[Solved] Error while compiling svn-sources

[ElFuego]

Hi all,

first to the devs: Great work & THX!!! I had some really nice ours with the game.

But now to my problem: I downloaded the sources (description from wiki used) from the svn-repository (using eclipse, the whole trunk folder with the option head revision). Then i made the normal steps ./autogen.sh, ./configure and jam in the mk/linux dir. While compiling i got the following error:

Do i have downloaded the wrong sources? Or do i need to apply a patch? Or what else could have gone wrong?

Many thanks in advance.

You need this patch. It got lost in forum crash.

THX for the fast help. I'll try it as soon as i have some time left. I want to compile it by myself so that i can look at the code and maybe can help develope the game in the near future.

@EDIT: I have now managed to compile it. The patch wasn't working, but i changed it by hand.

Good to know.

oh crud balls..  

This fixed one problem for me.. but not all of them

..which means..

so the problem seems to be in conversion.cpp   ... this is where I wish I new C++..

[Yggdrasil]

You need to include stdlib.

#include <cstdlib>
Add it after the other includes nearly at the top of 'conversion.cpp', e.g. under cstdio.

Hello, I have the same, maybe it's me who once reported the patch. I just want to say that these should be commited into trunk !! It is very annoying to need to re-fix these errors after doing an svn-update ...

[hailstone]

Is this a problem in Glest Advanced Engine?

[martiño]

All this stuff should now be fixed in the official SVN, can anyone double check that it compiles fine on Linux?

[Yggdrasil]

Revision 188 builds and runs fine with gcc 4.2.4.

[titi]

I checked out and tested Revision 190 (glest 3.2.1?)  today.
It works( no big testing yet) and compiles perfectly in ubuntu 8.04 with gcc version
gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)
