Compiling FlaME under mono

[NoQ]

Yeah, the signature errors are gone Just one mysterious error remains:

Code: Select all

~/flaME - MonoDevelop/flaME/ctrlMapView.vb (3145,38) : Error VBNC99999: <no message written yet>

The code fragment:

Code: Select all

    Sub OpenGL_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        If Form.ActiveForm Is frmMain Then                     ' <-- the error is here
            OpenGL.Focus()
        End If
    End Sub

[NoQ]

Oops, we have a fail. Once i just remove this code fragment, he returns to the CType and gives me the same "Can't convert" errors.

[Flail13]

EDIT:
thought about it some more, you could try

Code: Select all

If Form.ActiveForm Is My.Forms.frmMain Then

but even if that work, i think the change you made in the application.designer will make a whole load of errors at runtime at least, but if we fix all of them then it might work.

the problem with converting to the pointer seems like a problem with MonoDevelop in Linux, or some option is making it too strict and not allowing the conversion?

DirectCast worked for me, and i finally compiled it (with the VBNC99999 error commented out). Crash:

edit: so this is probably the separator issue (?)
edit: yay, after fixing the "\" to "/", i see the main window! (it still crashes though)

[Flail13]

that could be a slash error, since it came from line 630 in frmMain.

Code: Select all

Me.btnTextureFlipX.Image = New Bitmap(InterfaceImagesPath & "selectionflipx.png")

InterfaceImagesPath is given a backslash at its end, on declaration.

[NoQ]

Yeah, i'm through the slashes already. Here's the next crash:

I manage to see the main window for a moment this time.

[Flail13]

does the splash screen show up, or is it a quick flash of the main form without it?
if it doesnt make it to the splash screen, the problem could be frmSplash.Show() in frmMain_Load.
seemed like you couldn't refer to frmMain as an instance, so maybe you can't refer to any of the other forms either?

is it practical to be making this many changes to flaME? who will maintain it?

[NoQ]

I removed the splash and it went further.
Now, in lines like `Me.btnTextureFlipX.Image = New Bitmap(InterfaceImagesPath & "/selectionflipx.png")' the slash is redundant and causes a crash. No, it doesn't, sorry, never mind.

is it practical to be making this many changes to flaME? who will maintain it?

In the case of success, probably you just keep doing what you always did, and i just make linux/mac builds from time to time, sometimes asking new questions in this thread, unless someone else will come up, or we manage to make a cross-platform source after all.
Anyway, i'm still curious about DirectCast issue. How come it gives errors to you, when, as far as i understand, it shouldn't check the types at all in compile-time?

[Flail13]

seems like the same error as before. im out for today.

[NoQ]

seems like the same error as before. im out for today.

Really, lol! (:
Ok, i'm still trying to figure it out.

[macuser]

OH wow..... i wish i had gotten here sooner. LOL DONT COMPILE ON MONO. Compile on windows and run on mono. As long as we have the source for VB.NET 2008 and not 2010 it should work with these modified:

1. Change all "\" to "/" that refer to a path/filename
2. Include all libraries with the compiled binary
3. Any other errors resulting from more changes I will look at myself
4. I forget the rest...

Then on mac/linux with mono type:

Code: Select all

root@homecomputer# sudo mono --debug "pathtoflame.exe"

[cybersphinx]

Why sudo? On a properly set up system it should work without.

[macuser]

Just in case

[NoQ]

In any case, using sudo when you're already root ...
Ok, i'll try again tomorrow! (:
