So as I was discussing with Peter last night on the irc/vos bridge, I got everything to compile right for wxterangreal except for a missing wxgl.dll. It turns out that this is a CrystalSpace plugin, and the CS configure needs to see wxwidgets in order to create it.
Fair enough -- I added a CONFIG_WX to the configure command line (basically using the line from http://interreality.org/static/docs/manual-html/windows.html ) and it seemed to work -- according to config.log, CS configure recognizes wxwidgets now. But it didn't *really* work -- configure determined that wxwidgets didn't support openGL, and still didn't build wxgl.dll! Some troubleshooting in the CS configure scripts (I'm using the CS snapshot in CS-2006-04-15.tar.gz) and I noticed that the check for whether wx supports gl uses the $cs_cv_libglu_cflags,lflags, and libs. But I was pretty sure GLU wasn't what we wanted -- just straight openGL. And GLU isn't checked for in the configure script at all, so those variables are uninitialized! Well, long story short, I added the $cs_cv_libgl_cflags, etc to the configure file, ran autogen.sh, and re-configured. Poof! wx support with gl enabled! After running make install, I verified that wxgl.dll was built. Yup! I tried running my wxterangreal using it and yay! it works --- kinda? Hmm... I can't move my avatar around. That's strange. Rebuilt everything. Still can't move the avatar. On a whim, I try running it using the wxgl.dll included with the binary installer -- and my avatar moves! I go back to the wxgl.dll I built... I can't move! Very strange. So I guess that leaves me with 3 mysteries: 1) Why couldn't the CS snapshot correctly test for wx-with-gl, and why has it apparently worked for others in the past? 2) Why did the wxgl.dll built with that CS snapshot (and the wxwidgets snapshot from vos-win32-mingw-libs-0.23.0.tar.gz) have trouble with keyboard input, but the wxgl.dll included with the binary installer works fine? 3) Why am I still messing around with the 0.23 source instead of just moving on to 0.24 and forgetting about ancestral build problems? ;) If others want to ponder these mysteries, go ahead. As for me, I think my voyages with building 0.23 from scratch should end here; it's time to move on to better and more "bazaar" things ;) -Ken _______________________________________________ vos-d mailing list vos-d@interreality.org http://www.interreality.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vos-d
