Topic: Software Foundations - QuickChick TImp.v - fails to find QC

My coq version is 8.11.2, and I had to use coq_makefile to make a new makefile for this project. I mention this because it's possible I messed up!

When I run a make command, I get the following warning: *** Warning: in file TImp.v, library QC.QC is required and has not been found in the loadpath!

There is a QC.v file present, though. The line that creates the warning: From QC Require Import QC. I've noticed there have been some errors in this module (perhaps bitrot with newer versions of Coq?), so I think there may just be a newer more correct way to do it.

FWIW, I'm just using the software foundations downloaded from the website (the makefile was built with coq 8.11.1). I extracted the files into a directory and ran make (well, after recreating the makefile to get rid of another warning)

Thanks in advance for any help!

I noticed there is a _CoqProject file with the contents -Q . QC, which seems potentially related but I tried removing it and nothing changed, so no clue

Error in building when it gets to the file:
File "./TImp.v", line 12, characters 23-25: Error: Cannot find a physical path bound to logical path matching suffix <> and prefix QC.

When I try to combine in Coqtail (vim), I get this error: The file /Path/To/Software Foundations/qc/QC.vo contains library Top.QC and not library QC.QC which leads me to believe that this isssue is that QC.v is missing something now or something

I guess I can just get rid of the import and see where the file starts messing up...

yeah hm it seems I lost the monadic G A stuff, at the very least

You probably passed a wrong -Roption to coq_makefile

The original makefile should have a comment, in the header, with the options that were used to generate it.

That worked! Sigh, I should really prioritize understanding how all of this stuff gets built. Thanks again
