dreamgl compile failure

Steve F · Post by **Steve F** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 11:41 pm

I CVS checkout dreamgl to my /usr/local/ps2dev directory.

cd to /usr/local/ps2dev/dreamgl and run make.

Compile failed on creating lib/libdreamgl.a .

I mkdir ./lib and run make again.

That part compiled without failure.

Same thing happened with bin. After I mkdir ./bin that part worked.

I would have thought gcc could create directories on the -o option. I looked in other CVS projects and needed directories already exist, so ...

"Bug reports" is really kinda confusing for this particular forum because I think its intended for "forum" related bugs, not any softwares provided at ps2dev. So please don't mind me shuffling it off to one that looks more appropriate. :)

mkdir of bin and lib should be in makefile. Feel free to add it :P

I blame CVS and it's inadequate handling of empty directories.

Makefile now creates bin/ and lib/ and also installs into $PS2DEV.

Getting better. I see that ps2Perf is added. I checked it out of cvs and built it. The dreamgl Makefile references -L$(PS2DEV)/ps2Perf/lib but it looks like it actually is in -L$(PS2DEV)/ps2Perf/ee/lib .

I added the install: to ps2Perf Makefile just last week...
which installs to $(PS2DEV)/ps2Perf/lib.

Be sure not to mix up $PS2DEV with your copy of what's in CVS:

~/ps2cvs != /usr/local/ps2dev

I only have ps2dev. I have been doing checkout this way:

cd /usr/local/ps2dev
cvs checkout ps2Perf

I get /usr/local/ps2dev/ps2Perf

cd ps2Perf
make

When it's done I find libps2Perf.a in /usr/local/ps2dev/ps2Perf/ee/lib . There is no lib directory under ps2Perf as built straight from cvs. I'm running cygwin and I used Lukasz's tool-chain setup script. I keep my own development files under my home directory.

I'd fix it, except now it serves the greater good.

$PS2DEV is for installed software - not source, unless example source.

I don't get it (what or how it serves the greater good). But anyway, this may be a bit off topic but here is my setup

PS2DEV=/usr/local/ps2dev
PS2SDK=/usr/local/ps2dev/ps2sdk

Would it be better if I made PS2SDK point somewhere else? What are good suggestions? Maybe,

PS2DEV is okay.
PS2SDK = /usr/local/cvs/ps2sdk or /usr/local/ps2cvs/ps2sdk

everything I checkout from cvs goes in /usr/local/cvs and is built from there? And if I understand correctly, the makefiles will copy the necessary headers and libraries over to PS2DEV? Cool!
