Scons script updates for MinGW compile of 4.0

radiance-dev
1

Here are some changes to make to the Scons scripts, to get 4.0 to
compile on Windows using MinGW. These were compiled on Windows 7, but
it should work for XP as well.

···

************
This one was previously reported on the dev-list.
/ray/build_utils/find_libs.py

Change:
v = env.FindFile('Verdana.fnt', './lib')

to:
v = env.FindFile('Veerdana.fnt', './lib')
***********

***********
Add some new files to the script:
/ray/src/rt/SConscript

Change:
  duphead = env.Object(source="duphead.c")
  persist = env.Object(source="persist.c")
  ambio = env.Object(source="ambio.c")

to:
  duphead = env.Object(source="duphead.c")
  persist = env.Object(source="persist.c")
  ambio = env.Object(source="ambio.c")
  rayfifo = env.Object(source="rayfifo.c")
  raypwin = env.Object(source="raypwin.c")
  raycalls = env.Object(source="raycalls.c")

Change:
rtsrc = ['rtrace.c', duphead, persist, rtmain]

to:
rtsrc = ['rtrace.c', duphead, persist, rtmain, rayfifo, raypwin, raycalls]
************

*********
I couldn't figure out how to cleanly set the tools environment from
win32 (which uses the Microsoft Visual Studio compiler) to mingw.
I made this crude change to the main Sconscript, please tell me the
proper way to force it to use the mingw environment:
/ray/SConstruct

Change:
# Set up build environment
-env = Environment()

to:
# Set up build environment
env = Environment(tools = ['mingw'])

Hi Christian, All:

I just checked in the changes you recommended along with a new compatibility module for timegm() that Ling tested for me. I hope it all works, but I have no way to try it out. Could someone give it a go? The HEAD should update by tomorrow (Friday).

Cheers,
-Greg

Hi,

I've just tried latest HEAD version installation on Windows XP, SP3, and
have next errors:

Also it doesn't want to start building if supplementary files aren't
included (previous version of Scons script build and installed even without
lib files).

I'm using Python 2.6 and installed scons 1.3.0

Any ideas?

Hi,

I've just tried latest HEAD version installation on Windows XP, SP3, and
have next errors:

File "F:\Instalacije\ray\src\common\SConscript", line 47:
ALL = RTSCENE + RTPIC + STD + RTNET + env.get('RAD_COMPAT',)

I'd say env.get('RAD_COMPAT') returns a string instead of a string
wrapped in a list. Try to add a print statement before this line to
see the value of RAD_COMPAT (and possibly all the other vars). Once
you know which value is not a list you can either search where it get
set (wrongly) or modify the above line to something like

ALL = RTSCENE + RTPIC + STD + RTNET + [env.get('RAD_COMPAT',"")]

or similar.

What I have tried to do:
****
If I replace line:
opts = Options(OPTFILE, ARGUMENTS) with
opts = Variables(OPTFILE, ARGUMENTS)
only depreciation warning is removed, and the rest of the error remains.

The error is raised by the Python interpreter in the "ALL = ..." line
above. Modifying "opts=" will have no effect here.

******
For error in line 81, I've tried to replace this path string with list in
SConscript(), but the same errors again.
****

The error is not in line 81; it's in line 47. It just get's passed up
through the stack until it reaches the top level function SConscript()
in line 47 where the Python interpreter complains.

Comment out line 81. I've got next error during building:

[...]

File "F:\Instalacije\ray\src\rt\SConscript", line 21

raycalls = env\.Object\(source=&quot;raycalls\.c&#39;\)

SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

Mix of double and single quotes around "raycalls.c"

Thanks Thomas,

When I looked at the error better, you were completely right that error is
in line 47.

Anyway, I've changed this line and also another problem with quotes
+ added one line in header.c file to include "timegm.c" file.

So all 4 files are in attachment, so please Greg or someone else please
check them and include in CVS repository:

   - ray/SConstruct
   - ray/src/common/SConscript
   - ray/src/common/header.c
   - ray/src/rt/SConscript

After this changes, building goes flowless.
Installation is still problematic because there are the same files in
ray/lib and ray/src/gen, like this error below:

SConstruct (2.82 KB)

SConscript (3.52 KB)

header.c (6.74 KB)

SConscript (3.5 KB)

Since no knowledge of Scons, I can't go deeper in this error for the moment.

Thanks again,
