Making WarZone 2100 ..

@djrikki

Off course I use this guide, read my first post
That is essential to me as i've to start learning from scratch, little step by little step ...

@samo79

Did you finish the port yesterday?

@samo79

Cross compiling is allot easier in Cygwin,
At least you get all shell commands you need for cmake, ccmake, autoconfig, automake etc.
Bison, flex, phython etc are all up to date.

@LiveForIt

Maybe but at the moment i don't have the time to setup a Cygwin environment, also when possible i prefer to work only with OS4 tools in OS4

@samo79

http://www.a500.org/downloads/development/bison.7z

It seems bison-2.3 is easier to compile as it doesn't contain any of the crap that is in later versions. Unfortunately it does use fork though. I've gotten around this by linking it with libaos4util from AmiCygnix-SDK which has a dummy fork function (just returns an error) so it remains to be seen if this executable is usable or not.

@salass00

But it is already usable for the compiler at this stage ?
We have just this bin, how can i use ?

@samo79

Copy bison into SDK:local/C and the configure script should then be able find it.

@salass00

Ok copied, later i will try to compile, no time this morning

Thanks a lot for your help !

Ok i didn't resist

I have another problem with zip, to solve i install zip lib from OS4Depot and put all deps in Local SDK folder ...

Any idea ?

@samo79

You need this:
zip-bin.lha

Put the zip binary in SDK:local/C, same as with bison.

@salass00

Ok done (unzip was also required) now a new alert come

Quote:

I have latest SDL installed but i will look at it again ...

@samo79

You need the sdl.pc file in SDK:Local/newlib/lib/pkgconfig. For some reason this file isn't included in the OS4 SDL SDK archive.

This is a modified version of SDL_Image.pc that should work assuming that you have the latest SDL-1.2.13 (just save as SDK:local/newlib/lib/pkgconfig/sdl.pc):

It ask for X11 !

@samo79

Check with "./configure -h" if there is an option to disable x11 functions in code.

@salass00

Looking at the config file. It says if nessecery,maybe just remove the whole checking?

But further down it checks for these files,not sure if we have these:

checking for Popt.h
checking for physfs.h
checking for SDL_opengl.h

@salass00

I type this command, it is correct ?

Quote:

Shell give me a long output with the environment variables but i didn't found any X11 reference

Conversely if usefull in "configure" file i found this function:

Quote:

@samo79

Just try and remove the whole X11 checking in configure file. Save it and try again,

@Antique

It could be work, infact after erasing that function it say:

Quote:

@samo79

Seems like you haven't removed all the lines related to the X11.

Remove the lines from 10078 to 10143. That should do the trick. But if you look at my latest post to salass00. You'll encounter other problems aswell.....
Not sure if we have those files for the coming problems...

@Antique

Ops ! you right

Done ...

Quote:

Now I have only a problem with popt header:

configure: error: Popt header not found.

physfs.h and opengl.h seems ok here but eventually i'll check them further
