compile error on feisty fawn

[flockilan]

hi guys

i receive a compile error when trying to build ta3d. maybe you can help me. my environment is:

ubunty feisty fawn
gcc 4.1.2
ta3d 0.4.0
fmod 40625 (compiled from source)
allegro / gl 4.2.2 / 0.4.2 (compiled from source)


The steps that lead to the error are simple (error messages analogously translated from german ):

1. ./configure (did not complain about anything)
2. make

Code: Select all

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..     -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -ffast-math -mmmx -fomit-frame-pointer -MT gfx.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/gfx.Tpo -c -o gfx.o gfx.cpp
gfx.cpp: In constructor »TA3D::INTERFACES::GFX::GFX()«:
gfx.cpp:62: Error: »GFX_OPENGL_FULLSCREEN« undefined in this scope

What i did so far:

1. I tracked that switch to alleggl.h but did not get the point why the preprocessor would not have enabled it.

2. Then i examined the config.log in detail and found 2 warnings:

Code: Select all

I'm not familiar with C so i don't kow what (pre)compiler switches or libraries might be missing to have the fullscreen-switch defined.

It would be great if you have any ideas that help me.

hmmm that's a bug due to AllegroGL not being able to switch to full screen mode. It happens because AllegroGL can be built without the lib that allows it but TA3D requires it... I forgot to add a test in the code.

You'll need to install libxxf86vm-dev, then rebuild & reinstall AllegroGL.

[flockilan]

hi zuzuf, your advice was correct. now i get stuck at the real root of the problem.

1. I installed libxxf86vm-dev (and aptitude auto-added x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev).

2. configure in alleggl didnt complain and explicitly said

Code: Select all

checking for XF86VidModeQueryExtension in -lXxf86vm... yes

3. make stopped with several errors and warnings (again translated)

Code: Select all

gcc -o obj/unix/release/x.o -Iinclude -Iinclude/allegrogl -Iinclude/allegrogl/GLext -I/usr/local/include  -O2 -Wall -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -c src/x.c
src/x.c:458: Error: expected »)« before »*« token
src/x.c: In Function »allegro_gl_x_exit«:
src/x.c:519: Error: »struct _xwin_type« has no element named »mode_switched«
src/x.c:520: Warning: Implicit declaration of function »XF86VidModeLockModeSwitch«
src/x.c:521: Warnung: Warning: Implicit declaration of function »XF86VidModeSwitchToMode«

Followed by another 5 errors and 15 warnings in some other allegro_gl_x_... functions.

4. Then i installed xorg-dev and xserver-xorg-dev (with aptitude adding approx. 30 other dev packages) but nothing changed.


I will now start to scan the configure script to find other library names that might be missing.

But nevertheless if you know the solution by heart ... please let me know.

[zuzuf]

hmm, seems that rebuilding AllegroGL isn't enough, rebuild Allegro too.

[flockilan]

yes. thanx. it was as easy as that

now i just need to figure out why hpiview does not accept my ta1.iso mount as cd_path ... . but that's nothing for this topic.

[zuzuf]

hm strange, I will do some tests.

NB: hpiview/ta3d try to guess the cd path, but if you've mounted it yourself, make sure you give the path as parameter. ie : ./hpiview install /mnt/my_iso.
