Hello everyone. It’s my one-a-year delurking post. :)
Recently (within the last month), I have been unable to build parrot
successfully. I have been building Parrot (for a couple of years now!) on a
Win7 (32-bit) box using ActivePerl 5.14.2 and Visual Studio 9.0, not GCC.
Also, I always build with the ICU libraries. Here is my call to Configure:
perl Configure.pl --icushared="c:\usr\lib\icu\lib\icudt.lib
c:\usr\lib\icu\lib\icuuc.lib" --icuheaders="c:\usr\lib\icu\include"
When running nmake to build parrot, I receive the following error:
cl -I./include -I./include/pmc -nologo -GF -W4 -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -DWIN32
-D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DUSE_SITECUSTOMIZE -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T
-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE -DHASATTRIBUTE_DEPRECATED -wd4101
-DHASATTRIBUTE_NORETURN -wd4101 -isystem "c:\usr\lib\icu\include" -Zi
-wd4127 -wd4054 -wd4310 -Isrc/ops -Isrc/ -Fosrc/ops/core_ops.obj -c
src/ops/core_ops.c

src/ops/core_ops.c(70) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'unicode/uchar.h': No such file or directory
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\BIN\cl.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
It seems obvious that it does not understand the following: -isystem
"c:\usr\lib\icu\include".
I have since changed config/auto/icu.pm to produce: -I”c:\usr\lib\icu\include”,
as it was before, and everything runs fine.
I believe that using –isystem was introduced to fix a Mac related issue, but
the fix appears to break compilation on systems using MSVC++.
Hopefully, I'll post more often; I wish to increase my involvement beyond
posting my results from smolder_test and smolder_fulltest -- like creating
defect reports (and fixing them) instead of entering them here. :)
