(solved) CELayoutEditor-0.5.0 compile error

[schnorr]

Hello,

I am trying to compile the layout editor 0.5.0 in Linux. I followed the tips available here http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started#Setup_the_editor.

So, I first installed wxWidgets-2.8.7.
Then, I configured the layout editor package with the following command:

./configure --with-wx-config=/opt/wx/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8

After make, the compilation follows, but stops with the following error:

then mv -f ".deps/DialogAddWindow.Tpo" ".deps/DialogAddWindow.Po"; else
rm -f ".deps/DialogAddWindow.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

Does anyone know a solution for that?
the version 0.5.0 of the editor works with wxwidgets 2.8.7?

Thanks

Hi,

I think, but am not in any way 100% certain, that you may need a newer version of the code to use 2.8.x of wxWidgets.

The newer editor code definitely works with 2.8.x, there's some details posted [url=http://www.cegui.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2839]here[/ul], though I think you need svn CEGUI code (though again, I'm not certain).

fjeronimo or maybe Scriptkid will likely have better info about which version work with what (I just use SVN versions of everything).

Hi,

i'm sorry, but the files in the download area pointed to 0.5.0, while we are already at 0.5c. I fixed this, can you try to download the file again from this page: http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/ ... oads_0.5.0

Please let me know when it still doesn't compile.

HTH.

Hello,

Thanks for the replies. So, I downloaded 0.5.0c version. Here are some problems I found when dealing in Ubuntu Linux 7.10.

1/ bootstrap with DOS characters

schnorr@home:/tmp/CELayoutEditor$ ./bootstrap
-bash: ./bootstrap: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
schnorr@home:/tmp/CELayoutEditor$

To make it work, execute the command inside the script:

aclocal -I . $ACLOCAL_FLAGS && autoheader && automake --include-deps --add-missing --foreign && autoconf

Maybe it is interesting to remove the DOS characters in the end of lines, but I don't know what is the impact to Windows users.

2/ configure problems when generating Makefiles

schnorr@home:/tmp/CELayoutEditor$ ./configure --with-wx-config=/opt/wx/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8
(...)
(...)
configure: creating ./config.status
.infig.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile
schnorr@home:/tmp/CELayoutEditor$

The make it work, configure.ac (around line 66) changed from this:

AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile
bin/Makefile
src/Makefile])

to this

AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile bin/Makefile src/Makefile)

Now I have the makefiles.

I executed make and the error changed to this:

schnorr@home:/tmp/CELayoutEditor$ make
make all-recursive
make[1]: entrant dans le répertoire « /tmp/CELayoutEditor »
Making all in src
make[2]: entrant dans le répertoire « /tmp/CELayoutEditor/src »

then mv -f ".deps/EditorCanvas.Tpo" ".deps/EditorCanvas.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/EditorCanvas.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

make: *** [all] Erreur 2
schnorr@home:/tmp/CELayoutEditor$

It seems an error with the wxWidgets library. The line 237 of the file has:

typedef short int WXTYPE;

So, any idea?

Thanks again,

It is actually not a wxWidgets problem but something strange in the EditorCanvas.cpp file in the src folder. The first couple of lines of EditorCanvas.cpp:

In the first line of the file, the first character, the "a", should not be there. Remove it and it compiles fine.

Hello,

Thanks thefreeman_za.

Compilation problem solved by editing src/EditorCanvas.cpp of CELayoutEditor-0.5.0c and removing the "a" character placed as first character of the file.

[CrazyEddie]

Heh

I actually had this issue myself when I was performing some updates to get the newest code building on linux. I thought that I had inadvertently entered that 'a' myself - I did not realise that someone had committed code to svn like that

...
The make it work, configure.ac (around line 66) changed from this:

AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile
bin/Makefile
src/Makefile])

to this

AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile bin/Makefile src/Makefile)

Now I have the makefiles.
...

don't remove the brackets, it gives error (for me)

AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile bin/Makefile src/Makefile])
