Compiling spring (mingw and visual studio 7/8)

note for all users:: devc++ is old and as such comes with an old mingw32 so make sure its all kept upto date.

I've recently transferred over to a plain MingW build (and Code::Blocks, but i don't actually use that for Spring) and it's gone swimmingly. Updating devcpp can be a pain.

I recall seeing someone else have this error before...

Yeah, I'm having this error as well.

I skipped getting DevC++ entirely and just gotten mingw and everything else needed directly.

Looks like your boost version is wrong btw.

codeblocks nightly builds and netbeans just pwn devc++ hard now

KDR_11k · Post by **KDR_11k** » 25 Sep 2007, 14:39

Is there a way to get Boost without dealing with those three different build systems it needs?

rattle · Post by **rattle** » 25 Sep 2007, 14:58

Dunno, I built it myself back then (ending up with 1.5 GB of useless libs cause I'm stupid). I think I did, dunno it's quite some time ago.

KDR: check the buildbots, gcc >= 4.1 don't experience this.

uninstalled DevC++ as AF recommended, updated minGW to gcc 3.4.5, but it seems that problem is somewhere else. I still get "can't locate -lstreflop' message, although in the beginning it says 'Succes building streflop'

-Lrts\lib\streflop -Lmingwlibs\lib -LD:\MinGW\lib -lopengl32 -lglew32 -lglu32 -ldevil -lILU -lSDL -lSDLmain -lboost_regex-mt -lboost_thread-mt

try searching for streflop.a and rename it to libstreflop.a, may help.

also, gcc 3.4.5 was broken in a recent commit; not sure what is needed to fix it.

aash29 · Post by **aash29** » 26 Sep 2007, 19:00

thanks for swift answer, but looks like no streflop.a file is produced

a while ago Michilus_nimbus reported:

Michilus_nimbus wrote:Well, I got the streflop.a and libstreflop.a files from buildbot, so it works like a charm now.

is it possible to acquire it from buildbot?

imbaczek · Post by **imbaczek** » 26 Sep 2007, 19:34

Mine gets built in rts\lib\streflop\ and it works.

aash29 · Post by **aash29** » 26 Sep 2007, 20:57

right,
got mine at
http://www.osrts.info/~buildbot/spring/ ... streflop.a
and managed to compile at last
thanks

I'm getting this compile error:

Code: Select all

rts\Game\GameServer.cpp: In constructor `CGameServer::CGameServer(int, const std::string&, const std::string&, const std::string&, const std::string&)':
rts\Game\GameServer.cpp:94: error: call of overloaded `bind(void (CGameServer::*)(), CGameServer* const)' is ambiguous

scons: building terminated because of errors.

I can fix it by changing

Code: Select all

	thread = new boost::thread(boost::bind<void>(&CGameServer::UpdateLoop, this));

to

Code: Select all

thread = new boost::thread(boost::bind<void, CGameServer, CGameServer*>(&CGameServer::UpdateLoop, this));

Perhaps my boot libs are outdated?

Tobi · Post by **Tobi** » 06 Oct 2007, 08:49

No, it's because it's GCC 3.4.5.

But if that fix appears to compile on other GCCs I will commit it.

KDR_11k · Post by **KDR_11k** » 07 Oct 2007, 09:21

Installing GCC4 on Windows isn't exactly a trivial task, fixing this would be good.

Tobi · Post by **Tobi** » 07 Oct 2007, 12:02

Ya, it's fixed already (since yesterday morning or so, I cba to post everytime I fix something

)
