[OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] build.win64x64 fails: No rule to make target 'build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.lib' (#568)
I want to learn about plugin development and intended to start with a VM build first. Using Cygwin 64 bits with mingw64-x86_64-clang, I build from the build.win64x64/squeak.cog.spur directory.
The build fails at this point; notably it is not a compiler error, but a make error:
``` ... rm -f build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.ignore make BUILD=build \ -f /cygdrive/c/Squeak/Wincred-Plugin/opensmalltalk-vm/build.win64x64/common/Makefile.plugin \ build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.lib make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/c/Squeak/Wincred-Plugin/opensmalltalk-vm/build.win64x64/squeak.cog.spur' make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.lib'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Squeak/Wincred-Plugin/opensmalltalk-vm/build.win64x64/squeak.cog.spur' make: *** [../common/Makefile:280: build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.lib] Error 2 ```
I think I followed all the instructions of the main README.md and build.win64x64/HowToBuild. What can I do to deal with this issue and get the build going?
Invoked the build with `./mvm -f`.
I have tried to comment out plugins from the plugins.int file. It seems that all of them run into the same issue. I have given up that attempt after I reached DropPlugin and it still reported "No rule to make target 'build/vm/DropPlugin.lib'."
Not sure if this helps (I don't have Windows to check) but there are unresolved issues in the Linux builds that may affect you here also, see https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/562. Suggestion - try checking out the fix_include_order branch and see if it works, or check out any older version prior to aafcb78371c7e576073a8dbf2f1f32667568e05e.
Thank you David, on the fix_include_order branch, the build works, although I could not quite believe it at first.
Now I suppose that the Makefile system does not stop early enough on errors, because it did not reveal the actual errors that happened before the libraries were found missing. I guess I will find them in the log if I switch the branch again and scroll up, but in my opinion, this should not be necessary.
Anyway, I can continue my learning path now. :-)
Closed #568.
Fixed and merged. #572
