I try to use Open Watcom with C::B and have some problems with it.
1. I can't specify path of the libs for the linker. wcl386.exe uses wlink directive for it. It's look like:
wcl386.exe -"LIBPath <path> ..."
Another way. If I write directly in linker field in commands tab -"LIBPath $libdirs", that will be also incorrect, cause all paths in that directive must delimited by ";", not by space as in C::B.
How can I resolve this problem?
2. I can't link resource file to exe. wcl386.exe writes that it unknown object file. I try to use wrc.exe with -zm option for Microsoft .res compatible file, but it also not work. So, what to do?
3. How can I specify PCH file for the project? I try to use -fh option with specify "watcom.pch" file, but while compiling, this file was recreated for every cpp file in the project.
Who can help me with my problems?
imho, some errors in c::b code:
compilerOW.cpp
52: m_Programs.MAKE = wxT("mingw32-make.exe"); // need "wmake.exe"?
...
55: m_Switches.libDirs = wxT("-L"); // it's not watcom option
...
341: m_RegExes.Add(RegExStruct(_("Note"), cltError, wxT("([A-Za-z0-9_:/\\.-]+)\\(([0-9]+)\\): Note! (.+)"), 3, 1, 2)); // must be cltInfo instead of cltError
p.s. sorry for "nice" English :)
project (or you can even put on compiler level) : Directories tab (or Linker tab maybe for other settins)
and what? of course, I write my paths here, but full command line looks like:
wcl386.exe -LC:\wxWidgets\lib\wat_dll -LC:\wxWidgets\lib -L..\..\lib -LC:\watcom\lib
I have the changes ready to commit, but you will have to manually adjust your defaul.conf anyway, unless you delete it [otherwise the changes in the CB soures won't have any effect].
Change this in your default.conf to try out, to see if it works (note nothing to do with wx wizard !!) :
- look for <ow>
- then the subtag <Make> and change from :
<MAKE>
<str>
<![CDATA[mingw32-make.exe]]>
</str>
</MAKE>
to
<MAKE>
<str>
<![CDATA[wmake.exe]]>
</str>
</MAKE>
then look for the subtag(s) : <switches> <LIBS>
and change from :
<LIBS>
<str>
<![CDATA[-L]]>
</str>
</LIBS>
<LIBS>
<str>
<![CDATA[-LIBpath]]>
</str>
</LIBS>
and finally look for <regex><re001> and change from
to
that last one will change it to cltNormal, we don't have cltInfo, so not sure if this will have the desired effect
Please provide a simple line of code that will trigger a *note*. According to the dropdown box the "Info" should map to cltNormal.
Please provide us with your feedback, so I can commit this evening the fixed code.
EDIT : Make sure all cb instances are closed when you make this changes !
Thanks all for help! :)

Please provide us with your feedback, so I can commit this evening the fixed code.
I already change it before.
But -libpath not work, as I write before.
If the name of a library file appearing in a "LIBRARY" directive or the the name of an object
file appearing in a "LIBFILE" directive contains a path specification, only the specified path
will be searched.
Note that
libpath path1
libpath path2
is equivalent to the following.
libpath path2;path1
It's docs for wlink.exe. For wcl386.exe directive must be in quotes: -"libpath path1" or -"libpath path1;path2"

wcl386.exe translate this line to wlink for parsing. so it must be in quotes. Else I get error, cause wcl386.exe parse it as "-l=<os> link for the specified OS".

But if I write libs path in Linker tab like: -"libpath C:\watcom\lib",
c::b translate it to command line like: wcl386.exe "-"libpath C:\watcom\lib"" ...
so it doesn't work(
