Compiling failed with "unrecognized command line option '-Wl'" error

Helllo,
I have here a fresh installation of Archlinux and I fall into troubles with compiling a few of applications from AUR.
The problem is this:
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wl’
It happens for example with bubblefishymod package from AUR. I've never seen this error.
Any suggestion, what is wrong, please?
I have 64bit Archlinux installation, intel core i5, base-devel package group is installed.

Seems like a straightforward error message. Read about -Wl in "man gcc" if you want to know more.
In the meantime, removing "-Wl" from the LDFLAGS in the Makefile (I used a sed line in the PKGBUILD) should allow you to compile it successfully. Whether or not it works as expected though, is another matter entirely. Contact the author and get him to fix his Makefile.

Compile using command line

Hi,
I'm using JBuilder, and now I'm trying to compile the project in command line, using javac, or jar.
I want to create JAR file, and it is very complicated and contains many files.
Is there any way to exctract the command from JBuilder? Or from Ant?
Thanks

Yes, you can generate an Ant build xml script using JBuilder. Read the online help on how to do it.

The compile is successful, and we can view the output.
Note that the project is under SVN (Tortoise). It does not
generate the errors when compiled on the machine where it resides.
The errors come when compiling from the other machine.
Can anyone tell me the source of these errors?

Hello Dan,
The phrase "Template Error: can not resolve macro:" tells me
that you are using a template, which means that you are likely
generating printed or PDF output. Is this correct?
Can you generate printed output from this computer manually?
Has Microsoft Word been launched on this computer?
Are the macros setup in MS Word set high? You may consider
lowering it some.
If these steps do not help narrow down the issue some, you
might consider renaming normal.dot. You can look on Microsoft's web
site for details on how to do this:

DrJava compiles,.. command line does not.

All my files are in the directory:
... /alak/codeFiles/
package alak.codeFiles;
import alak.codeFiles.Game.*;
public class AlakApp extends JApplet implements ActionListener
private alak.codeFiles.Game alakGame;
}When I compile this in DrJava it compiles but doesn't work when i jar it up and test it in a browser. When I compile it in the command line on Windows using:
inthecorrectDIR> javac AlakApp.java
I get this error:
AlakApp.java:8: package alak.codeFiles.Game does not exist
import alak.codeFiles.Game.*;

3 errorsCan please someone help me understand why this isn't working?
EDIT: I'd like to mention that all the files are in the correct directory and compile and work (with the exception of AlakApp) under DrJava. But when I try compile one of these files that depends on another, via the command line, it gives me the errors I stated.
Edited by: MDalrymple on Dec 13, 2007 10:57 PM

I am in F:\alak\codeFiles\ when I used the command javac AlakApp.java
I tried:
F:\alak\codeFiles> javac -cp F:\alak\codeFiles\ AlakApp.javaAnd I still get the same errors
EDIT: Problem fixed:
The error was that I need to be compiling all of the files in the alak.codeFiles package at once. So I just used:
F:\alak\codeFiles> javac -cp F:\alak\codeFiles\ *.javaSince all of the java files there were in that directory were the ones that needed to be compiled I just used a wild card.

Command Line Compilation of a Project with different packages

Hi,
I am trying to compile a project through command line, which has different packages with many classes in it. Now If I try to compile package by package It's complaining about other referenced classes of different packages. So I created .bat file, which includes all the packages, but it's complaining input line is too long.
D:\jdk1.3.1\bin>app.bat
My bat file is
javac -d d:\Application\build d:\Application\source\com\ibc\rules\login\*.java d:\Application\source\com\ibc\rules\lookup\*.java .................d:\Application\source\com\ibc\wid\events\*.java d:\Application\source\com\ibc\wid\frames\cust\*.java ...
and so on............
Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance....

I think the prefered and more elegant way to compile project including packages should be writing makefiles including their compilation, installation, deploying - rules ..
Make is really powerful, the maybe only weak-point is that there are some distribution of them, gnu-make, microsoft nmake .. which are slightly different, that made porting among platforms difficult.
The jakarta-ant was a new approach to this which uses xml parser to proof the dependencies, etc ..
Because I'm not familiar yet with xml & ant and as a in-blooded unix user, "make" is still my prefered way to do roject.
The easiest way to get unix environment required for using make in Windows platforms is to download the "unxutils". It includes make, bzip2, diff, ... and other unix-tools. Refer to this (found from search by google) :
http://www.weihenstephan.de/~syring/win32/
http://www.weihenstephan.de/~syring/win32/UnxUtils.zip
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/
For more documentation on how to write makefile, use make -tool, see
http://www.gnu.org/manual/
http://www.gnu.org/manual/make-3.79.1/html_mono/make.html

Passing * as command line argument

I need to take some arguments from cmd in my java program which need to be of this form:
java myprogram 4574 10 *
Everything else works fine but when it comes to the asterisk (*) it is replaced by the file list and the args[] in my program becomes
4574
10
myprogram.class
myprogram.java
123.txt
Now i know that instead of giving * if i give "*" the program would be fine.... but is there any way to pass only * (without quotes) in arguments and get the * character in my args array.

Compiled with the free command-line Borland compiler and run from cmd:
#include <stdio.h>
void main(int argc,char *argv[]) {
int i;
for(i=0;i<argc;i++)
printf("%d [%s]\r\n",i,argv);
C:\temp\efemer34\xx>a *
0 [C:\temp\efemer34\xx\a.exe]

Use ASC2 in command line

Hi guys,
I have one maybe stupid question ? Basically I use intellij idea which doesn't implement yet the new ASC 2 compiler, I usually use it to devellop and test, and then use bash file to package apps for mobile testing (release / iphone simulator etc).
To make all of this working I merge flex sdk with the new air sdk as adviced in adobe website. but it still use the old compiler.
Is there any way to compile an app in command line or with ant using the new ASC2.
Because My IDE for some reason still use old compiler.
Thanks

The command line tools, compc, and mxmlc, are in the “bin” directory of the 3.6 AIR SDK and Compiler download. Ant task support is provided by flexTasks.jar which is in the “ant/lib” directory.

How to run a Servlet Project's .war from Command Line??

Hi there,,
Can anybody help me with how to run a Servlet Project's .war file from command line??In fact I tried it using the following command,
java -jar TestServProj.war
but I get the following error,,,
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute
I can't find the project''s manifest file in the META-INF folder.
Moreover,plz help me about know how to execute a single servlet class from command line...
Thanks in advance...

you cant run a .war file from command prompt
.war files should be executed in a server
how to execute a single servlet class
do you mean to run the servlet or compile the servlet?
any way you need a server and if you are a beginner Apache tocat will be the best server to start with you can down load it from

Command line compiler (rhcl.exe) adds on rogue full pathways into [Merge Files] of .hhp

I'm using RH 9 and generating chm outputs on my Win 7 64-bit computer.
I have a core chm help file and several sub chm helps that get merged into it.
I have a batch file that regularly compiles our help files locally and then copies them into a common local directory. It then copies them up to a mapped network drive where they are picked up by the nightly build of our installer.
The problem I have, is that the command line compiler (rhcl.exe) is adding on a full pathway for all the sub helps listed in the [Merge Files] section of the core help's .hhp file, causing these problems:
1) First of all, the pathways are wrong. The pathway it puts on is from the location of my .xpj file of my core help project. The output directory for the compiler is actually sending all the helps to a different local directory.
2) These need to be relative, and should not have full pathways. The full pathways make it so that when I click on a subhelp TOC entry that subhelp's topic opens up in an entirely different window instead of merged into the core help's window. (See #13 on Peter's helpful site here about the problem with absolute paths: http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh9/using_rh9.htm)
Here' what I want it to look like (the good):
[MERGE FILES]
pcdmisportable.chm
pcdmistutor.chm
pcdmisvision.chm
pcdmislaser.chm
pcdmiscmm.chm
pcdmisUJB.chm

toolkitmodulesvwmp.chm
pcdmisdci.chm
toolkitmodules.chm
pcdmisnc.chm
pcdmisip.chm
toolkitmodulesblade.chm
pcdmisregistry.chm
pcdmisfixturing.chm
Here's what it looked like after the command line compile (the bad and the ugly):

I've done the following ....
I've checked my .xpj file and they have relative paths only.
I've deleted my .cpd file.
I've removed chm references from my rhbag.apj.
... and the hhp file still gets modified with pathways to my core project
directory tacked on:
It's strange; because if I compile without the command line, by opening the project and running the generation inside of RH, I don't get the problem where it re-writes the [Merge Files] section with the pathnames.
Any ideas on where are these rogue full pathways coming from and how I can fix it? Or is it just a bug with the command line version of the compiler that Adobe will need to fix?

I don't use command line generation but to the best of my knowledge, this has not been fixed.

How to compile EJB 3.0 in command line

Dear all,
I want to know how to using command line to compile the EJB 3.0 bean.
I have a set of source written in EJB 3.0, if i put in NetBeans and help me to build a ear, it works.
But when i try to using command mode , it has problem.
The Step to compile:
1) Compile the source, all can compile .javac -d . -classpath %JAVAEE_HOME%\lib\javaee.jar;. ..\src\foo\*.java
2) using the same "META-INF" that compiled by netbeans, include with the compiled class and build an jar file
3) build a ear
How ever when i deploy to glassfish 2.0
It prompts me the descriptor error, cannot deploy to server.
Can anyone tell me which step is missing ?
Thanks
Best Regard,
Ben

As long as you are not more specific about the steps you take to verify that the ears are the same, I cannot offer any more help. All I can say is: your assumption is wrong, because if they were the same, it would work. Simple logic is usually the best.

How to compile forms and reports in linux command line ?

Hi,
I'm working on a migration from forms 6i to 11g R2. The development/migration is being made on a Windows 7 64 bits, however, those forms and reports will run on a Linux RHEL 5. Thus, I have to compile them inside that linux box.
How can I do it? Is there a tool to compile the forms and reports in command line withn a linux box?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the answer, Carlos.
I run the command but this error message is displayed "FRM-91500: Unable to start/complete the build".
