convincing GiGi to build with other gcc

After an hour or three compiling I got the debug executables and ran it throught gdb, I really have no idea how this works or what it tells:

I can't help myself and looked into this error myself. The error seems to appear from basic_string.h which is not a FO or GG file but an include file. I have two of these files on my system, one in /usr/include/c++/3.3/bits and one in /usr/include/c++/4.0.3/bits ..... And I am using the 4.0 version.
What kind of compiler do you guys use?

Do just what you did before, but when it stops with a segfault, type 'bt' (for 'backtrace'), and post the resulting stack trace. Thanks.

Hmm useful stuff these debuggers.

Well, since the code indicated is pretty inocuous, how about posting the result of 'ldd freeorion'? It looks like you've got a mixed-compiler system, which is a recipe for disaster when compiling c++ code.

And I hope you are right. I did have to compile log4cpp with gcc 3.3, 4.0 would not do it and return a bunch of errors.

harm · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2006 12:26 pm

Alright forget it people. I give up. It tried to compile log4cpp with gcc4.0 and for that I had to remove a bug in Manipulator.h (I think), something with namespace. That worked(!). No matter anyway because GiGi now failed to configure with:

Code:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Configuring for POSIX system...
Checking for C++ header file boost/shared_ptr.hpp... yes
Checking Boost version >= 1.33.1... yes
Looking for boost lib boost_signals... 
Checking for boost::signals::connection() in C++ library boost_signals... yes
Looking for boost lib boost_filesystem... 
Checking for boost::filesystem::initial_path() in C++ library boost_filesystem... yes
Boost configuration... ok
Checking for C header file pthread.h... yes
Checking for pthread_create() in C library pthread... yes
Checking for C header file GL/gl.h... yes
Checking for C header file GL/glu.h... yes
Checking for glBegin() in C library GL... yes
Checking for gluLookAt() in C library GLU... yes
Checking for sdl-config... yes
Checking SDL version >= 1.2.7... yes
Linking SDL/OpenGL test app... failed
SDL configuration... failed

I tried with_sdl and the like and that didn't work (never sure if I did that correctly ofcourse). I have

Code:

ii  libsdl-image1.2                1.2.4-1                     image loading library for Simple DirectMedia
ii  libsdl-mixer1.2                1.2.6-1.1+b1                mixer library for Simple DirectMedia Layer 1

ii  libsdl1.2debian                1.2.9-0.1                   Simple DirectMedia Layer
ii  libsdl1.2debian-all            1.2.9-0.1                   Simple DirectMedia Layer (with all available
ii  libsmpeg-dev                   0.4.5+cvs20030824-1.7       SDL MPEG Player Library - development files
ii  libsmpeg0                      0.4.5+cvs20030824-1.7       SDL MPEG Player Library - shared libraries

installed for the next daring debian user.

This whole trip through gdb/ldd/ldconfig and libraries was at the very least very educational. I wish I had more time to spend on learning this whole FO/GG/C++/SCONS thing.

PS does this boost restriction still holds (have to have 1.32)? [/code]

harm · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2006 5:19 pm

I really shouldn't have spend so much time on it but I finally compiled and ran it! The down side was I was behind a 800x600 monitor and freeorion requires 1024x768.... well that was a bit of a disappointment. I'll see if I can get something about that on the WIki.
The final solution was that I compiled log4cpp with g++3.3 and the rest with 4.0. That didn't really work and resulted in seg faults. But thank you guy for putting me on the right track!

harm · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2006 6:50 pm

I summarized my experiences from the past days in http://freeorion.org/index.php/User:Harm/Debian
I believe it will be helpful to others.

Thanks again for all the help.

FreeOrion can run on 800x600, it's just that things may be missing. Edit config.xml to change the resolution.

And I hope you are right. I did have to compile log4cpp with gcc 3.3, 4.0 would not do it and return a bunch of errors.

We have a winner! This is the source of all your problems. When you call code built with GCC 4.x from code built with GCC 3.x, the results are undefined. You are seeing undefined the results. Notice that you are linking to libstdc++.so.5 AND libstdc++.so.6. This means no matter what you do, things will be buggy. You must link to one or the other. That means you need to build everything with GCC 3.3 or GCC 4.0, and cannot run code together compiled with a mixture of the two.

Uhm, I don't have such a file in my FO root dir or subdirs.

Code:

 
find . -name "*.xml"  
./default/buildings.xml
./default/credits.xml

./default/data/art/planets/planets.xml
./default/empire_colors.xml

Run FO and then change an option in the Options menu, then exit the program. config.xml should be created.

I also think you used to be able to do

freeorion -g

to generate config.xml, but I'm not sure if this still works.

Probably you don't want to hear this but I strongly recommend NOT using the -g commandline option. It did not generate a config.xml and now FO seg faults whenever I push a button. BTW changing an option and exiting didn't create a config.xml either.

Running it again with -g does not seg fault, I just found out.

my bad. I expected it in my root dir of FO. But I see it is dropped in my personal home dir in .freeorion.
