ppl,

I'm trying to compile q-gears with cygwin.
It's not so hard as I imagined, but I have some quirks in the path...

Using the bootstrap script, I get the message below:

micaelis@aeris ~/progs/q-gears/trunk/projects/autotools
autoreconf-2.61: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf-2.61: configure.ac: not using Gettext

Makefile.am:3: required directory ./utils does not exist
src/common/Makefile.am: installing `build-aux/depcomp'
autoreconf-2.61: automake failed with exit status: 1

I've find the utils under the src directory, but even making a symlink to
it, he still complains about the Makefile.in file missing somewhere...

Can someone give me a hand with this? Need more info?

Regards,

Hello Micaelis!
I am recomposing entire autotools system and directory structure of the project.
Sorry, but yesterday I have changed relative include pathes to normal and don't update autotools yet.
I plan to do it today.
 
Alright! Should work now with updated SVN. run bootstrap from root q-gears directory and then standard GNU build procedure.
 
Do you mean Visual Studio Files?
I temporarily remove them because they were very outdated and nobody maintains them. You can add them to q-gears/projects if you want, or wait and I will add them later. I just wanted to restructure project files and to clean src directory.

Dumper is in the q-gears/src/utils/scriptdump

No. I mean the sourcetree has been mass-updated. Most of the files have been touched and therefore revised in one way or another. Why the sudden reorganazation?
 
Files was touched because I have changed lines #include "../../../something.h" to #include "something.h" but later that day we (me and Akari) decided to use includes of type:
#include "common/utilites/Logger.h" instead of #include "Logger.h" and #include "../../common/Logger.h". I shall change them today.
The sudden reorganization is because I like Makefile.am in every directory :) but Akari doesn't and also I like includes without ../../. And I made changes acceptable to both us (I moved all Makefiles.am to q-gears/projects/autotools and after running bootstrap Makefiles goes to proper places)
 
Thanks, G!  :-D

I'll get the sources from the svn again and will try to compile later.

If everything goes well, I'll post the guidelines, if someone is interested.  :wink:

Well folks, good news and bad news...  :|

The good news that now I'm able to compile q-gears under cygwin, thanks G!  :wink:

So, here comes the bad news...

I'm not able to complete the compiling. The follow error is ocurring:

Math.cpp: In function `float point_elevation(const Vector3&, const Vector3&, const Vector3&, const Vector3&)':
Math.cpp:14: error: expected primary-expression before "float"
Math.cpp:14: error: expected `;' before "float"
Math.cpp:15: error: expected primary-expression before "float"
Math.cpp:15: error: expected `;' before "float"
Math.cpp: In function `bool find_point_on_plane(Vector3&, const Vector3&, const Vector3&, const Vector3&, const Vector3&, const Vector3&)':
Math.cpp:99: error: expected primary-expression before "float"
Math.cpp:99: error: expected `;' before "float"
Math.cpp:100: error: expected primary-expression before "float"
Math.cpp:100: error: expected `;' before "float"
make[4]: *** [libfield_la-Math.lo] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/micaelis/progs/q-gears/trunk/src/ffvii/field'

And to start to compile this module I was forced to copy the Math.h to the folder.

In the code, the include is referencing to the default library, like "#include <Math.h>",
but seems the make can't find it... I even change the Makefile in the folder to add
the -I/usr/include, but the make can't find yet... Is a weird error and if anybody
knows what is happen, let me know.

This warning is occurring frequently during the compiling:

It's happen to show in several classes...

I've read in a cygwin-devel forum that the "error: expected primary-expression before "float"",
could be caused by a bug in the gcc 3.4.4 and under, but was fixed in the 3.4.5...

The Linux folks compiled the program with which gcc version? Nobody stumbled with
this error before?  :?

Well, until the gcc version of cygwin changes from 3.4.4 to 3.4.5 I think
it's not possible to have a cygwin binary of q-gears...  :roll:

Anyway I'll keep trying and I'll post the results. If anybody has any clues about the
problems above, let me know...

Cheers,
 
I am using gcc-4.1.2 (the last :) ), but in Dev-C++ gcc-3.4.2 and everything works fine.
Compiling under windows tested and works using MinGW, if you want to save time to compile this - download Dev-C++ and compile by it... Or I shall try to compile it using cygwin when I have time.

hmmm...

interesting thing - try this: clean project, rename q-gears/src/ffvii/field/Math.h to other name, for example to FieldMath.h and change reference in q-gears/projects/autotools/src/ffvii/field/Makefile.am and in every file which includes it, then run bootstrap again and try to compile! (maybe this sound a bit odd, but try)/ If everything will compile I'll most likely fix that issues
(little warning - copying files from q-gears/projects/autotools in bootstrap script isn't omit .svn directory, but it's not critical for those, who doesn't commit to repository, I will write good script in a near future :) to do this correctly)
