FreeBSD 9.0, "need operator" error

[CanOfBees]

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been addressed before. Several searches (and a couple of different fix attempts) haven't yielded a solution to this problem.

CodeLite version: 4.0.5589
OS: FreeBSD 9.0/PC-BSD 9.0 amd64, Lxde
I've updated my gdb from 6.1.1 to 7.3.1.

When I try to build and run a project ("Hello World"), I get the following error in the Build tab:

Code: Select all

----------Build Started--------
/bin/sh -c '"make"  -j 2 -f "genericWorkspace_wsp.mk"'
----------Building project:[ HelloWorld - Debug ]----------
"HelloWorld.mk", line 87: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
*** Error code 1
1 error
----------Build Ended----------
0 errors, 0 warnings

I've tried to enable Debugging, but I don't seem to be getting any debugging output. Any suggestions or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Here is the HelloWorld.mk file:

Hi,

I've tried to enable Debugging, but I don't seem to be getting any debugging output.

Well, no. Debugging symbols are for when you run the built binary, not for the build process.

Warning: I know almost nothing about BSDs, so some of what follows may be entirely inaccurate/inappropriate. Still, that's never stopped me before .

One obvious thing to check is whether you have a full set of 'build' tools: 'make', 'gcc' etc. Try building HelloWorld in a terminal outside CodeLite and see if it works; if not, the error message is likely to be more helpful.

To Linux eyes, '/usr/home/CanOfBees/Documents/genericWorkspace/HelloWorld/main.cpp' seems a strange filepath. Does it exist? Is it intentional? Do you have the necessary permissions to process files there (in Linux, /usr/ is root-owned)?

The error mentions line 87, which in the posted code is: -include $(IntermediateDirectory)/*$(DependSuffix). That line is correct for a CodeLite mk file. Is it your line 87? If not, which is?

I hope some that that helps.

Regards,

David

Which 'make' do you use ?
It seems there are incompatibilities between BSD make and GNU make.

You can change the make used :
In Settings -> Build Settings...
Build Systems,'Build Tool:'.

Hi David & Jarod42 -- thanks for the replies!

...snip...

(I'm pretty sure that) I have all of the necessary build tools -- make, gmake, gcc, g++, cc, etc. I think part of the issue may be that the Build settings weren't pointed towards gmake.

To Linux eyes, '/usr/home/CanOfBees/Documents/genericWorkspace/HelloWorld/main.cpp' seems a strange filepath. Does it exist? Is it intentional? Do you have the necessary permissions to process files there (in Linux, /usr/ is root-owned)?

Yes to all your questions! Root owns down to home/ and then I have processing permissions below that.

The error mentions line 87, which in the posted code is: -include $(IntermediateDirectory)/*$(DependSuffix). That line is correct for a CodeLite mk file. Is it your line 87? If not, which is?

Yes, that's my line 87.

I hope some that that helps.

David

Absolutely! Thank you!

You can change the make used :
In Settings -> Build Settings...
Build Systems,'Build Tool:'.

I'll test this directly! Thank you for the suggestion!

Thanks to Jarod42 & DavidGH for their kind assistance.

For anyone else coming up against this problem in FreeBSD (and not immediately knowing how to fix it)...

Settings > Build settings > Build Systems tab is where you can redirect from the FreeBSD make ([pb]make) to gmake.

Code: Select all

> which gmake
/usr/local/bin/gmake

You can probably key the file path directly, or use the Browse button.

Cheers!
