ARDUINO_BASE_DIR = C:\programs/arduino
now:
ARDUINO_BASE_DIR = \\programs/arduino
Try this if you're running Eclipse C/C++ and referencing files from Cygwin under Windows, make sure c:/cygwin/bin or c:/cygwin64/bin comes after your preferred compiler tools in your Windows Path environment.
Example:
Path = ;C:\yagarto\bin;C:\yagarto-tools\bin;C:\cygwin64\bin;
After making the changes, exit Eclipse and restart for it to take effect (simply restarting Eclipse without exiting won't fix the problem.
In my project, obj folder was probably corrupted and I was getting this error. Manually deleted obj folder. Then ndk-build completed fine.
