What error (if any) do you get from python?
Try if it will run a "hello world" python program located in the same place as the compiler, see if the -vv option provides any info.
Thank you.
The compiler did run (I could see it in the task manager) but it was not exiting for a minute or so. After I restarted my computer, everything started to work as expected. (Not sure why.)
I read GNU coding standards:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Errors
I can make my custom compiler use these kind of messages:
sourcefile:line1.column1-line2.column2: message
Here are some more questions:
- The above format cannot be used under windows, because the source file name can have a colon in it. (E.g. C:\temp\text.txt:12:14). I really want to use absolute file names, because the compiler that I write is able to read source files from different drives automatically, and because the files are organized in packages (so two file can have the same name if they are in different packages). How to overcome that problem?
- Unfortunately, the message can also contain a colon. What to do with that?
- How to distinguish errors from warnings? I was reading the [build-menu] but I could only find some examples. It was not clear how to do it.
You can write a regex for what you need in the "Error regular expression" text box in the Build Commands configuration. I think you can also store the regexp in the `filetype.yourlanguage` file.
