Another try under cygwin

pontiac · Post by **pontiac** » Thu Oct 02, 2003 8:28 pm

So i finally retried to make vegastrike under cygwin (i don't know why i'm still trying it and even why i do it at all..)
The scrambled Makfile.am in src isn't helping too

Here are the errors i got:

http://members.chello.at/stefbuer/vegas ... config.log
http://members.chello.at/stefbuer/vegas ... stderr.txt
http://members.chello.at/stefbuer/vegas ... stdout.txt

and it did complain about a missing config.h.in file ... where should be such a file?

Can somebody help me?

autoheader
automake -a
autoconf
./configure

Ok, I tried to compile VS under Cygwin today and was pretty much succesful except that I forgot to disable sound... and I don't have OpenAL.
So I couldn't get VS to link but every file was compiled.

I fixed 3 or 4 compilation errors and now it should be ok again in CVS.

The autoheader, automake... stuff is important to do. I had no error at all in the makefiles.

Did you ever tried to compile with sound/OpenAL support ?
I think I'll try to compile libcrypto++ under cygwin soon to make sure it'll work. that lib will enable features in networking that someday might become important.

Thanks for the answers.
I'm currently updating cvs-source and will report my results here.

didn't know that one .. will try soon after updating cvs-source.
So if it is supposed to be run under cygwin i will update the wiki to so it will look like this:

Code: Select all

cd ./vegastrike
 make clean    # optional, ... ???
 aclocal
 autoheader
 autoconf
 automake --add-missing
 ./configure ...........

automake -a
autoconf

Just curious: Is there a difference when running the commands in this order? :

Code: Select all

autoconf
automake -a

i tried it once in the beginning and it was the only thing preventing me to compile the complete thing.
And since i don't really need sound to play i just turned it off

PS: just to make this complete...my procedure in my first post was like this:

Code: Select all

aclocal
autoconf
automake -a
$ ./configure --enable-debug --enable-nosdl --enable-nogtk --with-gl-lib-name=opengl32 --with-glu-lib-name=glu32 --with-png-inc=/usr/include/libpng12 --disable-sound --enable-boost-128 --disable-sdl
make -k 2>make_stderr.txt >make_stdout.txt

not autoheader there, though

i just found out i did accidently upgrade to python version 2.3.x.
But now i cant downgrade again to 2.2.
The package is on the server, but the installer don't list it.
Is there a way to install it manually or to make the installer see/use it?

PS: WHOOT ..many many thanks for makefile.am fixes

Sorry, I'm what we could consider as a novice with cygwin

I can't help on that. I wish I could.

Just figured it out

I solved the python issue by making a local install directory put the python2.2.x files in it and edited the setup.ini file to matxh the files.
If somebody needs it too just mail me.

So after installing phyton 2.2.x I went through the procedure:

Code: Select all

aclocal
autoheader
automake -a
autoconf
./configure --enable-debug --enable-nosdl --enable-nogtk --with-gl-lib-name=opengl32 --with-glu-lib-name=glu32 --with-png-inc=/usr/include/libpng12 --disable-sound --enable-boost-128 --disable-sdl
 make -k 2>make_stderr.txt >make_stdout.txt

Unfortunately i still get errors:

Code: Select all

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
.infig.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile

http://members.chello.at/stefbuer/vegas ... config.log
http://members.chello.at/stefbuer/vegas ... stderr.txt
http://members.chello.at/stefbuer/vegas ... stdout.txt

PS: is it possible to include a configure parameter or something for the

Code: Select all

 -lXi -lXmu

switches in configure.in?

I still have to remove them everytime i update (and overwrite) the cvs-source.
Though if thios isn't possible i have to live with it i think

I'll take a look at this -lXi -lXmu thing.
Since I have X-Window installed on my cygwin box I never had that problem.

Actually i have XFree8 installed (startx runs quite fine). But configure don't fine it.

What files is configure looking for. The only files i found related to this is libXi.dll, cygXmuu-1.dll and libXmuu.dll.
Maybe there should be more.
I even reinstalled x a few times, didn't make a difference.
