I must have missed this commit the first time around, would have loved if this had been mentioned in cross-platform development.  I always love hearing that a new platform is being experimented on.

Sorry, everytime I seen this thread I assumed it was in cross platform development

When I have sometime I (or someone else) needs to compile a list of what platforms are suported, known to work, and when was the last test on that version.

[chief1983]

Besides the officially supported ones, I only know of this and Solaris, and the Solaris test was on a version that's no longer actually being released (OpenSolaris).  I've tried again with minimal success to get a compile to work on an OpenIndiana VM.

Also, because of this, I am going to try to get FSO to compile for FreeBSD on a virtual machine.  If we can get to where it's at least as easy as a Linux build, I might be able to set up nightlies for it as well, to verify regular compilability.

[chief1983]

Tried this myself.  Just set up a VM of GhostBSD LXDE 3.0 RC2, should be recent enough I think.  Got all the dependencies I could find installed that it didn't already have.  Then I got this:

Code: [Select]

windows_stub/stubs.cpp: In function 'void* _vm_malloc(int, char*, int, int)':
windows_stub/stubs.cpp:574: error: 'malloc_usable_size' was not declared in this scope
windows_stub/stubs.cpp: In function 'void* _vm_realloc(void*, int, char*, int, int)':
windows_stub/stubs.cpp:596: error: 'malloc_usable_size' was not declared in this scope
windows_stub/stubs.cpp: In function 'void _vm_free(void*, char*, int)':
windows_stub/stubs.cpp:678: error: 'malloc_usable_size' was not declared in this scope
*** [stubs.o] Error code 1

Wasn't something you ran into was it, nbspjr?

Did you use trunk, or the Diaspora version?  When I added the malloc_usable_size stuff I didn't try to account for FreeBSD (just Linux/OSX) and I don't know if that commit is in the diaspora release (which I presume nbspjr used)

According to this page, we might need to add this to the header on FreeBSD:

Code: [Select]

#include <stdlib.h>


[jg18]

I just looked at that same page and it also mentions including this:

Code: [Select]

#include <malloc_np.h>


[niffiwan]

.... what jg18 said 

(aka, the guy who can read clearly )

[chief1983]

Ah.  I was building trunk, if that's a recent change not in the Diaspora release, then I guess this isn't relevant in this particular forum.  But I'll see about tweaking that windows_stubs file to work on FreeBSD without breaking another platform then.

Yes, I used the archive from the release related topic. There was no such problem during compilation.

[chief1983]

Ok, good to know.  I have managed to get a binary to compile from the latest FSO trunk code, but I did notice this warning repeatedly at one point:

Code: [Select]

controlconfig/controlsconfigcommon.cpp:191: warning: missing initializer for member 'config_item::type'
controlconfig/controlsconfigcommon.cpp:191: warning: missing initializer for member 'config_item::key_id'
controlconfig/controlsconfigcommon.cpp:191: warning: missing initializer for member 'config_item::joy_id'
controlconfig/controlsconfigcommon.cpp:191: warning: missing initializer for member 'config_item::used'
controlconfig/controlsconfigcommon.cpp:191: warning: missing initializer for member 'config_item::disabled'

Is this something you saw?  If not I might have messed up something with SDL while tweaking the configure.ac.

I've seen some warnings in the console but I don't remember how did it look like. I could build it again tomorrow and show you an output. Would you like me to build the release or a development branch?

[chief1983]

The released diaspora codebase is fine, since we know that works for you.  Maybe I can try that one too, just to see.

Edit:  After fixing the newline warnings, here's the build output I got for what looks like a successful build.

[chief1983]

And, since this seems to be working for my FreeBSD VM now, I went ahead and made the first FreeBSD nightly.
