SFML projects / SFML space -> Getting an spaceshooter working on unix/lin

« on: June 17, 2008, 10:00:43 pm »

Releases

I have just put an «alpha» release on the non-GNU Download Space

Screenshots

Actually not online but I'll do some

Description

This is an (not complete yet) port of an older game of mine. It was first developed using DirectX directly but as I'm on Linux completely now for 18 Months this was not an option any more.

I have done a lot of cleanup and rewrite to get all this running with SFML which was quite easy in principle though and we now need not fix these problems in the DirectX Engine

The whole Project is GPL v3 which was what the participating devs all agreed on and it is now hosted at Gnu's nongnu-savannah

General / Does not build on IA 64 / GNU/Linux + Other Platforms questi

« on: June 16, 2008, 05:45:12 pm »

Hi  Although it is officially supported SFML fails to build on IA 64 / GNU/linux:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/make sfml
make[1]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/libsfml-1.2'
[ -d lib ] || mkdir lib
make[2]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/libsfml-1.2/src/SFML'
make[3]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/libsfml-1.2/src/SFML/System'
g++ -o Clock.o -c Clock.cpp -W -Wall -pedantic -fPIC -I../../../include -I../../ -DNDEBUG -O2
In file included from ../../../include/SFML/System/Clock.hpp:31,
                 from Clock.cpp:28:

Is there a special reason you do not support other platforms than x86(_64) IA 64 and PPC?

What is the BIG_ENDIAN define used for as I have seen you use htonl family of functions?

Feature requests / Support UTF-8 in String? (->GNU/gettext)

« on: June 05, 2008, 07:11:28 pm »

Hi

would it be possible to add UTF-8 support to SFMLs String class so one can use it easily with the gettext library for producing multilingual software?

I can offer you an transfer method to get from std::basic_string<char> holding UTF-8 data to std::basic_string<uint32_t> holding widened data (which should be changeable to an wchar_t implementation) although this piece of code is kind of obscure.

General / [RFC] Package for Debian

« on: April 26, 2008, 10:17:11 am »

As I am trying to get sfml into the Debian Distribution I am currently building a set of Debian .deb Packages for sfml.

Actually there is a Version for C++ which could be testet. I have it online on http://testing.coders-nemesis.eu/sfml_deb/

NEW:
I have uploaded the 1.3 release both for i386 and mips systems
