Title: need help compiling on Linux
Post by: lnxr0x on January 12, 2013, 17:00:00

I'm currently trying to compile Odamex on Debian (squeeze) and getting the following error.

Code: [Select]

Linking CXX executable odamast
[ 94%] Built target odamast
[ 94%] Generating res/xrc_resource.h
/bin/sh: wxWidgets_wxrc_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND: not found
make[2]: *** [odalaunch/res/xrc_resource.h] Error 127
make[1]: *** [odalaunch/CMakeFiles/odalaunch.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I believe WxWidgets is installed:
libwxgtk2.8-dev is already the newest version.

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

There are two components to wx, the main build and wxrc.  If you are installing these all from packages, perhaps wxrc is a separate package.

It looks like the cmake script is referring to /bin/wxrc but on Debian wxrc is in /usr/bin.

Is there a way I can tell cmake to look in /usr/bin for wxrc  ??

Try this:

Code: [Select]

cmake .. -DwxWidgets_wxrc_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wxrc
You can also set this variable from within cmake-gui or ccmake if you prefer.

Unfortunately, Debian ships with an older version of wxWidgets which doesn't recognize the wxIntPtr type.  Apparently it's a wxWidgets 2.9-ism that was backported to a more recent version of wxWidgets 2.8...more recent than the copy included with Debian, apparently.

I have a headless debian box, and was able to get the program to compile by opening up odalaunch/src/lst_custom.cpp and putting the following line below all of the other #include lines but above the rest of the file:

Code: [Select]

typedef long int wxIntPtr;
See if that works for you.  I'll ping our launcher maintainer with this issue and get his take on it.

That did the trick !! Sorry for the delayed response, been busy. The only thing I couldn't do was get "make install" to work, so I just put the binaries in their own directory and everything works great.

Thanks for the help !!

Thank you for answering HeX9109. I didn't see it before. Finally, I compiled successfully.
