I use star-cd 3.15a, windows 2000 and absoft8.0.

I try to generate a new exe file in star-cd, but I can not.

This is the first error:

"Corrupt parm.inc file - exiting starlink."

Who know how can I generate a new exe file in windows version?

Is there any document about this topic?

Thanks,

Did you write the parm.inc with Prostar on that windows version? If not, thats the problem.

Yes, I write with pro-am on windows version. In other problem, I use udf too. I can not generate exe file.

hmm, I would guess that there is a problem with running grep or sed under the pdksh on your machine...if you look at the starlink script, there is a line:

MAXDMN=`grep -i MAXDMN parm.inc | sed -e 's/.*=\(.*\)).*/\1/' -e 's/ //g'`

if you start up a command prompt, run the pdksh, then try executing

grep -i MAXDMN parm.inc | sed -e 's/.*=\(.*\)).*/\1/' -e 's/ //g'

see if it properly returns the value corresponding to MAXDMN in your parm.inc file.

Dear Kevin,

It returns 1

In parm.inc file I have PARAMETER (MAXDMN= 1).

What is MAXDMN? Does it have currect parameter?

Dear Kevin,

Below line in starlink does not work properly.

MAXDMN=`grep -i MAXDMN parm.inc | sed -e 's/.*=\(.*\)).*/\1/' -e 's/ //g'`

I add MAXDMN=1 after that and everything is OK now. But it is not good solution.

Why that line does not work properly?

I had a problem that was about the same. I solved it by adding the option -o to the grep command in starlink. It has something to do with the difference between the pksh and a normal csh. The output from grep is formatted just a little bit different this pksh. By adding the -o option this can probably be corrected. The line in starlink now looks like

MAXDMN='grep -i -o MAXDMN patm.inc | ser -e 's/.*=\(.*\)).*/\1/'-e 's/ //g''

I hope this works for you also

Dear Michiel,

I use windows version of star-cd and grep.

There is not -o option for grep in windows version.

What is -o option? Is there another option for it?

The -o option comes from the MS-grep command. If you type 'grep ?' in dos command mode than you see what these options are.

grep ? tells you thatthat the -o options gives you the UNIX output format

I think that maybe you have more than one copy of sed on your system. The sed to use is in $STARDIR/wingnu/bin and if you run pdksh and type sed you should see this: C:\>"c:\Program Files\STAR_520\wingnu\bin\sed.exe" Usage: c:/progra~1/star_520/wingnu/bin/sed.exe [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...

-n, --quiet, --silent

suppress automatic printing of pattern space -e script, --expression=script

add the script to the commands to be executed -f script-file, --file=script-file

add the contents of script-file to the commands to be executed -l N, --line-length=N

specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l' command -u, --unbuffered

--help display this help and exit -V, --version output version information and exit

If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret. All remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are specified, then the standard input is read.

E-mail bug reports to: bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org . Be sure to include the word ``sed'' somewhere in the ``Subject:'' field.

If you see output other than this you have the wrong sed and you can fix this in one of three ways:

1) modify starlink so it runs $STARDIR/wingnu/bin/sed.exe

2) modify your path so $STARDIR/wingn/bin is found further up the list

3) copy sed.exe form $STARDIR/wingnu/bin to somewhere further up on your path such as C:\WINNT\system32

Dear philip,

I have only one sed.exe on my system. I saw other file in wingnu\bin folder too (nnsed.exe). I edited starlink and I replaced sed with nnsed. Now everything is OK. But I think it is better that I don't edit starlink. Also I have got other solution too, But it is not good solution. I added MAXDMN=1 after below line in starlink. So I know this line does not work properly.

MAXDMN=`grep -i MAXDMN parm.inc | sed -e 's/.*=\(.*\)).*/\1/' -e 's/ //g'`

Best Regards,
