eclipse cdt: calling make file from command line and adding version number - c++

two simple questions:
how do i call eclipse cdt generated make file with all the environment variable ? for example, my make file is generated at location PROJECT_FOLDER_ROOT/Debug/makefile , and if i try to call it:
khan#khan-P55A-UD3P:~/git/gcc/libGCC/Debug$ make -k -j5 all
Building file: ../src/utility/Versioning.cpp
Invoking: Cross G++ Compiler
mipsel-openwrt-linux-g++ -I/home/khan/carambola.pristine/staging_dir/target-mipsel_r2_uClibc-0.9.33.2/usr/include -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -MMD -MP -MF"src/utility/Versioning.d" -MT"src/utility/Versioning.d" -o "src/utility/Versioning.o" "../src/utility/Versioning.cpp"
/bin/sh: 1: mipsel-openwrt-linux-g++: not found
make: * [src/utility/Versioning.o] Error 127
make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
it is looking for mipsel-openwrt-linux-g++ , which is an environment variable for the eclipse build system . how to include it in the command line usage?
second question:
is there any way to automatically increment build number in CDT ? google search was not helpful in this regard.

right after asking here, it managed to figure out the eclipse makefile issue:
i wrote this script to do it. hope it helps someone:
#!/bin/bash
CURRENT_PATH=$PWD
DEBUG_FOLDER_PATH=$CURRENT_PATH/Debug
TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/home/khan/carambola.pristine/staging_dir/toolchain-mipsel_r2_gcc-4.7-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin
cd $DEBUG_FOLDER_PATH
export CWD=$DEBUG_FOLDER_PATH
export PWD=$DEBUG_FOLDER_PATH
export PATH=$TOOLCHAIN_PATH:$PATH
echo $CWD
echo $PWD
echo $PATH
make -k -j5 $1 $2 $3 $4
however, i am still looking for a way to increment build number somehow. any help would be appreciated.
thnkyou

sclite (SCTK) install, file not recognized, file format not recognized, Cygwin

I am currently trying to install NIST's sclite, which is part of SCTK 2.4.0 (github or current version). I am attempting the install on Cygwin in bash. The installation is done using make.
What I've Done
I made a directory for the install and navigated to that directory
mkdir sctk2.4.0
cd sctk2.4.0
( You'll possibly need $ cd /path/to/dir/sctk2.4.0 .)
I cloned the project from github
git clone https://github.com/chinshr/sctk.git
navigated into the base folder
cd sctk
then I started following the instructions in the INSTALL file.
Running
make config
worked fine, but after typing
make all
I got the output that follows
(mkdir -p bin)
(cd src; make all)
make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/c/David/programs/sctk2.4.0/sctk/src'

I've looked at this SO post, but I've determined that the alignment.o file is not corrupted. Just in case, I tried a few make clean and even re-cloned the project from github, but I still get the same error.
Can anyone help me complete this installation, or at least get to the next step?

Note
I'm asking about this problem and then giving an answer to my own question. (I like that StackOverflow is allowing us to do that.) Hopefully, this will make it easier for people to help me with the problems I ran into further in the installation.
The next problem I ran into is discussed here. You can see this next problem in the answer to this problem.
This is the 'EASIER' solution.
Here are the details on what I called "the kaldi solution". Right now, it's just a list of commands without details. As shown here, these commands will install a sclite-2.4.10 directory under the $HOME (~) directory:
$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi.git
$ cd kaldi/tools
$ extras/check_dependencies.sh
$ make -j $(nproc --all)
$ cp -R sctk-2.4.10 ~/
$ cd
$ rm -rf kaldi
$ cd sctk-2.4.10/
$ cp $HOME/.bashrc "${HOME}/.bashrc.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).bak"
$ echo -e "\n\n## Allow access to sclite, rfilter, etc" >> $HOME/.bashrc
$ echo 'export PATH='"$(pwd)/bin"':$PATH' >> $HOME/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
See this question/answer for details on how to use it on Windows.
(See my comment under the question for the kaldi solution.)
The solution to this problem was in the README, as solutions often are. Note: There was another problem which came up after this problem was solved. See the bottom of this answer for help with that.
Here is the command I used to get the pertinent info from the README.
cat README | tail -13
and here is the pertinent info
64 bits Compilation
With big alignments, sctk needs to be compiled in 64 bits.
By default, the C/C++ software are compiled in 32 bits with the options (-Os)
but can be compiled in 64 bits, -m64 is added to the CFLAGS variable in:
src/asclite/core/makefile
src/asclite/test/makefile
src/rfilter1/makefile
src/sclite/makefile
Example of CFLAGS:
For OSX 10.4+: -fast -m64 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc64
So, I went to the makefiles listed (except rfilter1, see below) and changed the code there, replacing each -Os with -m64. Do this ONLY for the makefiles that are listed. I'll give an example for one of the listed files, but note you will have to do it for the others.
cd sctk
vim src/asclite/core/makefile
When the file was open, I found the line:
CFLAGS = -g -Os
which I changed to
CFLAGS = -g -m64
(pressed "i" to get into INSERT mode, made the change, pressed "Esc", then pressed ":wq" (Write and Quit) followed by "Enter")
I made the changes in all the listed files EXCEPT src/rfilter1/makefile, because that file had no -Os in it. This ended up being important, as the install wouldn't work if I had changed this file at all.
After this was completed, I ran make clean, but I DID NOT run make config, because this would have undone the changes we just make. I went directly to:
make all
This gets us past where we were before.
This problem was taken care of, but there was another problem:
In file included from main.cpp:20:0:
recording.h:122:36: error: template argument 2 is invalid
map<string, Filter::Filter*> filters;
^
recording.h:122:36: error: template argument 4 is invalid
which I asked about here.
AN EVEN EASIER SOLUTION - Taking advantage of a new, edited version of sclite
This is in case someone finds the answer here useful. I know there are no votes here, but I just got a trophy telling me this is my first question to get 1000 views, so I'll update my answer to show the easiest way to get things done.

Details
Since when I posted this in May 2018, there have finally been some updates made to the software:
I posted my question in May 2018, and the updates were made in Fall 2018. They partly fix the problems I ran into here, but some of the information in the README and some makefiles are useful to note here.
The 32- to 64- bit issue (changing -Os to -m64, as done above) was find-able via the README.
% cat -n README.md | grep -A 4 "64 bits Compilation"
61 **64 bits Compilation**:
62 With big alignments, sctk needs to be compiled in 64 bits. By default, the C/C++ software are compiled in 32 bits with the options (`-Os`) but can be compiled in 64 bits. To do so, `-m64` is added to the CFLAGS variable in `src/asclite/core/makefile`, `src/asclite/test/makefile`, `src/rfilter1/makefile` and `src/sclite/makefile`.

Since there was no -Os in src/rfilter1/makefile, I didn't make any changes.
I was able to finish the installation with no problem (including no failed tests). Here is my system info.

However, it seems that some other people trying to compile on Cygwin have had issues. Here is some more info from the README
% grep "Special Note to Cygwin users" README.md
*Special Note to Cygwin users:* it has been reported that compilation of `rfilter1` can fail in some case, please read the OPTIONS part of the `rfilter1/makefile` and adapt accordingly before retrying compilation.
Well, let's look at the makefile for rfilter1, and see what some of you might need to do.
% head -n 15 src/rfilter1/makefile | tail -7
########################### Options for compilation #########################
####### If you have an very new version of GCC, the strcmp* family of functions
####### is included in the distribution. Changing the value of OPTIONS to
####### be blank will diable the use of supplied versions of these functions.
####### In particular, this behavior has been noted on some versions of cygwin
OPTIONS=-DNEED_STRCMP=1 $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS)
So, if you have rfilter1 compilation problems, change the non-commented line to
OPTIONS= $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS)

How to create alpha_encoder.exe (webm-tools) under msys2?

I'm trying to compile alpha_encoder) (little utility of The WebM Project, under webm-tools).
I have a previous installation of msys2 (downloaded and configured by build_locally_with_various_option_prompts.bat) under c:\FFcompiler. It took its time, but I managed to compile ffmpeg, so I decided to use it (I think it will do). That's what I've done till now.
First, I cloned webm-tools under /cygdrive/c/FFcompiler/ffmpeg_local_builds/sandbox/win32/libvpx-1.4.0/third_party/. There's a Makefile so I tried to run make:
$ cd /cygdrive/c/FFcompiler/ffmpeg_local_builds/sandbox/win32/libvpx-1.4.0/third_party/
$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/webm-tools.git
$ cd webm-tools/alpha_encoder/
$ make
But g++ complains mkvparser.hpp doesn't exist. The command is
g++ -c -W -Wall -O3 -g -I../../libwebm alpha_encoder.cc -o alpha_encoder.o
After searching the web, it seems that webm-tools depends on libwebm, and expect finding it as a sibling folder of webm-tools. So...
$ cd ../..
$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libwebm.git
$ cd libwebm
Now, what? README.libwebm tells that 'to cross compile libwebm for Windows using mingw-w64' first I must run cmake like this cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=path/to/libwebm/build/mingw-w64_toolchain.cmake path/to/libwebm. In my case:
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=build/mingw-w64_toolchain.cmake .
And cmake cannot find i686-w64-mingw32-g++. After googling more, it seems the easiest way to fix this is to add bin of mingw-w64-i686 to PATH.
$ export PATH=/cygdrive/c/FFcompiler/ffmpeg_local_builds/sandbox/cross_compilers/mingw-w64-i686/bin:$PATH
After this, now cmake finishes successfully and creates a Makefile, but make stops with an error:
/cygdrive/c/FFcompiler/ffmpeg_local_builds/sandbox/win32/libvpx-1.4.0/third_part
y/libwebm/common/file_util.cc:44:39: error: 'tmpnam_s' was not declared in this
scope
errno_t err = tmpnam_s(tmp_file_name);
^
I've searched about the error but I'm stuck. What am I missing?

Error in mkoctfile

I am trying compile he following in octave4.0 in Linux 14.04 :
mex CFLAGS="\$CFLAGS -std=c99" -largeArrayDims read_data.cpp
mex CFLAGS="\$CFLAGS -std=c99" -largeArrayDims write_data.cpp
The following error crops up :
****mkoctfile: unrecognized argument CFLAGS=-std=c99**
**warning: mkoctfile exited with failure status****
Anyone knows what this means and how to fix this?
You should run a setenv('CFLAGS','-std=c99 -whatever -else') command (inside octave) like, for instance:
setenv('CFLAGS','-std=c99');
mkoctfile --mex file.c
But perhaps you want to add the CFLAGS you already have. Well, I know no elegant way to do this, so I would do it manually with a
mkoctfile -p CFLAGS
And copy-paste the result together with your '-std-c99' option, or set it up in the shell before entering octave with a
~$ CFLAGS=$CFLAGS:"-std-c99" octave

Setting up g++ compiler and linker options

I just recently switched back to Linux from windows and VC, but I never done any special coding using g++ compiler.
Currently my libraries (boost and others) are scattered all over the hard drive and I need to learn how to setup my compiler and linker so that all the compiler settings..
(includes, libs, flags) etc.. will be held in one single file or place, so that it becomes easy to manage, because I don't want to type these things every time I launch the compiler on command line.
Also note that I'm using a vim as my code editor and do not want to use IDE.
What is the best way to achieve that goal?
You need to use some of Building tools. It's allow you type small command (in vim you need just type :make) which launch build process with predetermined parameters (includes, libs, etc).
For C++ in Linux the most common tools are:
- make;
- automake;
- CMake.
If you use Qt also qmake is available.
I've had experience with all of them and my suggestion is use plain make for small projects and CMake for others and don't use autotools while you don't have to do it.
Note: All hight-level tools just help generate appropriate files (Makefile) for plain make (CMake generate Makefile based on CMakeLists.txt, automake based on Makefile.am, qmake based on *.pro).
because I don't want to type these things every time I launch the
compiler on command line.
I don't like to type either. All I want to do for small builds is issue:
(1) a short alias (2) the name of the file to compile, and (3) an output file.
Then I want my tool to take care of all common options, and if necessary, include the paths to any extra -I include directories, -L library directories and form the command line for me.
I have a short script that can handle the drudgery. Separating your projects into separate directories and including a 'bldflags' file with specific options allows the scripts to load any project specific options you may require. It is flexible enough to take any additional options specified on the command line. Alias the script in your .bashrc, and all that is required for quick builds is:
g+ filename.cpp outname
Now this is a very basic script and is not intented to replace proper build tools for your projects, but for quick compilations, it, or something like it, will sure cut down on the typing required. Here is the short script:
#!/bin/bash
## validate input
test -n "$1" && test -n "$2"|| { echo "insufficient input. usage: ${0//*\//} source.cpp out [options]"; exit 1; }
## set standard build flags and test if exists/source ./bldflags
stdclfags="-Wall" # add any standard flags you use.
test -r ./bldflags && bldflags="`<./bldflags`"
## show build command and call g++
echo -e "building $1 with:\n g++ $stdclfags -o $2 $1 $bldflags ${#:3}"
g++ $stdclfags -o "$2" "$1" $bldflags ${#:3}
exit 0
Make the script executable and include a simple alias in your .bashrc giving it any name you like:
alias g+='/home/david/scr/utl/bgc++.sh'
Examples of basic use: (basic without additional flags or a ./bldflags file)
$ g+ input.cpp output
building input.cpp with:
g++ -Wall -o output input.cpp
With a few extra options added on the command line:
$ g+ input.cpp output -Wunused -fno-default-inline
building input.cpp with:
g++ -Wall -o output input.cpp -Wunused -fno-default-inline
Including project specific options in ./bldflags (e.g: -I/home/david/inc -L/home/david/lib -Wl,-rpath=/home/david/lib
g+ input.cpp output -Wunused -fno-default-inline
building input.cpp with:
g++ -Wall -o output input.cpp -I/home/david/inc -L/home/david/lib -Wl,-rpath=/home/david/lib -Wunused -fno-default-inline
So to address the I don't want to type these things every time I launch the
compiler on command line, this is a very quick and easy way I've found to cut the typing down to a minimum for quick/repetitive builds where a full Makefile isn't needed.

Compile cyanoboot: No rule to make target

I'm trying to compile the cyanoboot project found here. I have no experience with c++ compiling but I've followed the read-me and seem to have hit a brick wall. I've extracted the downloaded source files and navigated to them in cygwin, I then run the command:
make clean
which looks like it is successful. After that I run
make omap4430sdp_config
which also seems to work but doesn't create any files(not sure if it should?). Then, when I run the final make command I get the error:
makefile:98: /cygdrive/c/cyanoboot/config.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/cygdrive/c/cyanoboot/config.mk'. Stop.
This config.mk file definitely does exist, you can see it at the git hub link above and I haven't changed any files. I've been struggling with this for a few hours now and I just cant figure it out. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
This package is new to me. But, there are multiple processors supported, for example i386/m68k/arm. Therefore you will likely need environment set up properly, for example ARCH=arm and CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
To check if make config worked, you can look for modified or new files. Doing it myself, here you see a link has been added:
