Crosscompiling with tdragon's gcc

i setup cross-compilation on gentoo awhile back but it was a relatively complex setup. This looks a thousand times easier. Thanks for the heads up.

I also cross-compile with gentoo. All I had to do was

Code: Select all

 sudo crossdev i686-mingw32

That's all I had to do... in theory.

What happened in practice was the crossdev script failed and I had to screw around for hours trying different combinations of flags to get working and compatible binutils etc. When I was done with it all, Spring didn't build anyway (wrong gcc version).

I'm giving it another try now and already things look better. sudo crossdev -t i686-mingw32 has run without errors this time.

Now for Spring itself...

@imbaczek: Here are two shots of the terrible trees:


What that shot doesn't show you... is that when you get close enough, the foliage disappears, leaving you with stick-trees

Also, the version you compiled doesn't read my screen position (i.e., I have it set to fullscreen, it's windowed). Other than that, IDK what else is wrong, I've been too busy working on something else to test in detail.

[imbaczek]

windowed is because it's hardcoded somewhere in the debug build. everything else is... not my problem domain, except that it doesn't happen here. maybe somebody else will have an idea.

It's just weird, I haven't seen problems with the trees in quite awhile. Oh well, I quit using them in WorldBuilder ever since the Lua to CreateFeature() them into existence quit working and nobody bothered explaining why it was broken or offered a fix for ruining large swaths of work, so there won't be any Spring procedural trees in P.U.R.E. anyhow.

Trees are borked like that in the release versions depending on your system configuration and how your graphics card is set up. The implementation of trees in thsi engine is highly unreliable and inconsistent and has been ever since the engine was released. Infact ti has only gotten worse.

And I'm not talking about alt+tabbing while loading causing artefacts.
