[ADMB Users] Please test updated installation documentation - Bug still not fixed

Wed Nov 20 19:18:44 PST 2013

Thanks, Ian. It's great to have multiple checks. Unfortunately, I can't
replicate your results. The attempt to build ADMB failed for me.

I used your link to obtain admb-r1353-src.zip, then I followed the detailed
instructions at:

http://www.admb-project.org/buildbot/documentation/quickstartwindows.html

In particular, I installed mingw with "get-mingw.bat". When I attempted to
build ADMB, the process worked for a while, but then crashed with these
final steps:

****************** Start of final output

****************** End of final output

I'm not sure that I'm reading this correctly, but it appears to me that a
contributed library (ad2csv) has a bug. Odd that this worked for you but not
for me.

Thanks to everyone for your persistence with all this.

Hi Johnoel and Jon,

Everything worked fine building with the r1353 files using both an existing
MinGW and also downloaded using get-mingw.bat (which takes a while, but
worked fine).

I like the "quick start" instructions better than the plain text file and it
seems easier to maintain than the instructions on Plone (which should
presumably be removed soon).

I did note that the link at the top of the MinGW to the Visual C++
instructions (which I didn't try) fails due to case sensitivity. The first
fails and the second works:

That was fixed use

admb-r1353-src.zip

http://www.admb-project.org/buildbot/snapshots/admb-r1353-src.zip

Or 

svn update

Please provide feedback.

Hi Jon,

I got the identical error running using the same files but with my existing
MinGW installation in place.

Thanks, Johnoel (and also Ian). I got the latest version of ADMB from your
link at

http://www.admb-project.org/buildbot/snapshots/admb-latest.zip. 

Then I carefully followed your latest instructions  at

http://www.admb-project.org/buildbot/documentation/quickstartwindows.html,

where I even used your specified path C:\admb. Unfortunately, "make" stills
fails with the final commands shown below:

******* Final commands

make[1]: *** [..\build\objects\dist\optlp-nh99-banner.obj] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/admb/src'

make: *** [g++-all] Error 2

******* End final commands

This time the procedure got one step beyond amoeba.cpp, but failed at
banner.cpp. I checked to verify that "banner.cpp" actually exists in the
directory C:\admb\src\nh99; it does. I can't understand how dozens (or
hundreds?) of commands can work fine, but then fail at this particular step.

Ian, thanks for your offer to run tests. If you have a chance, I'd very much
like to know if you get this same error when you follow the same steps that
I did.

Best wishes,

Jon

Thank you all for testing and providing feedback.  I was able to duplicate
and resolve the issue.

The problem was user system PATH having sh.exe or bash.exe in it.  This
caused the build files 

to use Unix commands like cp or rm instead of copy or del for Windows.  The
fixes have been 

committed to version control.  Please update your copy and test the
procedures in

http://www.admb-project.org/buildbot/documentation/

As always, thank you for providing feedback.

Cheers,

Johnoel
