With a separate build directory inside the source directory the PWD variable needs to be undefined in the Project Properties. When building directly in the source directory this step is not necessary. ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Found a dirent.h and a stdint.h no problemo. This SPECLIST code screams for C++ templates. It looks very fragile and hard to debug. Certainly, trying to deal with it in MSVC is a miserable experience. I haven't figured out if the reason it works at all is GCC specific, or if I've run into a MSVC deficiency, or something else. Christian, thanks for the offer of the MinGW toolchain on the Freeciv FTP site. For now I will keep going with MSVC, as I have made much more progress with that than trying to get Eclipse to work.

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] debugging with Eclipse on Windows
Try my Mingw toolchain from ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/packages/windows/gwuwin32/ It works fine for me with Eclipse and CDT. I didn't know about the Autotools plugin until now, so I used to run autogen.sh and configure manually from the MSYS bash shell when needed. Will give the the Autotools plugin a try now. ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

It is true that freeciv development is more easily done on a gnu/linux system... unfortunately I would not know the best setup on windows. --- 知るわけないだろう。 ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

This is a tiring Hell that I don't want to be a part of anymore. I guess nobody uses IDEs to debug Freeciv on Windows. Doesn't have to be Eclipse, just somebody tell me something that works? Meanwhile, I'm going to see if I can make a Visual Studio build out of this thing. Cheers, Brandon Van Every ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

[Freeciv-Dev] debugging with Eclipse on Windows
Anyone knowledgeable on how to debug Freeciv using Eclipse? I'm using Cygwin on Vista. I had to dump MinGW because MSYS Make 3.81 is defective for Windows paths with colons in them, i.e. C:\blah. It makes Eclipse and other JDK toolchains barf. Cygwin Make 3.81 is also defective, but I was able to find a patched version at http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/ . I have been able to build Freeciv inside Eclipse using the Autotools plugin. I installed the end result, and it does run under an X terminal outside of Eclipse. Now I'm trying to figure out how to debug the darned thing. I installed civclient.exe into the Cygwin file system and have successfully imported it into an Eclipse debug configuration. However, all I can achieve at this point is an app that doesn't know where an X terminal is. Perhaps I am making progress and it's only a matter of time before I bang this out, but I thought I'd ask if anyone here knows the ropes. Client, Server, X terminal, Cygwin Unix layer, all quite a mess. Cheers, Brandon Van Every ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
