Compiling spring (mingw and visual studio 7/8)

maybe that's the problem, I may have built with a debug=no

monohouse · Post by **monohouse** » 11 Jan 2007, 15:21

THIS is the error I get when

scons configure cpppath=D:\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw3
2\4.2.0\include\c++ optimize=no debug=no

please keep this thread on topic

Clean build with mingw gcc 4.1.1 works fine here

Code: Select all

C:\taspring_trunk>scons configure debug=yes optimize=yes cpppath=C:\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.1.1\include\c++
C:\taspring_trunk>scons

yeha I think it does compile sorry about that, it appears that spring.exe compiles fine, the AI stuff are the ones that don't compile.

Tobi · Post by **Tobi** » 14 Jan 2007, 18:43

Michilus, which mingw/gcc version?

monohouse: strange. They do build fine here...

maybe it is possible to include spring-mingwlibs already inside the spring directory so that you could avoid errors like those, and have your own fixed version of the packages, which always match the version.

You mean in SVN? Hell no, there's enough bloat in it already. it really doesn't make sense to version generated data (ie. executables/dlls etc.) or external things, it just slows down development by increasingn the time for a checkout.

I checked btw, and it compiles fine here with a clean mingwlibs (v5), so that isn't the issue.

Having an issue trying to compile using scons, MingW gcc 3.4.2 (DevCpp)

Code: Select all

scons: building terminated because of errors.

Latest mingwlibs package, current SVN. (I have compiled previously, though that was a while back, ~0.72 iirc)

edit: nevermind, renamed libdevil.a to libIL.a and all goes smoothly

huh?=s

I installed codeblocks with the added in mingw32, then opened NTai from my old comp and tried to rebuild it and got this.

Tobi · Post by **Tobi** » 03 Feb 2007, 11:27

Do you have a cc1plus.exe in the path? If not, do you have a cc1plus.exe at all? If not, are you sure you installed the C++ compiler (and not just C)? (doesn't apply to all available mingw installers)

AF · Post by AF » 04 Feb 2007, 01:28

mingw5.13 installer doesnt install it either, nor does codeblocks. This is also true of codeblocks on XP, as lindir the green zipped his install up and his didnt have the file, nor does my old XP install have it, it seems to be a Windows Vista specific flaw.

This also happens if I try to convert the Visual studio 2003 project and compile it in 2005.

Tobi · Post by **Tobi** » 05 Feb 2007, 15:58

I don't see why it invents this __w64 pointer, I don't see any RandomState pointers in that file, definitely not in the default arguments...

Maybe I didn't look long enough tho.

Try commenting out the offending lines, it might just work since the functions there aren't used in Spring AFAIK.

AF · Post by AF » 05 Feb 2007, 18:47

I commented it out and it started compiling.

First of all it complained it couldnt find LIBC.lib so I told it to ignore that and now I get the following:

Code: Select all

I also had the same problem and it├óÔé¼Ôäós a bug in visual studio 2005 that makes it choke on template specialization with a reference as the default parameter.

Example:

Code: Select all

template<bool B>
void foo(const int& state = 5);


template<> 
void foo<true>(const int& state){}


int main(){
	foo<true>();//Compiler bug
	//foo<true>(5);//Workaround 
}

A workaround is to explicitly use DefaultRandomState instead of relying on the default value.

Patch:

Code: Select all

I'm getting errors about missing dsound.h. The scons configure finds dsound but during the compile it bails out at the sound system with "dsound.h not found".

I saw this note on the DirectX SDK download page:

If you encounter compilation issues related to the DirectX headers, make sure that the include directories in Visual Studio are set correctly. On the Win32 platform, make sure that there is a reference to the DirectX headers. Either "$(DXSDK_DIR)include" or "c:\program files\microsoft DirectX SDK (February 2007)\Include" should appear in the include directory "$(VCInstallDir)Include."

The place for these is in:

Tools
Options
Projects and Solutions
VC++ Directories
Include (drop down box)

Getting error about a missing CrashRpt.h file.

So I found the CrashRpt stuff in the b2 source, but the b3 source is missing that whole directory.
