TORQUE 1.5.1 compilation OK on Ubuntu 7 after some fixes

by Philippe C · in Torque Game Engine · 04/09/2007 (2:14 pm) · 7 replies

The version 1.5.1 for windows could be compiled on LINUX but there is few issues to solve.

Below a summary of the update to do in the code.

-engine/gui/controls/guiTextEditCtrl.cc : fix the bug with type of variable

-engine/interior/fogCalc.h : replace FogCalc::FogCalc with FogCalc

-engine/interior/interior.h : replace TexMatrix::TexMatrix with TexMatrix

-engine/platformX86UNIX/x86UNIXFont.cc : comment the function GOldFont* createFont() {...}

-engine/targets.torque.mk :

--remove dgl/gNewFont.cc \

--add SOURCE.CONSTRUCTOR with constructor/constructorSimpleMesh.cc

--add util/triRayCheck.cpp to SOURCE.UTIL

Philippe:

The guiTextEditCtrl.cc fix is not quite right - you're casting a (const UTF16 *) to a (const char *) which is not the same thing. If you look in macCarbStrings.cc, you'll see a dStrcmp with the following declaration:

int dStrcmp( const UTF16 *str1, const UTF16 *str2)

Try copying that one into x86UNIXStrings.cc.

I try to cast with (const UTF16 *) but I got a compilation error


the only definition that I found for linux is in x86UNIXStrings.cc : 
S32 dStrcmp(const char *str1, const char *str2)
{
   return strcmp(str1, str2);   
}

It seems that there is different declaration depending on the platform

winStrings.cc
int dStrcmp(const char *str1, const char *str2)
{
   return strcmp(str1, str2);
}

int dStrcmp(const UTF16 *str1, const UTF16 *str2)
{
    return wcscmp(str1, str2);
}

macCarbStrings.cc
int dStrcmp(const char *str1, const char *str2)
{
   return strcmp(str1, str2);   
}

int dStrcmp( const UTF16 *str1, const UTF16 *str2)
{
   int ret;
   const UTF16 *a, *b;
   a = str1;
   b = str2;

   while( *a && *b && (ret = *a - *b) == 0)
      a++, b++;

   return ret;
}

:. TGE 1.5.1 (Window$ SDK version) compiled on Mandriva PowerPack 2007, also. Based on the above instructions. Many thanks. However, I've got a fatal error on loading some missions with heavy use of the lighting system. Is it same over there?

@Philippe: Copy the UTF16 version of dStrcmp() from macCarbStrings.cc into x86UNIXStrings.cc.
