Linux Settings Tool

I've also had some troubles compiling at first. As described earlier in this thread I tried to use the output from wx-config in the makefile, but didn't succeed. Scons on the other hand parsers this quite nicely. Maybe try the following SConstruct.
Be sure to have the 2.8 version of the wxwidgets dev-headers installed, earlier versions gave me compile errors.

thanks for that, it doesn't compile but it gets further along:

Code: Select all

Window* frame = new Window("Settings++", parser);

ah yes, forgot about those ones. I'm not really sure what the source is, maybe compiler version/ unicode vs. ansi build of wxwidgets. The solution however would be to wrap all string literals with the wxT() macro, but you're likely to run into problems after that. Well, I did.
However I've almost finished adapting Kloot's original source to use the engine's abstraction layer for config handling and I think I adressed most of the issues. If you're willing try to build from this source.
The mouse settings dialog is still a little screwed up, but otherwise it should be fine. Also this would give me the opportunity to see if it compiles on another machine. That would be a big help as I don't really have the time to do that myself.

It compiles flawlessly here ^_^

Cool usability idea:

Run glxinfo at the very start.

Warn the user if they don't seem to have opengl installed. Also grey out the checkboxes for things that require extensions that aren't present (eg 3D trees without vertex program)

[koshi]

Indeed.

I'll look into those ideas once I've finished the "porting" to windows.

If you don't know what I'm talking about take a look here.

UF is down, can you post a new link

koshi has long taken over its development and
distribution, see viewtopic.php?f=12&t=13128

Maybe it's meant above, but I suggest using the new lobby, it works very well and is fast
