Description

This AI interface is written in C++ and allows spring to load AIs written in C and C++. Thes AIs may be compiled with any compiler, as long as they export some C functions in the correct way (see {spring_source}/AI/Skirmish/NullAI/AIExport.h for reference).

If you plan to write your own AI interface library, it is recommended to use this one as a template, or at least for reference ({spring_source}/AI/Interfaces/C/), and possibly the Java one.

Used By

AI Interface Wrappers

• Legacy C++ Wrapper DEPRECATED
• (New) C++ Wrapper alpha

• None

Please report bugs under Mantis to the AI subproject.

How to compile

The easy way
Use Scons or CMake (refer to Building spring).

The hard way

• include directories:
  • {spring_source}/rts/System
  • {spring_source}/AI/Wrappers/CUtils
  • {spring_source}/AI/Interfaces/C
• source files:
  • {spring_source}/AI/Interfaces/C/*.c*
• create dynamic loadable shared library (module)
• should compile with all C++ compilers (tested with: MinGW, GCC, Intel)

tested under Linux32 and Win32

How to install

from: {spring_source}/AI/Interfaces/C/
to: {spring_data_dir}/AI/Interfaces/C/{C-AIInterface-version}/

• copy lib*.so, lib*.dylib or *.dll to ./
• copy data/* to ./
