Building Oolite Windows from source - The Easier Way

[JensAyton]

Fixed in r4735.

[Gimi]

Went a bit further, but ended with the following this time:

Code: Select all

 Compiling file src/Core/NSFileManagerOOExtensions.m ...
src/Core/NSFileManagerOOExtensions.m: In function '-[NSFileManager(OOExtensions) oo:moveItemAtPath:toPath:]':
src/Core/NSFileManagerOOExtensions.m:201: error: 'dst' undeclared (first use in this function)
src/Core/NSFileManagerOOExtensions.m:201: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
src/Core/NSFileManagerOOExtensions.m:201: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[3]: *** [obj.spk/oolite.obj/NSFileManagerOOExtensions.m.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [internal-objc_program-all_] Error 2
make[1]: *** [oolite.all.objc-program.variables] Error 2
make: *** [internal-all] Error 2

[JensAyton]

Again with the fixed in r4736.

[Gimi]

Compile of r4736 completed with no errors, Oolite starts fine and no errors in latest.log.

Thank you for extremely fast bug fixing.

[JensAyton]

These were problems in the text of the code rather than the logic. It was more like proofreading than bug fixing. :-)

Regardless, the errors were fixed very quickly.

Got the following warning when compiling Rev4771 the "easy way".

Code: Select all

Compiling file src/Core/Materials/OODefaultShaderSynthesizer.m ...
src/Core/Materials/OODefaultShaderSynthesizer.m: In function '-[OODefaultShaderSynthesizer writeTextureCoordRead]':
src/Core/Materials/OODefaultShaderSynthesizer.m:728: warning: pointer type mismatch in conditional expression

[JensAyton]

Should be fixed in r4772.

[Gimi]

Should be fixed in r4772.

Yep, thanks. Quick as always.

Come across an oddity - when I've done an initial svn co and a make debug=0 build, and a few revisions later svn up which confirms an update, then do another make debug=0 build, the resulting oolite.exe when run reports in the log that it is still the previous build/revision.

Similarly a make -fmakefile pkg-win-snapshot debug=no over an existing build after an svn-up makes an installer that's file-name is for the expected revision, but when installed produces an oolite.exe with no watermark and the log again reports previous build/revision.

Just in case any others have this problem. The solution is to always use make -fmakefile clean when re-compiling after checking out a new revision.

Also if anyone is using Win7 64bit and wants to compile and build an installer please note that the makefile in trunk will need a slight edit to point it towards the the correct install location for NSIS under Win7 64bit.

The makefile includes a line - NSIS="C:\Program Files\NSIS\makensis.exe", which needs to be NSIS="C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\makensis.exe" under Win 7 64bit.

Hi!

This "compiler" pack : OoliteDevelopmentEnvironment_LE_20110212 working for me, thanks. (Tested on rev4936)

First time I try this: OoliteDevelopmentEnvironment_20090330 from Oolite-Windows wiki, but compile is unsuccess with this pack (I get compiler warnings). Perhaps good idea update this wiki page: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Running_Oolite-Windows

[another_commander]

The wiki pages for running and building Oolite under Windows have been updated.

I see, thank you.
