Sorry for the screenshot.

Maybe those should be separate topics? But for now...
In order to attract more people into upp-cocoa who doesn't have macs I have been developing upp-cocoa also on MS Windows.

I constantly struggling which flags should I change and how to name them because, I can only guess the whole future picture of the u++ flag system.
Can someone outline structure of the u++ compiling flags?
Or is there one?
Something like:
1 Kernel or OS (like in google chrome end other places):
1.1 OS_WINDOWS
1.2 OS_LINUX
1.3 OS_BSB
(I am still using PLATFORM_COCOA but it is not correct. see below)

2 peripherals middleware?
Keyboard? for cocoa I need
WINDOWS_KEYBOARD
APPLE_KEYBOARD
LINUX_BSD_KEYBOARD

.... something in between for draw?

then GUI_BACKENDS
dont forget GUI_XCB!

eg cygwin - OS_WINDOWS - WINDOWS_KEYBOARD - GUI_X11
cocoa OS_WINDOWS - WINDOWS_KEYBOARD - GUI_COCOA

but some cocoa is used if GUI_OPENGL? so it would be logical to
have MIDDLE_COCOA ?
then inside I am using GNU_STEP
or simply __APPLE__

or what?


So, what better prefix would be instead of MIDDLE_..
The prefixes OS_.. GUI_.. are clear. Imagine a table? or is there one for u++?

help... Smile

But, I am sorry, IMO, PLATFORM_POSIX meaning is too wide and confusing..

Other ideas?

P.S I want to harmonize and clean at least those 2 sets of uppsrc on my mac and windows to be ready to post or commit somewhere ...

Why confusing? The sole purpose is to identify API for conditional compilation. POSIX represents a pretty wide but guaranteed set of API calls, which is different from Win32 API.

Surely, PLATFORM_LINUX or PLATFORM_BSD are narrower subsets, but it is definitely worth to have superset, as most things are the same.

Hi Aris,

Thanks for bringing to my knowledge the alternative test platform - GNUstep. I just downloaded+installed the parts (MSYS system, core and devel) for windows. I may be a bit ahead of schedule with this, but: Once you get your work uploaded, could you please post a (hopefully short Smile step-by-step guide how to get it up and running on GNUstep.

--

I don't know the big picture, so don't take me too seriously, but I think OpenGL is always used in companion with something else, like GDI, X11 or Cocoa in this case. So, maybe GUI_OPENGL should not exist as an alternative to GUI_X11, etc. but instead as a kind of add-on to them.

Best regards,

Tom

Great! Thanks Tom for your interest! You are not much ahead of schedule.. Maybe only one day Smile At the moment for upp-cocoa I use 2 packages: UNS and SkeletonCoc.
So the first rough steps:
1. install gnustep. - You did it (hopefully correctly Wink )
2. I should have UNS for testing on gnustep and mac to be ready in a few hours zipped somewhere here.
3. I will post a version if of theide for windows gnustep.
4. You will try to compile some tests and if any errors I will tell you what to change in Core.

ok, thanks. I will try to adjust them as little as possible to be fit for purpose. And then you adjust... Smile

Tom, I have posted the new UNS. Check another topic. (what the hell happened to forum settings? Where the nice addresses disappeared?)

Try to build with the existing windows theide but you might need to copy ide.exe somewhere inside gnustep dir and also create uppsrc nests inside gnustep and run ide and/or (in order to) run built products from there. sorrry, I can't remember environment variables etc and I dont have windows pc tonight.

You will need to have active LIBRARIES (in project settings) depending on flags
 objc  gnustep-base  gnustep-gui  ffi m   libstdc++

(but they are in UNS)

try to compile your own ide with this file
Edit: Atttention! the changes in this file might not help linking gnustep stuff with MINGW ... I will post updates later.

try to change part of Core/config.h
	#define COMPILER_GCC 1
	

	#if __WIN32
		#define COMPILER_MINGW
		#define OS_WINDOWS
		#define PLATFORM_WIN32	
	#endif

	#ifdef __OBJC__
	#include <objc/objc.h>
	#endif

		#if flagCOCOA
			#define PLATFORM_COCOA
			#define GUI_COCOA 1
		#endif
		#if flagX11
			#define GUI_X11 1  //aris002 for cygwin?	
		#endif

#if flagGUI_WIN
	#define GUI_WIN
#endif

	#if __unix || __unix__ || __APPLE__
		#define PLATFORM_POSIX 1


Edit: actually I changed everything in Core from PLATFORM_WIN32 to OS_WINDOWS and then have been trying to adjust other parts but at the start you don't need.

Please post your errors.

Hi Aris,

Your feeding instructions at a rate well beyond my internal clock, but I'm catching up eventually. So, I have applied changes to MINGW.bm, config.h and now finally merged your GccBuilder.icpp. However, this last change caused inability to build theide:

----- ide/Builders ( GUI SVO_VALUE GCC WIN32 ) (5 / 35)
GccBuilder.icpp
...
There were errors. (0:01.27)


How to proceed?

Best regards,

Tom

OK, now you may determine how 'intelligent' I was... (The revised file is attached.) This one compiled into a supposedly working ide.exe.

However, the same compilation errors seem to still exist when compiling UNS package.

You were referring to flags in one of your posts. You mean Main package configuration flags / or not? I have nothing there yet. Should I?

Have you applied the changes to the Core/config.h?

What flags have you got in test package?

config.h was already applied earlier.

Currently no flags. I tried with GUI and GUI SKELETON COCOA without effect.

but flags in your testing should be something like
GUI USEMALLOC COCOA .NOGTK TEST_UNS

.NOGTK - may not needed Smile (I switched to mac...)

Tried with and without .NOGTK -- no apparent difference. Then tried to add SVO_VALUE, but that did not have effect either.

Here are the first lines of plenty more...

My uppsrc is something 6 months old. Damn, it looks like I do not have Core/ValueUtil.h and I will need to merge. It might take some time. Id, I think, might be used in Cocoa Foundation, to... But, for now, try without SVO_VALUE and post errors.
