scons wrapper - src/vdrift.i is static and is...

[Baer]

Hi v-drifters,
I am trying to get the "PyGTK Track Editor" woking. According to the README in the svn repository you've to do a

Code:

scons wrapper

Unfortunaltely, this ends up with an error on my machine.

Code:

scons: *** Source file: src/vdrift.i is static and is not compatible with shared target: build/_vdrift.so
scons: building terminated because of errors.

I made sure to have the latest repository...

Do I have to check out a branch or something...?

[joevenzon]

The VDrift source code was recently rewritten, and because the wrapper was based on the old code, it's broken. I've been meaning to fix it, but I don't have much experience with SWIG so it would take me a while.

After googeling the error message for a bit I figured out that I should install the SWIG package.... Hmm...
Anyway, it took me to the next error - unfortunately.

Code:

scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
swig -o build/vdrift_wrap.cc -c++ -python src/vdrift.i
src/vdrift.i:22: Error: Unable to find 'include/bipointer.h'

scons: *** [build/vdrift_wrap.cc] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

It seems, that the header list in the vdrift.i file isn't up to date. I tried to replace all the header filenames in the vdrift.i file with the current ones.
However, I did not really have luck, since the SWIG compiler doesn't like the "BIPOINTER" anymore...

Code:

%template(DRAWABLE_BIPOINTER) BIPOINTER<DRAWABLE>;

BIPOINTER isn't used anymore in the refactor... it will take a little bit of work to update the track editor for the refactored code.
