Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have org file with C source block. I work with file on Windows PC. I have linux machine, which is accessible through Putty. For reasons, i want to evaluate C code blocks there (mostly because it has gcc). Here is relevant fragment of my org file: > #+PROPERTY: header-args :noweb yes :results verbatim :dir /pscp:tcl:/home/tc > :flags -std=c99 > > Ok, time for something more interesting. > > Let's say we want to change 2 values between variables. How to do > that? As we learned, with pointers, like: > > #+NAME: swap_function > #+BEGIN_SRC C > void swap_int(int* pa, int* pb) > { > int c = *pa; > ,*pa = *pb; > ,*pb = c; > } > > #define SWAP(a, b, t) {t temp##t; temp##t = a; a = b; b = temp##t;} > > #+END_SRC > > Trying it out: > > #+BEGIN_SRC C :main no > > #include <stdio.h> > > <<swap_function>> > > void main() > { > int a = 1, b = 19; > printf("Before testing a=%d, b=%d\n", a, b); > swap_int(&a, &b); > printf("After testing function a=%d, b=%d\n", a, b); > SWAP(a, b, int); > printf("After testing macro a=%d, b=%d\n", a, b); > } > > #+END_SRC However, when i evaluate source block, i get the following error: > Spawning child process: invalid argument I have tried to debug the issue. Error is produced by call to > (write-region start end input-file) in function org-babel--shell-command-on-region. This supposedly creates on remote machine file containing user input (actually, empty). Evaluation does not go to the invocation of compiler command line, sadly. How can that be fixed?
