Errors when compiling in the Raspberry

AS

Hi!

I was making a compilation in Raspberry, without I had done nothing, now it gives me this errors:

/home/pi/eFLL/examples/Fuzzy_Exp/Fuzzy_Exp.cpp:1:1: error: stray '\357' in program
/home/pi/eFLL/examples/Fuzzy_Exp/Fuzzy_Exp.cpp:1:1: error: stray '\273' in program
/home/pi/eFLL/examples/Fuzzy_Exp/Fuzzy_Exp.cpp:1:1: error: stray '\277' in program

/home/pi/eFLL/examples/Fuzzy_Exp/Fuzzy_Exp.cpp:1:1: error: stray '#' in program
...
...

I already try install again to the last version of PropGCC:

cd /opt
sudo bash
wget http://david.zemon.name:8111/repository/download/PropGCC5_Gcc4rpi/.lastSuccessful/propellergcc-alpha_v1_9_0-gcc4-rpi.tar.gz?guest=1 -O propellergcc-alpha_v1_9_0-gcc4-rpi.tar.gz
mv parallax parallax.simpleide
tar -xf propellergcc-alpha_v1_9_0-gcc4-rpi.tar.gz
mv parallax parallax.gcc4
ln -s parallax.gcc4 parallax

Any advice to the best procedure to resolve this issue?

Thanks

In my Googling of those errors, it looks like there are characters in the file which the compiler does not recognize. Some common hits i found were using fancy quotes and the copyright symbol.

Electrodude

Sounds like a character encoding problem. "\357\273\277" interpreted as UTF-8 is $FEFF, which is a Byte Order Mark. Tell your text editor not to insert a Byte Order Mark.

AS

Thanks for the sugestions!

very strange... it was everything ok and with "no reason" it start doing this....
is something with the compiler!! but I never change important files when I don´t know what I´m doing!

I think I go format the SD is more easy :P

DavidZemon

What programs did you use to view the file?

AS

the simple txt "Text editor"

Electrodude

That's just a generic name. What does your text editor say if you go to Help -> About?

What distro are you using? Raspbian or what?

(Who came up with freedesktop's confusing and useless generic names?!?)

You have been hit by the dreaded Unicode curse.

Like the tower of Babel, unicode will be the downfall of our civilization.

Anyway, you should not have to be making a new SD card. Just get your text editor to save the file in the right text encoding.

AS

the text editor is Leafpad 0.8.18.1 in OS Raspbian.
Thanks for the sugestions.

Solved:

I open with SimpleIDE, delete the first characters with "nothing"
it´s working

DavidZemon

Excellent! Glad to hear it. Let us know if you run into this problem again. It'd be great to document here a good text editor for the Pi that doesn't give you or anyone else these kinds of headaches.

AS

The SimpleIDE resolve the question, at this moment is my choice :P
I already try the Code:Blocks, I like it but I think there are some issue with the Raspberry, or was I that don´t understand something.

For the Raspberry what is your opinion?

Thanks!

Heater.

vim.

AS

Thanks!

And this work well with CMake?

Heater.

I have never used cmake in my life, not even sure why we might need it, but as vim is just a text editor I'm sure it works very well with cmake.

AS

thanks! I will test VIM for sure. :thumb:

DavidZemon

Ha! Vim is great to know because it's available everywhere and it's powerful. Emacs would be its main competitor - there have been many a holy war fought over which is better. I use an IDE (like code::blocks) but it is neither free nor compatible with the Pi: JetBrains CLion. But is built to work with CMake. and it is greeeaaaaat
