Your \ and / issue points out rather simply that unicon -C hasn't fully been
ported to Windows yet, and even if we fix this little issue and get it to run,
you will need a C compiler for the generated code, and someone will have to
build the runtime system rt.a and rt.db on Windows. Maybe most of the port has
been done awhile back by Shea, but it is not in the public Unicon binaries yet.
I'll check on all this and report back.

Clint,
Now I understand. I suppose that mix of "\" and "/" is produced by "../"
somewhere internally in unicon. To avoid same problem (as I use my code on
Windows and Unix transparently) I define path-separator character. "\" for
Windows and "/" for Unix and all is fine!
Thank you for reference to utr11, it's quite informative and no more questions.
Thanks!

Dear Sergey,
I agree that "ca-add-link" ... "not ready" is not a very good message. It is
easy to see the spot in the code (uni/unicon/ca.icn) where the error message is
emitted. It is less transparent what is the cause, and what is the fix. One
possibility is the mixture of \ and / as path separators seen in the message.
The error message occurs when a "table of all the ucode files", uftbl, does not
have a table entry for the requested file, in this case
c:\\work\\unicon\\bin\\../ipl/gprocs\\graphics.icn
I can imagine the table having that path to graphics.icn inserted, but all with
\\ or all with /. Unlike a C open() command, a table lookup will not accept
either character as equivalent. I will need to experiment on a Windows machine
to try and reproduce your bug and find out if it has to do with \\ vs. / or
something else, unless you or someone else beats me to it. If it is \ and /
mixing that is the problem, it should be pretty easy to fix.
In answer to your other question, I agree that unicon -help is swell. The man
page for unicon is http://unicon.org/utr/utr11.html and if the -help output or
the utr11.html are unclear, we want to know about it so we can make additions
and corrections to them.
Cheers,
Clint

Hello Clint,
Unfortunately, I didn't managed to build my lovely program with -C option. I
got the following (that's the end of long output):
Parsing xm.icn:

Parsing process.icn: ......................................................
Parsing options.icn: .

"c:\\work\\unicon\\bin\\../ipl/gprocs\\graphics.icn" not ready.
I don't understand what does it mean - "not ready". Could you please dechipher
this message. I have "link graphics" in my code and I sure that it is already
compiled. Without option -C all is built fine.
As for option -fs, in my humble opinion it should be always. As I understand if
I have some procedures in code which are not called they will be removed during
compilation as redundant. But it's not my case, I need such procedures
definitly, as my program interprets and runs "on-the-fly" scripts written in
simplified Icon/Unicon and these scripts can include any available procedural
calls. It's slightly extended version of an approach firstly implemented by
Stephen Wampler in IPL's icalc.icn.
Maybe you can advice some more advanced approach to me? I will be very
appreciated to you.
Sincerely,
Sergey Logichev
PS. I was very happy to see option -help for uncion! That's really great! Does
it exist more complete description of each option in docs?

Dear Uniconers,
Lots of exciting work is getting done by the Unicon community right now. I
hope you are having a blast.
Just to let you know: after several of you reported programs that would run
under unicon -C but only if the -fs option was used, I went ahead and asked Ken
Walker if there was any reason not to turn -fs on all the time, other than the
slightly larger code size it would entail. He indicated that actually using
string invocation (the feature -fs was written to support) reduces the
effectiveness of type inferencing, but that leaving -fs on was fine if we don't
mind the code size.
So, I turned on -fs automatically if -C is used in unicon, in our svn
repository. It allows a number of Unicon programs to compile or run correctly
that otherwise do not. But, if you encounter any problems due to it, I want to
hear about them and could change the default back if it has any really bad side
effects. If you are using a binary distribution or building from a .zip this
change won't affect you for now.
Cheers,
Clint
