New configurator

[silnarm]

A delete cache in CMake would be the thing to do I think, but I noticed the old project files are building object files in ../../build, which happens to be the same directory we are using for cmake, shouldn't be causing problems, but is messy, so in this case, delete the build directory, then start again.

You certainly shouldn't be getting errors like that, they would seem to indicate there is something wrong with CMake or VC, neither likely, so I'd say it's just got itself in bit of mess. Start over, hopefully it all works out, if not, post more errors

[ZaggyDad]

I did what you suggested, and it did the exact same thing it did before, but there are no project files anywhere. Here's CMake's log:

Is it a bad thing that it can't find all those header files?

[Yggdrasil]

No, shouldn't be a problem.

You did press Generate after configuring?

[ZaggyDad]

The generate button was disabled (even after configuring). I suppose I should've remembered to mention that. =P

[silnarm]

That CMake output is good, everything is fine, you just need to hit configure again and the generate button will be enabled.

It's the way CMake works, you may need to hit configure multiple times until it has everything, in this case, with GAE_WINDEPS set, that will be twice, then you will be able to generate project files.

The only issues for VC++ is that 'startup project' and the working directory for debugging sessions are stored in a binary file, which CMake does not generate.

To set the start-up project, right click glest_configurator,


To set the debugging working directory, go to properties on the configurator project and select the debugging page,


Then you can 'rebuild and launch in the debugger' by clicking the little green play button

Cheers.

[ZaggyDad]

Huh. I'd tried clicking it a second time before, and it gave the two errors I posted a while ago, but now it's working. =\

I'm compiling it now. =D

Edit: It got an error while compiling:

Always when you hit an internal error in VC++ check to see if you have the latest service pack. Tom123 had similar errors compiling and when I directed him to update his VC++ to the latest Service PAck all was ok. Get it from here:

[ZaggyDad]

It turns out I just had to use CMake to generate the solution again. It's compiling perfectly now.

Btw, it turns out that the toStr method already does give true/false. I managed to make the "notebook" scale to fit the window, though.

Now I need to have access to the SVN so that I can commit the changes I made to it...

[Yggdrasil]

Why not just post a patch here or on the mailing list?

Btw, could someone on windows please update the CompileGuide?
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/glestae/wiki/CompileGuide

Would be nice to have it working most of the time. Maybe also extend the description a little.

[ZaggyDad]

Because I'm planning to make more changes. Why else?

I just updated the compile guide for Windows, though there didn't seem to be anything really needing updating, except for mention of the old solution files.

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/glestae/wiki/CompileGuide

Sorry, I was changing things without providing any explanations 
I have taken to using the 'grouped view' in the CMake gui, so I would like any vars relating to the engine to have the prefix GAE_ to get them all grouped together. That's why I changed/broke WINDEPS & USE_PHYSFS, sorry.

I just updated the compile guide for Windows, though there didn't seem to be anything really needing updating, except for mention of the old solution files.

Thanks Zaggy, I might move those sceenshots onto it as well, maybe we should make the current page a 'compile guide overview' and add specific pages for Windows/Linux/Mac.

Why not just post a patch here or on the mailing list?

Yeah, hit us up with a patch or two first, if they work as advertised you'll have svn access before long

[ZaggyDad]

Okay, here's the patch: http://www.mediafire.com/?jhqdlmdzfyy

I changed a bit of the indentation because it's harder to read with the classes on the same level as the namespace it's contained in. Is that okay, or should I undo it?

[silnarm]

Nice work.

Be careful if making changes in the shared library though, remember it is used by the other tools and the game as well, the property map values must be matched in all lower-case, the game relies on it.

I've applied the patch (with lower-casing in the propertyMap restored), but I just hacked a glest 3.2.2 configuration.xml, so if you have a better one, please update

You've been added to the project and have SVN access, just be careful with the shared lib

Cheers.

Edit: Ohh... indenting the body of a namespace may seem like a good idea, but it's not Most source files contain code all in the same namespace, so you just end up with extra indentation that conveys no useful information. Just say no.
