I'm no noob to VC++ 6.0... but I have not gotten Cube to compile correctly!

I put all of the includes and libs where they are supposed to be in the vc++ folder.

And added the right linking stuff... but I still get unresolved externals.

And why doesn't it include a VC++ workspace?

Does anyone have project/workspace project files they are wiling to send to me?

This would help out me, and a lot of other poeple... thanks!

#81: Right...

by Bascule on 05/14/2004 21:16

...I've cracked it now, having downloaded MinGW as well as MYSYS (arghvark, your HowTo could use a little more clarity).

So what can I do, easily, to make some obvious changes to Cube, but aren't too difficult for a complete coding newbie.

Obviously, jumping straight into the Cube source is not a good starting place to learn C++, but there must be stuff I can do that will make me feel like a real programmer?

I have re-instated a commented-out line that puts a trail on the CG bullets and that worked OK, so what sort of other things can I try...

Could you tell me what parts need clarified, I'm new to the whole writing howto's thing any input is of extreme help.

Comments on HowTo:

Just downloading mysys is not enough, MinGW is required as well.

Path setting section is good, I would have struggled to know how to do that in XP. Foe clarity, needs to state that the path is the make.exe.

It's a bit unclear exactly where the source.gcc folder should be placed, as you are mixing up fixed paths (...create the folder C:\mysys\mingw\bin) with relative ones (...or wherever you created x/y/z). This is what caught me out, as I didn't place the new bin folder in the right place in the folder structure.

It would be better when editing the .bat file to just say replace cube.exe with my_cube.exe, as people may have personalised their settings and nor want the ones you provided.

#84: Someone more knowledgeable and helpful too

by arghvark on 05/24/2004 00:26

I think someone who is more knowledge able then I am and helpful too, should post a mingw friendly version of the newest cube release's source code.

:)

-sigh-

Here you go:

http://www.webfile.ru/12034

Site is in Russian, but I hope you can figure it out that the gray link in the middle of the page is "Download" =)

This link will stay online for only a week, so I hope someone will mirror it by then.

This time it comes with a (sort of) instruction. Hope this will reduce the number of questions like "where do I unpack it?" and "why is there no 'bin' folder??" =) Well, at least now I will be able to reply with just "RTFM"...


P.S. Special thanks for this release goes to Mark "Fanatic" Pullen. Your maps are almost as good as
your music =)

#89: mingw

by me1.0 on 05/25/2004 21:20

I know just enough to really make a mess of things. Only progamming type experience was a fortran 77 class in college about 10 years ago. Followed directions for using mingw, but when I try to 'make' I get

make
g++ -Wall -03 -fsigned-char fomit-frame-pointer -I../include -c -o client.o client.cpp
make: g++: Command not found
make: *** [client.o]Error 127

I am hoping I am making some minor mistake. Any help would be much appreciated.

You need to setup the path.

set PATH=C:\mingw\bin;C:\msys\bin;%PATH%
make

Tried setting the path with the above command. Received the following message.

sh: c:mysysbin: command not found
sh: fg: %path%: no such job

I guess I am just a tard and need someone to spoon feed me through this.

You are not supposed to do it in sh. You are supposed to do it in Windows command prompt.

This is exactly the problem. Cube gets _statically_ linked to libGL. On my SUSE, the problem was that there was libGL.a and libGL.so.1 in /usr/lib, but no libGL.so. So, when you do -lGL, it links to libGL.a rather than libGL.so.1.

What you need to do is create a symbolic link in /usr/lib, libGL.so -> libGL.so.1, and recompile (I'd suggest doing "make clean" first, just in case). Works for me.

Thalion:
thx! I just installed a newer version of suse and there is now the libGL.so correctly symbolic linked.

It wasn't for me, for some reason, and I have the latest version (9.1). Oh well =)

You'r right, its not made by suse. It was the xorg that did the symbolic link.

same problem here. had to rename the sleep function and re-type socklen_t to get it to compile. now it compiles fine but then segfaults at the same place as yours (after init:gl)
