building cegui in cygwin environment

-error · Postby **-error** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 06:27

anybody tried this combination? :-)

for me `./configure' went just fine, but compile breaks whith this messages:

as far, as i understand, g++ doesn't set __WIN32__, _WIN32.
what to put in CEGUIFactoryModule.h?

I've not tried cygwin, though can see that the system is likely to get confused. Did you try defining __WIN32__ or _WIN32 in CFLAGS passed to configure?

I tried defining both in CFLAGS passed to configure -- did not seem to have an effect (same error messages). When passing -D__WIN32__ as CPPFLAGS passed to configure, it did have an effect (different error message produced):

I've managed to build cegui lib !! (0.4.1 of the source code for Crazy Eddie's GUI System Mk-2, for linux and MacOS)

I first tried a long time ago to build cegui in mingw ( see http://www.cegui.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1097 ).
This time, I'm trying to build the lib under cygwin.
I managed to pass that problem :
modify /include/CEGUIFactoryModule.h, line 45 :

Code: Select all

#elif defined(__linux__) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
#    if defined(__CYGWIN__)
#        include <dlfcn.h>
#    endif
#    define DYNLIB_HANDLE void*
#    define DYNLIB_LOAD( a ) dlopen( a, RTLD_LAZY )
#    define DYNLIB_GETSYM( a, b ) dlsym( a, b )
#    define DYNLIB_UNLOAD( a ) dlclose( a )
#    define DYNLIB_ERROR( ) dlerror( )

It would good if any developper includes that patch on next release

You meant (or the current version has moved code into) CEGUIDynamicModule.h, such that the section

Code: Select all

#if defined(__WIN32__) || defined(_WIN32)
#    define DYNLIB_HANDLE hInstance
#    define DYNLIB_LOAD( a ) LoadLibrary( a )
#    define DYNLIB_GETSYM( a, b ) GetProcAddress( a, b )
#    define DYNLIB_UNLOAD( a ) !FreeLibrary( a )

    struct HINSTANCE__;
    typedef struct HINSTANCE__* hInstance;

#elif defined(__linux__)
#    define DYNLIB_HANDLE void*
#    define DYNLIB_LOAD( a ) dlopen( a, RTLD_LAZY )
#    define DYNLIB_GETSYM( a, b ) dlsym( a, b )
#    define DYNLIB_UNLOAD( a ) dlclose( a )

Hey there, I succeeded in building the CEGUIBase targets with cygwin, I'm working on the other targets now (well, will prolly be tomorrow....)

This is on version 0.6.2 downloadable source package.

I thought I could share my experience with others and get feedback, cause I NEED feedback, I ain't no expert here :-)

First of all, get the required dependencies thorugh cygwin's setup.exe, the only one I guess oyu'll not find out there in the cygnus packages is DevIL, i'll try compiling this later on.

Either run "./configure" in CEGUI root dir (wherever you unpacked the source zip/tarball) or use premake to generate your projects of choice, I used premake to generate Code::Blocks workspaces. the CEGUIBASE targets, you will have to modifiy two sources

In in Include\CEGUIDynamicModule.h, line 45

Code: Select all

#elif defined(__linux__) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
#    if defined(__CYGWIN__)
#        include <dlfcn.h>
#    endif
#    define DYNLIB_HANDLE void*
#    define DYNLIB_LOAD( a ) dlopen( a, RTLD_LAZY )
#    define DYNLIB_GETSYM( a, b ) dlsym( a, b )
#    define DYNLIB_UNLOAD( a ) dlclose( a )
#    define DYNLIB_ERROR( ) dlerror( )

it's enough to get the basic dynamic lib definitions.

(The post above seem to set redundant #include statements)

In src\CEGUIsystem.cpp, line 96

Code: Select all

#if defined(__WIN32__) || defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
#include <windows.h>
double SimpleTimer::currentTime()
{
    return timeGetTime() / 1000.0;
}

#elif defined(__linux__) || defined(__APPLE__) // || defined(__CYGWIN__)
#include <sys/time.h>
double SimpleTimer::currentTime()
{
    timeval timeStructure;
    gettimeofday(&timeStructure, 0);
    return timeStructure.tv_sec + timeStructure.tv_usec / 1000000.0;
}
#else
#error "SimpleTimer not available for this platform, please implement it"
#endif

you can put the defined(__CYGWIN__) directive in either place, I *guess* that if you end up including the W32api <windows.h> (as in the above snipped), you should not depend on the cygwin's DLL to have the system timer, while if you swap the statements, the timer functions in system lib header sys/time.h WILL depend on Cygwin DLL.

I have no evidence of this as of now cause I had not the chance to test out the built libraries, but I appreciate anyone who would comment on this one.

To get the libraries linked in the DEBUG* targets, you should remove "_d" both from pcre/freetype dependencies cause following these steps will endup in having only the relase libs installed in cygwin.
(btw, inlcudes are in /usr/include, /usr/include/freetype and libs are in /usr/libs of cygwin environment.)

By now I succeded in building all DEBUG+RELEASE targets but the STATIC ones...just ran out of time.

Hope anybody will feedback at me.

Cheers
-Andy

Nothing to say but good work !
I hope someday there will be pre-built binaries of every CEGUI release for a cygwin system, maybe I would start using that instead of visual c++ !

One thing to add to you is that I once tried this too, got everything to build (only in static !) but at the time linking my (static) CEGUI libs with my project had some strange linker errors, figured them out, but after that the app crashed before entering main, then I gave up after a few days

Hope you will not encounter this problem

Postby **CrazyEddie** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 10:24

Yeah, good stuff

With regards to the timer question, I'm not certain about dependence upon the various system DLLs, though with regards to which timer option to choose, I think the key thing there is what are cygwin users expecting when using a given project? Are the cygwin users expecting most things to be done in a linux like way, or a Windows like way? I think perhaps it's the former.

pkrcel · Postby **pkrcel** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 10:40

By now, I've succeded in building all targets in CEGUIBase, but I am unsure about the issue you address about "how cygwin users woudl ike their projects to behave".

Personally, I like the cygwin environment because it allows me to do things I usually do on linux on my windows machine but, still, I'd like to have my Windows project to be NOT dependent on the cygwin's DLL, there will be PLENTY of DLLs on which my projects will depend, and none of them (for what I could forecast right now) should use any of the non-native features cygwin provides, hence no need to have to distribute also cygwin1.dll along with my apps

I'd also try to add the -mnocygwin option the compiler's command line.

I'm also fond of mingw32, if you might wonder, but there.. to install a good deal of the libraries needed to obtain GCEGUI I'd have to use MSYS and launch (for instance) ./configure.

THe cygwin command line allows me to quickly locate things lik on my Linux terminal....I guess it's only a matter of habit, really.

Anyway I'll try to build all the possible targets into the CEGUI workspace and then will move to the samples, to test the libraries.

Cool. So much for my theory, hehe

pkrcel wrote:I'm also fond of mingw32, if you might wonder, but there..

Yeah, mingw32 based compilation of CEGUI is something we're actually able to more readily support, mainly because it's something that I provided as an interest to myself (I use mingw32 on linux to cross compile CEGUI - because I get a kick out of it :lol:

).

I think the lack of a proper mingw32 dependencies package is a shame. I might get around to providing one some time - I have a few bits built for my cross-compile adventures, I thought I had a link to them on the forum somewhere...
