Spring link error

[LeroyLinux]

I have a windows xp machine at home, and I followed the instructions for mingw compiling with CMake. I downloaded the tdm-mingw-1.908.0-4.4.1-2.exe version of Mingw, and did a fresh installation of mingw on my system. I used CMake and got the mingwlibs_v20.2.7z and latest spring source from github.com/spring/spring/downloads.

I started CMake and did a MinGW configure, then from a Mingw console in the TotalATDM (the directory cmake creates I forget its exact name) I did mingw32-make.

Everything builds until the link, when it explodes with gxx-0-personality and unwind-resume undefined lines (about 20 of them) and dies.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Sound like you are using a bad combination of sjlj and dwarf2 libs. Try to download the dwarf2 variety of everything.

[hoijui]

why did you choose TDM?
the default is the normal MinGW, which i recommend.
That is what the instructions on the Wiki are about:
http://springrts.com/wiki/Building_Spri ... mmended.29
(i recommend getting 4.4, even though there is some 4.5 stuff already)

i just updated this wiki page (the mingwlibs reference)
be sure to get the version for GCC 4.4, if you will be using the official MinGW now.

i would bet on the mingwlibs for TDM to be outdated anyway (eg OpenAL).

After instaling the "official" mingw with gcc 4 and following the instructions, and a long linking of the spring.exe, I get

mingw32-make[4]: *** [spring.exe] Error 1

[LeroyLinux]

I want to start participating, but would like to get it to build...

[hoijui]

please use pastebin(.com) for such things.

if you go to your mingwlibs/README.markdown file,
does if contain the following text?
"cross-compiled by hoijui with MinGW 4.4.2 on 21. April 2010"
if yes, try using the master branch instead, if not, you still got the wrong mingwlibs branch.

[LeroyLinux]

After getting all the latest of everything, including the git source code, and reading the instructions, the build shows over and over:

Code: Select all

C:\msys\1.0\home\Jason\spring\mingwlibs\lib\libboost_signals-mt.a(named_slot_map.o): In function `pair':

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-mingw32/4.4.2/include/g++-v4/bits/stl_pair.h:68: undefined reference to `_Unwind_SjLj_Register'

I'm sorry if I'm being a bother about this and for the long code I posted earlier; my apologies.

[hoijui]

please answer the question i asked in my last post.

it seems to want SjLj symbols still, which i guess suggests, that you do not have a clean official MinGW 4.4 installed (no guarantee for that though).
Btw, the Wiki instructions should make clear what to get from MinGW, and they specifically recommend not to get latest of everything. Maybe that is the problem?

[Gahzi]

I just got it to build for me and I did it for my first time today.

Originally I had a been using TDM-mingw and was getting some errors, but I got it to build after switching to mingw + GCC4.4.0 (which is what it says to have in the wiki). Just make sure that your TDM is full uninstalled and reconfigure with cmake.

@hoijui: I noticed in the mingwlibs readme that I couldn't find "cross-compiled by hoijui with MinGW 4.4.2 on 21. April 2010". I don't see how I could be using an older version as I cloned the repo from git today. I think you forgot to push the readme in your latest commit. I may be wrong though :)

After getting spring to build properly, I double clicked on the .exe and recieved a missing devIl.dll error. Any ideas whats wrong?

Thanks a bunch!

[LeroyLinux]

I'd recommend one download of the minimum mingw setup, with gdb and auxillary ide, etc, for "newbies" to build and run, with a standard path setup and git, etc.

I followed all the instructions in the wiki, with the "official" mingw, "official" gcc and mingwlibs for gcc4 as a subdir of the spring directory. CMake was done exactly as in the instructions, and I did a mingw32-make. I felt so good as everything compiled and was linking spring.exe.

The twenty minutes later it exploded with not-found errors. Maybe something to do with this dwarf stuff or whatever. If versions are incorrect something should tell me before the twenty minute link-explosion.

[hoijui]

Leroy, did you checkout the right mingwlibs branch as described in the wiki?

Gahzi, no, i did not forget to upload it, prove is here:
http://github.com/spring/mingwlibs/blob ... E.markdown
search for "cross-compiled by hoijui with MinGW 4.4.2 on 21. April 2010" on this site.

[LeroyLinux]

From the wiki:

Code: Select all

MINGDIR=C:/MinGW 
PATH=%PATH%;%MINGDIR%\bin 
You also need some Spring dependencies, prepackaged in the mingwlibs archive. 

You can get it here (Download Source button, or use git): 

mingwlibs for MinGW GCC 4.4 or newer 
mingwlibs for MinGW GCC 4.3 or older 

I downloaded the MinGW GCC 4.4 of newer link

[Gahzi]

Yeah I see it now hoijui, sorry I was looking at the change log :)

Do you have any ideas about my other question involving the missing dll?

[hoijui]

Gahzi,
i do not get it.. you failed to compile but still tried to execute?

to both of you:
if that part is not in the README(.markdown) then you have the wrong version of mingwlibs. LeroyLinux, if you did get it from that link and the README does not contain this, then... maybe github is borked and always packs the master branch or something. try getting it with git clone then.

[Gahzi]

hoijui, thanks for the help. I realized that I was cloning the master branch instead of the boost branch. After getting the right mingwlibs, I seemed to be get some linking errors. Check below.

Code: Select all

I know you mentioned that my minGW may be the issue since I may be running stuff that is not the proper version. I will try to look at this later on tonight/tomorrow.

On a side note, its strange how when I was running the wrong mingwlibs, I was able to build and link to a spring.exe file.

Finally, thanks for your help so far. I really appreciate the time you spend answering these questions.

[LeroyLinux]

Sorry I haven't been around I know everyone missed me.

Anyway, I got the git mingwlibs and updated the spring source from git.

I get the following message now

[hoijui]

try the boost_... branch of mingwlibs.
that will probably compile, but fail to run, cause it was compiled with SJLJ exceptions, instead of dwarf2.
... i will start setting up an Ubuntu VM, and see if i can cross-compile boost there.

[FLOZi]

Or not. That's the exact same error I was getting. even with my own compilation of boost 1.43 and koshi's cross-compiled boost 1.41. (both compiled with dwarf2)

Perhaps a problem with gcc 4.5? Though I tried tdm 4.4 and didn't have any luck with that either.

edit: Much of my messing around wasn't much helped by MinGW's files being unavailable. Probably my mingw tdm install was severely botched.

[FLOZi]

From GCC 4.5 release notes:

New features:
-------------

* New TLS support: thread local variables work without the
need for external DLLs.

I'm going to try the official 4.4 build and see if that works with the master git branch of mingwlibs.

[FLOZi]

Eh triple post.

I finally got it working by using an older mingwrt package, 3.17 instead of 3.18:

http://sourceforge.net/downloads/mingw/ ... gwrt-3.17/

Turns out the library in question is part of that, not gcc, so 4.5 will probably work too.

There's still the issue of boost having been compiled with sjlj, you can either build boost yourself or grab boost 1.41 that koshi cross compiled http://springlobby.info/temp/boost.tgz Dunno how long that will be available for. here: http://www.springlobby.info/windows/dll ... dwarf2.tgz
