[odb-users] compiling odb library

[Phillip Shelton]

Hi,
Thank you for your continued help.

Following the instructions in your last reply:
I created a new empty directory

>C:\compilers>cd hello

It failed with the same error.  So I then ran the check commands.
First it is the version information.

Then it was print-multiarch, which returned only a newline. (file paths on windows need to contain at least one non-white space character.) 
>C:\compilers\hello>g++ -print-multiarch

Then it was dumpmachine, and this returned the 'Target' from the version data.
>C:\compilers\hello>g++ -dumpmachine
>x86_64-w64-mingw32

Then I created a test file with an empty comment as its only contents. And tried to compile it as a c++ file, while asking the compiler to only run the pre-processor and write the processed output to the terminal. (I think that is what that set of parameters means)

Should I run the same set of commands using the build2 gcc compiler?

This should work.

Hm, I wonder if it's something in the output of your MinGW GCC that trips build2 up. Can you try this in some temporary directory:


> bdep new -t exe hello
> b hello\ config.cxx=g++.exe


If you get the same error, can you send the output of the following command (they are executed by build2 underneath to query various compiler properties):

> g++ -v
> g++ -print-multiarch
> g++ -dumpmachine
> echo // >dummy
> g++ -x c++ -E - <dummy
