libnewton_utils.a and compiling

[Ockonal]

Hello, I'm trying to compile pseudoform under linux. I've uploaded all dependencies but building fails near physic. Here is build output:

deps/linux/newton/sdk/libnewton_utils.a: could not read symbols: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Pseudoform is latest from git.
Newton is latest beta (2.17).
I didn't find any reference to libnewton_utils.a. As I undestand, it built with another version of newton-sdk instead of libNewton.a.

[shua]

same version, it's just that in order to get libNewton.a to work, you would need to move some stuff to /usr/include and they wanted everything self-contained. It's probably because libnewton_utils.a was made on a different machine with different path names. You can try making the archive on your computer. I'll branch my repo and add the object files and a script to archive them to .a .

*edit* just made a branch named lnewton http://github.com/shua/pseudoform/tree/lnewton#, when you download it, just go to the deps/linux/newton dir and run lnewtonutils.sh and it should work, but until someone fixes the scripting I don't think you'll see anything except a grey screen when you run it; if you want a version that "works" try the one on the download page http://pseudoform.org/index.php?id=download

[Ockonal]

Thank you, shua.
Now I'm downloading that branch.
>if you want a version that "works" try the one on the download page http://pseudoform.org/index.php?id=download
It's pretty enough to see the full game but I'm interested in some things about portals. As you can see here: http://www.pseudoform.org/index.php?id=media
version: Pseudoform 0.1.*.* 'Fry'. There are pretty videos about translating lights throughout the portals and another stuff. In what version I can see realization of these videos?
And is it available for public viewing/downloading.

I've downloaded files from your own repository. Ran that script and tried to rebuild. Here is log:

-------------- Build: Release_linux in Portalized ---------------
Linking executable: bin/linux/release/portalized
deps/linux/newton/sdk/libnewton_utils.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

[shua]

you can do light transfer through portals as well as all the other things in the movies of Fry with the one on the download page,
and as far as the linker errors, assuming you already ran build-all.sh, I would try running

Code: Select all

ranlib libnewton_utils.a

in the deps/linux/newton/sdk directory.

Also, what type of linux are you running again?

[Ockonal]

Okay, so 'Fry' isn't available for publics?
And running:

ranlib libnewton_utils.a

Does nothing

I'm using arch linux 32bit

[Svenstaro]

Arch Linux will work fine. The .a that somehow ended up in the repo is made on an Arch Linux x86_64 machine. Simply rebuild the Newton utils into an *.a and you should be fine. Try gcc -c -o libnewton_utils.a path_to_newtonutils/**

[Ockonal]

Svenstaro, sorry, I can't understand what to do exactly. I didn't work with gcc directly cause I worked with vc under windows .
Where should I do that and with what files?

[Svenstaro]

Get the most recent Newton SDK for your architecture. Extract it and go to newtonSDK\sdk\. Do g++ -c -o libnewton_utils.a d*/*. Substitute the new libnewton_utils.a you get with the one you are compiling against at the moment. You might have to also link the utils against newton itself (-lNewton -L.).

[Ockonal]

[ockonal@wincode linux]$ cd newtonSDK/sdk/
[ockonal@wincode sdk]$ g++ -c -o libnewton_utils.a d*/*
g++: cannot specify -o with -c or -S with multiple files

What's wrong?

[Svenstaro]

Ok, just try g++ -fPIC -o libnewton_utils.a d*/* and add the other linker flags if necessary.

[shua]

Ok, just try g++ -fPIC -o libnewton_utils.a d*/* and add the other linker flags if necessary.

I'm pretty sure you also need CustomJointLibraryStdAfx.cpp/.h, NewtonCustomJoint.cpp/.h, and Newton.h for it to all compile correctly.

[shua]

you don't need Newton.h, but I've made up a makefile that, if you have the newtonSDK folder in your deps/linux folder, should compile all the source files into .o's and those into a new libnewton_utils.a.

Instructions:
delete all files in the deps/linux/newton folder (or move them somewhere else, it doesn't really matter)(and make sure you keep the sdk folder)
delete libnewton_utils.a in deps/linux/newton/sdk folder
extract my makefile to deps/linux/newton
open terminal in deps/linux/newton and type "make" w/out quotes of course.

and to answer your question about Fry, no, I don't think so, but Leela http://www.pseudoform.org/index.php?id=download looks and plays exactly the same as those Fry screenshots, its just more stable.

[Ockonal]

shua, thanks for helping. Here is log of my doings: http://dpaste.com/170379/
What is wrong there?
----------------
Svenstaro, and what can u say about Fry?

[shua]

Haha, my bad, I thought you needed Newton.h, here you are.

just remove those old object files and replace the old makefile with the new one. Should work.

[Svenstaro]

Ockonal, what do you want to know about Fry? It's the current "stable" release and should work just out of the box. If you want to help in development you should use the git clone though.
shua, thanks for the help.

[Ockonal]

Svenstaro, Okay, I understand. Yeah, I wanna help this project. Now I'm reviewing all source to know the structure better.
shua, thank you for helping too. I'm going to test it soon. The I'll post here.

[Svenstaro]

Woah, sorry for the BS there. Fry is (well, was) the fully experimental Portalized 1 engine that is now totally deprecated. The next one would be Bender after Leela.

[Phosfor]

Lol Futurama-names^^

I love Futurama and Simpsons^^

[Ockonal]

shua, totally killer Now everything compiles fine!
Going to make up another dependencies
Svenstaro, okay. I hope, 'Bender' will come. I'm going to post any troubles first time. But why did I ask. In 'Fry' videos there is new skin interface and in last stable release (which available in torrent) there is older one.
---
Now I can start application using need sh-script. Everyting goes right, but after some sec application closes. Here is log: http://pastebin.com/YEud3u8x
Is there something wrong?

[shua]

Coolz that was my first makefile ever, I'm glad it worked. It was a little hacky on the .cpp to .o but I couldn't get the .cpp.o: part to work, and if it works it works. I'll probably merge it with my main.

[Ockonal]

Svenstaro, if I'll write back script system for the latest (git) version, will it work?

[Svenstaro]

Ockonal, what do you mean? If you are going to request a pull request, I'll happily pull from you on github.

[Ockonal]

Svenstaro, yeah, I mean that i'm going to write back lua script to the engine. I need in this for understanding the structure. Then I'll be able to help with chainscript. So the question is: did you start to rewrite only script-engine in git-version of pseudoform? WIll it work if I'll write back lua?

[Svenstaro]

Why not just use the Leela package and diff the sources and scripts against the current git ones? Leela still used Lua to do its thing. That is 100% what you want assuming I got you right. You do not actually need to "write back" the Lua stuff. We still have it .

[Ockonal]

Why not just use the Leela package and diff the sources

I'm new to control systems. I know only how to create/commit and some other basic stuff
But I'll try to do something by my hands.
