I think it's time we made another PLIB release. There have been quite a few bug fixes and minor enhancements since last time. Unless anyone has any burning issues, I'll cut a release from the current CVS tomorrow evening (that's Wednesday 11th Jan). ---------------------------- Steve Baker ------------------------- HomeEmail: <sjb...@ai...> WorkEmail: <sj...@li...> HomePage : http://www.sjbaker.org Projects : http://plib.sf.net http://tuxaqfh.sf.net http://tuxkart.sf.net http://prettypoly.sf.net -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GCS d-- s:+ a+ C++++$ UL+++$ P--- L++++$ E--- W+++ N o+ K? w--- !O M- V-- PS++ PE- Y-- PGP-- t+ 5 X R+++ tv b++ DI++ D G+ e++ h--(-) r+++ y++++ -----END GEEK CODE BLOCK----- |

I just applied the two patches from the FreeBSD ports tree that are
required to unbreak the build on FreeBSD 5.3. The patch to jsBSD.cxx is
ugly and I'd have rewritten it if I had the couple of hours required to
do it in autoconf and verify the change at least won't break Linux. But
the patch works and it does unbreak the build, and it's isolated so it
won't break other platforms. I've made a mental note to clean it up when
I'm bored.
I did not apply the patch to src/ssg/ssgDList.cxx; it adds a large chunk
of code to implement an _ssgMatrixStack class and I've got no clue what
it's for -- any takers?
As Martin observed, the patch for netSocket.cxx was already in plib for
quite a while.
Counter to popular belief, FreeBSD 5.3 does not fix the pthread issue.
I've narrowed it down a bit. I've installed a plain-jane build of cvs
plib with --prefix=/usr/local/cvs-plib . When I build ttt3d with
#!/bin/sh
prefix=/usr/local/cvs-plib
env LDFLAGS="-L$prefix/lib" \
CPPFLAGS="-I$prefix/include" \
./configure --prefix=$prefix --with-GL=/usr/X11R6
gmake
the resulting binary dies with
FATAL: ssgInit called without a valid OpenGL context.
When I configure ttt3d with
#!/bin/sh
prefix=/usr/local/cvs-plib
env LDFLAGS="-pthread -L$prefix/lib" \
CPPFLAGS="-pthread -I$prefix/include" \
./configure --prefix=$prefix --with-GL=/usr/X11R6
gmake
it runs just fine.
The good news is that (a) the FreeBSD port's patch to take out the check
is not needed, (b) we probably have an answer to people who claim it is,
and (c) that a default build of plib works fine if the app is linked
properly (I can only surmise that it's the linking with -lc_r that is
implicit in compiling with -pthread that "fixes" it; I've still got no
clue what actually _causes_ the problem).
Anyway, when all is said and done, I think we're golden. I'm pretty
convinced that I didn't break anything, but I'll be watching my mailbox
like a hawk during the release period.
Cheers,
-- Bert

It would be nice to give users a few days util the changes have shown up in anonymous CVS and give them a chance to test against their favourite application, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Could everyone who has added significant features or fixed bugs since PLIB 1.8.3 (April 2004) please update the CVS version of the 'ChangeLog' file (and also make sure they are mentioned in 'AUTHORS'). ---------------------------- Steve Baker ------------------------- HomeEmail: <sjb...@ai...> WorkEmail: <sj...@li...> HomePage : http://www.sjbaker.org Projects : http://plib.sf.net http://tuxaqfh.sf.net http://tuxkart.sf.net http://prettypoly.sf.net -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GCS d-- s:+ a+ C++++$ UL+++$ P--- L++++$ E--- W+++ N o+ K? w--- !O M- V-- PS++ PE- Y-- PGP-- t+ 5 X R+++ tv b++ DI++ D G+ e++ h--(-) r+++ y++++ -----END GEEK CODE BLOCK----- |

For those without CVS access, you can download the 1.8.4 release
candidate from:

Bert promised to apply _two_ patches but in fact he only applied one. I really don't understand why this is soooo difficult: A patch is present, it has been mentioned several times, it is _obvious_ that the patch is necessary in order to build PLIB on recent FreeBSD RELEASEs, someone promised to apply the patch, the ChangeLog has already been updated accordingly - but the patch did never get in. So please apply this patch or don't pretend that the package builds cleanly on FreeBSD.

I also spun a release candidate for the PLIB examples:

If you have time: try a build with mipspro on irix. For me, this doesnt work (many errors of all sorts, mainly in net code). But I doubt the quality of my mipspro installation, so if someone else could do an irix test... I used: bram@vger:~$ CC -v MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.41 On an Onyx4. bram |

Try this one after running 'configure': #!/bin/bash for i in `find . -type f -name Makefile`; do echo -e ",s/-Dsocklen_t=int//g\nwq" | ed $i done Works fine with MIPSpro-7.4.1, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

The patch against ./src/sl/slPortability.h is missing and required for FreeBSD-5.3 - and according to the CVS browser the file has been unchanged for 19 months. Unfortunately there is no plib-cvslogs mailing list to track such changes, Thanks, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
