I am getting closer. I was able to resolve the link-time errors (added a
slew of new files to the MSVC project) and got an executable! There was
one build problem in that MSVC did not like an enumeration being used to
define the size of an array:
.\src\Input/input.hxx(321) : error C2248: 'MAX_MOUSE_BUTTONS' : cannot
access private enumerator declared in class 'FGInput'
.\src\Input/input.hxx(250) : see declaration of 'MAX_MOUSE_BUTTONS'
Changing the enumeration to a series of #defines solved that problem.
Once I tried running, I crashed in main.cxx/fgReshape(), line 1166. It
appears that MSVC does not generate the proper code for:
globals->get_viewmgr()->get_view(i)->
set_aspect_ratio((float)view_h / (float)width);
and I wound up using a temp variable in order for it to work:
FGViewer *Viewer;
...
Viewer = globals->get_viewmgr()->get_view(i);
Viewer->set_aspect_ratio((float)view_h / (float)width);
Finally, I was able to run again and crashed in FGInput::_init_mouse(),
FlightGear died in the call to:
mode_node->getChild("button", k), line 658-ish
Assigning that to a local did not solve the problem, so I am now stuck,
again. At least the above line was added in version 1.35 of input.cxx,
rather than it being a problem with MSVC that was awoken as a side effect
of another change.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jonathan Polley
p.s. Has a solution been decided upon for the MSVC overloading problem?
I was able to work around the issue by renaming the vector methods to have
a suffix of _V, but I don't know if that is what is preferred. My vote,
if I may have one, is to not overload. This is a personal preference from
being burned, in the past, by compilers that aren't too smart. Granted
these were older compilers (c. 1985-97), and they weren't C++ compilers
(Ada-83 and Ada-95), but I have been made a tad gun shy.
