Compiler error in language.c

[gbl08ma]

Since yesterday that I can't compile Rockbox from SVN using my Ubuntu development environment set up as described in the wiki.
I do a "svn update", then I change to the build directory and run the following commands by this order:
../tools/configure
(then select target 28 - ipodnano2 - and Normal build)
make clean
make

"make" is where it goes wrong. What I get on the console is on an attached file (with Linux temrinations!).

Any suggestions to fix this? I already compiler Rockbox from source other times, but now it's just not working. I'd really like to compile Rockbox from source, because I like the iPod piezo patch I have applied (is the patch the problem?).

Thanks
Gabriel

PS: as obvious, I didn't modify language.c, that's why this error is so strange for me...

Try cleaning the build directory completely before re-running configure.

[gbl08ma]

I completely deleted all the contents of the /rockbox/build directory, did ../tools/configure, make, and it still returns the same error.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks for your help so far.

EDIT: did you notice the "Please use at least one of -p, -u, -o, -b and -s" line after each GENLANG on the console dump? That line didn't show before, when I managed to compile Rockbox.

Just as reference, you can see here: http://build.rockbox.org/dev.cgi whether Rockbox currently builds or not.  This lets you check if the error is in SVN or at your end.

[gbl08ma]

Yes, and I usually check that. And that page says it builds.

EDIT: I just updated my SVN trunk copy, deleted all files in the build directory, did "../tools/configure", then "make clean" (just in case) and then "make". It still returns exactly the same error.
I think the problem has to do with that line I get after each GENLANG:

GENLANG apps/lang/anylangfile.lang
Please use at least one of -p, -u, -o, -b and -s

I am getting a an error compiling a simulator build.  At the same spot, but a different error (an undefined error).

If somebody knows how to either save a print screen, or do a cut and paste from VMWare, I could share the error that I am getting.

[funman]

If you run with

Code: [Select]

make V=1

the log should be more verbose

I figured out how to cut and paste.

The error I am getting is...

Just to make sure, I deleted my rockbox source directory and re-downloaded the source (using " svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox").  I still get the same error.  I was able to compile a few weeks ago.

[gbl08ma]

I compiled using "make V=1" to have more output, the console log is attached (including everything since the moment I did "svn update" through all the configuration process, and then make)

Perhaps this issue only applies to ipodnano2...?

Thanks for all the help so far
It's really boring to have a copy of the source of a so powerful application, and not be able to compile it...

I'd guess your shell is failing to expand the cat command, try pasting

Code: [Select]

`cat /home/gabriel/rockbox/build/apps/genlang-features`

into a terminal (including apostrophes).

[ew]

I don't mean to hijack this thread, I realize that the suggestion made by nls was intended for gbl08ma, but I tried a similar command which I thought may work in my configuration.

The following is my result:

user@debian:~/rockbox/build-sim$ 'cat ~f/rockbox/build-sim genlang-features'
-bash: cat ~f/rockbox/build-sim genlang-features: No such file or directory
user@debian:~/rockbox/build-sim$

Then I though I may not be specifying the correct sub-directory so I tried this:

user@debian:~/rockbox/build-sim$ 'cat ~f/rockbox/build-sim/apps genlang-features'
-bash: cat ~f/rockbox/build-sim/apps genlang-features: No such file or directory
user@debian:~/rockbox/build-sim$

(I realize I may still not have the proper syntaxt)

For what it is worth, I am using VMWare using a debian environment and trying to compile a simulator build for a Sansa e200 (v1).

Thanks,

I did... here's the output:

I start to think that this is a problem of my development environment...

[bluebrother]

user@debian:~/rockbox/build-sim$ 'cat ~f/rockbox/build-sim genlang-features'
-bash: cat ~f/rockbox/build-sim genlang-features: No such file or directory

This cannot work. You need to use backticks, not apostrophes. There is a vital difference between those on the shell.

gabriel@GabrielUbuntuDesk:~/rockbox/build$ `cat /home/gabriel/rockbox/build/apps/genlang-features`
bash: accessory_supply:backlight_brightness:crossfade:dircache:flash_storage:headphone_detection:hold_button:hotkey:lcd_bitmap:lcd_non-mono:lcd_color:morse_input:pitchscreen:quickscreen:rtc:swcodec:tagcache:tc_ramcache:charging:usb_charging_enable:wheel_acceleration:large_plugin_buffer:albumart:scrollwheel:usb_power:usbstack:<<<<<<<: command not found

No, that result is actually correct. The used syntax means: execute the part in the backticks, then substitute it with its result and pass that back (in this case to the command line, in a script it would usually be assigning it to a variable).

Copy the last line:

Paste it in the shell, and just add

Code: [Select]

echo 

in front of it (at the beginning), then press enter and give the output
