My compiler gives me the following error on window once I try to add the setjmp commands despite me having setjmp.h in the include folder and #include <setjmp.h> in my source code:

Code:


How can I fix this please? I also tried putting a copy of setjmp.h in my src folder with #include "setjmp.h" im my source file header instead... as well as taking a copy of setjmp.h from eigenmath project by gbl08ma but nothing fixes this...

Google seems to give results referring 64bit version problems - is it possible that I need different versions of libc.a etc files for SDK on 64-bit Windows machines? Could someone kindly help with this please

It looks like it is missing the actual library definition, not the prototype for the function in the header. You probably just need to fix your version of libc.

Thanks Mateo, this makes sense especially in combination with string commands i had similar problems with.

I will ask Tari to kindly come to my rescue again. I apologise in advance for my inability to fix it myself - I'm willing to learn how to though

Thanks to everyone for kind support here

Should be in a newer copy of libc.a than you have.

http://jenkins.taricorp.net/job/libfxcg/lastSuccessful/archive/lib/

For what it's worth, I implemented setjmp/longjmp for LuaZM, so if that's helpful, feel free to use it. I suspect that's what's in Tari's latest libc.a link anyway.

Thanks, Tari, I have just tried it and it gives me the same error and also judging by the date of the files there (2015-Mar-07) it looks to be the same version I have been using for a while now so I suspect the fix escaped that version - let me know please if I am mistaken or if somehow my browser fails to see more up to date files and shows some cached files. Looking forward to your kind help on this. Kind regards

PS: Thanks for this, Kerm. Shall I worry about what gbl08ma wrote later in there - it seems to indicate some setjmp problems he managed to overcome somehow - a bit above my level of knowledge of compiling and such. :( Plus I'm on Windows...

Untested but should work:

1. Download https://msys2.github.io/
2. Run the mingw batch file found in X:\msys2 where X is a drive letter (which one you choose depends on if your CPU is 32 bit or 64 bit)
4. Install git using pacman -S git
5. Install mingw toolchain. Don't install msys-gcc. Use pacman -Ss to decide which package you should install.
6. Do the same for autotools and make. Start with pacman -Ss to find the package you need.
7. Download the latest version of binutils and gcc and compile that. You can use the following script but modify the paths for windows

Code:

Edit: Cleaned up the script.
Save that as name.sh and run chmod +x name.sh and then ./name.sh but modify the file before running it.
8. run git clone https://github.com/Jonimoose/libfxcg --depth 1
9. run cd libfxcg
10. run mingw32-make
11. Enjoy your fresh windows toolchain using a later version of libraries. You can try one of my forks of libfxcg if you are still having issues.

Thank you very much - i will test this

From reading his post, it looks to me like he never got to try my code. I used Windows to make all of my Prizm programs (including LuaZM), and had no problems.

The setjmp used in my add-ins is the one in my libfxcg fork, which in turn has not been changed from upstream:

https://github.com/gbl08ma/libfxcg/blob/master/libc/setjmp.S

Judging by the commit message, it is KermM's implementation. I have not found any problems with it.

I started going through the steps by Programmer Nerd - thank you very much.

So far I have installed the following (hoping it covers steps 4 to 6 - pacman -Ss gave long list so picked everything what looked relevant):

Code:

... so posting it here for now in case someone else finds it useful but also in case I missed something etc - hopefully I will succeed with this all but must admit it feels quite new and difficult for a Windows user like me :o

Also judging from the script I obtained the following tar.gz:

Code:

I then used 7zip to extract the tars into my C:\TEMP folder

I will start looking at how to modify the script when I get more free time.

Thanks again for all the help here

Hi Again,

I am trying to deal with step 7 script part now. As I added to the previous post already I put binutils-2.26.tar and gcc-5.3.0.tar into my C:\temp folder
and now also another copy into C:\cygwin64\tmp folder just because I hoped /tmp at the top of Programmer Nerd's may mean this.

Anyhow I first saved unmodified script as as name.sh in C:\cygwin64\ but running
chmod +x name.sh was giving the following error:

Code:

but if I run
Code:

no error is produce but nothing happens after even after modifying the script at the top to
Code:


so I am lost now again and not getting less confused after googling it - could you kindly help me with this again please. Many thanks in advance

Amazonka,

Why are you using Cygwin64? I though that you installed msys2. As for the packages you installed those should work just fine. You got pacman working just fine. Run the same batch script that allowed you to run pacman instead of using Cygwin.

Also yes you will need to change where the temporary directory is. Make sure the folder exists before running the script.

Thanks Programmer Nerd, I must have had the other folder from before and confused them half way possibly because of trying some solutions from Google or something after getting those
Code:


So I rechecked this now and put the following script in C:\msys64 :
Code:


So the only changed line was TMPDIR=/c/temp

but still have problems running it with the following error:

Code:

changing to this
Code:
gives no error but still produces nothing...

Thank you so much for looking at it and helping. Kind regards

The reason you are having an issue is because you put the files in the wrong directory.
You need to put the gcc and binutils archives along with the scripts the home directory.Look for a folder that is <whatever your current username is> and put all the files in there.

Dear Programmer Nerd, I have tried again but am very sorry to say still did not manage to move it any further...
here is what I have:
C:\msys64\home\Anna
folder with a few .bash etc file and I copied the previously modified name.sh and 2 tar files binutils-2.26 and gcc-5.3.0 here too.

One thing which stopped happening is the error about not finding the name.sh file but nothing else happens after this. Would you be so kind to help me a bit further - maybe you could try modifying or explaining how to modify the script or rename something given my folder structure is stated above. Many thanks again in advance

Ok I know what the issue is. On windows there is no executable bit. Instead run the script using the following command:

Code:


Also just a note. The only reason I called the script name.sh is to signify that it does not matter what the file name is. Even the extension does not really matter but sh is standard.

Thank you so much for all your time and help on this - I now suspect tar etc commands also do not exist on Windows - I wanted to investigate it a bit more to try and understand this after this error
Code:

but decided to see if 7zip can extract the tar file and it did so I ended up with folders

Code:

and then even deleted tar files to save space. I gave
Code:
a couple of more tries and received errors like

Code:
and
Code:
but commenting out all the top lines one by one with # eventually leaving only line starting at export command helped to move it along massively and got me to the following point:

Code:


So because of this
Code:
I'm not sure if this step worked basically.

Git step works.

But the one after complains about prizm-gcc:

Code:


Many thanks for looking at this again and hope you can help me to fix it. Please let me know if I need to provide any more info. Kind regards

There will never be a prizm-gcc. You replace instances of prizm- with sh3eb-elf-. So prizm-gcc becomes sh3eb-elf-gcc.

Also you need to install tar before it works.


Code:


Also the reason mkdir fails is because the directory already exists. Change mkdir to mkdir -p to suppress the error.

First of all there are extra lines due to wordwrapping. I think this may be causing issues. Second of all do not just comment out lines without considering the side effects (you most likely commented out more than just directory creation).

I cleaned up the script and resolved the mkdir issues.

Code:


README important: To prevent issues with Cemetech's word wrapping run the following command.


Code:

And then run the script using the sh command. You can paste into the terminal by holding shift and pressing the insert key.

That helped a lot and I think I was able to follow your suggestion well but got the following errors:

Code:
towards the end of the prompts after running the new script.

I tried to include the entire printout of them but the post seems to cut off at some point and even the end of my post was not showing. So I am retyping it for a third time now

I thank you very much for all your help and teaching me all those new things and looking forward to getting this also fixed with your kind help please.
