    I think the command  is too long (to make exe from .o)

    Is there any FLAG where i can pass this limitation ?

    So the tool calls the linker (g++.exe) with a HUUGE list of object files. I guess the command is too long

    What solution shall i make ? Splitting the source code into smaller folder doesnt seems to work and its unreliable since the file number and filename length matters

    Is this forum dead lol ?

    I cant imagine i am the only one who compiles +1000 files.

    Is it possible to give as input to mingw linker *.o instead of the full list of objects file ?

    Maybe possible to tell the linker to make  a list of object files in a file and give this file as input ?

     

    Anyone ?!

    Hi,

    Our support is located in the PST timezone, so we could not have answered you earlier. Sorry about that.

    You can configure VisualGDB to pass a list of source files via response files by modifying your Makefile as follows:

    ifeq ($(TARGETTYPE),APP)
    $(BINARYDIR)/$(TARGETNAME): $(all_objs) $(EXTERNAL_LIBS)
     $(LD) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS) $(START_GROUP) $(all_objs) $(LIBRARY_LDFLAGS) $(END_GROUP)
    endif

    should be replaced with this:

    ifeq ($(TARGETTYPE),APP)
    $(BINARYDIR)/$(TARGETNAME): $(all_objs) $(EXTERNAL_LIBS)
     @echo $(all_objs) > $@.in
     $(LD) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS) $(START_GROUP) @$@.in $(LIBRARY_LDFLAGS) $(END_GROUP)
    endif

    Hi

    It didnt worked

    The linker command looks wrong

    I wonder how you build this 9000+ files  linux kernel -_-” using visualGDB … Really insipring

    Hi,

    Could you check the contents/size of the Debug/WindowsProject1.exe.in file? Does it list the files correctly or is it cut off?

    Regarding the Linux Kernel, we actually have a separate project for that – VisualKernel. You can look through this tutorial to get a brief idea: http://sysprogs.com/VisualKernel/tutorials/kernel/

    Ofcourse it list the files correctly

    I also tried this

    ifeq ($(TARGETTYPE),APP)
    $(BINARYDIR)/$(TARGETNAME): $(all_objs) $(EXTERNAL_LIBS)
    <TAB>@echo -g > $@.in
    <TAB>$(foreach obj,$(all_objs),cmd /c “echo $(obj) >> $@.in”)
    <TAB> $(LD) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS) $(START_GROUP) @$@.in $(LIBRARY_LDFLAGS) $(END_GROUP)
    endif

    For the first variant there is the file “WindowsProject1.exe.in” in debug -_-

    The first solution truncates the .c files with char length >~34 characters. So then it cant find them when linking…

     

    1>  C:/SysGCC/mingw32/bin/g++.exe -o Debug/17_01_Dev.exe -Wl,-Map,BswSim.map -Wl,–allow-multiple-definition    -Wl,–start-group @Debug/17_01_Dev.exe.in    -Wl,–end-group

    The second variant

    ifeq ($(TARGETTYPE),APP)
    $(BINARYDIR)/$(TARGETNAME): $(all_objs) $(EXTERNAL_LIBS)
    <TAB>@echo -g > $@.in
    <TAB>$(foreach obj,$(all_objs),cmd /c “echo $(obj) >> $@.in”)
    <TAB> $(LD) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS) $(START_GROUP) @$@.in $(LIBRARY_LDFLAGS) $(END_GROUP)
    endif

    gives error

    1>  The system cannot execute the specified program.
    1>  mingw32-make: *** [Debug/17_01_Dev.exe] Error 1

     

    And in the Debug folder beside .dep and .o there is one 17_01_Dev.exe.in who contains “-g”

     

    Heeeelp

     

    #8674

    With the first variant there is on 17_01_Dev.exe.in which contains the list of objects like

    Debug/file2.o Debug/file1.o …

    The last object name in this file is

    Debug/DcmAppl_DcmCheckRdbiResponseLengh

    but my file is in the Debug folder is

    DcmAppl_DcmCheckRdbiResponseLength.o

    Its missing the “t”

    Also the file 17_01_Dev.exe.in doesnt contain the list of all my objects

    I have objects from A to X alphabetically but it stops at D

    (in notepad it says it has 8191 characters)

     

    WTF O_O

    Finally it works with this !!

     

    ifeq ($(TARGETTYPE),APP)
    $(BINARYDIR)/$(TARGETNAME): $(all_objs) $(EXTERNAL_LIBS)
    $(file >$@.in,$^)
    $(LD) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS) $(START_GROUP) @$@.in $(LIBRARY_LDFLAGS) $(END_GROUP)
    endif
