VisualGDB fails to give proper error to build fail

[b.timofte]

I have the output

..huge list of files

 

-Wl,–end-group, …) failed.

What should i understand from this ? Where is the  error lol ?

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

[b.timofte]

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/

[b.timofte]

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

 

[b.timofte]

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

[b.timofte]

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
1>g++.exe : error : Debug/TRUNCATEDFILENAME: No such file or directory
1>  Makefile:137: recipe for target ‘Debug/17_01_Dev.exe’ failed
1>  mingw32-make: *** [Debug/17_01_Dev.exe] Error 1

[b.timofte]

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

 

[b.timofte]

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
