Re: [Greenengine-developer] Problems

[Jeremy B. <bel...@gm...>]

First of all, the Makefile should only support unixy build environments, 
including mingw and possibly cygwin environments, which when you install 
boost and cppunit put them in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib in 
the virtual filesystem they run in. So the Makefile should work as is. I 
did get it running ok with mingw, but in cygwin I got the same error you 
did. So I guess I'm having the opposite problem as you? :P
(reading the link you sent)
Try sending the options -enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc and 
-enable-extra-pe-debug and seeing if that works (or gives more 
information). Based on the documentation it looks like this is due to a 
limitation of the linker on windows with respect to DLL files. That's 
all I can tell so far. Their suggestions for fixing it require changes 
in code. The first option says it requires some special run-time 
features, so I don't know if those are present in mingw/cygwin. The 
other problem is even if those flags work, they are specific to the x86 
hosted version of the linker, so it won't work on my mac (or it might 
give an ugly warning). If there is some way to conditionally make for 
different platforms, without using autoconf and such, that would be good.

Oh, and the QT stuff should be limited to the IDE, which should have its 
own Makefile separate from the rest of the engine. So you can put in any 
include flags you like! :D

Cheers,
Jeremy

PS: I may add some files to the repository just to get them on there 
since I'm cross-developing on my linux virtual machine, windows mingw, 
and my mac, and it's hard to transfer files manually every time I 
switch, so I'm using cvs even though they aren't done yet. 
InstancePool.h is done though!
