Some module build errors

BlitzMax Forums/Brucey's Modules/Some module build errors

BlitzSupport

(Posted 2016) [#1]

I know that the intent is that modules are built on the fly under normal NG usage, but I was curious to see if I could build all modules anyway. Thought I'd post in the hope that it might be of use to Brucey and co.

Using Frisky from bmx-ng.com on Win7 64-bit to download current bmk/bcc/maxide/pub/brl, I tried Build Modules from the NG IDE, but it fails on a few things, and these are the changes (mainly commenting out) I had to make in order to complete the build.

lua.mod/lua.bmx -- it doesn't like $z parameters! I simply commented all of those out (had to comment out lines that used these functions, too, including some in maxlua.mod/maxlua.bmx).

It also didn't like:

Function lua_sethook:Int (lua_state:Byte Ptr, f(ls:Byte Ptr,ar:lua_Debug Ptr), mask:Int, count:Int)

Don't think I was even aware this was a thing!

There are a bunch of Ptr Ptrs in win32.mod/com.bmx that it doesn't like:

Method lfget_Application(ppDisp:IDispatch Ptr Ptr)

Again, I just commented this out.

This errors in directx.mod/dd.bmx:

Method CreateSurface(surfacedesc:Byte Ptr,surf:IDirectDrawSurface Ptr,outer:Byte Ptr)

(Is that even possible?! Anyway, it builds if I change to Byte Ptr -- plus a few similar IWhatever Ptr parameters in that file.)

EDIT: Hmm, does then crash with D3D9 driver, perhaps unsurprisingly!

Lastly, there's a reference in maxgui.mod/win32maxguiex.mod/win32maxguiex.bmx to lfget_document that I had to comment out. (EDIT: Just realised that's not a Brucey problem!)

It all builds other than that!

Weirdly, starting with a fresh copy, without rebuilding modules, if I try to build a program it seems to try and build all anyway -- at least, it's failing on lua.mod even though I'm not using it. (Unless some other module depends on it?)

Are you using a different gcc? By default NG should look into its own 'Mingw32' dir. I've never had a problem with the lua mod no building.
Try building it manually with:
"bmk makemods -v -w -g x86 pub.lua"

Edit: I think bcc is currently getting worked on.

I'm seeing this error too with Linux.

Looks like the latest has fixed the issue.

BlitzSupport

(Posted 2016) [#8]

I believe it should all be the latest (just confirmed that bcc is indeed 0.79), as Frisky from bmx-ng.com git-downloads it all -- it also comes with a copy of MinGW (64-bit version, but in a folder called MinGW32 for some reason).

@GW -- no joy from the command-line, either:

It is called "MinGW32" regardless of whether you use the 64bit build or not.

I just compiled bcc.exe from the most current revision available at git. I then recompiled pub.lua ... and it worked (but I got some segfaults / problems with "brl.classes"). Think latest commits borked the whole thing a bit.

try to add "-a" to your commandline to enforce a recompile. Recompilation of modules is needed if BCC[.exe] changes. Else BCC does not see the need to recompile modules (they did not change their code).

(Posted 2016) [#10]

Hmm, just tried with -a added to the above, but still does the same. I'll try manually compiling new bcc and see what happens, though as far as I can tell it's the latest.

BlitzSupport

(Posted 2016) [#11]

OK, just updated to the 3-hours old bcc, and that builds lua now, but it then dies on win32.mod/com.bmx, so I guess Brucey's on it! (Thanks, Brucey!)

Out of interest, think I'll go re-Frisky and see if that builds lua, just to see how current a setup it builds. Man, the things I get up to on a Saturday night!

Derron

(Posted 2016) [#12]

Better than watching soccer EM (England surely enjoyed his draw game ;-)).

Already opened up an issue regarding the compilation issue. Think the latest changes regarding pointer-issues created unwanted complications.

BTW: if you go back some revisions, you should get a working BCC - especially the ones from until end of may.

Derron, *anything* is better than watching soccer. I literally only know who's playing/played because I saw they'd rioted again in France... [EDIT: Turns out I got that wrong, too -- they were playing Russia, where I assumed France!]

I just re-built bmx-ng distro in Frisky and it was able to build lua.mod this time (which shows it's getting the latest versions), though again it fails on win32.mod. Definite progress, though!
