BlitzGUI error after reinstall
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/BlitzGUI error after reinstall
| ||
| I am getting several errors after uninstalling BlitzMax (and deleting the old directory) and then reinstalling the latex BlitzMax and BlitzGUI. I have MinGW properly installed (it was working fine with the old version of BlitzMax that I had). I am able to build all the modules, except the BlitzGUI modules, and when I try to compile something with a GUI, I get this: C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/win32maxgui.mod/win32maxgui.release.win32.x86.a(panel.cpp.release.win32.x86.o):panel.cpp:(.text+0xa1): undefined reference to `bbObjectRetain' C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/win32maxgui.mod/win32maxgui.release.win32.x86.a(panel.cpp.release.win32.x86.o):panel.cpp:(.text$_ZN10BBGraphicsD1Ev[__ZN10BBGraphicsD1Ev]+0x11): undefined reference to `bbObjectRelease' C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/win32maxgui.mod/win32maxgui.release.win32.x86.a(panel.cpp.release.win32.x86.o):panel.cpp:(.text$_ZN10BBGraphicsD0Ev[__ZN10BBGraphicsD0Ev]+0x11): undefined reference to `bbObjectRelease' C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/win32maxgui.mod/win32maxgui.release.win32.x86.a(gui.cpp.release.win32.x86.o):gui.cpp:(.text+0x52f): undefined reference to `bbObjectRetain' C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/win32maxgui.mod/win32maxgui.release.win32.x86.a(graphics.cpp.release.win32.x86.o):graphics.cpp:(.text+0x50): undefined reference to `bbObjectRetain' Build Error: Failed to link C:/Users/Rex Rhino/Desktop/Projects/Space Game/space.exe When I add this to the code: Import MaxGui.Drivers I get this error message: Compile Error: Duplicate identifier 'TIconStrip' in modules 'maxgui.maxgui' and 'brl.maxgui' [C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/win32maxgui.mod/win32maxgui.release.win32.x86.i;268;1] Build Error: failed to compile C:/Users/Rex Rhino/Desktop/Projects/Space Game/space.bmx Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? I also notice that the IDE isn't finding MinGW (although all the enviornmental variables are set up, and it can use it properly except for the Rebuild Modules options). |

| The new MaxGUI was moved from the BRL namespace to its own, MaxGUI. So you should remove all the GUI modules from brl.mod, or do a clean install of brl.mod and not copy into it the MaxGUI folders. |

| From what I understand, there are currently no GUI modules in brl.mod. I did a clean install of the latest version, deleting the old BlitzMax folder after uninstalling and before reinstalling. I checked the brl.mod directory, and couldn't find any subfolder that looked anything like maxgui. In fact, I searched my HD for "maxgui", and the only place "maxgui" exists is the mod directory. The "BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/win32maxgui.mod" referenced in the error message does not exist on my computer, yet I am still getting the message. That is why it is so weird, and why I posted the question... /BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/win32maxgui.mod does not exist on my computer, yet I get this error message! |

| Maybe you have to turn off quick build, as there could be references in the precompiled assemblies. |

| OK, I figured it out, but it is pretty weird: There was a folder on the computer called "C:\Users\Rex Rhino\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\BlitzMax", and for some reason BlitzMax was using that folder for its mod directory, instead of the directory in the "C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/mod/"... and for some reason it was classified as a hidden system file, so it wasn't showing up in the search. I deleted the folder, and now everything works fine! (except for MaxIDE still doesn't see MinGW... but it compiles fine so it isn't that big of a deal). Thanks for your help Brucey! |

| It's much better to install BlitzMax outside the program files folder (the installed defaults to c:\blitzmax) If you install it on your program files folder, windows will virtualize most of the mod files, and you could have this kind of issues frequently. |
