eRROR WHILE COMPILING WXWIDGETS

[ac506in]

hI ALL

This is first time i am trying to use wxwidgets with c::B.
I am trying to compile wxwidgets and getting following error
D:\wxWidgets-2.6.2\build\msw>mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc  MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1
 UNICODE=1 BUILD=release
if not exist gcc_mswudll mkdir gcc_mswudll
Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then")
mingw32-make: [gcc_mswudll] Error 2 (ignored)
if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_dll mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_dll
Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then")
mingw32-make: *** [..\..\lib\gcc_dll] Error 2


I guess mingw32-make.exe doesnt understand syntax properly. I tried to build it with VC++2005 and it compiled with no errors.

But i need to use C::B , can someone help me so that i can use gcc compiler...

thanks...

Your make is too old. You need 3.8, none less.

...and do not use MSYS...

What's wrong with MSYS?  It works fine for me.

I am already using make with version 3.80 and what is MSYS?

What's wrong with MSYS?  It works fine for me.

If you run make from within MSYS, it runs it in the "unix-way", i.e. it doesn't use the DOS interpreter. This essentially means that commands like this

Code

if not exist gcc_mswudll mkdir gcc_mswudll

are invalid (the above command is in DOS-style syntax).

In other words, if you open the MSYS window you open a unix-like shell interpreter. The above command would only work under a DOS interpreter.
And, although I haven't used it, I think the same goes for cygwin too...

I've always compiled wxWidgets with MSYS with no problems. Don Corleone could just mean "don't use MSYS' make to do it the MinGW way".

MSYS: A Minimal SYStem to provide POSIX/Bourne configure scripts the ability to execute and create a Makefile used by make.

Basically: a console and a bunch of other utilities to do *nix like things under Windows using MinGW as compiler.

Any idea what is wrong with makefile.gcc???

Nothing 's wrong with it.

Did you check the output of make -v tells you it's version 3.80 or bigger?

What's the error this time?
