Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Converting MSVC /showInclude to unix friendly path Post 302496335 by krad on Sunday 13th of February 2011 05:00:30 PM

I've got it now. It took a long time of trial-and-error(and lots of errors) but eventually I found out how to do it. A simple google search showed that putting "\\ " would work with file names that have spaces in them, but it actually requires just a "\ "(which actually makes more sense).

The final line looks messy, but here it is:

Code:
sed -e 's@Note: including file: *@/cygdrive/@' -e 's@\\@\/@g' -e 's@:@@g' -e 's@ @\\ @g' -e's@.cpp@.obj : @' "depends.d.tmp" | sed -e '{:q;N;s/\n/ /g;t q}' | sed -e 's@^@/object/@' > "depends.d";

Fairly nasty, but it does the trick.

Actually, this solves the problem of taking the /showIncludes output and parsing it to a make readable format. by using:

Code:
cl foo.cpp /Fo"foo.obj" /showIncludes > depends.d.tmp

It also pipes the warning and error messages. It can't tell the difference between errors and correct output... This means that the first time you have an error in your code, it will spit out a bad depends.d file which is then included in the makefile, which means any further compiles are going to fail...

I can see why most people don't use /showIncludes to generate the dependency graph! However, it shouldn't be that difficult to write a script that takes the err code returned from cl.exe and then determine if it should even bother converting the depends.d.tmp. Thats the next part I am going to tackle!

uudemon(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							uudemon(4)

NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory: /usr/lib/uucp DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file. This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com- mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script. FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file. RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1) Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off uudemon(4)
