Compiling UQM with MinGW
« on: February 24, 2007, 08:40:00 pm »

http://koti.mbnet.fi/lonnberg/MinGWUQM.txt
Following this instructions rigorously, I tried to compile UQM. MSYS acted like it compiled UQM, but I can't find a compiled UQM anywhere.
Help please!

Hello,

If you just want to play the standard uqm, note that there is a precompiled Windows binary available on the download page.

Anyhow, do you think you could post the last 10-20 lines that appeared on the console here?

I wrote those instructions, so it's only fair that I handle the fallout. Sad

The executable should be right in the directory you ran all those commands in, if the compilation worked. If you can't find it, something must have gone wrong.

In any case, you can copy the MSYS output to the Windows clipboard by highlighting it. Please save this to a file and upload it somewhere I can read it.

You need the wspiapi.h file from the Microsoft Platform SDK if you want to compile with Netplay.

Ah, right, I haven't updated the instructions since netplay was added (I was hoping this requirement would go away).

For your convenience, you can download this file separately here. Put it in the MinGW/include directory.

So am I. But neither MinGW nor Cygwin has getaddrinfo(), probably because Microsoft implemented it in a header file. And I don't think we are allowed to redistribute Microsoft's wspiapi.h file (though we are allowed to distribute programs built with it).

Bumping this ages old thread to update some of the stuff

http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.2.0.tar.gz

^ doesn't install on my Windows 7, 64-bit. Instead i used
http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.3.1.tar.gz

Code:

Jesse Kaukonen@GEKKO-MAIN-WIN7 /e/uqmsource/uqm-0.6.2/sc2
$ C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include:/usr/local/include ./build.sh uqm
  LINK     uqm-debug
c:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: ei l├Âydy -lvorbisfile
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [uqm-debug] Error 1


That " ei l├Âydy " is Finnish for "not found" (with umlauts broken)

So something needs to be changed to link to libvorbis properly. Suggestions?

EDIT: Solved. I got some help on #sc2

libvorbis installs to incorrect directory. It should install to /usr/local/lib, but instead installs the .dlls to /usr/local/bin.

Copy the .dll files to the correct directory:

cd /usr/local/bin
cp * ../lib

Then open /uqm-0.6.2/sc2/build/unix/config_proginfo_host

Find this part of the file

MINGW32*|CYGWIN*|cegcc)
    LIB_vorbisfile_CFLAGS=""
    LIB_vorbisfile_LDFLAGS="-lvorbisfile -lvorbis -lm -logg"
;;

Change the middle lines to

    LIB_vorbisfile_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
    LIB_vorbisfile_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -lm -logg"

Then in /uqm-0.6.2/sc2/ run ./build.sh uqm config

Then build again, works for me

Thanks for the information on Windows 7 compatibility; I only have XP and Linux on my own equipment and limited access to Vista. I may have enough time to check and update the Windows building instructions in a few weeks (I have some vacation time that I have to use or lose).

I'm at loss here. I've tried to follow those instructions too, I've tried Gekko's fix, I've copied the headers and dlls nearly everywhere, to no avail : "vorbisfile not found" again and again.

For some reason, the config script seems to superbly ignore vorbisfile, and skip directly to vorbisidec ; buildlog always ends with :
Quote
gcc -L/usr/lib -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows -L/usr/lib -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows -lSDL_image -lvorbisidec /tmp/build.1292.tmp.c.o -o /tmp/build.1292.tmp.out
c:\Progra~1\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lvorbisidec

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Failed program was:
+++ START /tmp/build.1292.tmp.c
int main(void) {
    return 0;
}
+++ END /tmp/build.1292.tmp.c
and never mentions vorbis nor vorbisfile.

I'm using mingw32 under Vista, everything else is working perfectly, and I even get sounds when I play, but I guess libmikmod is the one producing them, and I got no music at all.

EDIT : nevermind. pkgconfig was abusively called (and not found), when there was a perfectly functional vorbis.
The cleanest workaround I found was to edit config_proginfo_host and change:
Quote
case "$HOST_SYSTEM" in
    ARMV5|WINSCW|GCCE)
        LIB_vorbisfile_DETECT="false"
        ;;
    *)
        LIB_vorbisfile_DETECT="try_pkgconfig_lib vorbisfile vorbisfile"
        LIB_vorbisfile_DEPEND_DETECT_BIN="pkgconfig"
        ;;
esac

for :

Quote
case "$HOST_SYSTEM" in
    ARMV5|WINSCW|GCCE)
        LIB_vorbisfile_DETECT="false"
        ;;
    MINGW32*)
        LIB_vorbisfile_DETECT="true"
        ;;
    *)
        LIB_vorbisfile_DETECT="try_pkgconfig_lib vorbisfile vorbisfile"
        LIB_vorbisfile_DEPEND_DETECT_BIN="pkgconfig"
        ;;
esac

... which of course won't work if you don't have a proper vorbis install.
