I have spend some time trying to fix src package.

I believe it should now work quite fine on most system, including initial U++ setup.

I mean

make
make install
~/theide

and you should be running.

I would be glad to hear reports how well it really works. Anybody with POSIX system, please report!

(If you happen to fix 'domake' or 'doinstall' scripts too, post here Wink

I got it working eventually, but it really needed some help.

First:
sh domake
domake: line 18: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make: *** [all] Error 2

This is caused because lines are terminated by CRLF instead of just LF(posix style).

Second:
I had my subversion sources in ~/uppsvn, the whole src script is hardcoded to use ~/upp.src

Third:
The script uses ~/bin/theide, this should be configurable or autodetected(preferable)

Fourth:
The script starts removing stuff! This is really dangerous considering the generic named ~/upload, ~/upp.tmp is more safe because it has the product name in it. (even though everyone should have backups of course Smile)

Fifth:
It doesn't copy the uppsrc directory to ~/upp.tmp , I'll give it a look later if this is the correct way.

My own insights:
Theoretically on linux it is preferably to do everything within the unpacked source tree, incl. temporary files. And you will still need an initial binary to generate the Makefile, or is this going to be included with every stable release?

I am working on some changes for the src script to autodetect points 2 and 3. I will add that later.

I am afraid we got two things mixed. I am speaking about the 'product', downloadable here:

http://code.google.com/p/upp-mirror/downloads/detail?name=up p-src-1078.tar.gz&can=2&q=#makechanges

I believe you are, at least partially, speaking about infrastructure scripts used to create this 'product'.

Am I right?

Still, CRLF issue perhaps holds, but I have not had any problems with it yet. What system you are on?

Ah yes! Laughing

Well I tried again, and the domake file had the same issue as before. (fixed with the command "busybox dos2unix domake").

I use: Gentoo Linux 2.6.28-hardened-r7 #1 SMP x86_64 AMD GNU/Linux

After that it compiled correctly. And also does not have any of the above mentioned 'issues'.

Hello luzr

I had the same problem that phirox had but the fix "busybox dos2unix domake" also worked for me.

Ide compiled right: Ubuntu 8.10 32 bits.

Hello luzr

When I enter http://code.google.com/p/upp-mirror/downloads/list I see in the top of the list:

upp-win32-1091.exe automated_build 83 minutes ago
upp-src-1078.tar.gz nightly_build 43 hours ago


It seem it is not possible to get the corresponding upp-src-1091.tar.gz file.

One question

Now the file that appears is "upp-x11-src-1091.tar.gz".

Does it mean that it only can be used in Posix systems?

Well, the make/install (Makefile, doinstall) process is for X11/GCC systems only (and, I guess, right now it will not work on all either - but that is something to fix gradually).

Of course, there are standard U++ packages with universal sources in it.

I believe it might work on all x86 Linuxes and maybe all BSDs, somebody should check with Solaris...

does not work on solaris sparc with gcc 4.3
I think the problem is

#if __linux
#define PLATFORM_LINUX 1
#else // ToDo
#define PLATFORM_BSD 1
#define PLATFORM_FREEBSD 1
#endif

I am about to prepare the next OpenBSD patch set (the last one was not included by Mirek until now), I modified this section to:
#if __unix || __unix__
...
#if __linux
        #define PLATFORM_LINUX 1
#else // ToDo
        #if _FreeBSD_
                 #define PLATFORM_BSD 1
                 #define PLATFORM_FREEBSD 1
        #elif _OpenBSD_
                 #define PLATFORM_BSD 1
                 #define PLATFORM_OPENBSD 1
        #else
                 #error Unknown OS !
        #endif
#endif
#endif


I do not have the actual code here, but it could also be __*BSD__ instead of _*BSD_. And maybe one could use _Solaris_ for Solaris OS or whatever is defined by installed GCC.

This is for solaris, works for both the sun compiler and gcc.

It is actually sort of question whether we need both (BSD and specificBSD). In fact, I guess I should change all #ifdef PLATFORM_FREEBSD to just PLATFORM_BSD.

If you are going to fix for OpenBSD, this is the first thing to try.

Well, through the code, there is PLATFORM_SOLARIS used...

There where subtle differences in the past between FreeBSD and OpenBSD, that is why I still needed PLATFORM_OPENBSD.
I will double check ...

Here it is:
http://www.ultimatepp.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=209 74&#msg_20974
PLATFORM_BSD flag unification seems to work Cool.
I also added NetBSD, but cannot test it here, maybe somebody can check that ...
