Compiling mapconv

[Maelstrom]

Im trying to compile mapconv, to see if I can fix some of the bugs, but I cant work out how to complie the thing. I downloaded the full SVN repository, but when ever I try and compile it, it brings up a million errors

At first it was complaining about being unable to find any of the #include <tclap/file.h> files. I fixed that (I think) by changing them to #include "file.h", and renaming the tclap-1.0.5/ directory to tclap. But then, it complained about being unable to #include <IL/il.h>. This time, there isn't a IL directory at all


I am new to this compiling thing, Ive only done small, single file programs before, so its quite possible I am missing something trivially small. Any one got any idea whats going on? Or where to find all the files I seem to be missing?

Im using Bloodshed Dev C++ compiler.

Thanks

IL stuff is the devil library

Where could I find it? Would it be somewhere in the spring source, or do I have to download it from somewhere?

You can find these dependencies in the spring mingwlibs package (it's on UF). Note though that the mapconv buildsystem hasn't been maintained much so I have no clue whether paths to e.g. IL are set up correctly.

Ah thanks, that had everything I needed. Now to work out whats happening with all these other errors...

Code: Select all

Bitmap.o(.text+0xbff):Bitmap.cpp: undefined reference to `ilGenImages@8'
Bitmap.o(.text+0xc0d):Bitmap.cpp: undefined reference to `ilBindImage@4'
Bitmap.o(.text+0xc50):Bitmap.cpp: undefined reference to `ilTexImage@28'

Now im getting lots of errors like that. Any ideas?

You are not linking to IL (DevIL)?

[Maelstrom]

How does one link to stuff? As I said, im new to this
