Pomake incompatibility

[italofutura]

Hi I try to run this makefile.

Isend here in order to not spam the bug reports (in case I misuse pomake)

Jom 1.1.4 Windows 11 x64

and

Nmake ("c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.44.35207\bin\Hostx64\x64\nmake.exe")

work fine.

Pomake runs the first two dependency lines and crashes with Access Violation.

Missing CR/LF from last line.

Since version 11 something is wrong with it.
pomake v.10 works with a your example.

My problem is with PellesC 13.00

Hi italofutura,

Are you sure you are using version 13?  It seems you are using a very old version.
Even look at copyright you provided 2004 - new version copyright 13.0.0 is 2025 -

Perhaps version 13 was not fully installed for some reason.

Below are screen shots of pomake.exe details in Pelles C v13.

ALSO notice that the example provided by TimoVJL shows pomake version 13.0.0
I believe the '10' he mentions is the WINDOWS version -

results on Windows 11 - testing pomake v10-v13

You are right, HLA was in the path.

Given the opportunity, do you know how the "fileparts", the microsoft way %|p,d,e,fF is supposed to work?

The PellesC extension e.g. $(@D) works flawlessly.

[TimoVJL]

From help file

Syntax Description
%s    The complete filename.
%|{parts}F    The {parts} specification can be zero or more of the following letters:
  d Drive
  p Path
  f Base name
  e Extension
%% A literal %.

 

For example, the the full filename is specified by %|F or by %|dpfeF, as well as by %s.
