| What are the steps to install MinGW in BlitzMax ? |
| ||
| Install it in BlitzMax\MinGW32 and use Brucey's BMK: steps: - install MinGW in C:\YourPathTo\BlitzMax\MinGW32 - Download bmk-master.zip from github.com/bmx-ng/bmk.git (click "download or clone") - unzip bmk-archive - open MaxIDE and open bmk.bmx there, compile "threaded" - rename bmk.mt.exe to bmk.exe and copy bmk.exe + make.bmk + core.bmk to your "C:\YourPathTo\BlitzMax\bin" (overwrite existing bmk.exe) - within MaxIDE do a "rebuild all modules" (or from commandline: "C:\YourPathTo\BlitzMax\bin\bmk.exe makemods -a") When now compiling it tries to use the MinGW installed in BlitzMax. The "lib"-folder of the vanilla BlitzMax is then no longer needed. bye Ron |
| ||
| Thanks You, Where Download MinGW32? |
| ||
| Thanks You, Where Download MinGW32? This should be OK to use. http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download Or you can use the original http://www.mingw.org/ |
| ||
Oops, Error here. Help Me. |
| ||
| What was the error? You did not only "compile" but surely clicked "compile and run". Ignore that error and copy the newly created "bmk.exe" (or the bmk.mt.exe which you have to rename to bmk.exe). bye Ron |
| ||
| Ok, here new error. I am having this error message, any suggestions?  Setup ok?.  All Setup?  |
| ||
| No setup not ok. - install MinGW in C:\YourPathTo\BlitzMax\MinGW32 you installed to C:\YourPathTo\BlitzMax\MinGW (without the important "32"). bye Ron |
| ||
| Opps, only change caption or setup new? |

| Yue, is there a reason why you have to use Multi-threading the first time? I suggest doing single thread only and then figuring out your specific problem later on, that is a time killer and you'll eventually solve this out from this forum. |

| Try rebuilding all modules.. C:/BlitzMax/bin/bmk makemods -a -r this will default to x86, single thread and release build all modules then build your bmk project with the same settings in the editor, if not it will try to rebuild again for that particular project. |
| ||
And maybe you're forgetting your MinGW path in environment variables.. Variable = MinGW Value = C:/Path/To/MinGW |
| ||
| Did you add import "-lwinpthread" to your CreateTerrain.bmx ? @ recompilation this is what I wrote already in the first reply (#2) bye Ron |
| ||
Derrorn, Yes. @RustyKristi  environment variables? |
| ||
| https://vpease.wordpress.com/2015/09/08/variables-de-entorno-en-windows/ Ignore the java part but the first part deals with how to locate the environment variables panel EDIT: Something is definitely wrong with your installation. The Build Module menu option should be enabled all the time, even if you have no opened tabs for building. |

Dir WinG32 on BlitzMax. Within the directory.  Right? |
| ||
| EDIT: Something is definitely wrong with your installation. The Build Module menu option should be enabled all the time, even if you have no opened tabs for building. None of my installations is having this point _not_ greyed out. It is a path-thingy (if MaxIDE does not find MinGW, then it greys it out - and for this it also relies on some BlitzMax-functionality). @ Yue Your code should start with "Strict" and then "Import", not "import" and then "strict". To manually rebuild, I already gave you the command in post #2 (the 6th point). For your setup this means: Open up a command prompt (via "run" and entering "cmd"). Then type in: c: cd c:\BlitzMax\bin bmk.exe makemods -a Then you will have to wait a bit while it compiles all modules. If it fails to compile one of the modules, move that whole module out of the mod-folder until compilation modules finishs. Afterwards you might have a look why these modules failed to compile (if there are failed modules...). bye Ron |
| ||
| Your code should start with "Strict" and then "Import", not "import" and then "strict" I don't think it matters. Lines with Framework, Strict, SuperStrict, Module, ModuleInfo, and Import are all basically the header section. You can mix the order of those as you like. But you can't use them after that. |
| ||
| I assumed that already but thought it is better to do "as all others do" to avoid confusion. Also I did not bother to test if it works vice-versa. bye Ron |
| ||
| Yes, consistent order is pleasing to the eyes ;-) |

| Compile Error: Can't find interface for module 'pub.opengles' This module is only available for BMX-NG. So you cannot use it with original BlitzMax (1.50) now. bye Ron |
| ||
| I do not understand , ie I can not install modules to run ? :( |
| ||
| You can install modules .... This shows, that you successfully installed MinGW (as you are able to compile .c-files) The problem is: the module "OpenB3D" you try to use, is not compatible to "BlitzMax 1.50". To be able to compile it, you need the Module "pub.mod/opengles.mod". But "opengles.mod" is only available for "BlitzMax NG" (Brucey's BlitzMax-variant). bye Ron |
| ||
| Sorry , the problem was that I thought to run modules MinGW32 had to be installed , however, this is not necessary BlitzMax again, desistale MinGW32 and I can run modules as Xors3D etc. Similarly thanks for the help , I think that's one of the drawbacks for not speaking English and using google translator , I can not understand many things and I'm wrong a lot in the process so I ended leaving everything . Thanks Derron .  |
| ||
| MinGW is needed as soon as C-files need to get compiled. If you only write in BlitzMax, you will not encounter it but if you install some modules which are _not_ precompiled and contain these C-files, then you will need to install MinGW. bye Ron |
| ||
| BTW I see you're only trying to compile OpenB3D here, I completely forgot but the latest OpenB3D is broken so there's a huge chance that you can get it to work on your end by rolling back to the previous version or commit that works. Ah, the magic of Git and subversioning! ;-) I think this one: https://github.com/markcwm/openb3d.mod/commit/f152c0280812508814e7bf81f336eacf7d9b65cd This was before the new GL2/GLES2 compatibility and deferred pipeline update with angros47. munch's comment; Sadly any example MAVs instantly and I'm stuck there. Note that it compiles and runs fine in OS/legacy Bmx and that Glew imports OpenGL so this fix shouldn't be needed. Full Discussion here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/post.php?topic=106178&post=1307667 If you're not familiar with Git, I could whip up a clone and upload it later. Sorry I'm out atm.. |

| The problem is: the module "OpenB3D" you try to use, is not compatible to "BlitzMax 1.50". To be able to compile it, you need the Module "pub.mod/opengles.mod". But "opengles.mod" is only available for "BlitzMax NG" (Brucey's BlitzMax-variant). Was this a recent change? The version I installed, Apr 11, 2016, works fine with OS version of Blitzmax. This code compiles and works fine: |
| ||
| Yes the opengles version update was just committed about a week ago. |
| ||
| There are 2 versions of openb3d, where the ng is behind munch version which already has 3d sound module included and updated shader cam modules I think the move now is trying to make it compatible and unify both flavors. |

| Hi, I am exactly in the same situation that Yue. At linking time I get... [100%] Linking:MalangSwara v1.02 - x86.debug.exe C:/BlitzMax/MinGW32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lunicows C:/BlitzMax/MinGW32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwinpthread Build Error: Failed to link F:/MalangSwara/MalangSwara v1.02 - develop/MalangSwara v1.02 - x86.exe process complete As you see, the linker doesn't found something called "unicows" and "winpthread" and is fully right: these files do not exist neither in my hard drive nor in the MinGW site, it seems (neither with the leading "l" -- I assume that the linker has placed it somehow). Things I have done before asking for your help? A lot: - I have upgraded bmk.exe - I have reinstalled MinGW (basic installation, version 5.3.0) inside c:\BlitzMax, in a folder named MinGW32. - I have checked the environment variables (I have created a user one, and I have appended the path to MinGW32 and MinGW32\bin to PATH) - I have recompiled all modules with bmk makemods -a -r (the modules are: brl.mod, maxGUI.mod, pub.mod, wx.mod) with no errors. - I have tried compiling my program both threaded and non threaded mode. And, of course, I have followed the indications you give here. No avail :( -- BTW, all this play began when I tried to install wx.mod. I just placed the pre-compiled version inside the mod folder but It didn't work. I could not recompile because I haven't MinGW installed. THIS is the closest point I have reached to get wx.mod working, what is my ultimate goal. If I roll back the bmk.exe to the old version and recompile the modules, everything goes fine... except wx.mod. The compiler just "doesn't find the interface" -- neither wx.mod nor any other mod outside the BlitzMax installation (version 1.50). Not even the sample files work :O I hope you have some advice for me. Thank you! |
| ||
| unicows is no longer needed if your OS is newer or equal to XP ... To make it available you should copy the file from an older MinGW to your BlitzMax/libs folder - or remove / comment-out the lines in the modules using it (use a file-search-tool and look for "-lunicows"). bye Ron |
