Hi Adam,
I presume you’re trying to run the script in a Windows environment, so after you modified the last line of the just enter into a command line box and type “python.exe sln2make.py” (without quoting). Of course you must have python interpreter installed.

How do I run the script after putting in the path on the last line?

Hi Craig,
Here is the problem: I didn’t make the script to use as a command line tool… It may sound silly but the reason is that I’m using it in another script in my project.
So instead of passing the path to your .sln as an argument, please open the sln2make.py and modify the last line of the script with the corresponding path.

Fernando.

Hi kperlotto,
this seems to happen when the PathCorrent can not find the file, so make sure that ”ug104.sln” exist in the same directory of sln2make remember that you can use a relative path e.g. “..\\xxx\\ug104.sln”. Best regards.

OOps, here a solution:

Guy, I would going to present you a BIG bottle or beer, but seems that I so stuped, and it’s not working well for me.

Finaly, I undestand how to run it properly, but seems my MAKE not like generated Makefile.
Here is a generated Makefile:
===================
# sln2make autogenerated Makefile.ag
dir_root=../
dir_tmp=tmp
dir_obj=$(dir_tmp)/obj
dir_lib=lib

all:
$(MAKE) -C consprog -f Makefile.ag

clean:
$(MAKE) -C consprog -f Makefile.ag clean
rm $(dir_lib)/Release/* bin/Release/*
===================

and here is a error mesage from make:
===================
$ make
Makefile:8: *** missing separator. Stop.

===================

Can you say me, where I’m wrong, and how I can fully enjoy this coolest script for the moment?
