CodeBlocks SVN9660 does not build on windows (zip error: Nothing to do!)

[BuFran]

Hi guys,

  I'd like to implement some requested features, that is nice for me. But i have problems with CodeBlocks build.

Steps that I was do:

• Checked out latest SVN 9660
• unpacked precompiled wxmsw 2.8.12
• correctly set global vars wx and cb_release_type
• executed update.bat (as seen on some forum that this can fix this problem)
• run rebuild in current nightly CodeBlocks

After above steps, following is printed in build log:

Code

Running target pre-build steps
build_tools\autorevision\autorevision +wx +int +t . include/autorevision.h

-------------- Build: sdk in Code::Blocks wx2.8.x (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

Target is up to date.
Running target post-build steps
cmd /c if not exist devel\share\CodeBlocks mkdir devel\share\CodeBlocks
zip -jq9 devel\share\CodeBlocks\manager_resources.zip sdk\resources\*.xrc
cmd /c "cd sdk\resources & zip -0 -q ..\..\devel\share\CodeBlocks\manager_resources.zip images\*.png images\12x12\*.png images\16x16\*.png"
zip error: Nothing to do! (devel\share\CodeBlocks\manager_resources.zip)
Process terminated with status 12 (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))
1 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))

When I execute command

Code

cd sdk\resources & zip -0 -q ..\..\devel\share\CodeBlocks\manager_resources.zip images\*.png images\12x12\*.png images\16x16\*.png

from the top-level subversion directory, it prints "zip error: nothing to do !", but if I cd to src dir (the one with codeblocks project dirs), the above zip command succeeds.

Seems that I have somewhere wrong configuration of project root folder, but i cannot find where :-(

When I tried to remove all zip commands from all post-build steps, build succeeds, but C::B cannot run (Error 0xC6000005) as this can be expected.

Could anyone help me please ?

Regards,

  Frantisek

Have you run the update.bat script?
Have it worked with older revisions?

Try inverting the backslashes '\' to forward slashes '/' in the command line or try zip from gnuwin32 project. Might work.

[BuFran]

Yeah I had run update.bat before test. I am new so I don't know if this was working before.

Is this zip the right one ? (I am running Mingw/MSYS)

[scarphin]

1- What is your OS?
2- Did you try the forward slash '/' trick?
3- I don't know if your zip is ok or not but the one from gnuwin32 project works fine with backslashes. I had that problem before and the zip I use from msys didn't work correctly with backslashes.

Windows 7
I'll try the slashes change now.

I am investigating which tool set will best fit with most of projects. Currently i have mingw/msys - seems some packages from msys is failing (make for example - replaced by one from gnuwin32), so I will try the cygwin later. If there is somewhere installer for entire gnuwin32 system, i will be happy.

[BuFran]

Yeah,

unchanged slashes but replaced zip by the gnuwin32 one, and compilation succeeded Voilá. Thanks !!!

So now I have problems with run of the executable :-(

When I try to run it, the "application error" dialog popped up. (Error 0xC0000005)

Seems that I have missing something somewhere else.

Now trying to rebuild all (previously built and runned only "core & plugins" target)

Is there a way to set up the compiler to be the build faster ? (to use more threads as -j parameter in make)

I don't have any slashes or backslash issue, but please note that when you run the "zip" command, the msys/bin and cygwin/bin path should not exist in your PATH variable. You should use a zip executable which is native, I mean, don't use zip from msys or cygwin.

BuFran: You have to probably run the update.bat script.
