When I use the --abi option, the abi interface is generated:
$ solc Greeter.sol --abi
======= Greeter.sol:mortal =======
Contract JSON ABI
[{"constant":false,"inputs":[],"name":"kill","outputs":[],"payable":false,"type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"payable":false,"type":"constructor"}]
But when I ask it to put it into the output folder, with -o build, the file is missing:
WHHA@NBVAL752 ~/dev/java-magazine-tutorial
$ solc Greeter.sol --abi -o build
WHHA@NBVAL752 ~/dev/java-magazine-tutorial
$ ls build/
Greeter.sol
WHHA@NBVAL752 ~/dev/java-magazine-tutorial
$ cat build/Greeter.sol
The only generated file is Greeter.sol which is emtpy.
The contract code is:
$ less Greeter.sol pragma solidity ^0.4.2;
contract mortal { /* Define variable owner of the type address*/ address owner; /* this function is executed at initialization and sets the owner of the contract */ function mortal() { owner = msg.sender; }
/* Function to recover the funds on the contract */ function kill() { if (msg.sender == owner) suicide(owner); } } Greeter.sol (END)
SOlc version is:
$ solc --version
solc, the solidity compiler commandline interface
Version: 0.4.9+commit.364da425.Windows.msvc
Any idea??
