[SOLVED] Fail Using CMake on Windows

[ChupaReaper]

I decided to try and compile GAE for once after reading something about bump maps in GAE which I wanted to see (and some of my models in my project already have bump maps lying about my hard drive).

I managed to get git going and downloaded everything following the windows guide. (I'm using win7 64bit).
Opened CMake, added the GAE_WINDEPS entry, then configured, I keep getting this problem with both Visual Studio 9 and 10:

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
I downloaded all the dependencies (only downloaded base at first and it didn't work then I thought maybe the widgets were needed from the tools dependencies due to the new GUI using widgets?) Eventually I ended up downloading all the dependencies and still no luck.

Edit: I think I've found a solution, I've downloaded Doxygen and that "NOT found" problem has gone, I'm getting the latest libxml2 now using git and gonna try whacking that in and see if it compiles then...

Glew is a new dependency for the shaders. The deps on sourceforge must not have been updated yet.

Download from https://sourceforge.net/projects/glew/files/glew/1.5.8/glew-1.5.8-win32.zip/download
Extract to the windeps folder.
In CMAKE open GLEW section and point GLEW_LIBRARY to %Your deps location%/glew-1.5.8/lib/glew32.lib
Point GLEW_INCLUDE_DIR to %Your deps location%/glew-1.5.8/include
Copy the dll in glew-1.5.8/bin to your game folder
Press configure again and then generate

It should work now.

Configuring done! Thanks a lot!
Still missing LibXml2 though but seems ok: "Could NOT find LibXml2 (missing:  LIBXML2_LIBRARIES LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR)"

Opened in Visual 10 and building now, looks like it's going to work, thanks for the help.

Still missing LibXml2 though but seems ok: "Could NOT find LibXml2 (missing:  LIBXML2_LIBRARIES LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR)"

Yeah, that's normal/OK

Yeah, that's normal/OK

Yeah, that's only needed for the xml<->g3d utilities.

Ok, glad I don't need to worry about that, but, with it all built, it crashes on startup with this:

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

I've copied the extra png graphics for the menu, not sure if there's anything else I'm missing though.

What are GAE_DATA_DIR and GAE_CONFIG_DIR set to in CMake ??

Ahhh crap! I forgot to change then after clearing the cache when I was trying to get it all to work! I'll have to redo it all in the morning, am going to sleep now lol tis 02am here!

[ChupaReaper]

Success, all working, only I'm going to now see if it can get the data and config paths to be relative of the .exe rather than a root location.

This is fine, you can even leave GAE_CONFIG_DIR empty if you like, and it will use the 'default' location (in your user dir).

Only thing you might trip up on is if you are launching the executable from within visual studio, you will need to set the 'working directory' first, this is mentioned at the end of the compile guide.

[ChupaReaper]

Yea I have the working directory set up all fine. I set the data directory to "..\share\glestae" and it works fine, shortcuts working fine also.
I have some mega lag straight away in game at 128 now, so I'm going to have a clean up, I think my mod is just a big memory eater lol.

Well, yes... I think your mod is a horrible devourer of system resources  But in this case, it's probably just that the default 'build config' is set to debug, if you haven't changed this you will get a very slow executable.



Change this to 'Release' to strip out debug symbols & assertions, and optimise the generated code.

Edit: Oh, and you will need to set the working directory again (this is kept per build config).

[ChupaReaper]

Ahh, that'll explain it lol, well that's a relief! It is a memory hungry mod but good for err... stress testing the engine.
