Does ‘make’ failing count as a ‘regression’?
Had no problems building 1.2.6.

Do you have a specific error message?

Thanks,

Great news…

I still can’t build the dll in this new version with eMbedded Visual C (
WinCE platform )
error C2039: ‘GL_pfd’ : is not a member of ‘SDL_PrivateGLData’

The compiler try to compil all instructions even those for X11…

It does not ignore the openGl preprocessor line…

It runs like not compiled for my platform.

I Dunno why…In the setting there are preprocessor lines but they
seems not to work…

The file SDL_main.c for win32 platform contains all #define needded for
a good compilation but i can’t get all that compil right.

If someone suceed or have time to help me i would be very gratefull.

I’m a new coder under WinCE platform and i code quite a lot under GP32
platform. That surely explains my low level skills

Regards

Pekele

Ps : thank you for your work

Can’t locate object method “path” via package “Autom4te::Request” at
/usr/local/bin/autom4te line 81.
make: *** [configure] Error 1

I have no idea what the above error means. Can you shed some light on it?

Thanks,

RE:[SDL] CVS Update (January 4, 2003)

What’s the SDL install taking lessons from physfs now?
What ever happened to the good old “MAKEFILE” that you can use with MAKE.EXE?
I’m using mingw and also cannot build now (same for physfs…)
if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it!

It was broke. It didn’t work with the latest version of msys (mingw)

What version of mingw are you using, and what errors are you getting?

Hey, now.

I’m using mingw and also cannot build now (same for physfs…)
if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it!

Try running this:

aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal
autoheader
libtoolize -c --automake
automake --add-missing --copy --include-deps
autoconf
./configure
make

PhysicsFS doesn’t build a shared library on Cygwin or MingW by default,
because the packaged configure script was built with an autoconf version
that has Win32 bugs. The above commands will regenerate the configure
script using the win32-friendly autoconf that should be on your system
already.

This will probably fix SDL for you, too.

Also, read this if your error involves a “bad reloc address” message:

"Try running this:
aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal
./configure "

OK should that come from some sort of script? Batchfile?
I’m using mingw 3.2.3 on Win98, which barfs at this saying “bad command or
filename”… I have a current cygwin for windows, but I created my own usr\bin
directory… (is this my mistake?)

So far I’ve been writing my own makefile since the auto-junk won’t run.
Despite this I’ve built physfs as both static’s and dll’s with varying
degrees of archive support. Ryan say the word if you want details of how I built
without autoconfig…
( By the way - it works amazingly with SDL_RWops! )

CVS-SDL I still have to wrestle with, but I admit I haven’t tried too hard.
(been busy with physfs…among other things…)
