Ah getting somewhere (goes away and checks) - I needed to export variable "TARGET" to include the standard hpux dbdk make include, i.e. makeinc.hpux32. Now it's getting as far as: make b -f regexpU.mak server Make: Don't know how to make b. Stop. *** Error exit code 1 I'm not an export on "make" (you may have guessed) but I'll plod on. If anyone else has succesfully compiled regexp, please let me know. I'll keep this thread topped-up as I (hopefully) get further. Cheers Malc

have you tired ignoring the makefile and build the cc line by hand ? have you tried it with gcc ? malc_p@btinternet.com wrote: > > Jonathan Leffler wrote: > > On 23 Dec 2005 04:26:53 -0800, malc_p@btinternet.com > > <malc_p@btinternet.com> wrote: > > > Ok - first hurdle: > > > Make for morons?

Stop. > On your command line, you said 'make b' and 'use regexpU.mak' to define the rules. I suggest trying without 'b' on the command line. Is 'server' defined in the makefile? You'd probably have a line that looks like the word 'server' followed by one or (possibly) two colons; if not that, then there'd be a line that looks like "$(MACRO):" or "${MACRO}:" (they're equivalent) where MACRO expands to 'server'. There are more complex scenarios, but these are the most likely two. > *** Error exit code 1 > I'm not an export on "make" (you may have guessed) but I'll plod on. > If anyone else has succesfully compiled regexp, please let me know. > I'll keep this thread topped-up as I (hopefully) get further.

Hi - just curious, what would be the benefit of using the regex datablade instead of just using a Java UDR, given that regex is readily available in Java? Is it a lot more performant? - Matt Jonathan Leffler wrote: > On 28 Dec 2005 02:49:31 -0800, malc_p@btinternet.com > <malc_p@btinternet.com> wrote: > >>Jonathan Leffler wrote: >> >>>On 23 Dec 2005 04:26:53 -0800, malc_p@btinternet.com >>><malc_p@btinternet.com> wrote: >>> >>>>[...] >>>>Can anyone explain what >>>>"Make: Cannot read or get ." - that's a full stop/period at the end - >>>>means and how I get past it? > > [...] > >>>So, your situation is: >>>* I managed somehow to download the regex datablade onto XYZ platform >> >>Correct, qv previous post >> >>>* Now I'm trying to build it for IDS version PQR using C compiler ABC >>>version DEF. >> >>IDS V9.30 on HP-UX11i with ANSI c compiler. >> >>>* Unfortunately, make says "Make: Cannot read or get .". >> >>Yup.
