problem with building pasm_toggle

Reinhard

If I try to make the pasm_toggle demo, get this error message:

Reinhard,

Starting from the v0_1_9 distribution, a batch file is provided to start a new window.

Please double-click on PropGCC.bat or run it from the command line.
That will give you a new window where you can do work.
The window will already have the path set for you.

I see README_WINDOWS.txt says something different. Sorry about that. Will fix.

Just a question from the error message: Is the "28.11.2011" format cast in stone? The reason I ask is that it's ambiguous, internationally, when the day number is less than 13. A better format would be "2011.11.28", since it doesn't rely on national month/day vs. day/month convention when those numbers precede the year, and the digits are in order from most-significant to least-significant.

Hmm. I misunderstood. Looks like make can't find the echo command.
I thought echo was part of the windows command shell.
I don't see a really good reason to use echo though.

What happens if you comment out $(ECHO) $@ in the Makefile?


@Phil, the dates appear to be from Windows.

The format probably depends on regional settings, then. That works, too.

Hi,

comment out the echo statements - and now the make is successfull

[B]C:\propgcc\demos\toggle\pasm_toggle>echo
ECHO ist eingeschaltet (ON).[/B]

C:\propgcc\demos\toggle\pasm_toggle>

But the echo cmd works too.

However, thanks for the tip;

best regards

Hi,

Seems to be a very special problem on my pc.


On another machine I have not a problem, also with uncomment echo.


This thread can closed.

best regards,
