Built on Linux

[immortius]

Bah, my fault on that one. :/

[mattl]

There's a whole bunch of them...

This may be of some help... bah

apep

p.s. edit... "hg update -r1449"... anywayz...

[immortius]

Those errors like Entity.hpp should include Faction.hpp. Not sure if there are other problems. I tried to install linux on a virtual machine to investigate further but hit some issues - I may try again later.

[apostepriori]

it builds fine with the above patch and source checked out at 1449 revision i.e. v0.141 tag. though there also may be the matter of bjam config. one can look at my "stable" Arch Linux AUR entry for that.

i may update the "-hg" AUR entry some time, too, but i don't have patience to keep chasing away the breakage developers are reintroducing with every little revision. and great going there with removing every other "stable" tag before the last one... jeez luiz...

/sigh,
a post...

bjam is the most complicated build tool I've come across so far. It doesn't do any version checks, doesn't stop when it encounters an error and the documentation is hidden somewhere in the depths of internet, where only a skilled google guru ventures. I'm not a programmer, but I still wonder why the author chose it instead of cmake or scons or ...

Anyway, I'd appreciate if you could give me a couple of hints on how to compile this thing. The output of bjam is extremely long. About two million lines look like this:

Code: Select all

doesn't do any version checks

What version checks?

doesn't stop when it encounters an error

Use -q switch.

documentation is hidden

http://www.boost.org/doc/tools
Also, we have docs/build-readme.html, if you feel that it's not enough then I'd like to know how it could be improved.

why the author chose it

GC didn't choose it, I did, mainly to try it out, and because it avoids a lot of boilerplate. If I had chosen something else, people would complain about something else instead. ;)

I also don't see how you view it as complicated, really. It's a single command to build everything (and config file if your dependencies happen to lie outside of standard compiler paths). Compilation errors are very rarely related to Boost.Build itself, unless you're modifying Jamfiles.

If you encounter compilation errors, always post the entire log.

[immortius]

Build errors are generally because everyone is developing under windows and Visual Studio is more forgiving than other compilers (unfortunately).

[PiotrLegnica]

I'm trying to setup Jenkins and nightly builds to catch those quicker, don't know if I manage to finish this today.

What version checks?

E.g. I had python 2.6, but it happily assumed that I have python 2.7.

Oh man, thats longer than War and Peace, but I'll give it a read. Thank you.

I should've done that, sorry. Complete output: http://pastebin.com/z4SM1cW2, but be warned that it really is 2 million lines long. Well, 3733 to be exact.

Please help, I'm dying to try this game out

Edit: Just saw this, looks promising: Immortius * d1e044dbada0 r1591 /Goblin Camp/src/ (data/Serialization.cpp SpawningPool.cpp): - Code fixes for linux compile.
