borland BCC55 CMAKE error

[davecoventry]

I'm trying to run a file called configure.bat which contains the following:

echo off
mkdir Platforms
mkdir Platforms\bb2010wm
FOR /F "tokens=2* " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\CodeGear\BDS\7.0" /v RootDir') DO SET BCB2010_ENV_ROOT=%%B
cd Platforms\bb2010wm

My Borland C++ compiler is in "c:\Borland\BCC55\Bin\bcc32.exe"

I've set CMAKE_C_COMPILER="c:\Borland\BCC55\Bin\bcc32.exe"

But when I run the configure.bat I get the following error message:

C:\Documents and Settings\dave\My Documents\Borland>configure.bat

I sustpect it has something to do with the double forward slashes.

How can I rectify this?

[gusano79]

You have double backward slashes, which will confuse a Windows machine. Change \\ to \ both places it appears.

When troubleshooting batch files like this, you should remove or comment out echo off; then you'll be able to see exactly what commands are being executed.

[davecoventry]

Hi Gusano, thanks very much for taking the time...

I've done as you suggested, but the program still can't seem to find the compiler.

It's strange because the Batch file is actually intended to be run on Windows, so whoever wrote it would have had reason to use the double backslashes. I'm not sure that I'm using the intended compiler, though; I don't have BCPP Builder and am more or less hoping that the BCC55 will suffice.

I'm actually running this on a Virtualbox VM using an XP Guest on a Linux host, but that wouldn't be the cause, would it?

I do have a machine with Windows 7 installed. I'll try running on that and see what happens...

Anyway the output of the configure.bat is as follows:

[davecoventry]

Sorry.

I seem to be really confused.

The configure.bat calls 'cmake.exe' which appears to mangle the path to bcc32.exe.

[davecoventry]

Okay.

This is the output from the 'configure.bat' with the path to the compiler hard-coded in.

It seems as though the BCC55 compiler is not sufficient.

[gusano79]

Hm... Makefile:31: *** missing separator is suspicious; what's in cmTryCompileExec2791379885\fast?
