[Wxlua-users] wxLua build on mingw/msys

[Doug C. <dou...@gm...>]

Here are some things I did to build wxLua_Snapshot_2006-08-04.tar.gz
on Windows XP using mingw/msys. I don't pretend that these are the
"right" fixes for wxLua sources. Many are to generated files rather
than source files -- done out of ignorance of the full build process.
Others may interfere with successful builds with other tools or on
different targets. I am reporting them to help those attempting to
build with mingw/msys; maybe the authors/maintainers will find them
useful as well.

I started with an installed wxWidgets 2.6.3 and wxstedit 1.2.1. I
extracted wxLua_Snapshot_2006-08-04.tar.gz and did a
$ ../configure --disable-debug --enable-shared --enable-unicode --enable-wxluaedit-app

configure was unable to find wxstedit; apparently the method the
configure script uses to find wxstedit is not meant for Windows, it
seems to mess up with WXDLLEXPORT. Ignoring that, I did a make. It
proceeds for a while and then fails to compile wx_bind.cpp (this has
been reported earlier on this list as a bug in mingw's gcc 3.4.x).

1. hack wx_bind.cpp after make chokes on it inserting these lines:

#ifdef __MINGW32__
const wxPoint wxDefaultPositionHack = wxDefaultPosition;
const wxSize wxDefaultSizeHack = wxDefaultSize;
#define wxDefaultPosition wxDefaultPositionHack
#define wxDefaultSize wxDefaultSizeHack
#endif

before:

WXLUAOBJECT* wxLuaGetObjectList_wx(size_t &count)

2. in modules/wxluadebug/src/splttree.cpp add:

#ifdef __MINGW32__
#undef UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER
#endif

after includes and before:

static wxTreeItemId defaultTreeItemId;

3. in {my-build}/modules/Makefile add -lws2_32 to WX_LIBS

4. in {my-build}/apps/Makefile change:

WX_RESCOMP =

to:

WX_RESCOMP = windres --include-dir /usr/local/include/wx-2.6

5. in apps/wxlua/src/wxlua.rc  remove "..\\" from icon

6. in {my-build}/apps/Makefile add -lws2_32 to WX_LIBS

7. in apps/wxluacan/src/cansim.rc  remove "..\\" from icon

8. in apps/wxluafreeze/src/wxluafreeze.rc  remove "..\\" from icon

Use the environment variable WXSTEDIT=c:\...\wxstedit
You do have to copy the stedit.lib by hand to the wxLua/lib/xxx lib dir.

Thanks, I've added this code and it should be fixed.

Added.

I'm trying to use cygwin to compile... I'll see about where there
would be a good place to add this. It's on a real slow machine so
maybe it'll be done by tomorrow. :)

We can't hardcode any paths here. I don't know how to fix this, but I
would think that the wx-config script should provide the proper paths.
See #3, I'll see if I need this too.

> 5. in apps/wxlua/src/wxlua.rc  remove "..\\" from icon

This is what it currently is (below), which is correct for the
apps/wxlua/src dir path. What are you suggesting?

lua   ICON   "..\\..\\..\\art\\wxlua.ico"

> 6. in {my-build}/apps/Makefile add -lws2_32 to WX_LIBS

I'll see what happens for me, see #3.

> 7. in apps/wxluacan/src/cansim.rc  remove "..\\" from icon

See #5, exactly what path works?

=======================
Thanks for your work, I'll see what I get for #3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in
cygwin. Is gcc in cygwin the same as the mingw you use?

The error is really just from the line wxDC operator = &wxDC is
private? I've removed the above #undef and just remmed out the line
UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(dc);.

Maybe. --cflags has it, but you'd need to extract it somehow.

$ wx-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/lib/wx/include/msw-unicode-release-static-2.6 -I/usr/local/include/wx-2.6 -D__WXMSW__ -mthreads -DNO_GCC_PRAGMA

Well,

$ wx-config --release
2.6

So, maybe:

WXPREFIX   = $(shell $(WXCONFIG) --prefix)
WXRELEASE  = $(shell $(WXCONFIG) --release)
WX_RESCOMP = windres --include-dir $(WXPREFIX)/include/wx-$(WXRELEASE)

Pretty ugly.

my files () need, e.g., for apps\wxlua\src\wxlua.rc

lua   ICON   "..\\..\\art\\wxlua.ico"

to build without error. This is because the congig generated makefile is in
  wxLua\my-build\apps\Makefile
whereas the hardcoded makefile is in
  wxLua\apps\wxlua\src\Makefile
one level deeper.

I noted that when I later did a build against a static wxWidgets,
$ wx-config --libs
included -lwsock32
...dunno why it was a problem with the DLL version of wxWidgets.

$ wx-config --static=no --libs
-L/usr/local/lib -mthreads -Wl,--subsystem,windows -mwindows
-lwx_mswu_xrc-2.6 -lwx_mswu_qa-2.6 -lwx_mswu_html-2.6
-lwx_mswu_adv-2.6 -lwx_mswu_core-2.6 -lwx_baseu_xml-2.6
-lwx_baseu_net-2.6 -lwx_baseu-2.6

$ wx-config --static=yes --libs
-L/usr/local/lib -mthreads -Wl,--subsystem,windows -mwindows
/usr/local/lib/libwx_mswu_xrc-2.6.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_mswu_qa-2.6.a
/usr/local/lib/libwx_mswu_html-2.6.a
/usr/local/lib/libwx_mswu_adv-2.6.a
/usr/local/lib/libwx_mswu_core-2.6.a
/usr/local/lib/libwx_baseu_xml-2.6.a
/usr/local/lib/libwx_baseu_net-2.6.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_baseu-2.6.a
-lwxregexu-2.6 -lwxexpat-2.6 -lwxtiff-2.6 -lwxjpeg-2.6 -lwxpng-2.6 -lz
-lrpcrt4 -loleaut32 -lole32 -luuid -lwinspool -lwinmm -lshell32
-lcomctl32 -lcomdlg32 -lctl3d32 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32 -lgdi32

So, this looks like a wxWindows build issue.

You're welcome. Thank you for your work!

It should be close.

I'm still trying to get the apps to compile. so I'll look into the
resource problems tomorrow.

Humm, I don't get the libs in static, see below.

I build wxWidgets 2.6.3.3 (cvs head of 2.6 branch) using this

../configure \
--prefix=/mnt/d/wxCVS/wxWidgets/wxWidgets_26/wxWidgets/config_win \
--enable-optimise=no \
--enable-debug=yes \
--enable-debug_gdb=yes \
--enable-mem_tracing=no \
--enable-profile=no \
--with-dmalloc=no \
--enable-prologio=no \
--enable-shared=no ### ALSO THIS TOO

$ wx-config --list
   Default config is msw-ansi-debug-2.6

#NOTE: I've also done static too...

$ wx-config --cxxflags

-D__WXDEBUG__ -D__WIN95__ -D__WXMSW__ -DWXUSINGDLL=1
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES

$ ./wx-config --libs --static=yes
-L/mnt/d/wxCVS/wxWidgets/wxWidgets_26/wxWidgets/config_win_static/lib

-ladvapi32 -lwsock32 -lgdi32 -lkernel32 -luser32

$ wx-config --libs --static=no

-lwx_mswd_adv-2.6 -lwx_mswd_core-2.6 -lwx_based_xml-2.6
-lwx_based_net-2.6 -lwx_based-2.6

So I had to paste the libs you had above into the Makefile in the modules dir.
"-lz -lrpcrt4 -loleaut32 -lole32 -luuid -lwinspool -lwinmm -lshell32
-lcomctl32 -lcomdlg32 -lctl3d32 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32 -lgdi32"

======

This does seem like a bug in the wx-config script for gcc in windows,
I'lll submit a bug report to wxWidgets tomorrow.

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)

Fairly close, but __MINGW32__ is not defined, __GNUWIN32__ is though.

===============

Ok, well this will take a little doing, but gcc in MSW seems fairly
nice and I'd like to get it working.
