Compiling in LINUX -- with Fedora 64bit

by Jeff Yaskus · in RTS Starter Kit · 03/28/2010 (4:49 pm) · 6 replies

Please tell me I am wrong, but it appears the TGE "linux" code is only compatible with INTEL and not AMD CPUs.

This is a new build environment (Fedora 12, patched) ... and I have resolved all the dependencies (?)

The make kicks off and fails right away due to i686 CPU specified in make file, so I tried manually removing it;

[root@localhost RTS Starter Kit 1.5.2 SDK]# make
--> Compiling lpng/png.c
`-mcpu=' is deprecated. Use `-mtune=' or '-march=' instead.
lpng/png.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
make[1]: *** [out.GCC4.DEBUG/lpng/png.obj] Error 1
make: *** [default] Error 2
[root@localhost RTS Starter Kit 1.5.2 SDK]# cd mk
[root@localhost mk]# grep mcpu *
conf.GCC2.FreeBSD.mk:		    -mcpu=i686 -ffast-math -fno-exceptions #-fno-check-new 
conf.UNIX.mk:		    `freetype-config --cflags` -mcpu=i686 -ffast-math -pipe

and then try to recompile
[root@localhost RTS Starter Kit 1.5.2 SDK]# make -f mk/configure.mk OS=LINUX COMPILER=GCC4 BUILD=DEBUG

Current Configuration: this config is VALID 
         OS: LINUX
   COMPILER: GCC4
      BUILD: DEBUG
    DIR.OBJ: out

To change the current configuration type:

make -f mk/configure.mk {arguments, ...}

required arguments:
  OS={WIN32 BEOS LINUX OpenBSD FreeBSD Solaris}
  COMPILER={CW6 VC6 GCC2 GCC3 GCC3.4 GCC4}
  BUILD={DEBUG RELEASE}

optional arguments:
  DIR.OBJ={path to store intermediate obj files}

Note: all arguments are case sensitive.

Made some progress ...

a) remove the i686 from the UNIX mk conf file and add -m32 (compile in32 bits)
...
CFLAGS.GENERAL    = -DUSE_FILE_REDIRECT -I/usr/X11R6/include/ -MD -m32  
		    `freetype-config --cflags` -ffast-math -pipe 
...
LFLAGS.GENERAL    = -m32
...

b) add the 32 bit libraries for Fedora ... (google)

c) then capitalized rts to RTS on files under game/RTS/*

Now its compiling ... but more errors to come.

more missing 32 bit libraries ... here is a good trick to use:
# yum whatprovides *X11/Xft/Xft.h

then install the x86_64 and i686 packages (both) ...

got this far (so far):

It appears its an issue with the multiple version of strstr and gcc4+

here is a work around, line ~280
return const_cast<char *>( strstr( str1 , str2 ) );

... further progress, now searching for more missing libraries;

Changed linking of GLU from STATIC to dynamic in conf.UNIX.mk:

replace;
-Wl,-static -Wl,-lGLU -Wl,-dy
with
-lGLU


...
added the location of libvorbis.so.0 to path ...

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib64:/home/jyaskus/Source/RTS_152_LINUX/lib/xiph/linux/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

and then was able to start and run the game

... but it says I need to download and instal OpenAL drivers, because it failed to initialize.

tried this "fix" but made no difference;

ODD and Confusing ... the stock RTS kit compiles and runs OK ... just (1) issue noticed so far ; the "ALT" + mouse wheel is not working.

But oddly enough, when I copy over my windows code base ... and install it, it seems OK. But when I run it, its showing me the mainMenuGui.gui from the "stock" game ... but with my modified .BMP images in the background.

very very odd ... think I'll need to sleep on this one.

EDIT:
this helped;
for file in `find . -name "*.cs" -print`;
do
 dos2unix $file
done

OK - for the next person who attempts this, here are some suggestions.

1) make sure to use the "dos2unix" command on ALL the scripts, mission files and gui files (*.cs, *.mis, *.gui). You can also do it for the C source (*.cc,*.h) but the compiler ignores them anyhow, so not required.

2) for simplicity -- if you are building a "dev" environment -- just stick with a 32bit OS install like Unbuntu ... saves all the trouble of install both x64 and 32 bit versions of everything.

3) use UNBUNTU ... all I had to do was use the GUI to install the necessary stuff (openal, sdl, nvidia drivers,etc.) ... piece of cake.

4) make a script to set the LIBRARY variable prior to running the binary ...

good luck!
