[odb-users] Error when compiling ODB compiler in 2.5.0-b25 on Windows

[DEMBROGE Michael]

Thank you Boris for the info. Regarding the capitalization, that was a Microsoft auto-format in the email that I did not notice. The original commands used lower-case 'c'. Regarding the compiler version, I tried both, gcc & g++ and had no luck either way.

That said, I was able to get it to compile on another computer. I had previously built the ODB libraries for Linux on my machine using WSL, so I think there is some remnant or something that is causing it to fail. When I built on a clean machine, it worked okay.

Thanks again,

Mike

There are two issues with this command line:

1. All then config.* variables should start with the lower-case letter. So
   config.cxx instead of Config.cxx, etc.

2. The compiler name specified with config.cxx should be g++, not gcc.
