Windows configure script eats path separator?

[mchamberland]

I'm trying to configure EGSnrc on a Windows 10 workstation. I'm using MinGW 7.5 from here.

During compilation of the egs++ library, certain paths are missing their separator so certain components are not properly built. Not everything, just certain ones, weirdly.

See part of the log:

Any ideas what causes this? I'm a little out of my element on Windows...

[ftessier]

Weird, how can it be missing only in some places? Is this through the GUI or command line?

Through the GUI. Not sure how to run the configure script on Windows from CMD.exe.

[mchamberland]

Also, Windows Subsystem for Linux is not an option, sadly.

[rtownson]

I'm not sure if compiler version is the issue, but the first thing I would try is switching to mingw 6.4.0 or 7.3.0 from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/

Make sure to use a fully fresh install of EGSnrc if you switch compilers.

[mchamberland]

Same issue.

Interestingly, when I compile applications, I get something about unexpected end of line, but I can't figure out where this is coming from:

Similarly in the egs++ folder:
C:\data\egsnrc_clrp\HEN_HOUSE\egs++>mingw32-make
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:166: dso\uvmmc] Error 1

This is with MinGW 7.3.0.

Not sure if this is any helpful, but you can see in the egs++/dso folder that it's missing anything that is one folder or more folders deeper than the base egs++ folder (i.e., the geometry, shapes, and sources).

But there is also a dso/win-static folder created with some of those missing dll.

Any ideas?

[mchamberland]

I was able to get the configure script running and egs_c_utils fails to compile. I'll look into that a bit more closely later. But in the mean time, I appreciate any suggestions!

[rtownson]

Is this on Windows 11? We don't have a Win11 system to test on as far as I know, so it might not work out of the box.

[mchamberland]

@rtownson no, this is Windows 10 Enterprise. It's a work computer, so severely locked down. Not the end of the world if I can't get it working. I will try on a workstation where I have more permissions in the meantime and see if I get any further.

[mainegra]

How did you run the script? WSL?

[mainegra]

Hi Marc,

Last time I did a Windows 10 install, in January 2023, I used version 8.1 and it worked just fine!

GNU Fortran (x86_64-posix-seh-rev0, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 8.1.0

It is also strange the folder separator is missing only in some cases as @ftessier pointed out.

[mainegra]

Interestingly, I just tried with GNU Fortran 8.3 (x86_64-posix-seh, Built by strawberryperl.com project) and it worked, except egs_phsp_scoring which fails with error:

egs_phsp_scoring.cpp: In constructor 'EGS_PhspScoring::EGS_PhspScoring(const string&, EGS_ObjectFactory*)':
