JohnnyC, if I were you, I would start with the Linux port, I think it would be much less trouble than trying to recompile everything with a new compiler (even if the code is pretty standard).

Ok.
I've got Gentoo Linux with KDE on my pc (along side XP), If i download the source, can i just use Gcc in a console to compile the entire rts? If so:- What do i do? (what switches, files etc. etc. etc.)
- In detail plaese -

Thanks.

ok, i don't wana sound stupid but i just went on the linux source website and am i right in thinking i have to individual click everysingle .cpp & .h file to download it? (is there a 'downlaod all' button somwhere? :>)

Sorry if you misunderstood everyone, but it does NOT yet work under Linux; we, at this point, have just ifdef'd or removed non-standard constructs.

It is a Subversion repository, look for a subversion client for windows (sorry, I don't know one).

I think I've already got the Client installed... (I'm not sure though)... (what does it actually do??)

I'll tell you what i CAN do...
currently i can go on the sourcecode website and view all the files and download them by selecting them. This is great only I have to click everysingle .cpp and .h file to donwload the entire source... (not exactly easy when there is like loads of em).

Does the client allow me to downlaod them all in one big download?
(if not, any chance the person whome is hosting the source could stick it in a Tar / Rar / Zip etc. ?

)

As a subversion client i can recommended TortoiseSVN: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
It neatly integrates with Windows Explorer ... jay.

To obtain every file of the linux version (in svn language, do a export of the repository) you have to do the following: once you got tortoise installed, create an empty folder on your harddisk, rightclick on it, go to the tortoiseSVN tab, and select export. For the url of the repository, fill in

Code: Select all

https://lolut.utbm.info/svn/taspring_linux/trunk/rts/

And click ok. The download should begin, and you'll have all the files in no-time.

hello, I've tried it in DEV C++ but that gets lots of errors (lots and lots and lots 100's+) so i tried it in Borland Builder 5 and it works a bit better.

I've fixed quite allot but i'm left with this collection which are a bit confusing:

As you can see they are all Linker Errors with 'Unresolved external refrences"... Like I know what that means! :p

so does anyone have a suggestion and/or know whats an 'Unresolved External Refrence' is??

Your linker isn't automatically including all .obj files?

What did you have change? I don't want to move far away from still being compilable in windows.

Jonny C · Post by **Jonny C** » 17 Jun 2005, 17:28

there were a few things which i just commenetded out (this such as "on error return 0") i was kinda lucky cos the stuff i commented out isn't that important unless an error occurs... lol, but i still couldn't get it to compile.

Has nobody got a version of the sourcecode that will succesfully compile in either the free "Dev C++" or "Borland C++ 5" ?

i use both and i can't get it to compile in either

please help me somone !

Yes, I hope.
...

Since the Spring team is actively working (changing) on the original code, does that mean that the porting team is working on a diferent (outdated) code? And does that also mean that, when you finish, the outcome of the port will be a diferent code than the Spring code?

If so, something sounds wrong to me.

Jonny C · Post by **Jonny C** » 18 Jun 2005, 19:24

lol, thats exactly what i was thinking... :p
what version is the linux one?

Relax, take a deep breath, count to 10, and read this part of the Subversion book. You'll find that version control is pretty cool.

Actually, would it be possible to compile it under Code::Blocks + Microsoft Visual C++ Free Toolkit 2003, which are both freely available ?

Post by **jcnossen** » 17 Jul 2005, 15:55

The free toolkit has a lot of missing headers though, also be aware of files that are in the code but shouldn't be compiled, such as Aircraft.cpp.
However, it should be possible to compile.

I think if you download the Windows Plateform SDK it should be ok.

AF · Post by AF » 18 Jul 2005, 16:17

A very large and unwieldy download package that si might I say. Not to be attempted if you onyl ahve an hour or two.

I almost managed to compile with C::B & VC++ Toolkit.

I have a problem with dsound.h [ seems that i have to D/L the DirectX SDK

] that i bypassed with undefing USE_DSOUND.

I still have many errors about not finding a good template for std::max() like :

Code: Select all

Builder.cpp(290) : error C2782: 'const _Ty &std::max(const _Ty &,const _Ty &)' : template parameter '_Ty' is ambiguous

Wrapping the 2 members into a float() constructor does shut the compiler up, but i don't know if it's a good solution.
