Is it available any tool, script or etc. to create makefile from .ninja file? I have searched the Internet and I have't found anything about this topic yet.

I have been trying to install PDcurses on my Windows 10 machine. The README.md says to run: make -f Makefile to build pdcures.dll in the 'wincon' folder. However when i ran this in Powershell it did not create any .dll, instead creating many .o files.
Then i tried to run 'make -f Makefile.wcc' in Powershell and it returned the error 'makefile.wcc:9: *** missing separator. Stop.' I got similar errors using Makefile.bcc and Makefile.vc.
What am i doing wrong here? Am i supposed to build one of the .c files?
Each of the Makefiles is compiler-specific, as described in the README.md. There's no reason to try Makefiles intended for compilers other than the one you're using.
The Makefile doesn't build a DLL, by default -- only a static library (ending in .a or .lib). PDCurses is a small library, and there's not much benefit in building it as a DLL. But if you want to, that procedure is also described in the README.md. In short:
make DLL=Y
but please read the file for details. Note that, even if you build PDCurses as a DLL, you'll still also need the .a or .lib file to link against.
Problem
I see all these plugins from MobaXTerm, but I don't know how to make my own. I see no links to any tutorials or whatever. Is there even a way to do it?
What I really want (XY problem)
I want to create my own commands. I want these to be available on each server I go to and I don't want to add each of these to my bin and .bash_profile etc. I think plugin is the way to go.
Even more background
I am not that good in shell programming, but I can program java. I created a jar which handles my commands. So I have created my own linux script on my local environment to test all these things. They work, but I dont want to 'export' them to other servers. Seems like a bad idea to do.
MobaXterm plugins are just Windows or Cygwin executables packaged in a .mxt3 file which is just a standard ZIP archive with a specific structure.
Read this from the MobaXterm FAQ:
I would like to create a new plugin for MobaXterm. How can I do that?
Download an existing plugin file (for instance "Midnight commander")
Rename plugin extension from ".mxt3" to ".zip"
Open the ".zip" file You will notice that creating MobaXterm plugins only consists in putting the required commands (executables, libraries
and configuration files) into a ZIP file, keeping the same folders
tree than in MobaXterm ("/bin", "/lib", "/usr", "/etc").
If you want to add a simple Windows program (exe file), you will just have to copy the executable file into the "/bin" directory,
create the ZIP archive, rename it to ".mxt3" and put it in the same
directory than MobaXterm executable.
If you want to add a Linux program, you will have to get it from the Cygwin project or to recompile it using make, gcc, g++ or other
compilers that are available from the MobaXterm "Development" plugin.
Remember MobaXterm's terminal is just Cygwin, so you may be able to cross compile some packages within Moba by simply installing the necessary compiler tools.
I have spent too many hours trying to generate a .pdf document out of my Isabelle theory Increments.thy. The Isabelle build command gets stuck and apparently this is an installation thing on Windows. Frustratingly enough, friends have done this on their linux machines and they experience no problems at all. But I cannot find the right documentation to get it going on my Windows 7 laptop. Does anyone have the recipe?
I have a full LaTeX installation on my laptop, working like a breeze. I have installed CYGWIN, but it gave problems with access rights of files, that I couldn't solve (neither from the windows-end, nor from the cygwin-end). I tried various manuals, without much luck.
With some hands-on help of the university of Innsbruck, I could finally generate a pdf from an Isabelle theory on my Windows-7 laptop. I'd like to share the result for the community at large. Here is what I did to make it work:
In Microsoft Explorer, I went to the directory that contains the Isabelle executables. This directory is called Isabelle2016-1.
I found it by searching for Isabelle2016-1 in the file system. It is on C:\Users\sjo\AppData\Roaming\local\bin\Isabelle2016-1.
I checked that it contains the file Cygwin-Terminal.bat.
I called the file Cygwin-Terminal.bat by double-clicking it.
This opens a command-line interpreter (CLI), which is the GNU Bash interpreter.
In this CLI, I navigated to the directory that contains my Isabelle source code, Increments.sty, by issuing the command:
$ cd /cygdrive/d/git/Publications/2017AFPproofs
I used the command ls -al to verify that this directory contains my Isabelle source code file Increments.thy.
I generated a pdf-file D:\git\Publications\2017AFPproofs\output\document\root.pdf by calling Isabelle:
$ isabelle build -v -D .
I checked the result in Microsoft Explorer and displayed it with my pdf-viewer.
That worked.
Dear stackoverflow members,
I have a question that might sound silly to most of the members here, but it is bothering me for quite a while now and couldn't find any appropriate answer for it, yet.
My question is, how can we run a source code or binary of a open source project which is distributed under GNU license.
When I download the project, all I get is a .tar file, when unzipped, I get a folder containing many sub-folders, like src, build and etc. This folder looks similar to the project folder created by an IDE like netbeans. But how can I compile and modify these source file?
Is there an application that does it? or do i have to switch to linux to do it?
I am currently using a copy of windows 7 and also have a copy of windows xp at disposal.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.
cheers
Kishore.
Under GNU and GNU/Linux distros the packages are installed by the package manager (e.g. no need to build or download anything). Some programmers distribuite (along with the source code) binary versions of the program (which you run by clicking on them, or by invoking them from the command line). You can compile source code on Windows thanks to MinGW. For the istructions to run read the `README' file that you find in the unpacked dir. Most programs can be build with:
./configure; make; make install
If you post the link to the project I could help you with the building process.
I have the .proto file used in the open-source Android API (http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/), and am having some trouble compiling the file to generate the .py.
I'm trying to follow the instructions here, https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/pythontutorial , and am on the steps that are under the header "Compiling Your Protocol Buffers".
I've downloaded the compiler, protoc.exe. The readme says "To install, simply place this binary somewhere in your PATH," which I'm not understanding. I'm messed around with it for a while now, but can't think of how to proceed.
I'm quite the novice programmer, so please tell me if something isn't clear, or if I'm having some sort of fundamental misunderstanding... about anything. I'm on Windows 7 by the way.
Thanks!
if protoc.exe is not in the same directory you're calling it from, you need to add it to your PATH environment variable to be accessible from the calling directory when you're in the shell. open up a command shell and execute:
set PATH=%PATH%c:\directory\to\proto\executable;
then change directories over to where your source code is and execute the compilation line as instructed from the google page.
I had the same problem because it is not written that clear in the README.txt. What they mean is to:
1. take the protoc.exe and put it in the same folder with the other files of your project.
2. open the cmd to that directory and run: protoc --cpp_out=. myfile.proto
=> This will create the 2 new files in the folder with the files of your project, and then you can add them normally to your program.

This is for c++, but I guess it will be something similar for python; I guess you just have to change the command you are using in the cmd :)
