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!

NAME
zipnote - write the comments in zipfile to stdout, edit comments and rename files in zipfile SYNOPSIS
zipnote [-w] [-b path] [-h] [-v] [-L] zipfile ARGUMENTS
zipfile Zipfile to read comments from or edit. OPTIONS
-w Write comments to a zipfile from stdin (see below). -b path Use path for the temporary zip file. -h Show a short help. -v Show version information. -L Show software license. DESCRIPTION
zipnote writes the comments in a zipfile to stdout. This is the default mode. A second mode allows updating the comments in a zipfile as well as allows changing the names of the files in the zipfile. These modes are described below. EXAMPLES
To write all comments in a zipfile to stdout use for example zipnote foo.zip > foo.tmp This writes all comments in the zipfile foo.zip to the file foo.tmp in a specific format. If desired, this file can then be edited to change the comments and then used to update the zipfile. zipnote -w foo.zip < foo.tmp The names of the files in the zipfile can also be changed in this way. This is done by following lines like "@ name" in the created temporary file (called foo.tmp here) with lines like "@=newname" and then using the -w option as above. BUGS
The temporary file format is rather specific and zipnote is rather picky about it. It should be easier to change file names in a script. Does not yet support large (> 2 GB) or split archives. SEE ALSO
