Linux & compiling code

[deletedAcc.0021]

I've been trying to compile on a windows system for 3 or 4 days now and just can't seem to get the settings right.  I'm pretty sure its a path thing, but I've tried every conceivable combination and just can't get it to work.

Just wondering if I partition the drive and install a Linux OS if I'd have better luck.

Rather than repartition your hard drive you can run linux in a VM. There is even a set up vmware floating around here somewhere.

Have you posted any of the errors and settings?  I installed it on windows 32 bit with PELs instructions.  I only had problems putting the right path on Makefile.user.

here's the error I'm getting:

C:\MLnew\magic-lantern>make 600d
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, date +%Y-%m-%d, ...) failed.
/usr/bin/sh: date: command not found
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, pwd, ...) failed.
make -C /platform/600D.102
make: *** /platform/600D.102: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [600d] Error 2

I've tried every conceivable path in makefile.user, it just doesn't seem to be finding the directory.

tried:
C:/ path
c:/ path
/path
~path
../path
../../path
../../../path


ps .. I've looked at nanomad's VM, but not sure how to go about setting it up.

ok, this looks different than what if have used.  In my case I used PELs instructions here:
http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=2899.msg14021#msg14021

This requires that you install:
1. cygwin
2. yagarto
3. mercurial
4. Clone the magic lantern into your computer
5. Setup your Makefile.user

So when I see: C:\MLnew\magic-lantern>make 600d

It seems that you are not working inside cygwin which would be the first program to get working.

Let me know if my assumptions are wrong.

[deletedAcc.0021]

I used cygwin following pelican's instructions with no luck.

Then tried TortoiseHG, which is where the error I posted came from.

http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/


btw:  I sucessfully installed all the programs in Pelican's tutorial, and cloned ML.  Followed your setup for the Makefile.user ... no luck

[RenatoPhoto]

I only use cygwin and do not know tortoisehg
If you want I can help with the cygwin installation..
Lets check the installation path.
Post the full path to

cygwin  in my case is C:\cygwin
magic-lantern folder is C:\cygwin\home\PH\magic-lantern
path to compiler is C:\cygwin\home\PH\arm-toolchain473  (or 472 or 462)

hg update after hg clone.... otherwise it won't download things like the platform folder, etc.

[deletedAcc.0021]

@ 1% ... did that.  Even double checked the files to make sure the directory structure was intact.

I'm going to give it another try on a 32 bit OS, and see if that makes a difference.

[deletedAcc.0021]

@ RenatoPhoto

I'll give it a shot.

Ok, after three days, I finally got it to compile.  It was a path issue in Makefile.user.

Here is the output:  (created the autoexec.bin file @ 449KB)  does everything look right?

Hurray!  Looks like it compiled.  I suppose the only way to know if to put in the card and try it!

Yep, 1% looked it over and gave me the thumbs up!

Running it now ... works great.
