Linux compile with 2.60 SDK

[jaybird]

I see the method for compiling on Linux is a little changed. A couple questions about this:

Is this able to make cross-platform binaries (*nix, mac, and win32)?

How do we use the new scripts?

To use the source, you must have gcc 2.95 or greater installed. You must also have scons[1] installed.

1. Type the following commands at a command prompt:
   cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory-sdk
   scons -c
   scons
2. After a few minutes of compiling, you should have cgame, qagame and ui .so files in your directory.

By default, a ‘debug’ build is created, which includes full debugging symbols suitable for use with gdb.
To make a non-debug ‘release’ build, pass the parameter BUILD=release to scons, eg:
scons BUILD=release

You can use the included cross-scons.sh script to build win32 dlls on linux via mingw[2]. You will
need to edit the script to point to the location of your mingw install and mingw binary directories.
Place the cross-scons.sh script someplace in your PATH, such as /usr/local/bin. To build win32 dlls
you would then type ‘cross-scons.sh’ in place of ‘scons’.

Ha guess I should have read the readme first.

The answer’s probably no, but I’m going to ask anyway. Is there any way to compile for Mac from Linux?

It seems there is not.

If it were possible to cross compile for osx (like I can with win32 and mingw), I probably wouldn’t have a mac mini at all…

:moo:

You can use the ppc eumlator PearPC to run OSX / Darwin on Linux:

you’d need to buy a copy of OSX though. since warezing it is illegal and apple’s eula says you can only run it on apple hardware anyway.

might as well buy a mac mini, pearpc is painfully slow even on the fastest machines.

LOL, you just re-convinced me to stay away from Apple stuf

Sorry for reviving an old thread. I have decided to abuse my free time and yours now by installing the SDK for 2.60 and see if I could tinker a bit with it. Now to make sure all things work I decided to follow the Readme and do a compile on the unmodified stuff with scons. It failed (otherwise I wouldn’t be posting here).

Here’s the specifics:

• System is Fedora Core 4 with 2.6.12 SMP kernel on a PIV 2.8
• gcc -v says this:

Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,java,f95,ada --enable-java-awt=gtk --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre --host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)

• running scons -c in /usr/local/games/enemy-territory-sdk/ says this:

scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/__init__.py", line 870, in _main

• appending – release gcc4 or – release gcc3 does not solve that

Any idea what I should be looking for to solve this?

[deej]

stupid me!

chdir src
scons

This might be a little step for any coder, but it’s a big step for me

[jaybird]

LoL. Glad you got it working ;]
