I am reading the book “Linux 3D Graphics Programming” by Norman Lin. The source code can be found on sourceforge (l3d). When trying to compile the code provide with the book I stumble ypon some compilation problems. The first big compilation is the following:
$cd l3d/source/app/lib $make -f makeall.lnx
I got an error about g++-2.95 cannot be found, which is logical, since I have a newer version. The parameters are set in l3d/Makefile.vars. Changing any occurence of “g++-2.95″ to “g++” solved this problem.
Now I get a lot of the following kind of errors:
../../../../../../../../source/app/lib/dynamics/plugins/pyramid/pyramid.cc:36:3: error: extra qualification ‘l3d_plugin_pyramid::’ on member ‘l3d_plugin_pyramid’ make[4]: *** [pyramid.o] Error 1
Errors of this kind are solved by changing the particular line in the particular file:
l3d_plugin_pyramid::~l3d_plugin_pyramid(void) {
becomes
~l3d_plugin_pyramid(void) {
Another error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [pyramid.so] Error 1
Easily solved by:
$sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev libxmu6
Another error about not recognizing the option m486, forget to copy the error. Also due to newer versions, nicely solved by:
$find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/m486/mtune=i486/' {} \;
Then an error I ran into before:
vidinfo.cc: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’: vidinfo.cc:41:12: error: ‘exit’ was not declared in this scope vidinfo.cc:57:37: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments vidinfo.cc:188:32: error: ‘assert’ was not declared in this scope make[1]: *** [vidinfo.o] Error 1
This is solved by putting this in the file:
#include
Next error:
vidinfo.cc:189:32: error: ‘assert’ was not declared in this scope make[1]: *** [vidinfo.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mrdropd/linux_3d_programming/l3d/source/utils/vidinfo' make: *** [all] Error 2
Solved by adding to the file:
#include
Finally it compiles
