Canonical Windows build environment?

Canonical Windows build environment?

[Brandon J. Van Every]

Hi!  What is the canonical Windows build environment on W2K?

I've tried using Cygwin from www.cygwin.com , without success.
Configure works fine.  The 7.4.1 sources fail with errors in win32.c.  I
assume nobody's interested in figuring out why that might be.  :-)  The
CVS sources fail anywhere <Tk.h> get used, it seems it's seeking
<X11/Xlib.h>.  Don't know if that's XConq or Cygwin's TK messing that
up.  As far as I know there's no X11 installation available for Cygwin.

Do I need some screwy mingw flags or something?  My config.guess is
i686-pc-cygwin.  I've also been trying to build Freeciv and found MinGW
from www.mingw.org to be an utter horror to work with.  I gave up and
went with Cygwin.  I am a typical Windoze developer, I can't seem to
wrap my head around the rules and regulations for what kind of .DLLs are
supposed to go where.  That said, I've done the Linux drill back in the
day, I'm far from clueless.  But man, so many loose ends the past 5
days.  In fact, to some degree I think my Linux knowledge has hurt as
much has it has helped, I expected MinGW to be rational and it wasn't!

There is no INSTALL-win file in CVS, nor in 7.4.1 for that matter.
Would be nice if there was one.  Think of all the people who will read
the README, look for the mentioned INSTALL-win, and burst into tears
when it isn't there.  :P-(

You would be better off using the CVS sources.
Or if you want an .exe just to play with, you can grab stuff off 
my Xconq Web site: http://eric_mcdonald.home.comcast.net/xconq

If you have trouble building the Windows Tcl/Tk executable with 
the latest CVS sources, I am actually quite interested to hear....

Are you using the --x-includes flag to tell configure where the 
_correct_ X11 headers can be found?

It's not so bad. We use the MinGW32 mode/subset of Cygwin to build 
the Windows SDL executable....

Yes there is.

But it is there. Please make sure you have checked out a recent 
CVS version.

7.4.1 is three years old and obsolete. To build the Windows app from those
sources you need the equally obsolete cygwin-b20 and also a special hacked
tcltk version for cygwin-b20 (you will get the latter if you check out the
xconq-all module).

That being said, the CVS sources is what you really want to use. The Tk.h
problem is known, it was discussed by Juergen Ruehle and Eric McDonald two
months ago on this list. Eric is doing a major overhaul of the config and
Makefiles. He should be in a better position to answer your specific
questions about mingw support.

An alternative to cygwin/mingw is to use a Windows native build
environment. It is now possible to build xconq for Windows using either
Visual C or CodeWarrior.

I'm using anonymous CVS as per http://sources.redhat.com/xconq/cvs.html
.  When I check out module "xconq," I don't get any Windows stuff at
all.  Ditto checking out "xconq-win."  No INSTALL-win, no xconq/win
directory.  What gives?

My exact login and checkout lines are:

CVSROOT: anonymous@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/xconq (password
authentication)
TCL is available, shell is enabled : help (select and press enter)
cvs -z3 login

cvs -z3 checkout -P xconq (in directory C:\devel)

Is the -z3 significant?  I notice the directions say just -z.  I'm using
WinCVS 1.2.

You and Eric are both right. The INSTALL-win file is there, but since it
has not been added to the modules file, it will not be included in the
checkout. I added some of Eric's recent additions to modules recently,
since the CVS checkouts would not build without them. But INSTALL-win
escaped me.

And this is the only Windows-specific file, since xconq/win has been retired.

Hmmm... Something does appear to be screwed up. I suppose you 
don't have a directory named 'missing' either?

If you view the repository using webCVS (off the Xconq main page), 
you will see that the 'INSTALL-win' file did make it into the 
repository. I thought the webCVS view represented the mainline 
branch of development, but perhaps it doesn't. If so, then it 
would seem that I needed to specify an additional tag or something 
when added 'INSTALL-win' and 'missing'. This could get somewhat 
ugly....  Thanks for noticing it.

Please disregard my previous message. All the new files and 
dirs are available through MAIN and HEAD tags.

Hans, do you want me to fix the 'modules' file in CVSROOT, or are 
you already taking care of that?

Yes. Technically, the xconq-win grouping could probably be removed 
from the 'modules' file.

MSVC build environment?

Ok, using the CVS web interface to look at INSTALL-win, I see a section
on "Building Xconq using MS Visual C++" with a lot of ... blank lines.
Also there are no MSVC project files anywhere in the source tree as far
as I can tell, and as far as you seem to say.  So who is really doing
this?  Is building under MSVC a reality, or a claim?

No one, afaik. I think Hans uses CodeWarrior.

It is not a claim. It _might_ be a reality. :-)

Yep.

Juergen Ruehle posted instructions for how to build xconq under Visual C (I
think those were supposed to go into the empty part of INSTALL-win). I
tested it several months ago just to see if it worked, and it did.

Ok, as per INSTALL-win instructions, I've tried the following with
Cygwin:

./configure --x-includes=/usr/src/tcltk-20030901-1/tk/xlib/X11 --with-tc
lconfig=/lib --with-tkconfig=/lib

I am quite sure that all said paths are typed correctly and that the
appropriate files are present.  This does not solve the Tk.h problem, I
get the same choking, looking for Xlib.h.  Is that expected?  If
expected, is there a workaround?  If there is no workaround, any time
estimate of when the major overhaul of the config and Makefiles will be
completed?

Could you send the error output to the list? I would like to look 
at it, and if Juergen is around, he might also have something to 
say....  The problem with the INSTALL-win document is that it is 
an amalgam of his original doc (which dated back roughly 3 years 
ago and refered to much older packages) and updated information I 
put in. I took the liberty of updating some of his package 
references to newer ones, but did not necessarily verify that said 
packages still behaved in the way the old ones did. I did not hear 
Juergen complain, so I let things be, thinking that I had made 
reasonable assumptions. Have you tried building with the 
ActiveState Tcl/Tk? I have verified that.

It was my intent to verify things Juergen's way someday, and to do 
a purely MinGW32 build. I didn't consider them top priorities 
though, since I think the vast majority of our Windows users are 
interested in prepackaged binaries rather than building Xconq 
themselves.

Not particularly.

I mentioned several weeks ago that the "major surgery" has been 
taken care of. Among other things, this means that the Windows and 
Unix builds of Xconq have been unified.  It doesn't have much to 
do with the Tcl/Tk build per se.

I think you should drop the X11 directory from the include path
because it is included as '#include <X11/Xlib.h>'.

Hoping that helps,

Actually I had tried that way before, and when chasing down Tk.h, it
looked like it wanted just plain tk/xlib.  Wasn't sure exactly.  Neither
way fixes anything.

I have forgotten how to pump both stdout and stderr to the same file.
How do I do that?  I cobbled "make >out.txt" and "make 2>err.txt"
together to get the following, it's tedious.

I have actually built xconq with VC6 introductory edition, but I
didn't reinstall it after the last OS reinstall (and before I did
finish the description). It is actually quite simple:

 - create a new project

 - add all relevant .c and .h files to the project, that is all from
   kernel and tcltk except the files for other platforms and the image
   test app mains

 - add include paths until it preprocesses (I think it needs bitmaps,
   kernel, and the headers from the Tcl/Tk distribution)

 - fix all compile errors (should mostly be fixed, but the occasional
   missing define/struct/function might have crept back in, because
   the VC libc is slightly different from *nix and Code Warrior)

 - add libraries until it links (it needs most of the standard stuff
   and - of course - Tcl/Tk libraries)

 - fiddle with the Tcl and Tk library path until it runs

 - write up a nice description for the INSTALL-win document:-)

I don't know how dificult it is with VS.net.

It depends on which shell you are using. Since you are doing 
things from Cygwin, I am assuming you are using bash, which is the 
default shell in that environment. In this case, you should do:
  >out.txt 2>&1
which tells the shell to redirect stdout to a file, and then do an 
appending redirect of stderr to the redirected stdout. If you do 
things in the reverse order, you will not obtain the desired 
results. For an understanding of why this is, read dup(2), 
dup2(2), and bash(1).

I am curious where "-I/nonexistent/include" is coming from. This 
seems like an odd place. Did you install the Tcl/Tk headers to 
there?

No, I didn't.  I have no idea where it comes from.  I'd hazard a guess
that ./configure generates it.

I wouldn't disagree, but I am curious which @macro@ in the 
Makefile.in files is expanding to this value. Could you please 
send me (via private mail, preferably as attachments) your 
Makefile and tcltk/Makefile?

  Thanks,
