Errors With External Dependencies.
-
I use code::blocks with MinGW
I found in misc.c an error while compiling my mod. It was found at the top, where it said #include (I take it was an external dependency). This the buggy content of the start of misc.c : http://pastebin.com/1GZsvNkF
The error I get is as follow: http://pastebin.com/eZ0zjxcy
I think it is something to do with the build options (Linker Settings etc).
I think as Cracker64 Updated wiki for Alpha 46.0, and he uses VS, he couldn't update the code::blocks guide.
Any answers? -
Trying.
EDIT: Where can I get regex.h? Google doesn't help. -
Were you not on IRC at all yesterday. Linux has a standard regular expressions library. We need 3 functions and 1 struct ported to Windows to compile. typedef struct re_pattern_buffer regex_t(so we need re_patter_buffer ported). regcomp(regex_t, char*, int), which compiles the submitted string to a format the next function can read. reg_exec(), which performs the regular expressions operations and reg_free(regex_t, char*, size_t, regmatch_t, int) which frees the regex_t memory. The struct regmath_t is left NULL so it is not necessary to port for the regexec function.
EDIT: I apologize, regexec() checks for a match using regular expressions syntax. It doesn't actually perform splitting. -
regex is not part of standard C. Therefore, on systems that don't have it, you need some extra files.
Files found here worked for me cross compiling for windows using MinGW on linux:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/regex-bin-zip.php
Adding it is probably a similar procedure to adding SDL and bzip2. (Extract zip file to correct place, add libregex.dll.a to link libraries list). -

I got banned from #powder because I expressed my unhappiness with linux that it wouldn't open Code::Blocks. I was pretty much told that I was being disrespectful because I didn't like the fact that Ubuntu wouldn't open the native Code::Blocks program and that I wanted to cross compile. Apparently cross compiling will get you banned. -
Thanks, can a Mod put the lock down, but don't delete the thread! I think that more about this will come up, so this can be a reference!

I saw, I was lurking. Cross compiling will not get you banned, raging will.
If you wish to cross compile from Ubuntu, see this old thread as a starting point (note: #ifdef code changes detailed there are probably no longer needed): https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=992
Also, running "codeblocks" from the terminal might give you some error output on why it won't start. -

Completely wrong. You were banned for being abusive and raging at people.
