Downloaded the source code:

$sudo apt-get install mercurial
$hg clone http://bitbucket.org/sinbad/ogre/ -u v1-7

Followed the included docs to build:

$sudo apt-get install cmake
$sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-thread-dev nvidia-cg-toolkit libfreeimage-dev zlib1g-dev libzzip-dev libois-dev libcppunit-dev doxygen libxt-dev libxaw7-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxrandr-dev libglu-dev

To my surprise, one of the dependencies was a complete tex-system.
Used cmake-gui with as build directory a separate directory. Chose to build everything, also the samples and tests, but not static. Generated all the scripts and (in the build-dir):

$make
$make install

Then in

/path/to/builddirectory/bin/Samples

I executed the SampleBrowser, with worked perfectly.
Then I started the tutorials, setting up a build system with autotools and creating the first example. It did compile, but on running an error about not finding a library was thrown, which I solved with:

sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib

since the shared library _was_ located there.d
I copied resources.cfg and plugins.cfg from the Ogre3D samples build directory to the tutorial directory and looked if the contents were ok.
The first example ran fine.

After:

$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off

i could.

So I

$sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

and added

iwconfig wlan0 power off

.

Done. Thx to ebrato in this post.

$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

shows us that the driver to blacklist is rt73usb.

Then add

blacklist rt73usb

to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

I have a dirty Ubuntu now, but there was no other way.

Then i downloaded the latest avr32 studio.

Edited Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings-> AVR32/GNU g++ Linker-> libraries to include stdc++ in /usr/lib/gcc/avr32/4.3.2. This includes the static library in the binary that will be build. Necessary because there’s no dynamic libs on the board (resources!). If you don’t change this option, it wil compile with dynamic libs and it won’t run on the device.

AVR32 Studio doesn’t build my Hello World program with the following error:

Internal Builder: Cannot run program "avr32-linux-g++": Unknown reason
Build error occurred, build is stopped

The avr32-linux-g++ does not exist. I had to download the buildroot from http://www.atmel.no/buildroot/ to build the tool chain which includes this binary. I chose the 2.2.1 release to have working drivers for abdac en ac97. This may be handy in my future experiments.
Should be easy with:

$make atngw100
$make source
$make

Got very strange errors, but made sure there were no space in the path to the directory I’m in and now I’m getting further.

During compilation I got the following error:

scripts/unifdef.c:209: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
/usr/include/stdio.h:653: note: previous declaration of 'getline' was
here

I renamed all occurences of ‘getline’ in unifdef.c to ‘parseline’ and the compilation gets beyond this point. This error exists because the next version of glibc changes the default _POSIX_C_SOURCE level, which exposes getline() from stdio.h.

Following error: avr32_linux_user_guide_2.0.0.tar.gz not found.
Downloaded it from:

http://www.atmel.no/buildroot/source/mirror/avr32_linux_user_guide_2.0.0.tar.gz

and put it in the right dir.

Got an error while building Samba. Disabled it with make menuconfig, because I won’t use Samba in this context. Pragmatic thinking!

Another error:

/buildroot-avr32-v2.2.1/build_avr32/makedevs/makedevs.c: In function main:
/buildroot-avr32-v2.2.1/build_avr32/makedevs/makedevs.c:531: error: ignoring return value of system, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

and the solution is (found it somewhere else):
change line 531 to
return system(“/bin/sync”);

The build is complete now!

I added the directory that contains avr32-linux-g++ to Window->Preferences->C/C++->Environment in a PATH variable.

I’m trying to build this program for the ngw100 target:

#include
#include 

int main()
{
	printf("Hello World!\n");
	return 0;
}

I got this error:

In function
> `__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler()':
> ../../../../../gcc-4.1.1/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/vterminate.cc:89:
> undefined reference to `_impure_ptr'
> make: *** [hello] Error 1

I configured the linker to link to the libs that were created with buildroot and it worked. Don’t forget to tick the option ‘static linking’, otherwise it will link with the dynamic libstdc++ library, which doesn’t work on the device.

It works perfectly now! A lot of work for a little Hello World program, but I’m happy with the result.

This was the first game I played in a very long time and for me it was ok, despite the bad reviews on the net.
Graphically something bothered me though: the blood on the dinosaurs was all shiny and not really blending in with the dinosaur. It looked more like a plash of glue than real blood.
Maybe the story was a little flat. Well, there is not much of a story now I think about it.
The surroundings are also flat: sometimes you’re outside in the jungle, sometimes you’re inside in this industrial kind of complexes. There’s nothing in between.
I liked fighting the final t-rex. Took me a while though.
