cmake files for building Newton-2.36

[Emperor2k3]

I wrote a cmake script for Newton-2.36 and published it already in the gentoo bug tracker. On my gentoo linux machine it works. Would be nice if its possible to provide this two small files with the next Newton release, since the original Makefiles are very buggy and inflexible. I did not check it on windows or mac, but maybe someone take a look on it and improve it that it works there without problems, too.

Best regards

yes that will be very cool, but we need to let core 200 rest in peace.

can you make the same cMake for core 300, and I include it with the archive? I cna veryfy teh window and Mac part.
I do not want to go back to core 200, unless is a real crash bug that is stoping some one.

I cannot release a game where all objects fall down to nirvanah as long as I dont get newton 3.00 running with my complex code, newton 2.xx will be the choice.

but carli, I never say to do anything like that.
I am sorry you feel upset, I try to help you wit the problesm you have but I can no take teh chance to run a program that I am consistley warn it has a risk.
Run a scanner on the program or find a different ftp,

I dont have windows, so I cannot install anti virus scanners. I simply cross compile with my linux tools.
Look, Norton and all these anti viruses are just snake oil. They look if programs are not written with the same tools as ICQ, Firefox or MSVC and then reject them because it could be a virus. My game is written in freepascal which has an other initialization mechanism than C/C++. This could lead anti viruses to think it's a descrambler.

I can also pack a linux64 executable or you can try the .exe with wine under linux. This wont have any risk for your productive system.

of course i could do it for core 300, i am on it. i am dealing with some redefinitions right now. but what is with the core 200 release? maybe it is possible to give us a maintenance release with bugfixes, since there is no stable 300 release right now.

now i am running in that SSE instruction issues which other guys already mentioned in the forum

since i am not SSE experienced i have problems to fix that. as far as i can see it is a platform issue affected by GCC/MSVC compiler differences

[Julio Jerez]

there is a define that disable SSE altogether

i managed that already, now i am stucking at the dgThread class.

the member variable m_threadhandle seems not be declared. i will dig further in it.

[Julio Jerez]

you must have an old version, teh tread class does not math what those errors show.
sinc to svn

seems to be, i've made much of porting stuff already but there are files missing now. i used the alpha version of 3.00 from 4th of February. seems that i have to make a patch from my changes i have now an merge them into the recent svn version...

[Julio Jerez]

you need to get svn version. many of the issues you have, had being resolved

[Emperor2k3]

okay i have almost done it with the recent SVN version. i just was able to compile everything except of some packages: dCompilerKit, dContainers and dVisualDebuggerServer
i commented them out in the cmake file, so that me or some other can take a look on it later.

[Julio Jerez]

where do I put it?

[Emperor2k3]

where do I put it?

unpack it to the root folder of the rar file / repository, where applications , coreLibrary_300 and packages lives
