| Summary | 0000261: building mdbcomp in C# grade attempts to link with non-existant mer_rt.dll | ||||||||
| Description | Attempting to build the compiler in the csharp grade leads to the following error Making mer_mdbcomp.dll ** Error making `mer_mdbcomp.dll'. error CS0006: Metadata file `mer_rt.dll' could not be found Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings make[1]: *** [libmer_mdbcomp] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/MISCRITITCOM/petdr/merc/workspaces/1107.csharp/mdbcomp' make: *** [mdbcomp] Error 2 this is because we are calling the following command % Invoking system command `dmcs -nowarn:162,219 -define:MR_HIGHLEVEL_DATA -target:library -out:mer_mdbcomp.dll -lib:../boehm_gc -lib:../runtime -lib:../library -lib:../trace -lib:../mdbcomp -lib:../browser -r:mer_std.dll -r:mer_rt.dll Mercury/css/mdbcomp.cs Mercury/css/mer_mdbcomp.cs Mercury/css/mdbcomp.feedback.cs Mercury/css/mdbcomp.goal_path.cs Mercury/css/mdbcomp.prim_data.cs Mercury/css/mdbcomp.program_representation.cs Mercury/css/mdbcomp.rtti_access.cs Mercury/css/mdbcomp.slice_and_dice.cs Mercury/css/mdbcomp.trace_counts.cs Mercury/css/mdbcomp.feedback.automatic_parallelism.cs'... juliensf tells me that it goes wrong at around line 223 of Mmake.workspace My quick solution is to create a dummy mer_rt.dll in the runtime directory, as a workaround. | ||||||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Add GRADE=csharp to Mmake.params 2. GRADE=csharp mmake --use-mmc-make | ||||||||

Step (2) needs to be mmake --use-mmc-make GRADE=csharp Adding GRADE=csharp to Mmake.params doesn't work properly since Mmake.workspaces is included before Mmake.params and the former makes the relevant settings concerning what libraries mdbcomp is linked against. |

I don't think there's much more to be done here. Since compilers built in the non-C grades don't work terribly well anyway, I don't think there is much to be gained from improving support for building them. (Supporting four different target languages makes things quite convoluted anyway.) I will add sections to README.CSharp, README.Java etc describing how to build the compiler in the corresponding grades (for those that are interested in such experimentation.) |

I have updated the README files for the non-C backends with a description of how to build the compiler. |
