Built on Linux

[snus-mumrik]

Karl, Piotr, thanks a lot for your help. It finally works.
Installing boost_1.43 eliminated all boost related errors.
And the last error I fixed with quick-and-dirty-hack. But I think it needs some attention from developers.

If I understood correctly, the problem is: libtcod provides a list that stores pointers given by user. In some specific case we want to store integers in that list and so we give integers themselves instead of pointers. When we read from list the function returns void* and we cast it back to int. Now in 64 bit pointers and int-s are of different size and conversion from void* to int is not obvious for compiler.
I used (int)(unsigned long)that_pointer as a quick fix, hope it really was unsigned (maybe (int)(long)that_pointer could also work, didn't check).

The Boost developers have committed a fix to the problem I was mentioning earlier. So, it should be safe to make Entity::X and Entity::Y virtual again if that is ever needed. (At least, once the next release of Boost is available.)

[PiotrLegnica]

Yeah, 64-bit builds is something to be checked, right now you can just compile as 32-bit.

Is there any chance this can be updated to include the XML removal updates?

edit: Might not matter. boost 1.43 isn't in portage yet even.

[snus-mumrik]

Forks of gencontain and PiotrLegnica don't need XML as dependancy. And they have multiplatform build (boost build), that requires some tweaks now and then but generally works.

[Tinyn]

OK, I switched to gencontain, but I didn't see a Makefile and instantly paniced. (perfectly reasonable I feel.) But it doesn't build with bjam either. "error: Unknown target type rc"

[snus-mumrik]

As I said, it needs some tweaks. For example I used to run it with command line:

Code: Select all

bjam install variant=release-pdb toolset=gcc include="/home/ilya/Programming/Testing/Tcod/svn-libtcod/trunk/include/" linkflags="-L/home/ilya/Programming/Testing/Tcod/svn-libtcod/trunk/cmake/release/src/ -lboost_thread -lboost_serialization"


Then I edited some files to get rid of most options etc.

What command do you run?

[PiotrLegnica]

You don't need to edit the build-system itself any more. See viewtopic.php?p=1013#p1013

[snus-mumrik]

Oh, good.

[Tinyn]

So how do I provide a specific boost install directory, so the build system?
