[EDIT] All Compiling Issues solved - Now... how to contribut

Finally I got my VS08 to compile all the projects in the SDK's Solution except 'freeorionca'.
When trying to compile this i get following error.

Code:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pyconfig.h': No such file or directory   d:\Projekte\FreeOrion_SDK\Boost\include\boost-1_36\boost\python\detail\wrap_python.hpp

In wrap_python.hpp there's the line '#include <pyconfig.h>'.

I've got Python 2.6.1. installed and just don't know where this error message comes from.
Do i have to tell VS in the project, where to get pyconfig.h? Where to GET pyconfig.h?
Any help?

Ok, FYI:

As i used Python26 i had to change all paths to c:\python25 in the projects properties...
So FreeOrion compiles on my machine now =)

But I get a runtime exception now:

Code:

main() caught exception(std::runtime_error): Failed to find an Ogre GL render system.

As I was writing this, the answer was posted, but I'll post anyway in case this is a bit clearer...

Did you adjust the python include directory in the freeorionca project?

Right click on the freeorionca project in the solution explorer and select properties. In the C++ section, general section, there is an additional include directories entry. You need to change C:\Python25\include to wherever your python install has its include files.

You might also need to tell the linker section, input section, additional dependencies entry to use python26.lib instead of python25.lib and then copy python25.dll into the freeorion main directory.

Edit: For the Ogre error, post ogre.log, which should be in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\FreeOrion on Vista.

Where in the SDK does Ogre exactly be in?

Looks like the FreeOrion SDK is still missing Plugin_CgProgramManager.dll and cg.dll. These should be in the Ogre SDK and need to be put into the FreeOrion directory.

Eventually the FO SDK should get updated, eliminating this step.

I can't figure out what that is trying to ask...

With the two files from the Ogre SDK you mentioned, i got FO to run to tha main menu, but when i try to click the single player menu item the game crashes...
Is it possible that i should really use Python 2.5.4 instead of 2.6.1?
If so... with Python 2.5.4 my freeorionca project doesn't compile... (with 2.6.1 it does!)
Getting this many errors of this type:

Code:

Error   1   error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp___Py_NoneStruct   PythonLoggingWrapper.obj   freeorionca

Ideas?

Found out, that the Linker does not forgive me using a 64bit distro of Python. So Python 2.5 (x86) is now working fine for me, but again, when i start a single game, and create my galaxy, the freeoriond.exe crashes when "Creating Galaxy and AIs".

Help!

Found out, that the game writes these three lines to the console when i start the freeorion.exe

Code:

error at or after the indicated point on line 1:
Hull
^

Are there any log files written, which have a possibility to help me?

EDIT: btw. the installer release version of the game is playable well and does not crash, only the one from the sdk, self compiled with msvc2008

Re-Built zlib and libpng like mentioned here.
Nothing changed...

The PROBLRM again:

Found out, that the game writes these three lines to the console when i start the freeorion.exe

Code:

error at or after the indicated point on line 1:

^

When I want to start a single player match and click on create galaxy in the dialog, the screen says "Creating Galaxy and AIs" and then freeoriond.exe crashes...

I just want to run it .... =(

Do you or did you have an installed version of FreeOrion on the same system? If so, you may need to delete config.xml in the same directory as ogre.log. It's probably storing the location of the data files (in which hulls are defined) which is for the installed version. The SVN version has updated the format of hull (and other things') definitions, meaning if you try to use the installed version of the hulls definition file with the SVN freeorion, it would produce the output you're seeing. Old versions of config.xml often need to be removed when you've got different versions of data files in multiple locations.

hooray!
now its works perfectly. thanks!
...
Now it's crashing when I "Resign" from the game (the whole AppData-Folder is empty now)....
That normal?

Going to bed now. It's 1:00am here and tomorrow's work =)

That doesn't happen for me. Is it crashing in a particular way? What's in freeorion.log, freeoriond.log and freeorionca.log?

erm....
Updated to newest SVN Version today and the crash when resigning is gone...

OK, as I'm new to contribute in open source software, what do i do next, to help?

Essentially, you pick a task (programming or otherwise) you want to work on, and then post whatever changes you've made to accomplish that task on the forums. This might be posting a text file or art, or a svn diff patch file for source code changes, or whole updated files that you've changed or added.

If you need help, posting on the forums is the best way, regardless of what you're working on (programming, art, content creation...).

If you need a programming task, you can have a look at the Programming Work article on the wiki. Most of the tasks are fairly involved or complicated and might be a bit daunting to start off, but digging in and figuring out how things work is probably the best way to learn. Most people who start with a smaller, relatively independent task don't seem to stick around very long after working on it, so perhaps the more involved one would be more motivating long term...?

Many of the tasks listed are UI-related, which means they likely involve another set of classes to learn and use, and that you can see the results easily right on the screen. If you feel like getting into UI work, playing around with the UI is sure to reveal some rough edges and motivate some interest in working on something in particular.

Feel free to ask for more details about anything you're interested in working on from the Programming Work page, or to suggest something to work on for yourself that's not listed.

Thank you, Geoff. You've got a very nice way to talk to people =)

How to get sure, that i'm not picking a task, somebody else already picked?
