[Solved][CMake+Mingw] Compiling errors

[Viod]

I followed the wiki: http://springrts.com/wiki/Building_Spring_on_Windows

1) tdm-gcc-webdl installs GCC 4.7.0
With the 4.7 you have to update the boost libraries in mingwlibs in order to solve the BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS error.

Here you can find the fix. You need to update boost/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp

Code: Select all

#if defined(_GLIBCXX_HAVE_GTHR_DEFAULT) \
    || defined(_GLIBCXX_HAS_GTHREADS) \
    || defined(_GLIBCXX__PTHREADS) \
    || defined(WIN32)

2) I'm using CMake and the cloned master branch of Spring.
I tried GCC 4.7.0 but also 4.6.2. Errors are the same.
I have this error and I may need help:

I tried to add the CFLAG "-std=c++0x" and it gives a shitload of new errors, so I don't think the custom FLAG is a good solution:

Thx.

With VS2005, master branch throws the following:
Platform/Threading.h(42) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'uint32_t'

and

1>LobbyConnection.cpp
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\complex(177) : error C2039: 'atan2l' : is not a member of '`global namespace''

Zerver, got any ideas?

Tried with CMake again and the develop branch.

Same c++0x error with /Lua/LuaParser.cpp
So if I use the -std=c++0x FLAG I'm able to compile that file, but I have errors with all the other std:: functions that are not compatible with c++0x.

:/

With the 4.7 you have to update the boost libraries in mingwlibs in order to solve the BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS error.

You are not qualified to update the boost libs! It's NOT a simple copy files from here to there procedure.
When you got such a problem INFORM us, we will see if we can help you or update the libs. But NEVER start a thread with a non-saying "I can't compile at all.".

I'm qualified to update all I desire on my machine.
Btw I only suggested you a patch for libstdcpp3.hpp in order to use GCC 4.7.0
As a suggestion, you can choose to patch the file, update boost, keep the error, ban GCC 4.7.0 or solve in another way. It's up to you. I chose to mantain the original mingwlibs folder, using GCC 4.6.2

When you got such a problem INFORM us, we will see if we can help you or update the libs.

I'm INFORMing you.

But NEVER start a thread with a non-saying "I can't compile at all.".

I changed the title, hoping the problem is more clear now.



Beherith suggested me to use VS2005, so i tried with it, but after installing the vclibs, the Windows SDK and the DirectX SDK I had two errors (with the master branch):
1) Platform/Threading.h(42) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'uint32_t'

The boost header containing the definition of uint32_t is correctly linked and included in Threading.h, but I have this error and that's really odd.

2)1>LobbyConnection.cpp
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\complex(177) : error C2039: 'atan2l' : is not a member of '`global namespace''

I have errors everywhere there is a complex call. Even calling sqrt gives me error.

Btw I don't really like working with VS, so I think I'm going to try to set up an Ubuntu 32bit virtual machine (I'm working on Windows 7 Professional 64bit now), to try again. That's not a solution, but I hope it will work. If you have suggestion I'm here to follow them. Thank you for your time.

i think what jk refers to is, that the title suggests, that compiling fails by default, but it only fails cause you changed something on the default, recommended setup. so maybe that change should be mentioned in the title aswell.

Everything is on default.
I'm using the original mingwlibs with GCC 4.6.2

The use of an updated file of boost is only needed (IMHO) with GCC 4.7.0
You can try it yourself compiling with that version of GCC, which is installed by tdm-gcc-webdl. After solving the BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS error with the patched file as I said, the compiler gives me the c++0x error.

However I chose to use GCC 4.6.2, using mingw-get-inst and reverting back your mingwlibs folder (with the original boost/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp). It gives me the same c++0x error with FileFilter.cpp and now with LuaParser.cpp.
It's like someone is using c++0x functions in the code without mantain the compatibility, but I may be wrong.

Edit: Now it seems to work. I've compiled succesfully LuaParser.cpp but only with GCC 4.6.2
Let's see if it's going to finish.

Edit2: Compiled! The problem was that I'm a moron and I missed a semicolon in the System PATH variable of Windows. I was still using GCC 4.7.0
With 4.6.2 installed from www.mingw.org everything works fine!

Sorry for the time lost here and thank you again. ^^
