  3. Problems building DarkRadiant on Archlinux from git

    in TDM Tech Support

    Posted

    So, after my changes to void Document::importDocument(Document& other, Node& importNode) its end looks as follows:

     

      if (/*targetNode->children == NULL*/ targetNode->name == NULL) {
			// invalid importnode
			return;
	}  
   std::size_t i = 0;  
   if( targetNode->children == NULL )
	xmlAddChild(targetNode, xmlCopyNode(topLevelNodes[i++].getNodePtr(), 2));

	// Add each of the imported nodes to the target importNode
	while( i < topLevelNodes.size() )
		xmlAddPrevSibling(targetNode->children, topLevelNodes[i++].getNodePtr());

     

    If DR works fine on some other system it could be that on that system some initialization has created those children before comming to this function ...

     

    ps: i am using the latest code from https://github.com/orbweaver/DarkRadiant.git , commit ID: c5c872b26a1284a947066c2682ff6a411f6beedd

    Ok, the problem seems to be as follows:

    Document::importDocument assumes importNode to have children already but in the beginning it is wrong (targetNode->children == NULL)!

    Therefore it never even tries to create/add newly imported nodes with xmlAddPrevSibling.

     

    Update: Ok, it seems that i fixed that one... and can see the UI mostly constructed...

    but now I get NULL out of "GlobalMainFrame().getToolbar(IMainFrame::TOOLBAR_HORIZONTAL);" in void SelectionSetManager::onRadiantStartup().

     

    Blimey!

     

    Update: ok, after adding some sanity checks/ifs it actually runs fine if one takes care to delay autosaving in the initial setup dialog...

    Well, does the following path setup seem fine for TDM?

     

    Let's say that SOME_PATH/anything/ contains the "thedarkmod.app/" (directory name 'anything' is not relevant).

     

    Then:

    SOME_PATH/darkmod/ is expected to contain TDM resources and SOME_PATH/base/ may contain D3 resources,

    $HOME/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod/ is used ONLY for downloading/saving/loading fms

    and contains the only relevant 'currentfm.txt' which appears there after "Install Mission"

     

    But: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod and $HOME/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/base are not used for searching resources.

    Well, the twist is that you actually need the whole .app directory instead of a single executable as for Linux.

     

    In the future one could also consider to try adapting the Linux code base to work under Mac OSX and thus get rid of that Apple Application Bundle but that would be quite a challenge as one would have to deal with XServer intead of using the Apple GUI frameworks, and XServer may even be absent on a host.

    @malex,

     

    Could you explain what each of the files does in the new folder thedarkmod.app? Are any of them needed in a TDM release for running on OSX, or is this just a place to house stuff?

     

    What is the name of the executable for OSX?

     

    What is the name of the DLL for OSX?

     

    I need to make changes to tdm_update so it understands TDM on OSX.

     

    OSX native applications always look like that, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_bundle

    The DLL extension specific to OSX is .dylib but .so also often appears for some shared modules.

    Like in Unix - no special executable extension in favor of a file system attribute. That is why please consider it to be just a Linux with a twist that one has a whole .app directory instead of a single executable.

     

    What is your deployment concept? What resources do you expect to be present on host system and where?

     

    Note that putting thedarkmod.app directly into /darkmod/ would not work right now...

    But it is easy to change to make the application look for resources similar to the Linux variant. Would it be appropriate? What is the expected resource locations and their directory structures under Linux?

    Welcome karlfox! Thanks for your interest in testing TDM under OSX.

    I would assume that you might need to checkout the drkmod SVN repo, which is rather huge to share in any other way...

    Other than that I could of course share my binaries directly but

    1. they will be probably useless without that checkout(?)

    2. being new here I would rather wait somebody from the TDM team to state their preferences concerning this. Guys?

    I still run my powerbook G4 here at home and would test on it if PPC builds were available, but if it's easier / more efficient to focus on intel based builds then I probably wouldn't worry about PPC at this point.

     

    Ok then I will try to produce them next. What Mac OS X do you use?

     

    Update: I built release fat universal binaries for min. 10.5 and put them to the darkmod SVN repo.

    Ok guys, I am happy to say that I have Release binaries and after finding a workaround for my *mission install* problems I managed to load and play a mission (outpost) as well as several usual maps (snow, rain)!

     

    Unfortunately the build seems to be very fragile and often shuts down due to segmentation faults right before the end of mission loading :'(

     

    Ps: curiously enough it seems that the tilde ("~") key does not trigger the console in this build...

    Only release builds should go into SVN, debug builds are of little use for the rest of the team, and they are slow and huge in size.

     

    Well then I am preparing a Release/i386/10.6 build now and will send it to you once I am satisfied with it (I noticed dependencies on global host libraries in what I had).

    Do you think I should rather build fat binaries with PPC or support OS X variants earlier to 10.6?

     

    Besides I am curious about where all the stuff under Doom 3.app/Contents/ should go?..

     

    It's probably best to open a thread in the TDM Development forum to discuss the path issues with taaaki. There have been a few changes to the filesystem handling which should make things simpler.

    Ok

    Besides I have built the default configs only and there were some debug builds involved (i guess that is why I could see the failed assertion).

     

    I bet the end users would be more interested in pure release builds while beta testers should better see more debug / assertion output.

    How do you usually handle the binary distribution for testing? Do you put different builds into different SVN repositories?

    Seems ok to me.

    I can look into rebuilding them, but it was a bit of a hassle. What kind of problems do they lead to exactly?

     

    Just as described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6087292/bad-codegen-pointer-diff-in-boost-error-in-32-bit-build

     

    Except for the fact that FAT32 is a bit outdated and fragile, no, the filesystem should not be of importance.

     

    Well, I got some strange things reported by "svn status" directly after checkout, e.g. In guis/readables/:

    ? MARBLE~3.GUI

    ! marble_world.gui

     

    A mission download cannot be triggered through the console, but you can click yourself through the menus, or just run the training mission which needs to be mentioned in currentfm.txt, either by installing it through the menu GUI or by editing the currentfm.txt manually: it should contain training_mission.

     

    Oh, I tried that without any luck - see also my previous post.

     

    You can also push the binaries to SVN, the ones you have are better than what we have now (== nothing).

     

    Well, I am not quite sure about their correct locations =(

    what if send them ('Doom 3.app/*' and game.dylib) to you?

    Note that you can also load a mission via the consola via:

     

    map MAPNAMEHERE

     

    Replace MAPNAMEHERE with the map name, e.g. "training_mission" (w/o quotes) or "test/window.map".

     

    If you look into quick checks, you can also put the same command into a file called autocommands.cfg in your darkmod folder, everytime you launch TDM, it will execute the commands in there after loading the menu. Adding a "quit" as secone line would load the mission, then immidiately quit.

     

    (If you want to get rid of that later, delete the file)

     

    Thanks a lot! That did the trick. I can start and play any *map* with that!!!

     

    Unfortunately I still cannot install or run any *mission*: even through currentfm.txt contains it (and it is present under fms/ directory) - there is no currently installed mission detected by "New Mission" starting screen...

     

    Moreover even. "map MISSION" did not work - although I can list all the maps (with TAB) - no missions can be seen there.

     

    It seems that some search locations are wrong... Do you have a list of conventions for resource search locations? Can I view them via console?

    I would guess that TDM get confused by $HOME/Library/Application Support/Doom 3 even after I emptied it.

     

    Beside that I noticed textures missing on some maps (I only tried test/tree, rain, snow maps for now).

    At least once the application crashed due to DecodeOGG (there was a failed assert in sound/snd_decoder.cpp:517).

    Greebo, thank for pointing out your Xcode projects.

     

    I don't know Xcode well enough to be able to tell whether it's providing a command line interface. Xcode is using g++ in the background, but that's as far as my knowledge gets.

     

    Well, actually it tends to use clang nowadays, which also provides frontends linked under the usual names - gcc and g++ :/

    The command I was looking for is xcodebuild. Using it I was able to produce 'Doom 3.app' and 'game.dylib' much more quickly than via scons. But my previous experience with the scons scripts helped me to resolve similar building problems.

     

    Now I have two sets of built binaries to choose from =) Curiosly enough the both sets behave the same way.

     

    I Noted that the static boost libraries committed to svn seems to be built with -fvisibility=default which leads to quite a problem on newer OS X and Xcode. I'd recommend rebuilding them with the same settings as used in the project.

     

    Nope, you need a set of files from darkmod/, basic materials, defs, GUIs, scripts and such. It's probably faster to check out a full 1.08 copy from SVN.

     

    Thanks. But please do warn about the size of such a checkout!

     

    Besides, does it matter if I place it on fat32?

     

    I checked it out under the name darkmod and put my 'Doom 3.app' alongside it.

    Additionally I replaced the game.dylib in one of the pk4 data files with my versions of it.

     

    Finally It runs: the GUI with ambient music and mission downloading seems to work!!!

     

    It would be nice to check the play mode now. Can I force a mission loading and starting from the d3 console or via command line?

     

    The problem is that I am having trouble installing (and therefore) playing any of downloaded maps.

    Also the installation-relaunch hides the mouse pointer but shows again the starting launch dialog.

    No matter what I do (I also tried running executables with the usual Doom arguments) - 'New Mission' never shows any mission being currently installed =(

    Besides there are no visible items in the list of installed mission but I blindly click there and choose them anyway... Seems to be a missing font...

     

    I also got similar effects while using the data files from my previous d3+tdm setup. But there I sometimes can see some of the currently downloaded missions.

     

     

    As Demagogue said, its good that someone is looking at this. Im sure Greebo and the other coders welcome any extra coding help.

     

    Well I will do whatever I can do.

     

    Ps: I hope it's ok to post all of this Mac OS X specific stuff here (publicly)...?

    The point is that I would like to attract the attention of interested Mac users and later on ask for their assistance in testing.

    You took the sconscripts? Didn't the Xcode project files work? The Xcode projects do produce universal binaries, in case these are still important nowadays.

     

    Sorry, I did not look at them properly yet (only for a bit of reference on lists of needed input sources, libraries and frameworks).

    It's just that I used a *faster* and newer Mac machine via ssh and worked there from command line...

    But I have been planning to try those Xcode project files next. I think one can do that from command line as well, right?

     

    Besides, is there some absolute minimum set of data files just in order to check that the runtime for produced binaries?

    Hi guys,

     

    Looks like i managed to produce 'game' and 'libgame.dylib' by adapting the existing scons scripts to work on my mac os x + doing some hand magic. Naturally i'm very suspicious of these first fruits...

     

    Is there any quick (and maybe dirty) way to check the runtime without the original D3 data files?

     

    Cheers,

    Alex
