[Greenengine-developer] Problems

[Nado . <cbr...@gm...>]

Ive been running into a lot of problems getting cppunit up and running under
windows.  First off, it seems that there is no way to fully compile the
libraries, unless you have the paid version of VS,  but using MSYS and mingw
it will compile the "important" parts (we may be able to use cygwin to
compile it fully, but id rather not have another program to install if we
can avoid it).

Next up, we may want to change the makefile a little, right now you have it
set up as

CFLAGS = -Wall -I. -I/usr/local/include
LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib

but on windows it will need to be something like

CFLAGS = -Wall -I. -IC:\Qt\cppunit-1.12.0\include-IC:\Boost\include\boost-1_33_1
LDFLAGS = -LC:\Qt\cppunit-1.12.0\lib -LC:\Boost\lib

so we may want something to support those changes easily (although it isnt
of the utmost importance since people can change it manually, but that is a
pain)


And now to the fun part...
when I run make I get this error (it compiles fine, this is the linking
phase):

g++ -o testrunner -LC:\Qt\cppunit-1.12.0\lib -LC:\Boost\lib
util/utest_Error.o engine/utest_Variable.o

engine/utest_InstancePool.o -lcppunit

of which the important part is "variable 'vtable for
CppUnit::TestSuiteBuilderContextBase' can't be auto-imported. Please read
the documentation for ld's --enable-auto-import for details."

and this link (
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/gnu-linker/invocation.html#OPTIONS)
gives some clues as to what is wrong, but how the heck am I supposed
to
get around this???


there are only a couple options I can think of:
1) its screwed up since I didnt compile cppunit fully
2) its screwed up since I used mingw to compile and for some reason it didnt
think it was on windows (thus causing an error that only occurs on windows)

I have no idea what to do next...i guess ill install cygwin next  and see if
that helps,  but I was kinda hoping you guys could throw some ideas my way,
or maybe do a little research and have more luck then me finding some stuff
