Topic: Makefile-related malfunction

SF 2.36/2416
Windows 8
SSD with plenty of spare capacity
Running SF as an Administrator
-----------------------------------

I started SF this morning and it opened a project. 
I then used the menu to opened a different existing project.
I build 64-bit and 32-bit versions of my projects in the same folder, which I do by including "32" and "64" in the names of the applicable '.prj' files and Makefiles and of the corresponding modules and build folders.  This was the 64-bit version I was trying to work on, which I think relevant only because of a comparison I mention below that I was able to make of the existing Makefile and the one I had generated when all of the following happened.

This error appeared:

A severe internal error occurred whilst creating the Makefile.
Please report this issue (SEH) to support@approximatrix.com

I then tried to 'Clean' the project, which generated another error, then I tried again to clean it, also unsuccessfully.  I then shut down SF and re-started it, re-loaded the same project, and again tried to 'Clean' it.  When this failed I tried to 'Build' the project.  During these attempts, the following errors all appeared.  I am sorry but I failed to keep a precise note of which of them appeared at which stages in what I describe above that I did.   

==============================================================================
Warning(W39): Target (clean) not mentioned in any makefile
Error(F38): (clean) does not exist and cannot be made from existing files
Error(E02): Make execution terminated

* Failed *
Error(E32): Opening file (Makefile64): Permission denied
Error(E02): Make execution terminated

* Failed *
MESSAGE IN THE BUILD-STATUS PANE:
Generating Makefile... Okay

MESSAGE IN A POP-UP DIALOG BOX:
An error occurred whilst writing the Makefile.
Please check permissions and Makefile settings

After all of the above, I again shut down SF, then went to the project folder in my Windows directory structure and ran the 'Take Ownership' utility.

On re-starting SF, the same project auto-reopened.
I did NOT then manually re-open it but I checked that it was the same project as before, which it was.  When I tried to 'Clean' it, I received this message in the Build-status pane:

An error has occurred during build.
    The project directory could not be determined.

I then re-opened the same project and again tried 'Clean', with this result: 

Warning(W39): Target (clean) not mentioned in any makefile
Error(F38): (clean) does not exist and cannot be made from existing files
Error(E02): Make execution terminated

* Failed *

I then shut down SF again and looked at the project folder.  I saw that the Makefile, "Makefile64", was there, and its date and time showed it had just been created.  What I also noticed was that it was very short, compared with the 32-bit Makefile, "Makefile32", which I had not touched during all of the palaver described above.  Makefile32 was 31860 bytes, whereas Makefile64, just created, was 484 bytes.

Here is what Makefile64 contained (the whole file, which I noted was just 12 lines long):

#

  Here is what Makefile32 contained (not the whole file, just the first 33 out of 505 lines, which should be enough of it to show what should have come next in Makefile64):

I haven't yet solved this problem, though I expect I can do.  I'm finishing this report at this point only because my train journey into London is just about to end.

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

John,

The important error here is:

A severe internal error occurred whilst creating the Makefile.
Please report this issue (SEH) to support@approximatrix.com

The other symptoms are caused by this initial error, which is a "Structured Exception Handling" (SEH) safety catch.  Most likely, Windows intercepted a memory access violation during Makefile construction.  When this error was thrown, it was indicating that the Makefile was never properly created.  Attempting to Clean after this error will fail because the Makefile either doesn't exist or wasn't properly created.  The bad file permissions were probably caused by Simply Fortran's failure to close the file after encountering the issue (Simply Fortran indeed doesn't close the file within the exception handler, which is possibly bad).

If you can delete the problem Makefile, Makefile64 in your case, you should be able to:

1. Load the project
2. Click Generate Makefile in the Build menu
3. Proceed as normal

If the above doesn't work, there may be some residual permissions errors.

Based on what had been written to the file, the list of library search directories caused the exception to be thrown.  That part of Simply Fortran has been historically problematic.  I'll have another look, and we might have to rework how the directories are handled.

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

Jeff,
The aberrant behaviour I reported earlier seems a little worse than I thought.
I've only just now managed to get back to this problem, but here is what I did, and how SF responded:

I deleted the Makefile from outside SF.
I then tried re-running SF and using both Build and Clean.
They both produced the same errors as before.

I exited from SF and deleted the Makefile again.
I then re-ran SF and loaded the project.
Without touching the project, I tried Build>Generate Makefile.
This produced the illogical error msg, "Please save the Project before proceeding"
(illogical because I had nottouched the project).

I clicked OK and then tried Project>Save.
This produced, needlessly, a SAVE-AS dialog
(needless, because I had nottouched the project I had opened).

I cancelled the SAVE-AS, shut down SF, and repeated all of the above.
The behaviour was exactly the same.  It would not generate a Makefile unless I SAVEd the very project I'd just opened, and SF escalated the SAVE command to a SAVE-AS dialog.

I selected the current project title in the SAVE-AS dialog, and OK'd the SAVE.
I then checked the directory to see what had changed.
The only change was a new .prj file.  There was still no Makefile, since I last deleted it.

I now found that I had an empty project.
That is, all source files were missing from the project list, and all Project Options were erased.
Not a disaster, but a REAL nuisance.  Adding back the source files isn't too hard but the Project Options are a pain to reconstruct because they're complicated, so hard to remember, and they need to be very precise.

SUGGESTION: Could you insert an option for SF to save backups of the .prj file, whenever it gets re-saved?

I'll post a further report as soon as I've repaired it all.

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

I was able to repair the project fairly quickly.  I did s because I remembered that I had a 32-bit .prj file as well as a .64 bit .prj file. so all I had to do was open the 32-bi version, chage a few parameters, and SAVE-AS to the 64-bit version.

Before I did this, I tried BUILDing the 32-bit project.  This gave the same 'SEH' error as I had received with the 64-bit project, at the start of this saga.

The solution eludes me at the moment.  I'll keep persevering though.

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

John,

I don't know how or why your project file would be corrupted.  Did it appear as you'd expect when you loaded it but before you overwrote the file from the Save As dialog?

The SEH failure cannot be fixed on your end.  It was almost certainly caused by library search directories or, possibly, linker flags within the Project Options.  Again, it is purely an internal bug.

There is a new build, 2437, available now on the Download page that reworks how the development environment keeps track of library search directories.  It might possibly fix the problem.  If not, I might be able to troubleshoot if you send along the offending project file.

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

Thanks Jeff.

I'm downloading 2.37 now, and I'll let you know if that fixes the problem.

In the meantime:

(1)  In answer to your questyion, yes, the project looked completely normal each time I loaded it.

(2)  Here is a further report, which I tried a few times to send you yesterday, when you were having problems with the server:

Another clue
After I ran 'TakeOwnership' on the project directory, then retried SF on the project, this error appeared:

Assertion failed
child !=NULL, function json_insert_child, file..\src\json.c,line 481.

As I say, I'll post another report as soon as I've tried 2.37

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

Using WinSF2.37/

Load the project : All looked normal.
Clean : failed.  I didn't note down the error but it was about there being nothing listed to clean.
Build>Create Makefile :  No response indicated (which might mean a Makefile has been built, silently).
Build the project : Crashed FWin with no message (or none I managed to see).

R-start SF
Load the project : all looked normal.
Build the project: Crashed FWin, with this message in the console:
Error launching "Wmake."  Code (-1)

R-start SF
Load the project : all looked normal.
Build the project:
Severe internal error whilst creating the Makefile.  Pls report SEH to Approximatrix.

Look at the Makefile with a text editor:

all: "Instruct32.SF.exe" .SYMBOLIC

So it seems (from just a quick look) as if the Makefile HAS BEEN successfully built.

From outside SF : Delete the Makefile
Re-start SF.
Load the project : All looks normal.
Build> Create Makefile: No response in the console.
From outside SF, check the project folder: the Makefile is there, a bit smaller than before.
View the Makefile in a text editor: Last few lines are the same as before, so it looks OK.
Alt-tab back to SF.
Clean: 

An error occured launching make.

* Error Launching "wmake" (Code -1) *

Check the project directory: the Makefile is still there, same length.
Build: Generating Makefile... Okay, then SEH error, and FWin crashed.

Look at the Makefile with a text editor: It now contains only this:

#
# Automagically generated by Approximatrix Simply Fortran 2.37
#
FC="üÿ"
CC=""
AR="

I note that line 4, where it failed, contains jibberish.

Re-start SF
Load the project: all looks normal.
Project>View Makefile: It shows the same truncated version as above.
Generate Makefile: No response at the Console.
At-tab to Windows, look at the Makefile: It's there, full length.
Alt-tab back to SF, View Makefile: It fails to display the new version, still shows the truncated one. 

* Error Launching "wmake" (Code -1) *  Check the project directory: the Makefile is still there, same length.
Build: Generating Makefile... Okay, then SEH error, and FWin crashed.

Look at the Makefile with a text editor: It now contains only this:

#
# Automagically generated by Approximatrix Simply Fortran 2.37

WRC="

I note that line 4, where it failed, it agains contains jibberish - but different jibberish from last time.

Pack it up and make a coffee.  Sorry I can't offer you one!

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

John,

You're having far too many unrelated errors, and I'm not sure what's happening.  One by one:

Assertion failed
child !=NULL, function json_insert_child, file..\src\json.c,line 481.

You didn't really specify what you were doing when this occurred.  Were you loading a project file?

Crashed FWin, with this message in the console:
Error launching "Wmake."  Code (-1)

Did Simply Fortran crash after this appeared in the console, or did this message just appear?

An error occured launching make.

* Error Launching "wmake" (Code -1) *

The above message means that either:

1. Simply Fortran could not find wmake.exe because your settings have become somehow corrupted, a virus scanner deleted the file, etc.  Check "Make and Makefile" under the Options menu. or...

2.  Windows (or a virus scanner) is prohibiting wmake.exe from being executed at all.

Build: Generating Makefile... Okay, then SEH error, and FWin crashed.

So the message appeared in the Console, then Simply Fortran crashed entirely?

The nonsense appearing where your compiler settings should be suggests, again, that your settings have somehow become corrupted (which would explain why wmake won't launch).  Check to see what files are listed under "Compiler" in the Options menu.  It could be, though, that they are only corrupted in memory for some reason.

I would also suggest, for the time being, that you simply switch back to 2.36.  I don't know why you're seeing these problems, but I haven't been able to replicate the issue.  Again, you're seeing too many errors at once, which suggests something far bigger is wrong.  If you need a link to a 2.36 installer, let me know and I can provide it.


EDIT: One last question, do you have a virus scanner installed, and, if so, which one?

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

Some quick checks:

Compiler options set to:
Fortran:       C:\Program Files (x86)\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\bin\gfortran.exe
C/C++:       C:\Program Files (x86)\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\bin\gcc.exe
Resources:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\bin\windres.exe
AR location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\bin\ar.exe
Both boxes ticked

Make options set to:

Important:
I AM ABLE to compile/build other projects.
It's just my main project which is suddenly crashing SF.
I am not aware of anything I've changed.

I've just tried it again.  I loaded it and tried to Build.
Result:

Generating Makefile...OK
Failed to properly call Wmake.
Error launching "Wmake."  Code (-1).
Fwin crash.

Really odd!

Example of a project that SF can build
(I've just this mment run this.  Wmake seems to be working correctly):-

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

Some of my other settings:

C compiler: [blank]

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

Jeff,

Suddenly, after I have done NOTHING to the project, changed no code, changed no settings, uninstalled or reinstalled nothing, made no reboot, I have been able to load it and Clean it without error.  I am at a loss to explain why the previous errors did not occur this time.

However, on trying to Build, this same error returned:

==============================================================================
Generating Makefile... Okay
==============================================================================
Failed to properly call make

* Error Launching "wmake" (Code -1) *

There was, however, no crash.

Again, it has failed to call wmake properly, even though we know it' there where the SF settings say it is, and it works normally.

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

When trying to Clean a second time, I received a wmake error, then on trying to Build, my old friend SEH paid me another visit.

I then re-started SF, loaded the project and tried to clean, and another irksome lady appeared - someone I have not met before:

==============================================================================
Makefile64(4): Error(F46): Illegal character value 03H in file
Error(E02): Make execution terminated

* Failed *

.

There's really something mad going on here.
I'll run a virus check next.

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

Virus check revealed one trojan and one PUP.  Both removed.
Also received a security update from my company, installed and rebootred.

Ran SF3.7, loaded the project, did a successful Clean.
Saved the project.
Exited from SF, re-started SF, re-loaded the project.
Tried to Build.  Failed:
==============================================================================
Generating Makefile... Okay
==============================================================================

* Error Launching "wmake" (Code -1) *

I'll keep trying.

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

John,

I've got a crash on my end now.  Give me a little time to sort out what's wrong.

Re: Makefile-related malfunction

John,

Build 2440 is now available on the Download page that should fix the issue.  There was an uninitialized pointer in the code for creating the list of library and include directories that could trigger a memory violation if a project mentioned any folder other than the defaults.

There may still be a problem, but we'll tackle that next.

Jeff, I take my hat off to you. SF must be immensely complicated, with all that the program must keep track of. So it is hardly surprising that an occasional insect crawls into the code, yet, true to form, you have found it and squelched it within hours.  Thank you.
I can confirm that the problem i reported has now gone.
