Irrlicht Engine

If you use, or are willing to try, Eclipse you can check http://www.skwash.com. Is plugin that integrates support for swig. Sorry for sounding like an Eclipse evangelist

Hi

I'm glad to hear about this project.

How should I compile it?. I can't see any ant build file, Eclipse project or whatever. I personally will die for Eclipse project files.

Another thing, I see that you used swig to do the wrapping may you release also the .swig file(s). I would like to look ...

Anyone knows something that could convert a GNU makefile to Microsoft Makefile?. Apart from a person, of course.

Because then I could use the Microsoft Visual c++ Toolkit to compile Irrlicht/Ruby and see if it's faster.

To Saigumi:

I've send you the make file

To jnichols:

You don't need a mingw Ruby version to use it, only for compiling. I'm using myself the binaries with the normal Ruby for windows and it works.

Hi

First, thank you for your hard work. This ruby interface seems very well done.
But I have some questions.

I tried to compile with mingw in windows and I couldn't. You are using the uSleep function that, I think is unix specific, so it's not posible to build it.

It would be possible to replace ...

Why you can't protect a file format?

And about the conditions for GTKRadiant, they set the conditions of their own product. They made it and and they can choose.

John Carmack:
"We do not legally protect the file formats, but you can't use any of the released tools, or tools derived from them (except the GPL'd Quake 1 tools) to generate content for a commercial venture. If you ...

The formats are not copyrighted, what are copyrighted are the tools.

So you you can not use ID tools for make content but you can make your own tools that write md2, md3, bsp or whatever.

Hi

Thanks for your answer.

Happy to hear that you are working with Venom.
And happy to throw my crappy makefile to the trash can.

I will try it when I will be at home tonight.

Keep on with the good work.

Hi I've been messing up with venom now and then and I got some results.

I managed to compile it under windows using Msys and Mingw. If someone is interested the makeile is bellow, note that you must use swig 1.1, and you will have to adjust paths.

I have a question to sirshane, I was trying to ...

For Dev-cpp:

Look for the directx8 dev-pak, install it and you will be able to use Directx with Irrlicht.

For Borland:

I don't know. There isn't a tool to create a lib from a dll, like there is pexports for mingw ( AKA Dev-cpp) ?.

Looks like the compiler is not finding the libraries for openGL.
You would have to find out where are they located in your system and their location to the makefile.

Hi

Any progress about this ?.

I would like to use it under Windows and tried to compiled myself but without luck.

Hi

I downloaded de cvs snapshot but I couldn't make it work. Files have text from cvs commands and extensions are messed up.

I also tried to access cvs directly but it was not possible somthing about file lock.

I would like to try this, but ...

That's simple great.

I've wanting to use python for games from ..., well since I've found python. I'm looking forwar to see in action, but I'm at work!!!!

And I think that if you keep in sync with irrlicht releases this would very good for the engine.
