Problems compiling in Windows

**JKO** · 07-22-2010, 07:50 AM

Hi, I purchased the game from the Indie Bundle and loved it (except the beginning of Overture, but I just never liked caves) When I learned that the source was open, I got awesomely happy and tried to make it run (I'm a computer science student you see), but unfortunately, I'm getting a lot of problems, and would like your help!

First off, I downloaded everything and installed them properly (The 3 Git folders and dependencies, the various missing libs like GLaux and OpenAL, etc.)
Then, (After hours of trying to figure out how to,) I got the OALWrapper and the HPL1engine to compile, and got both their .lib's. But when I try to compile Penumbra, it runs without error, but the .exe crash before doing anything:

Code: (Select All)

  Additional Information 4:    0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

If it can be of any use, my executable is not the same size as the official one. Mine is 2,886Kb and the vanilla one is 2,664Kb.

Here are a few snapshot I deemed of value (note the Linker error, is that a problem here?):

I did a LOT of research, but the docs are not really there yet, so it's pretty hard to do my usual debugging (I don't usually need to ask questions). I've packaged my HPL.lib and OALWrapper.lib (along with the penumbra.exe it give me, just in case), which can be downloaded here. It would be nice if you could try them and tell me whether they are the problem or not. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 under Windows 7.

It would be nice to end the Windows/VS10 problems once and for all, I've noticed most topics don't really solve the problem clearly, so I've included as much info as possible in hope to pin down the problem.

If you need any other info, please tell me.

Also, I've been thinking about making the project files from scratch and link the stuff myself, is that an advisable idea?

(Sorry for mistakes I may have made, I'm not english)

(If I can get it to work I PROMISE I'll make a comprehensive VS10 guide! Smile

Couple of things to check out.. Did the Penumbra.exe generate an hpl log (I believe in the My Documents/Penumbra folder)
Also did you RUN the executable from within the "redist" data folder?
Have you tried building a Debug build instead of a Release build and putting a breakpoint on hplMain (in Main.cpp) and walking through the code there to see where it blows up?

**JKO** · 07-22-2010, 08:30 PM

Quote:My penumbra.exe did not generate an hpl.log, but the vanilla one did straight away. I do run penumbra from the redist folder (and the project is linked to it). I tried running penumbra in debug with the breakpoint at hplmain, as you asked, here is the debug error it gives me:

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8123/...adebug.png

The codes that causes the problem, are in OALWrapper.
This is the code of the 2nd line in the debug stack:

Code: (Select All)
bool iOAL_LoggerObject::mbLogEnabled = false; eOAL_LogOutput iOAL_LoggerObject::mLogOutput = eOAL_LogOutput_File; eOAL_LogVerbose iOAL_LoggerObject::mLogVerboseLevel = eOAL_LogVerbose_Low; wstring iOAL_LoggerObject::msLogFile = BuildLogFilename("OAL.log"); <----(This line)

And this is the code where the crash happens:

Code: (Select All)
#if defined(WIN32) WCHAR sPath[MAX_PATH]; if(SUCCEEDED(SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_PERSONAL | CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE, NULL,0,sPath))) { wsTemp = wstring(sPath).append(L"/").append(wsName); } else { return L""; } #else string home = string(getenv("HOME")); <----(This line) wsTemp = String2WString(home); wsTemp.append(L"/").append(wsName); #endif

This is what I have so far.

EDIT:
I fixed it. The errors it gave me reminded me of the "It just crashes" topic, and I was able to fix if from there. Thanks a lot for the debug tip. Now I'll check what is the easiest way to get it all working and post a little guide, as promised.
