VisualBoyAdvance-M

Posted: **Wed Jan 04, 2012 2:05 pm**

I just checked out a fresh version of this project (r1063), and it seems to me there are a few problems.

Building on Windows XP and Windows 7 x86 platforms, both with Visual Studio 2010 Professional.

Â

Problem: file /dependencies/SubWCRev.exe redundant

Current SubWCRev.exe is x64 (problems for x86 users)
Will cause problem due to svn 1.6 and svn 1.7 being incompatable
Depends on a tortoisesvn DLL, meaning user will need to have the full program installed anyhow

Solution: Delete it and execute SubWCRev.exe from PATH; list tortoisesvn as a dependency in /trunk/doc/DevInfo.txt. (I believe tortoisesvn adds its binary directory to PATH automatically)

(PS: the standalone version of SubWCRev.exe appears to have been discontinued)

Â

Problem: GBA Link feature code not well-written for Windows, it seems

<ol style="list-style-type:decimal;">[*]
/trunk/src/gba/GBALink.h: Uses sf::Thread which isn't included in /dependencies/SMFL/

[*]
/trunk/src/gba/GBALink.cpp: Uses WIN32 macro, which isn't set by MSVC

[*]
/trunk/src/gba/GBALink.cpp: Uses usleep() which isn't defined on Windows

[*]
/trunk/src/gba/LinkOptions.cpp: Innumerable errors

</ol>

The problems in GBALink.cpp can be easily fixed (patch). I'm not sure how GBALink.h should be fixed, but it should be trivial for someone familiar with the code. (I just copied the sfml_system files into the dependencies directory to shut it up).

Â

However it will still not compile, producing this output when I try.

Am I doing it wrong, or is the link feature in need of some clean-up and fixes?

Posted: **Wed Jan 04, 2012 2:23 pm**

Trunk is very wip, new linking code should be incoming eventually when/if adamn returns, and it needs some MSVC cleanups yes.

Â

the branch/prewx was before wx was added and any non wx patches that land to trunk also land on the branch to keep core consistency

Posted: **Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:29 am**

Oh thanks, that branch compiles.

Â

One thing I noticed, though, it references the fex project in the wrong location. (Patch for MSVC 2010 project)

Â

edit: Oh, looking at the log I noticed it's supposed to reference the fex in dependencies, in which case it's the solution file that needs updating. (patch)

Posted: **Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:24 am**

hmmm, the silly vcxproj's didn't update when we moved fex back into trunk

Â

fixed

From what I can tell, sf::Thread is calling for the Thread.hpp which is found under SFML\include\SFML\system with the standard SFML SDK. So far I've tried copying the files to the SFML directory, the VC includes directory, and tried modifying the properties of this project to include these files, but have gotten nowhere.

Â

It would appear that the SFML_Network Dependancy would need to be changed to include a bit more.

Â

At least I figured out what is missing, now I just have to figure out how to get it included into the source code to allow it to compile without problems.

Posted: **Tue Jan 10, 2012 7:43 pm**

sf::Thread isn't required at all by MFC, so its something Wx added for some reason while being entirely useless.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2012 12:35 pm**

After looking the code over, I discovered how to fix the SF::Thread dependancy by going into dependancies/SFML/include/SFML/System.hpp and uncommenting

#include

This will require adding into the system folder Thread.hpp as well as the folder Win32, which will contain another copy of Thread.hpp for Windows.

Â

Now to work on the LinkOption.cpp file.
