Why is macro not replaced in the path to a file?

My operating system is Windows XP Professional. I invoke "clearmake lib" from command prompt.

Windriver 5.8.0.0 compiler does run. This compiler tries to open some gcc parser configuration file but it cannot find the file because path to this file is incorrect as follows:

GNU options parser fatal error: config file wasn't found: $(CC_ROOT)\conf\gcc_parser.conf

In the makefile, CC_ROOT is defined as follows: CC_ROOT=$(CC_HOME)$/diab$/5.8.0.0

CC_HOME is defined as follows: CC_HOME = \folder1l\folder2\environment\WindRiver

The makefile also exports variables need by WindRiver Compiler as follows: export DIABLIB=$(CC_ROOT) export WIND_HOME=$(CC_HOME) export WIND_PREFERRED_PACKAGES=diab-5.8.0.0 export WIND_DIAB_PATH=$(CC_HOME)\diab\5.8.0.0

When I echo macros DIABLIB and CC_ROOT, I see they are replaced by their values, which is

the path. Then, why does $(CC_ROOT) appears in the path to file above? Why doesn't it's value appear in the path?

If I export DIABLIB without a macro as follows: export DIABLIB=\folder1\folder2\environment\WindRiver\diab\5.8.0.0

then, compilation is successful.

Thanks!

From your post, it looks like you are having trouble with "clearmake". As far as I know, this is not a standard "make" utility but a specialised utility that comes with ClearCase revision control system. You might be lucky and find someone here that uses ClearCase and is an expert on clearmake, but you would be better off looking for clearmake help than looking in comp.arch.embedded. First find out who is responsible for ClearCase in your company - that person should be able to help you, or at least to put you in touch with ClearCase support.

And this is a Usenet group - not a web forum, and certainly not a paid support line. You are /not/ going to get more help by re-posting your question every hour. Get a newsreader, and follow the group - if anyone can help you, you'll see the replies when they have time to answer.
