OpenRedAlert

Based on SDL. Perhaps the author would permit an OS4 version. Maybe a very talented developer could port this for us, wink wink, nod, nod Spot.

Forgot to add, EA are giving the original away, so all the game files would be available.

on the very first file. Though i'd be able to fix those if
it gave me a line in the code this one looks more complicated
as it seems the code calls SDL dependencies from two different
sources /common and /clib2.
I can't find the responsive pieces of code, so this one goes
over my head.

-mcrt=newlib doesn't fix it either, but that would've been to easy
anyway

If someone else will try and please tell me how to fix those
i'd be very grateful as it would mean me learning something new

@Raziel

Wipe out all your SDL includes from SDK:local and reinstall it, ensuring you only have one copy of the includes (preferably in SDK:local/common)

You probably have includes from different versions in clib2 and common (and probably newlib as well)

Chris

@Chris

There are none

I have SDL_xxx includes only in SDK:local/common/include/SDL/
and newlib, clib2. That doesn't seem to be the problem

@Raziel

Double-check them against the latest package.

SDL_types.h and SDL_stdinc.h are defining the same things.

ISTR I had the same problem once and it was old includes lying around (or maybe I hacked out offending code, I really can't remember)

@Raziel

cd src
make all -f ../makefile

And you need this line in some files:

typedef unsigned int type_t;

@LiveForIt

Build and upload it then, maaan

with your command i get

make all -f ../makefile
openredalert
T:gmake.sh.897.FJAKSQ[1]: openredalert: not found
sh failed returncode 127
gmake: *** [all] Error 127

@Chris

Double checked, yes, there are no more, btw, i really wouldn't
want to touch the SDK, it builds the projects i need to and
it was a helluva job to make it work back then.

I really hope that the new SDK will work right out of the box

@Raziel

your not in the src dir when typed it!

"cd src" first

Quote:

stops at:

vfs/filesystem/externalvfs.cpp:448: error: 'fchdir' was not declared in this scope

I don't know what to do about that...

@LiveForIt

Wrong, i am in the src dir

/Development/Coding/Sources/OpenRedAlert/src> make all -f ../makefile
openredalert
T:gmake.sh.1517.SOPLTQ[1]: openredalert: not found
sh failed returncode 127
gmake: *** [all] Error 127

@Raziel

try whit out "sh"

@LiveForIt

7.Development:Coding/Sources/OpenRedAlert/src> make all -f ../makefile
openredalert
openredalert: Unknown command
openredalert failed returncode 10
make: *** [all] Error 10

I was told to NEVER, EVAR try to build ANYTHING without
being in sh...

@Raziel

line: 148 in the makefile needs to look like this!

all: openredalert

@LiveForIt

erm, i haven't changed the original makefile

@Raziel

I have changed it

@LiveForIt and Raziel

Does this mean it's on the way? -:)

Raziel
Don't give in, you can beat this!

Cheers

@acefnq

No, I just looked at it, nothing more

@LiveForIt

Well, It compiled here, but I'm getting linker errors. Looks like I need to update the SDL and SDL_Mixer libs, any idea where they are?

Simon

@Rigo

no idea maybe new SDK?

@LiveForIt

OK, found the libs, but there are too many linking errors for me to be bothered to try and fix it. Spotup says he has an exe now, so I'll let him take the credit :)
