Compile WinUAE ?????

[Myriel]

Hi !
I´m trying to compile the latest WinUAE source. I also installed the DDK (for win 98), included the extra header-file and the zlib-stuff. But when I try to compile several files are still missing and a lot of fatal errors are shown. The missing files are not included in the DDK etc. like said on the winuae-page.
If anyone has managed to compile winuae, please tell me how you did that. I´d appreciate a lot.
Thx in advance

If anyone has managed to compile winuae

I have

Update to MSVC7 ("MSVC Net") or fix obsolete VC6 project files (basically add missing source files to project), make sure you have DX9 SDK, recent DDK (must support Windows 2K/XP features or edit sysconfig.h and disable 2K/XP features like SPTI CDROM/HD support), and Platform SDK.

[Myriel]

Thx for your quick answer.
I will try that out. Hopefully that will work.

[Myriel]

Now I´ve installed all the stuff you suggested, got several other missing files ( like paraport.h etc. ) and tried to compile it again.
After some code-modifications it is finally trying to link, but now there are a lot other errors. Seems like some lib-files are missing but I got them all, set the correct path etc. Any idea ? Thx

enforcer.c, win32_scale2x.c, direct3d.c, dxerr8.lib, zdll.lib (http://www.gzip.org/zlib/, you need 1.2.1 or later) missing from project. (and probably more..)

_op_xx: you need to compile and run gencpu/genblitter/gencomp-projects before compiling main winuae-project.

I hope this helps..

[Myriel]

Ok. I finally nailed it down to 2 or 3 problems (thx).

1.) The winio.h file seems to be wrong ?
WinIo.h(11) : error C2059: syntax error : 'string'
The problem seems to be the string ´extern "C" ´.

2.) After "disabling" the file winio.h it is trying to link.
But there are still these problems :


a) ioport.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _InitializeWinIo
ioport.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _ShutdownWinIo
ioport.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _GetPortVal
ioport.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _SetPortVal

I guess that´s because of the error in the winio.h.
I did include the winio.lib but that didn´t help. Any idea ?


b) win32_scale2x.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _hq4x_32
win32_scale2x.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _hq3x_32
win32_scale2x.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _hq3x_16
win32_scale2x.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _hq2x_32


I included the win32_scale2x.c inb the project. But I think
files for the different HQ-Scalers are missing. The only
files I have are .asm files. Do I have to compile them ?
Which compiler do I need ( masm ? ).

Sorry to bother you so much.
Thx

1: winio.h is buggy, you need to remove extern "C" and InstallWinIODriver()-lines.

b: asm-files need to be compiled with nasm (check asm.bat in od-win32) or remove all lines between "} else if (usedfilter->type == UAE_FILTER_HQ) {" and "} else if (usedfilter->type == UAE_FILTER_SUPEREAGLE)". HQ-filters are disabled because they are not yet working properly.

Yeeha !!!!
Finally got it compiled & linked ! A thousand times thanks to you Toni.
And it even works

Why don´t you include a compilation-doc in the sourcecode ?
That would help people in the future.

See you around.
Thx

Hmmm, why don´t you just do such tutorial, you now know how to do it and it would save much time for Toni developing WinUAE even further

[Myriel]

Sure I could do it. But I don´t know if Toni would like to include it in the zip of the sourcecode. Otherwise I don´t have an opportunity to spread a tutorial or do you know a site where I could put it on ?

[Big-Byte]

How about this one? Its more than just a messageboard you know http://abime.net/

I would be interested in the tutorial if you write it....

[Myriel]

Ok.. I will write a little compilation-tutorial. Maybe there are more people who are interested in
Till later....

[AmiGer]

Of course.

I'm interested, too. Once I've compiled winuae successfully but I've forgotten all the steps to reach this, so a tutorial would be nice...

I think it's also useful for Toni...

[Myriel]

Hello everyone.
Here is a little tutorial on compiling WinUAE 0.8.23.
I hope it works for you too. Let me know if this tutorial
helped you.
Bye
Myriel

[AmiGer]

Thanks !
