Eclipse CTD and IrrLicht [Semi solved]

[Dukdalf]

Hi guys,

Eclipse is in my opinion a very good IDE. I use it already for other purposes as well. I hope to get IrrLicht working with Eclipse as the IDE. I already created the irrlicht.dll with DevC++ and Code::Blocks, so that is for another time. I am now looking for a solution to my IrrLicht code to test it.

I downloaded the eclipse 3.3 (europe edition).
Installed MinGW and MSys, according to a tutorial in eclipse 3.3.

Then I created a executable c++ project named IrrLichtTest.
I copy pasted the code from the Irrlicht Example 1 into the IrrLichtTest.cpp file (this is the default 'main' file).
Added to the project include directories the directory: C:\irrlicht\Includes.

It looks fine, and Eclipse does not highlight any errors or something. But when I Run the program It cannot find the IrrLichtTest.EXE and displays the following error:

Code: Select all

Severity and Description	Path	Resource	Location	Creation Time	Id
src\IrrLichtTEST.o: In function `ZN3irr4core12irrAllocatorIcE12internal_newEj':C:/irrlicht/include/irrAllocator.h: undefined reference to `_imp___ZN3irr12createDeviceENS_5video13E_DRIVER_TYPEERKNS_4core11dimension2dIiEEjbbbPNS_14IEventReceiverEPKc'		IrrLichtTEST	line 0	1183630120421	5708

I really have NO clue what to do whith this error.

Can somebody throw me a line?

are you linking to the libIrrlicht.a? And are you using the same compiler as you compiled the .dll and .a with?

[Dukdalf]

You were richt, although getting this fixed was no entirely trivial.

It all works now! I can use Eclipse to write C++ programs with IrrLicht.

But I cannot compile IrrLicht yet. It seems eclipse is not able to open the right Makefile. I am also uncertain if I can just run the Makefile that is provided with the Irrlicht source, or that changes need to be made.

Anyway I get this error while building Irrlicht!

Code: Select all

**** Build of configuration MinGW GCC for project Irrlicht ****

make all 
make: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.

I will look into this on a later moment, if anybody got a hint?

When I am fully understanding how things are done in Eclipse, like making the irrlicht.dll etc., I will write a tutorial how to get eclipse and irrlicht running.

There is a all: targewt, but under Windows you have to use all_win32

I have selected appointed the the source directory where the Makefile is positioned.
Here is the Makefile

Code: Select all

VERSION = 1.3.1
# Irrlicht Engine 1.3.1
# Makefile for Linux, created by N.Gebhardt.
# 
# To use, just run:
#
# make
#
# This will compile Irrlicht, create a static lib (libIrrlicht.a), and copy it
# into the subdirectory lib/Linux. That's all.
#
# If you want Irrlicht to be compiled as shared lib (libIrrlicht.so.versionnumber), then run:
#
# make sharedlib
# make install
#
# Please note that Irrlicht as shared lib is just experimental and  
# probably not tested.

And here is the make command error!

Code: Select all

**** Build of configuration MinGW GCC for project Irrlicht ****

make all_win32 
make: *** No rule to make target `all_win32'.  Stop.

I tried also to do the following things

• - make win32
  - make all win32
  - make win32 all
  -make sharedlib_win32

I am sure some are total crap(and stupid) but hey at least I tried!

Thanks again for assisting btw! I slowly get there!

[hybrid]

Maybe they don't support GNU make files?

[lester]

they are certainly using custom make rules, you must setup them in the project settings dialog.

[Dukdalf]

yeah, well currently I lost my interrest in getting this to work, but when i am more used to c++ I will check it out again. Or when a new version of Irrlicht becomes available.

thanks guys. I can use Eclipse at least.
