Unable to compile LDGLite 1.0.7 from Source on SuSe Linux

Having downloaded and unzipped the 1.0.7 source from SourceForge (and having had similar errors trying the version recommended on the LDraw getting started guide), I am having difficulty getting it to build.

At first, when I was building, it was complaining about a redefinition of the implicit declaration of the ”translate_color” function, which I have remedied by moving the one explicit declaration (with the extern) up to the top of the main.c file.

It is now complaining of syntax errors in the osmesa.h file:

My compiler, and osmesa details:

What is annoying is that the version of GCC states it is a “prerelease”, and yet is actually the only one available from Yast (the SuSe package management).

I note that I can find the macro for GLAPI, but not GLAPIENTRY (although there is one APIENTRY) in gl.h. Since it is this area in the osmesa.h that the compiler is erroring out on, it may be unlikely to actually be a problem with the compiler itself, and maybe to do with the xorg mesa devel package having a broken gl.h or osmesa.h (I would define referring to a non-existant macro as broken).

So I did some further investigation:

rpm -V --file /usr/include/GL/gl.h
S.5....T   /usr/include/GL/gl.h
S.5....T   /usr/include/GL/glext.h
S.5....T   /usr/include/GL/glx.h
S.5....T   /usr/include/GL/glxext.h

Hmm - interesting, osmesa.h is still from the rpm, but a bunch of other GL includes have been replaced - likely culprit - NVidia. Just as I had began to suspect.

So I double checked the files themselves. Behold - at the top of the files:

** Copyright 1998-2002, NVIDIA Corporation.
** All Rights Reserved.

Now, I have looked for NVidia on the lugnet forums, and found this http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=9758. I was not prepared to try the CVS version yet, or comment out the Offscreen rendering. So my other idea was to move the NVidia gl files to a temporary location, and reinstall the mesa devel libraries, then recompile.

This actually builds, but when running it I was greeted with:

And it does not actually render a thing, although I can happily change the background colours. My next attempt is to put the NV headers back, and take out the OffScreen rendering as per the earlier thread. This was acheived by commenting out from the makefile so I have:

UnComment this to build in support for Mesa Offscreen rendering
# This needs (namespace?) fixing to work with GLX mesa.
#OFFSCREEN_FLAGS=-DOSMESA_OPTION
#OFFSCREEN_LIBS= -lOSMesa

So did a make clean (with -f makefile.linux - it would be great to capture some of this be in a ./configure script?), and a make and it built. At least I thought so - but it was still not showing a thing. And still complained:

freeglut (ldglite): Unable to create direct context rendering for window ...

So furthar on the instructions of the thread, I grabbed the CVS daily snapshop version. Try make -f makefile.linux.

I got the error I saw earlier:

main.c: In function ‘setBackgroundColor’:
main.c:2431: error: incompatible implicit declaration of function  ‘translate_color’
main.c:1453: error: previous implicit declaration of ‘translate_color’ was  here

Which is easily solved by pulling the extern def to the top of the file.

Next error was:

In file included from main.c:1023:
L3Def.h:237: error: ‘_MAX_PATH’ undeclared here (not in a function)
L3Def.h:254: error: syntax error before ‘Rgbs’

And also:

main.c:3005:20: error: stdafx.h: No such file or directory

Hmm - isnt this a windows file, crept into the linux build?

Solving the _MAX_PATH first, this is defined only for turbo c. I take it this is a definition that is expected to be available building on windows and not using turboC, but my environment doesnt seem to have it.

There are many, many ifdefs here, and it may be in the interests of maintainability to put a comment on the #endif’s and #else’s to say which ifdef they belong to - this is especially pertinent if they are nested, and span over multiple screenfulls of code. It would also be a good plan to put the rats nest of platform specific defs elsewhere, or into the makefile, and use a configure script to sort it out.

I give _MAX_PATH an arbitrary value of 1024 to keep it happy, as an else on the ifdef TURBOC and also an else on the first ifdef L3P.

#else
#define _MAX_PATH 1024

Which then gives the new error:

In file included from main.c:1025:
L3Def.h:257: error: syntax error before ‘Rgbs’
L3Def.h:257: warning: data definition has no type or storage class

Line 257 is:

extern COLORREF      Rgbs[];

The definition for COLORREF is DWORD, which is furthar defined as unsigned long, but only ifdef L3P. This is interesting - why is this file being built to depend on parts that only exist with ifdef L3P with parts that arent constrained by the ifdef? Okay - I put -DL3P into the linux.makefile and try again. This multiplied into some new errors:

In file included from main.c:1025:
L3Def.h:46: error: duplicate ‘short’
L3Def.h:46: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
L3Def.h:47: error: duplicate ‘unsigned’
L3Def.h:47: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
L3Def.h:48: error: duplicate ‘unsigned’
L3Def.h:48: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
L3Def.h:48: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
L3Def.h:50: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
L3Def.h:51: warning: useless type name in empty declaration

Now could some of these problems be down to the fact that L3Defs is included late in Main.c and potentially twice depending on defines? The main.c almost seems to be two files, with a large ifdef windows section which I would advise pulling out into a file and including when appropriate. Okay - before I get in too deep (might be a bit late for that) - its become pretty clear why the version on the daily is not suitable for release, and that its time to back off.

I can probably run the precompiled win binary in wine (that might need to be transgaming), but that really doesnt suit my purposes. Does anyone have any ideas?

My other big question, is after having a fairly good look at the source, and with the last check in at around 8 months ago, is it still being maintained? Don? Had I the time, I would volunteer myself.
