Problems from Guide

Hah I looked through my code and figured out what I really did.  Go to line 108 in items.h and make sure the word "extern" is in front of the line.  The line should look like:

 

extern inline GLuint get_items_texture(int no);

 

Then it compiles great.

i made the change, but it's still not happy, still have those unresolved symbols

Hmm that is strange. Is it still the same unresolved symbol? Try changing line 94 in items.c and add an extern to there too. So it looks like:

 

extern inline GLuint get_items_texture(int no)

 

Then go to Build -> Clean Solution to remove all the partially built files and try to build the solution again.

[ttlanhil]

no change, it resulted in this log, which looks pretty similar

[Malaclypse]

No, the lib in front and .a/.la/.so/... (what else?) at the end are automatically added. It's libSDL, libALut, libiconv as well for instance. I was confused by that as well in the beginning, but well. Isn't it nice not having to type the characters 'lib' all over again

This is only true for *nix systems. On windows it's SDL.dll and SDL_net.dll (or SDL.lib for static libraries) but the xml library is called libxml2.dll instead of only xml2.dll, thus not following the usual windows naming convention, so lostboy should be right.

 

@lostboy: The uuid.lib library is part of windows. If the compiler doesn't find it, there's something wrong with either your windows or your compiler installation.

 

@ttlanhil: May it be that the VS compiler has some problems with inline code? Have you checked your options whether there's some way to tweak the handling of inline functions? A construction like

extern inline <func-name>

doesn't sound good at all to me, although I'm not absolutely sure on the C semantics of this construction.

the only thing i saw was config->c/c++ ->optimisation -> inline function expansion, which seems to give no effect when changed (doesn't fix the problem, anyway)

 

thanks to all helping, this thing is annoying!

The error you are getting now is different (extern must have cleared up the other) and is similar to a previous one had with game_root_win. Try adding all the .c and .h files to your project again (minus cal3d ones) since it looks like a few of them aren't in there. Once you get all the files added click File -> Save All so you won't have to keep adding files to the project.

Can you say more about uuid lib. I don't find help with google...

the only file in my HD with 'uuid' is c:\dev-cpp\lib\libuuid.a

[Malaclypse]

Can you say more about uuid lib. I don't find help with google...the only file in my HD with 'uuid' is c:\dev-cpp\lib\libuuid.a

I'm sorry, can't help you further here. I searched MSDN, but got a bunch of search results for uuid.lib, most of which were unrelated to your problem. I only knew from prior experience in using VS it's a standard library which is linked to any WIN32 application. Have you searched your VS documentation? IIRC VS comes with much documentation and this docu is not the worst one to use.

[Lachesis]

Thanks a bunch, Malaclypse, finally there's someone with Windows knowledge that helps out with this. These telediagnosis attempts of mine were beginning to turn me into a nervous monster. I hope there will be the day when it's possible to use a common build environment pre-installed on all platforms. It's staggering -- though actually not surprising -- how many problems you get when trying to use the UNIX-like build tools on Windows. If only it would come with a good own toolkit.

Thank you muchly! it finally compiled, wahoo!

[lostboy_fr]

hum i find the correct lib name and the project compile et link.

but i'm enter in hell:

i put de el.exe in EL directory (el.exe want 2 more DLL, i give it)

and i run it, after it ask me my login and password, EL bug and shutdown

 

to compile i must use : -DNO_MUSIC

have idea where the bug come from ?

Did you copy the actor_defs folder to your eternal lands game folder? It seems like some of the steps I wrote for the Visual Studio.NET were applicable to Dev-C++ also.

i add it and no change

 

if i update all .DLL of EL with the DLL of DevCPP

i have a message EL cannot be initialised correctly (something like that)

[lostboy_fr]

i update the line of CXXFLAGS like that and all is ok now

 

CXXFLAGS = $(CXXINCS) -DWINDOWS -D_WIN32 -Wall -DELC -DNO_MUSIC -DWINDOW_CHAT -O

 

 

until the next problem ;-)

[Jimik]

I tried to compile the source with the makefile.win, I received a host of errors. I opted instead to add my own parameter's to DevCPP as instructed by the guide. From there os_types.h was trying to load _G_config.h, however could not find it. Has anyone else had the same problem with os_types trying to find _G_config.h?

 

I was able to compile with no errors by removing all sound from the code, and creating my own makefile. The compiled program will work with an updated .dll, and zlib.dll. Well, just beyond the point of logging in anyways Then it crashes with a segmented fault error (Windows XP issues the error message). Debugging shows the problem within actors_scripts.c :

 

numFrames=actors_list->body_parts->head->numFrames;

 

 

My goofing with the code is no doubt to blame for this ;P. I am sure there would have been a lot easier way to fix this, however I am new to programming.

 

Another thing, when I tried to download the packages from DevCPP's updater I could not find most of them from either of the mirriors. I manually downloaded them to desktop, and distributed the files in the proper directories(I hope). I never received a message about missing files, other than the _G_config.h. When I tried to have DevCPP's package manager distribute the zip files I downloaded , all of the directories were incorrect.. It was a mess.

[Wytter]

Try compiling it with -mwindows and see if it still complains about _G_config.h.

I gave it another shot, with the parameter as follows:

Linker:

-mwindows -lSDL -lopengl32 -llibxml2 -lSDL_net -lALut -lOpenAL32 -lvorbisfile -liberty C:\Dev-Cpp\lib\iconv.lib

 

I also downloaded a fresh install from cvs. Alas, I still get the same error message I left most of it out. I believe what I have pasted here is the most important information though.

Ok, without deleting all of the sound references I was able to compile the program.. What I had to do was this:

 

1. Add parameters to linker, and compiler as per guide

 

2. In os_types.h

Change

# ifndef __GNUC__

to

# ifndef GNUC

*edit, despite what I rename it to, it works. (Still learning)

 

3. Remove a lot of #include <math.h> from various .c files

draw_scene.c

lights.c

reflection.c

 

Exactly why this worked.. No clue.. I was just chasing the errors devcpp gave out and now it seems to compile.. except for three issues

 

After Compiling I get the following message:

Warning: .drectve `-defaultlib:uuid.lib ' unrecognized

Warning: .drectve `-defaultlib:uuid.lib ' unrecognized

 

Execution terminated

 

 

And also, when I copied my compiled .exe file to my /eternal lands directory it still crashes after login. I will see where my character is to be placed on the map, it displays as a white cloud.. And I hear the music looping at the first sound note.. I think this may be due to outdated dll files.. I will explore this futher later.

 

And last, in the character generation screen, the front profile, and back picture of the character to be, is missing in the place they should be are grey boxes. I can however create a new character, upon submitting the request however.. The client crashes as per above reasons.

 

**Update**

 

I changed os_types.h as follows:

 

# ifndef __GNUC__

/* MSVC/Borland */

typedef __int64 ogg_int64_t;

typedef __int32 ogg_int32_t;

typedef unsigned __int32 ogg_uint32_t;

typedef __int16 ogg_int16_t;

typedef unsigned __int16 ogg_uint16_t;

# elif defined(__CYGWIN__)

/* Cygwin */

#include <_G_config.h>

typedef _G_int64_t ogg_int64_t;

typedef _G_int32_t ogg_int32_t;

typedef _G_uint32_t ogg_uint32_t;

typedef _G_int16_t ogg_int16_t;

typedef _G_uint16_t ogg_uint16_t;

# elif defined(__MINGW32__)

typedef __int64 ogg_int64_t;

typedef __int32 ogg_int32_tgfd;

typedef unsigned __int32 ogg_uint32_t;

typedef __int16 ogg_int16_t;

typedef unsigned __int16 ogg_uint16_t;

 

# endif

 

Same results as above.. Am I going in the right direction with this? I am thinking that os_types.h has to be changed in some way.. Was this necissary for compiling Eternal Lands?

That warning doesn't seem to affect anything. You should still get a working exe file.

Are you sure you read the entire guide? At the bottom of the guide is the very important step of copying a folder to your EL directory called actor_defs. The game will crash without it.

 

The rest of the code should compile as is with very little modifications. Using Dev-C++ I was able to compile it without changing a single line from the CVS source. Visual Studio was a different story.

No I did not do the last bit.... Ok it compiled and now runs.. Thank you Ryldnozz. Hehe, I got caught up in thinking the dll files were not the correct version, and never went back to the guide for further information.. I still had to make the changes to the os_types.h though.

Uh.... The thing with math.h has been fixed in the cvs. And that problem you mentioned should only have occurred if you were using the cygwin gcc with the Dev-Cpp includes.

I'm builing under a fresh install of DevCPP, and just downloaded the latest CVS. I also replaced the os_types.h file with the original one from the zipped file.

 

I still receive the error message that _G_config.h is not found.. I have no clue why cygwin is being selected. I am going to install DevCPP on another xp box and installl all fresh files. I am sure it will probably work.

 

The only thing I can think of (Which is not saying much, because I am new with programming in general) is:

 

In the code:

#ifdef _WIN32

 

#  ifndef __GNUC__

  /* MSVC/Borland */

  typedef __int64 ogg_int64_t;

  typedef __int32 ogg_int32_t;

  typedef unsigned __int32 ogg_uint32_t;

  typedef __int16 ogg_int16_t;

  typedef unsigned __int16 ogg_uint16_t;

#  else

  /* Cygwin */

  #include <_G_config.h>

  typedef _G_int64_t ogg_int64_t;

  typedef _G_int32_t ogg_int32_t;

  typedef _G_uint32_t ogg_uint32_t;

  typedef _G_int16_t ogg_int16_t;

  typedef _G_uint16_t ogg_uint16_t;

#  endif

WIN32 has been defined, and __GNUC__ has also been defined. If I comment out all of the Cygwin code I get a bunch of errors. And if I change ifndef __GNUC__ to ifdef __GNUC__ it works

or by adding a

# elif defined(__MINGW32__)

it works.

 

Since it compiles on other machines using DevCPP there is no doubt something is wrong on my setup. I need to snoop around my files and see what I have done.. Regardless I am learning a lot from my mistakes:)
