Hi Andrew,

 

I get that error in our builds too, but just for simmTest and nowhere else in the log. I can remove it by adjusting the path for MSI in the build rule with either

 

$(abspath $(MSI3_15)) -D $(DBFLAGS) -o $(COMMONDEP_TARGET) -S$< $(TEMPLATE_FILENAME) > $@

 

Or

 

$(subst /,\,$(MSI3_15)) -D $(DBFLAGS) -o $(COMMONDEP_TARGET) -S$< $(TEMPLATE_FILENAME) > $@

 

For some reason it doesn’t like ../..  at that time and errors at the first .. but giving it a ..\.. path instead works ok

 

Regards,

 

Freddie

Subject: Windows builds — can anyone explain this?

 

Here are 2 excerpts from the most recent APS Jenkins build log of the 7.0 tree on windows-x64 when it’s running msi.exe. Can anyone with Windows experience explain why the second call to msi succeeds without giving the same error as the first one? The first call happens while GNUmake is recreating its makefiles (which is what .d files really are) so the failure there isn’t supposed to stop the build. Do you see the same failure on your builds?

 

../../../../../../bin/windows-x64/msi.exe -D    -I. -I.. -I../O.Common -I../../../../../../db -o ../O.Common/simmTest.db -S../simmTest.substitutions  > simmTest.db.d
'..' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

 

"Inflating database from ../simmTest.substitutions "
../../../../../../bin/windows-x64/msi.exe    -I. -I.. -I../O.Common -I../../../../../../db -o simmTest.db -S../simmTest.substitutions 
 
The error “'..' is not recognized as an internal or external command” happens when we use forward-slashes in a Windows command path, which we do above so I know that needs fixing, but why doesn’t it fail the second time we call msi.exe?
 

The build rules for the first command are:

 

%.db$(DEP): ../%$(SUBST_SUFFIX)

@$(RM) $@

$(MSI3_15) -D $(DBFLAGS) -o $(COMMONDEP_TARGET) -S$< $(TEMPLATE_FILENAME) > $@

 

and for the second:

 

$(COMMON_DIR)/%.db: ../%$(SUBST_SUFFIX)

$(ECHO) "Inflating database from $< $(TEMPLATE_FILENAME)"

@$(RM) $(notdir $@)

$(MSI3_15) $(DBFLAGS) -o $(notdir $@) -S$< $(TEMPLATE_FILENAME)

@$(MV) $(notdir $@) $@

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

- Andrew
