Regarding libphysfs in devpkg-mingw

[bornemix]

Hi,

It seems that the source of zlib is included in libphysfs, instead of being linked to zl - could you please change this?

It creates a "multiple definition" error for me when compiling with MINGW...

Also, please put up the devpkgs in the SVN instead. Having a unified source of files is better.

I don't think we have someone who's keeping an eye for mingw devpkg. It's a bit trial and error with mingw, but I'm still using previous devpkg without issue...

The devpkg existence is fueled by the very idea of NOT putting them into SVN. Do you want to download all the different packages for every platform every time they'll change? What's for?

Hi iNod, thanks for your reply.... I'll try to fix it myself, no problem...

[bornemix]

That one is fixed.

If anyone wants libphysfs.lib without zlib, here it is..

Hmm.
While I don't use mingw either, I am curious to know what compile options you used with physfs?
Which version of physfs is this anyway?
Can your version read in .wz files OK?

As for sticking everything in svn, that isn't going to happen. It is a huge PITA when bisecting code with svn.
All external libs are either on SF or GNA for mingw + macs + MSVC.

I just added "HAS_ZLIB" with CMake/mingw-make static lib generation, so that it doesn't include the source of it, rather it needs to be linked when build wz, which is already done.

Its difference in size is about 20-30kb.

Well, the Mac project file automatically downloads the packages it needs. I wonder if we could make the Windows build scripts do the same thing...

[bornemix]

That's what I'm doing now...

win32/__BUILD_SCRIPT already does that for cross-compilation. Maybe you can adapt it to do native compiles as well?

[bornemix]

I'm making a windows BAT that includes svn and 7zip, downloads mingw, bison, all dependencies, downloads svn/trunk, compiles it...

Is that already done?

[cybersphinx]

The Linux script downloads and builds all dependencies, but uses the system tools and an already downloaded source. If you can adapt it, you just need a wrapper that downloads source etc, but not the building itself. I think it depends on bash and Gnu make, though.
