stubs error with NorCroft compiler

I have purchased the epic package and I am trying to set up the NorCroft compiler, following Steve Fryatt’s tutorial. However when I run a C file through the compiler I get the following message. “ARM Linker: (Fatal) File C:o.stubs not found.” Any ideas about what I am doing wrong? Thanks

Hi Colin,
before you run a build, you need to ensure that RISC OS Filer has seen AcornC/C++.!SetPaths App.

You can just click on AcornC/C++ that you should have installed in your $ directory of your SD card/Main HD.

Hope this helps,

P.S. ironically we have a video tutorial that is coming up soon that shows exactly this type of things.

Thanks Paolo, I have done that. When I run !SetPaths it throws an error relating to Perl, but seems Ok otherwise. The relevent path varaibles show up in a taskwindow search. The compiler is also finding the OSLib stuff. I will fiddle again in the morning.

Colin,

When I run !SetPaths it throws an error relating to Perl,

That most likely means it can’t find Perl-5_001 in $.Programming in the same disc where you have installed AcornC/C++.

There directories (Perl-5_001 and Routines-1_48) are provided with the DDE zip file.

Please note that if something is not installed correctly, the !SetPaths process my interrupt (due an error) and not complete correctly.

In case of doubts, please check this full tutorial on how to install DDE correctly on every version of RISC OS:

Hope this helps,

All working now. I am still not used to installing software. Thank you Paolo.
