Hi, when generating the project files on Windows and the apr bin-directory being missing the python gen-make.py call currently produces the following cryptic error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gen-make.py", line 326, in <module>
main(conf, gentype, skip_depends=skip, other_options=rest.list)
File "gen-make.py", line 62, in main
generator = gen_module.Generator(fname, verfname, other_options)
File "build\generator\gen_vcnet_vcproj.py", line 36, in __init__
'vcnet-vcproj')
File "build\generator\gen_win.py", line 83, in __init__
self.find_libraries(True)
File "build\generator\gen_win_dependencies.py", line 299, in
find_libraries
self._find_apr()
File "build\generator\gen_win_dependencies.py", line 408, in _find_apr
bin_files = os.listdir(dll_dir)
WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified:
'[...]\\dependencies\\httpd\\srclib\\apr\\bin/*.*'
The attached patch adds a check to produce a better readable error instead:
ERROR: no apr bin folder detected.
Make sure to have apr built prior to generating the SVN project.
Regards,
Stefan
