windows vista compiling problems - muska54 - 01-14-2008
Hi all , I am using VDrift for a college project but am having trouble compiling in windows vista.
i am following the steps in the wiki for compiling and have working installations of mingw, MSYS, python, and scons.
when i run ./configure , this happens..
Bren@BRENDAN /c/newVDrift/bullet-2.64
$ ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
*this is the log file:
file C:\newVDrift\SConstruct,line 331:
Configure(confdir = .sconf_temp)
*SConstruct file:
#--------------------------#
# Check for Libs & Headers #
#--------------------------#
(line 331) conf = Configure(env)
for header in check_headers:
if not conf.CheckCXXHeader(header):
print 'You do not have the %s headers installed. Exiting.' % header
Exit(1)
i have set up minGW and msys correctly i believe. when installing msys, it wanted me to declare where minGW was installed and it picked it up fine.
any help would be great thank you.

Can you post the contents of /c/newVDrift/bullet-2.64/config.log?
But based on the ./configure output, it looks like mingw might not be installed properly. You could test it by making a simple C++ file called "test.cpp" and running
Code:
g++ test.cpp -o test- muska54 - 01-14-2008
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by bullet configure 2.64, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was
$ ./configure

configure: exit 77
it must be my install of the compiler though because i cant even compile a simple helloworld.cpp , i have the latest version of mingw so i dont understand.. ill keep on looking for a solution for that. maybe there is something i am missing
Thanks for taking a look

Make sure you have mingw *and* msys downloaded and installed in the same location (they come in separate packages).
- muska54 - 01-18-2008
for some reason the installation of mingw doesnt set paths automatically in vista... that was my problem solved.
however i now have a new problem when i run scons , i get this error:
![[Image: vdriftsconsul7.jpg]](http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/8857/vdriftsconsul7.jpg)
even though i have not touched stdio it works fine in XP but not here, im not really sure what would cause this. The output carries on like this with syntax errors and undeclared variables for stdlib.h and string.h
![[Image: vdriftscons2fy2.jpg]](http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/4285/vdriftscons2fy2.jpg)
has anybody else have this problem?
thanks

BinReloc is used for Linux + Autopackage only, it can be disabled on Windows, and the data directory should be hard coded. I thought we had some checks for that already, both in the SCons(struct|script) files and in the code in the forms of #ifdefs.
- joevenzon - 01-18-2008
Also, you want to run everything from the msys command prompt, not from cmd.exe
- muska54 - 01-20-2008
yeah i tried to run scons from msys but got a command not found error.
i have posted in the topic relating to this to see if the topic starter can tell me how they fixed it.
but if i want to disable the binreloc how would i go about this?
it compiles fine for me in XP
- thelusiv - 01-21-2008
This section of the SConstruct file (starting at line 365) should take care of turning off BinReloc:
Code:
if ( 'win32' == sys.platform or 'cygwin' == sys.platform ):
# -DWIN32 is already defined
env['use_binreloc'] = False
env['use_apbuild'] = False
env['data_directory'] = "./data"
env['settings'] = "VDrift"
cppdefines.append(("DATA_DIR", '"%s"' % env['data_directory']))It may be that this is getting ignored because sys.platform is something besides "win32" or "cygwin". Perhaps it should also check for "msys" or something like that? Again I haven't tried this at all. I do not have a Vista test machine. You could find out the value of sys.platform by running python within msys and typing "sys.platform" on the python console.
You can manually disable BinReloc in definitions.h, but you'll have to disable writing of definitions.h by scons (comment out the call to the write_definitions function in SConstruct on line 500), or your changes will be overwritten when you run scons.
- muska54 - 01-21-2008
ok thanks, what is the way to disable binreloc in the definitions.h file?
#ifndef _DEFINITIONS_H
#define _DEFINITIONS_H
#define SETTINGS_DIR ".vdrift"
#define DATA_DIR "./data"
#define DEBUG 1
#define VERSION "development-full"
#endif // _DEFINITIONS_H
where would the code go?
cheers
Brendan
- thelusiv - 01-21-2008
That looks right. When it gets turned on, then the following is added to the definitions.h:
Code:
#define ENABLE_BINRELOC
