Compiling spring (mingw and visual studio 7/8)

[imbaczek]

I'd say that understanding boost errors isn't any easier than installing gcc ^^ glad somebody figured it out.

[hoijui]

hello,
trying to compile spring with mingw on windows:
i used the instructions in the first post of this thread.
when i run scons configure, i get the following:

Code: Select all

scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Now configuring.  If something fails, consult `config.log' for details.

Detected platform : windows
Checking gcc version...AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group':
  File "SConstruct", line 31:
    env = Environment(tools = ['mingw', 'rts'], toolpath = ['.', 'rts/build/scons'])
  File "P:\Python24\scons\SCons\Environment.py", line 266:
    apply_tools(self, tools, toolpath)
  File "P:\Python24\scons\SCons\Environment.py", line 122:

  File "rts/build/scons\rts.py", line 186:

  File "rts/build/scons\config.py", line 39:
    version = re.search('[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]', version).group()

as i never used phyton so far, i am pretty slow trying to find out whats wrong.
is it possible that one needs phyton 2.5 (aswell)?
(cause i saw that it is somehow needed when compiling on linux with mingw)

Edit: same thing happens with phyton 2.5

[imbaczek]

do you have gcc installed and on PATH? it seems that you might not, or it's broken.

either way this needs fixing.

[hoijui]

it is on my path (when i run gcc or g++ i get "No input files").
...i got it!
gcc --version returns 2.95.2 for me (is the version of Dev-C++ linked to in the first post of this thread, and seems to be quite the latest).
so the regex

Code: Select all

'[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]'

cant find 2.95.2 obviously.
When i use

Code: Select all

'[0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]\.[0-9]'

it works.
i dont know how the pyhton regex works, but i guess it would be good to use something like

Code: Select all

'[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'

@tobi
I read you are the editor of rts/build/scons/config.py.
could you please adjust the regex on line 39 to accept gcc versions like 2.95.2 aswell? or whould i do a patch and submit to mantis?

..now i get further, but scons configure still doesn't get to a successfull end.
it now gets this far:

Code: Select all

the log file (config.log) shows the errors, i shortened it a bit (lines consisting of only "...")

if i use the same compile commands but without

Code: Select all

-fsingle-precision-constant
-frounding-math
-fsignaling-nans
-mfpmath=387

, then the ones failing with "Error 1" in the config file, work.
gl.h is taken from C:/Dev-C++/Include/GL/gl.h.
the line 1135, which contains the first syntax error as seen above, looks like this:

Code: Select all

WINGDIAPI void APIENTRY glAccum (GLenum op, GLfloat value);

the others containing syntax errors look similar.

any ideas?

[FLOZi]

You should just update your gcc. There are other issues with old versions anyway.

[hoijui]

..aehmm...
sorry! :/
yeah.. i used an old version of Dev-C++ (dont know how i managed to do that but i did)
problem solved
sorry again!

[rattle]

Streflop didn't build here because of

status = os.system("make " + cmd)

It's because make isn't recognized as the mingw tool is called mingw32-make in older releases.


edit: Okay, old bug is old, sorry.

After installing msys and adding the path to it's bin folder to %PATH% I managed to build streflop finally. Make basically needs rm to function properly which comes with msys. Comes with make too, but I used a batch file as workaround (@mingw32-make %*).

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe

I was using a candidate install of the MinGW 5.1.3 package.

Code: Select all

rts\rendering\gl\mygl.h(7) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'GL/glew.h': No such file or directory

Why on earth do I need openGL stuff to compile an AI in svn? NTai does not use glew, and I cant figure out where the spring headers are #include ing mygl.h

[rattle]

rts/Game/PreGame.cpp, rts/Game/GameSetup.cpp?

[AF]

Theyre not a part of the AI spring headers. They arent included in any I projects either.

I am not getting this error from compiling spring (although I might do if I tried), I am getting it from compiling NTai. I had not changed NTai between the last time I got it to compile and when I did an svn checkout and compiled a few minutes ago.

[rattle]

AICallback.cpp

#include "Game/Camera.h"

Camera.h

#include "Rendering/GL/myGL.h"

I assume AI callbacks are being included by you... though someone with some more knowledge should investigate this.

[AF]

IAICalback.h is included.

Found it!

#include "Rendering/GL/myGL.h"
line 8 of unitdef.h, wtf is something like that doing in there?!

...

Code: Select all

GLuint unitimage; // don't read this directly use CUnitDefHandler::GetUnitImage instead

erm maybe this should be stored somewhere else? I'm not so sure this should belong here regardless of wether its an OpenGL type.

Ontop of that its type might differ between Operating systems and implementations, could that cause hash issues and thus sync issues? I'm not quite sure how the sync setup works but if things are of different data types... That and this is a class hat should be synced, having machine specific values should go in an unsynced class structure.

[KDR_11k]

A GLunit stores a texture index (for example). Where else would you store that?

[AF]

Well its unsynced data in a class that was created to store synced data.

And if you haven't noticed it completely and utterly breaks AIs. AIs do not use Open GL. They have no need for Open GL headers. This needs correcting immediately.

If there is no alternative storage class then create one.

[AF]

So am I going to have to start using glew as a dependency for NTai?!?!?!? pfft, this is stupid. No wonder people complain springs source is like spaghetti

[Tobi]

mingwlibs package updated

[Tobi]

updated again, boost 1.34, added wx, downgraded freetype

[zyzy]

i am noob in compiling spring, not in games BA, AA

On windows with mingw
is it normal that i have to copy scons.bat from C:\Python25\Scripts to C:\Python25\ ???
Is it because last version of python?
thx,

There is a lot of link in JC post are not updated.
Is possible to move the post to wiki like developpements links thread?
Then it could be upgraded from everyones.

need to have link to versions without focus on a version.
I hope Spring follow the tools versions.

Just a suggest.

[Tobi]

Yeah, I was going to do that.

So here it is:
http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/Source_D ... nvironment

Rewritten/merged/updated/combined etc.
