Linking error

[PhucVH888]

I tried to compile the following example with extractor pattern

#!/usr/bin/env encorec -run

passive class Link {
  assoc : int
  next  : Link

  def link() : Maybe int {
    Just this.assoc }

}

class Main
  def main() : void {
    ()
  }

And I get the error message:

phuc:workspace vo$ encorec test.enc
Importing module String from /Users/vo/code/encore/bundles/standard/String.enc
ld: can't open output file for writing: test, errno=21 for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
 *** Compilation failed with exit code 1 ***

the error message doesn't appear when I compiled it in the root folder of Encore's compiler.

• If I compile the snippet from /Users/vo/code/encore then there is no error.
• If I compile the snippet from /Users/vo/Dropbox/encore then the error appears.

This is not a bug in the String library! The error message is telling you that it cannot write to the file test in the current folder. Is there already a file called test in /Users/vo/Dropbox/encore?

(You should see the same error if you remove everything but the Main class)

[PhucVH888]

yes, there is already a folder name test, and when I rename the folder to test123, then re-compile the snippet, there is no error.

That makes sense. You were trying to write an executable program to a file used as a folder, which was rejected by bash. Closing this now!
