QNX Momentics 6.3 C/C++ Tutorial problem

Hello, I am attempting to learn the Momentics IDE by using the tutorial.
When I attempt to build the simple “Hello World” project, I receive the
following error:

make -k all

makefile:4: *** missing separator. Stop.

Where my makefile is that given in the tutorial (altered slightly for C
project):

all: test1.exe

clean:

rm main.o test1.exe

hello.exe: main.o

g++ -g -o test1.exe main.o

main.o:

g++ -c -g main.c



Can anyone suggest something for me to try to get this working? I’m running
the IDE on Windows XP.

Thanks,

Don

Almost definitely you used spaces instead of tabs.

Where my makefile is that given in the tutorial (altered slightly for C
project):

all: test1.exe

clean:

rm main.o test1.exe

These must be:

clean:
rm main.o test1.exe

And similarly for all the other commands that follow a target.

hello.exe: main.o

g++ -g -o test1.exe main.o

main.o:

g++ -c -g main.c

Thanks, David. I did have spaces instead of tabs. However, now the error
returned from a build is:

make -k all

process_begin: CreateProcess((null), g++ -c -g main.c, …) failed.

make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

make: *** [main.o] Error 2

make: Target `all’ not remade because of errors.

g++ -c -g main.c

I double-checked, and the file main.c is both in the project and in the
appropriate directory. Any suggestions?

Try adding this to the beginning of the Makefile:

CC:=qcc
CXX:=qcc

although it shouldn’t be necessary…

Don’t try to use g++.

For C compilation, use qcc.

For C++ compilation, use QCC.

It will actually invoke the correct underlying GCC tools.

You’ve discovered one of the classic stupidities of UNIX.
In makefiles, “tab” is different from other whitespace.
Read up on “make”.

Hello.

I cannot build the HellowWorld project of the tutorial, either :frowning: A
tutorial is usually very easy… but, it looks impossible :frowning:

After changing the g++ for qcc as you recommend and rebuilding all, a
lot of errors appear:

undefined reference to
std::_Winit::_Winit(void)'[C:/QNX630/target/qnx6/usr/include/cpp/iostream] undefined reference to std::_Winit::~_Winit(void)’[C:/QNX630/target/qnx6/usr/include/cpp/iostream]

undefined reference to
`std::terminate(void)’[C:/QNX630/target/qnx6/usr/include/ctype.h]

:frowning: :frowning: I’m desperated… What’s wrong?

If I rewrite it in C, with the stdio.h and printf, it builds a hello
ELF file, but not a hello.exe as it must be, because PE Windows
parser is chosen :frowning:

Any help?

Thanks!
