Compiling

I am attempting to write a new ai for glob 2.

What is the best way to compile this program, I am currently running XP with VC 2006. The source file apears to be VC 2003 and it doesnt convert well to 2006.

Should I install 2003 on my computer or would Linux or Unix be the OS of choice? I have access to those computers but would prefer to use my windows machine.

I know I sound like a newbie but how do I compile this thing?

unfortunately I don't know much about the windows setup

as far as I know all of the developers use Linux, and to make the windows binaries we use mingw

Ok I found a linux box.. How do I compile in Linux?

Also how do I run it after the compile? I am a Linux newb.

hi NoSpin

To work on globulation2 first thing you have to do is get the code from cvs.
Then to compile you will need some extra packages.
To check code back in you will need an account.

As I just got a new PC that is not yet set up to do all those tasks I will see if i can write down every single step i do to do changes to the code.
See next posting ...

look at http://globulation2.org/wiki/Download_a ... om_Sources
today at least more packages are available. so here i go for a new try:

as root:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install cvs libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libspeex-dev libboost-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev autoconf rsync

basically just do an apt-cache search missing-package on every missing something the following ./configure tells you about.

now do as user:

Code: Select all

cd ~
mkdir globulation_test_blablub
cd globulation_test_blablub
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/glob2 co glob2
cd glob2
./bootstrap
./configure
./syncdata
./syncmaps
make

(I still have a compile error. if you succeed, tell me what i was missing ;)

when you regularly play the cvs, it's good to have the following line in your bash history:
./syncdata && ./syncmaps && make

greetings, giszmo

Be aware you can use minGW on windows and this is what I use to compile a windows binary file.

That would be a much better way for me.... I just downloaded the program and i am now trying to do it that way... thanks

I am running through the Compiling from released source code walkthrough on this page
http://globulation2.org/wiki/Mingw_compilation

I ran the last command
./bootstrap && ./configure && make

and it told me I need to install autoconf. Where can I get autoconf at and how do I install it? Also were the previous walkthroughs supposed to install autoconf?

Thanks
Brett

"sh:apt-get: command not found"

If your using minGW on a windows box and you followed all the previous steps correctlyt then yes automake should have been installed automatically. If your using a linux box then you will need to install either through apt-get or yum depending on your distro.
