SOMOBJ.H syntax errors

[xynixme]

I'm trying to recompile the WPS DLL of CmdHere_1-12b402.zip with IBM VAC 3.08 and theTK 4.52, just to see if it's not that hard to translate the WPS UI's "OS/2 windowed" to, let's say, the usual "eCS-opdrachtaanwijzing (Venster)". After editing a few paths in CMDHERE.MAK, this is the output of NMAKE CMDHERE.MAK:

I've read an old article about %INCLUDE%, but I've only got one copy of SOMOBJ.H:

Code: [Select]

30-06-99 19:15         43.815      0 a---  somobj.h
Lines 245-250 of SPMOBJ.H (syntax error @ line #249):

Code: [Select]

/*
 * New Method: somDefaultInit
 */
typedef void   SOMLINK somTP_SOMObject_somDefaultInit(SOMObject *somSelf,
som3InitCtrl* ctrl);
#pragma linkage(somTP_SOMObject_somDefaultInit, system)
What's required to get rid of those syntax errors?

Seems your using the SOMOBJ.H included with VAC 3.08,

Code: [Select]

Directory of G:\IBMCPP\INCLUDE\SOM

 5-19-95  1:50p        37,721      0 a---  SOMOBJ.H
        1 file(s)      37,721 bytes used
                  136,678,621 K bytes free

Make sure that your INCLUDE path has the toolkit first, something like,

Code: [Select]

set INCLUDE=G:\OS2TK45\SOM\INCLUDE;G:\OS2TK45\INC;G:\OS2TK45\H;G:\OS2TK45\H\GL;G:\OS2TK45\H\LIBC;.;G:\OS2TK45\SPEECH\H;G:\IBMCPP\INCLUDE;G:\IBMCPP\INCLUDE\OS2;G:\IBMCPP\INC;G:\IBMCPP\INCLUDE\SOM;

Don't forget the set LIB setting, I have

Code: [Select]

set LIB=G:\OS2TK45\SOM\LIB;G:\OS2TK45\LIB;G:\OS2TK45\SAMPLES\MM\LIB;G:\OS2TK45\SPEECH\LIB;G:\IBMCPP\LIB;G:\IBMCPP\DLL;

Looks like structure "som3InitCtrl" is not recognized which in turn means that some other header file is not included or does not contain this structure definition but it should.
You should do a tree search of all header files and find the file that contains "som3InitCtrl" structure definition. you should then check why it is not included. You should check if the structure definition is bracketed by some define and if yes, why that define is not set or set it manually from the compiler command line.
Beware, there are header files that DO NOT end with the .h extension. For example I seem to remember a header file with an .api file extension.

"som3InitCtrl" is defined in somapi.h which should be included by top-level som.h (which also includes somobj.h) . You should check why this does not happen for you. You might only have one file somobj.h but you might have multiple files som.h. You might also need to run a different version of sc.exe (preferably the one from the OS/2 toollkit).

You might only have one file somobj.h but you might have multiple files som.h. You might also need to run a different version of sc.exe (preferably the one from the OS/2 toollkit).

I'll have to check paths. Probably due to a bug (*) I've got a IBMCPP\INCLUDE\SOM and a newer (1999 versus 1995) IBMCPP\SOM\INCLUDE directory. The chain of involved *.H files seems to be SOMOBJ.H (app), SOM.H and SOMAPI.H. I've got one SOMOBJ.H, but two of the other *.H files. I already checked SC.EXE. I've got 2, but the VABASIC one is the last in all PATHS. I haven't checked yet if using IBMCPP\SOM\INCLUDE helps.

(*) = install order: VAC 3 excluding toolkit, VAC 3.08x FixPaks, TK 4.52 (eCS 1.2R install CD), tools and own patches (C++ comment in C header file).

Solved: to not mix old and new, %INCLUDE%'s INCLUDE\SOM and SOM\INCLUDE had to be swapped. Maybe old can be deleted, but this works too. Thanks.

FWIW: there was another error, in WPFOLDER.H. It looks like a name of an OR'ed variable was 1 character too long. Deleting this name worked ("if (_short || __too_long) ..."). I edited and used a copy of WPFOLDER.H, to not screw up "the" single, original WPFOLDER.H file.
