General / Re: Porting SFML 1.2 Makefile project glgalaxy to windows Code::Blocks
« on: May 12, 2013, 12:26:50 pm »
First off: Thanks very much for your reply eXpl0it3r!
You're right that C++/OpenGL no stroll in the park and so I'm now practising doing other stuff to get me to the point where I can further develop this glgalaxy code.
Still it would be nice if I could just get this code running on my machine so I also have an idea of how computationaly intensive it is. This is how far I've got:
> you could create four empty projects with one workbench and add to all of the the one related source file
I've done this, assuming you mean matrix.cpp is the related source file of each project, as each of the 4 .cpps in the Makefile includes matrix.cpp, and 3 of them build to give an executable. (BTW, to link against OpenGL on windows I found out I needed the -lopengl32 switch instead of the linux only -lGL.)
The one that doesn't build is gltexture. That one is slighly more complicated as it also includes lodepng.cpp (which also needs lodepng.h). Building the gltexture project results in almost 300 multiple definition errors along the lines of
Is there an incompatibility between this LodePNG version 20110417 and SFML 1.6? As I said glgalaxy seems to have been written in SFML 1.2, but unfortunately that has now been taken offline. Or should I be looking elsewhere?
I'm still not entirely sure what I should make of the all: gljitter line from the Makefile. Does that mean gljitter.cpp is a dependency of each of the other 3 projects too?
Any help, suggestions, tips much appreciated!
