Compiling the C++ API for Twilio. The instructions by Laurent Luce are not very clear and were done two years ago.
HOW exactly do I use libcurl and openssl with make (nmake) to compile the library???? When I try to run nmake on the command line in the twilio++ directory, I get:
makefile(25) : fatal error U1001: syntax error : illegal character '^'
in macro Stop.
If anyone can help or give directions I would be very relieved
If this error is caused by $^. you may try to replace it with $**. But no guarantees. In general, nmake does not work with GNU makefiles. For best results use GNU make.

I'm trying to compile a c++ mex function that I created according to the specifications given by mathworks here (Create a C++ MEX Source File). However, after following the steps of the answer in this thread to link Eclipse 4.4.2 and Matlab R2015a in a linux enviroment (old but the only one I've found about it), I get the following error:
undefined reference to `get_function_ptr' mpi_pevd_mex_f line 79, external location: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2021a\extern\include\MatlabDataArray\detail\ExceptionHelpers.hpp C/C++ Problem
I don't know what else is missing. I've been trying to find a solution, but nothing useful so far.
Thank you for your help.
I have found the problem. Apparently, I needed to add additional libraries to those detailed in most of the posts related to MEX files, i.e. libmex/ libmat/libmx.
Making use of the verbose mode in Matlab (mex -v MexFunction.cpp), I realized that these libraries were missing: libmwlapack, m, libmwblas, libMatlabEngine, libMatlabDataArray. After adding them, the error disappeared.
I use MinGW64+msys on Winodws7 64bit
Now I’m trying to build CMAKE but I can’t.
When I typed ./configure soon an error happened. .

Error when bootstrapping CMake:
Cannot find appropriate C++ compiler on this system.
Please specify one using environment variable CXX.
See cmake_bootstrap.log for compilers attempted.
I also find error messages in Bootstrap.cmk/cmake_bootstrap.log like bellow.

They said cwchar and iostream.h doesn't exist, although I have them and set their path to environmental variable.
The first massage said my C++ compiler isn’t appropriate. I installed it by mingw-get.exe.
Does anyone know, how can I get appropriate C++ compiler?
You mixed two compilers. I recommend: delete your old one and install msys2+mingw64.
I'm following the instructions from INSTALL.W32 (various OpenSSL versions), in general it's:
* Configure for building with Borland Builder:
> perl Configure BC-32
* Create the appropriate makefile
> ms\do_nasm
* Build
> make -f ms\bcb.mak
Now, I do get two kind of errors when trying to build:
For OpenSSL < 1.0.0
nasmw -f obj -d__omf__ -ocrypto\md5\asm\m5_win32.obj .\crypto\md5\asm\m5_win32.asm
'nasmw' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Otherwise

Warning W8017 C:\CBuilder5\Include\sys/stat.h 35: Redefinition of 'S_IFDIR' is not identical

*** 1 errors in Compile ***
Yes, I feel bad for using Borland C++ Builder 5 but I can't do anything about it, and yes, I consider the Shining Light option if everything else fails.
I do not use OpenSSL but from your text some hints:
NASM
is not default assembler for Borland compilers
you need to download and install it first
(it is for free and one of the best compilers I used in the past)
you are missing some #define before including OpenSSL or including in wrong order
that is why you have the first warnings and most likely also the error
some libs need to add configuration #defines (added by some specific IDE's)
to specify what compiler,platform,endianess... is used
before any includes
usually if you include in wrong order then the defines are defined for some instances of a lib file but not for all
so try to reorder the includes
sometimes helps to include before the lib some other thing like conio,stdio,windows,...
to determine which define is missing or wrong open the stat.h
and look for #ifdef #ifndef statements around S_IFMT
The solution for the newest version (1.0.2d) was to:
remove the extra parameter from randfile (which, as comment stated, was unnecessary),
edit ms\bcb.mak, search for -DMD5_ASM -DSHA1_ASM -DRMD160_ASM
and change to -DMD5_NO_ASM -DSHA1_NO_ASM -DRMD160_NO_ASM . (there was an unresolved external error with SHA, MD5 and RMD160, they basically couldn't be compiled in asm).
There were some other steps included as well, but they're just specific to my environment.
I was using flex and bison to build a simple calculator project I cloned from Github.
But after I typed make in terminal, I got the following message:
gcc -o calc calc.tab.c lex.yy.c -lfl
calc.y:48:1: warning: type specifier missing, defaults to 'int' [-Wimplicit-int]
main() {
^~~~
1 warning generated.
ld: library not found for -lfl
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [calc] Error 1
How could I resolve this problem?
let me guess, trying to use flex on OS/X?
Try -ll instead of -lfl
Using Flex on OS/X
So yea, the flex library name on OS/X is just arbitrarily different for some reason. OS/X is not exactly Linux, but it's pretty close. You have some options here.
You can just simply have a separate build system and source files for OS/X. Certainly Apple might like that with their pushing XCode, objective-C and not much interoperability.
You can build vs Linux and then engage with Mac Ports and Homebrew.
You can create your project using autotools. That's not an awesome link, learning this system is rough going, but it's a standard thing for Linux for sure. This will actually work, I find if you have the patience for it, OS/X is close enough that autotools based builds will work on it.
Lately, I've been turned on to Cocoapods, which I believe to be an attempt to join the open source community and XCode. It's kind of half 1 and 3 sorta with an emphasis on modularizing the external source and getting it compiled into a .app (via Xcode).
warning: type specifier missing, defaults to 'int'
mean that you should declare return type for main function. Place int in function difinition.
ld: library not found for -lfl
flag -l mean that compiller must use libfl.a to build programm. As #waTeim said above, for Mac OS you can use libl.a instead, but this lib can be not exist alse. There is another way is to place
%option noyywrap
at the top of flex *.l file. In this case you can compile without additional libs.
I have the following trivial file named Temp.cpp:
#include <string>
int main() { return 0; }
and I'm trying to compile it with the following command-line in the Windows XP Free Build Environment, using WDK 7.1:
cl.exe /Iinc\api\crt\stl70 /Iinc\crt C:\Temp.cpp
and I'm getting really random errors like:
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 15.00.30729.207 for 80x86
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\api\crt\stl70\iosfwd(202) :
error C2144: syntax error : 'int' should be preceded by ';'
The error goes away if I use stl60 instead of stl70, but that doesn't solve the problem.
What's the cause of the problem?
Update: I tried uninstalling and installing the WDK again, but nothing changed. :(
Update 2: Okay, apparently the error is screaming out at the header file itself: _SCL_INSECURE_DEPRECATE is the cause. Does anybody know how to turn it off correctly? (If I just comment out the lines, I get a ton more errors regarding a bunch of other macros.)
Found the answer myself, through modifying the headers and guess'n'checking:
I need to have _STL70_ defined.
Which cl.exe are you picking up? If your path happens to have an older (VC6) compiler before the WDK one, you'd expect these errors. VC6 can't compile the STL as shipped with VC7
apparently the error is screaming out at the header file itself: _SCL_INSECURE_DEPRECATE is the cause. Does anybody know how to turn it off correctly?
If you're having problems with _SCL_INSECURE_DEPRECATE, try setting:
/D_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
But given the error message you're seeing it sounds like you're the compiling headers with a a compiler that's older than the headers support (so this might not get you very far anyway).
