help with compiling boson

ninjaprawn · 2008-05-04 23:49:37

hi, im trying to compile and install "boson"

i download, extract and also cmake with no problems, but when i "make" i get the following error;

make[2]: *** [code/ufo/src/CMakeFiles/ufo.dir/uabstractcontext.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [code/ufo/src/CMakeFiles/ufo.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

i have had a look thru the boson wiki which explains workarounds for a number of problems, but not this one. any ideas??

we probably need some more output than that. Can you give a few more lines?

i dont no if this means anythin cos im not that familiar with cmake, but "ufo/src/CMakeFiles/ufo.dir/uabstractcontext.o" and "ufo/src/CMakeFiles/ufo.dir/all" dont exist!!

In that file you need to add "#include <cmath>" near the top. The package hasn't been updated for the new stricter gcc-4.3

thanks, i found that file, added the line, but when i cmake . and then make, i get exactly the same!! this is wot the first half of the file looks like;

actualy, there is a big difference to the output!

im guessing the problem now is the complaints about "std" and "abs"??

Allan · 2008-05-05 08:55:14

The game hasn't been updated in a long time so you may want to compile it using gcc-3.4. I can't find a patch to get it working with the current gcc but I didn't search very hard...

ninjaprawn · 2008-05-05 08:59:07

thanks for your help! how do i compile using gcc-3.4??

Allan · 2008-05-05 09:03:36

Probably, install gcc-34 and run "CC=gcc-34 CXX=g++-34 cmake". That is just an educated guess though...

ninjaprawn · 2008-05-05 09:53:50

thanks for all your help, i downloaded and compiled gcc34, then tried again, but obviously, cmake had been build on the newer version of gcc, so had to recompile that, n that was it!
