spring & visual studio

[Super Mario]

Picasso did you manage to compile successfully?

No, but thats on a vm- in linux.
Havent really tried it under windows. Figured when you allready run in trouble abroad, you will be even more with boozeWind..

mmh.. oh wait, just realised that in source-tree i still have a repo..

Started cmake- errored out with

Code: Select all

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:118 (MESSAGE):
  MINGWLIBS 'D:/SpringDev/Spring/mingwlibs' is not a valid directory

Let me guess. it expects to find itself somewhere in freeUs root and doesent cope with it =(

Cmake is very nitpicky when it comes to names, be sure to name the mingwlibs EXACTLY as "mingwlibs" in the same folder as spring.

Yeah, I recommend doing a fresh checkout:

git co ...spring.git
cd spring
git co ..mingwlibs.git

run cmake, select C::B
Run C::B, compile spring (make sure target is engine-legacy, you dont need the rest)

git co ..mingwlibs.git

run cmake, select C::B

btw it requires git, when compiling spring with mingw, something that cmake needs to detect before generating a make file.

@ivand:

this question is unanswered:

did you follow the instructions from https://springrts.com/wiki/Building_Spr ... _.28v11.29 ?

its pretty unclear what toolchain you are using to (try) to compile spring.

Sure:

Code: Select all

set PATH=%PATH%;%PROGRAMFILES%\git\bin;%PROGRAMFILES%\cmake 2.8\bin\
git clone git://github.com/spring/spring.git
cd spring
git clone git://github.com/spring/vclibs11.git vclibs
cmake -G "Visual Studio 11" .

This requires a bit of changes to the first line, but for the rest the process is straightforward. I'm not even sure what could be done differently, so your question regarding toolchain is unclear for me.

to fix cmake imo vclibs must be updated. first of the folder structure has to be changed: all libs/includes has to be in a single directory like in mingwlibs and then the cmake code can be heavily cleaned up: a lot of code can be reused as detecting libs/headers is then the same as for mingwlibs.

Yeah probably, although I actually changed vclibs dir structure as you outlined locally when I was trying to "cmake" stuff. It didn't help much. I also tried to change CMakeLists.txt content, but yeah it requires some cmake knowledge.

can you create a pull request with the changed vclibs please? then i hopefully can help to cleanup CMakeLists.txt content.
