| 14:04.39 | CIA-48 | BRL-CAD: the current setting of compiler flags does not work for the MSVC compiler, it results in a broken build |
| 14:04.39 | CIA-48 | BRL-CAD: (The CMake standard for MSVC is linking with the C-runtime-DLL, which is OK. The ridiculous gcc flags force MSVC to use its own standards: Linking every DLL statically with a separate C-runtime.) |
| 14:05.18 | starseeker | d_rossberg: hmm. I just built with MSVC a day or two ago... |
| 14:05.49 | starseeker | you mean MSVC is mis-interperting a gcc flag? |
| 14:07.10 | d_rossberg | i'm afraid it misinterprets every gcc flag (see the compiler warnings) |
| 14:08.20 | d_rossberg | the gcc flags will only be set for the choosen build type |
| 14:09.25 | d_rossberg | i.e. if you have choosen release for CMake but compiling Debug with your Visual Studio the build could work |
| 14:10.20 | starseeker | winces |
| 14:10.20 | d_rossberg | but otherwise asc2g will crash many time during the build |
| 14:11.13 | starseeker | that business of allowing MSVC and/or XCode to have multiple configs is a real pain |
| 14:11.15 | d_rossberg | btw: i couldn't find a way to build libitcl.dll |
| 14:11.48 | starseeker | you mean it crashes? |
| 14:11.52 | d_rossberg | the CMake defaults are doing a good job for MSVC |
| 14:12.29 | d_rossberg | there are undefined symbols in itcl |
| 14:12.55 | starseeker | brlcad: what's your take - should we let the MSVC defaults ride? |
| 14:13.20 | starseeker | d_rossberg: can you post a build log for itcl? (also, which Visual Studio? I recently built with 10...) |
| 14:23.16 | d_rossberg | do you mean something like this: http://brlcad.org/~rossberg/BuildLog.htm |
| 14:24.35 | d_rossberg | MSVC 2008 (German :) |
| 14:25.28 | starseeker | that looks right... |
| 14:30.22 | d_rossberg | all i did was making a svn checkout and choosing an "aBuild" subdirectory as cmake working directory |
| 14:30.51 | starseeker | what library implements sprintf in MSVC2008? |
| 14:31.20 | starseeker | that looks like we need another MSVC library in the linker line, but I'm not sure which one |
| 14:33.36 | starseeker | this might pertain to one of those linker errors... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894573 |
| 14:35.15 | d_rossberg | sprintf is part of the c-runtime library |
| 14:35.31 | *** join/#brlcad n_reed (~molto_cre@BZ.BZFLAG.BZ) |
| 14:35.38 | starseeker | what do we feed to the linker list to get the c-runtime? |
| 14:41.31 | starseeker | is there a /GS or /Gs flag in the build somewhere? |
| 14:42.09 | d_rossberg | i think saying /MD or /MDd does it, /NODEFAULTLIB would remove all defaults (in this case one had to set the libraries all by hand) |
| 14:43.53 | starseeker | d_rossberg: go ahead and add what you need - I'll try it on 2010 later |
| 14:53.08 | d_rossberg | 1st: it looks like its a problem with the debug configuration, release is ok (at least at the moment) |
| 14:53.41 | brlcad | starseeker: they're obsessing over symbolic links, but that's still ignoring the elephant in the room to me -- just looking at the file name makes it a glorified fnmatch() wrapper |
| 14:54.34 | d_rossberg | then i could compile and link the debug too by changing the c-runtime to debug-dll in the compiler settings |
| 14:55.01 | d_rossberg | it looks like the is somewhere a /MD instead of /MDd ... |
| 15:03.09 | brlcad | how are gcc flags getting added to the msvc build? a simple compile test should ensure that they're detected as non-functional |
| 15:03.20 | brlcad | if they're not, sounds like the compile test is flawed |
| 15:03.25 | starseeker | hah, cool: http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/visdiff |
| 15:04.24 | starseeker | brlcad: if I understood him correctly, it's when you tell CMake one thing for build configuration and then do the other thing in MSVC |
| 15:04.42 | starseeker | XCode probably has similar issues |
| 15:04.58 | brlcad | how would that result in it thinking that -pipe is a valid flag? |
| 15:05.34 | starseeker | d_rossberg: what were the specific errors you were seeing? (and what compile flags were getting passed in?) |
| 15:05.59 | brlcad | there should have been a -pipe test (which fails), and both debug and release configs would use $PIPE_FLAG or whatever so it'd never get added |
| 15:06.30 | starseeker | I don't know if it was pipe specifically |
| 15:06.39 | brlcad | his error log lists a -pipe |
| 15:07.03 | brlcad | if pipe got through, they all would probably get through |
| 15:07.13 | starseeker | d_rossberg: do you happen to have your CMake log handy? |
| 15:08.52 | starseeker | that's the itcl build, it's probably a lot dumber than our mail BRL-CAD build |
| 15:09.44 | starseeker | main even |
| 15:10.27 | starseeker | did he post a build log for the original gcc compile failure? |
| 15:10.45 | brlcad | not that I saw |
| 15:10.51 | starseeker | that'd be the one we need |
| 15:11.38 | brlcad | or examine the build log on our end with that action, cmake as debug, change to release in studio, compile |
| 15:11.44 | d_rossberg | unknown compile flags are ignored (what you can see in the log) |
| 15:12.07 | starseeker | ignored and the compile succeeds? (crud) |
| 15:13.00 | d_rossberg | the problem arise when you replace the reasonable cmake defaults by garbage |
| 15:13.32 | d_rossberg | then you have the msvc defaults, which are not optimal bor brl-cad |
| 15:13.39 | starseeker | clang has that same issue - it'll cheerfully ignore unknown flags and succeed |
| 15:14.15 | starseeker | the cmake defaults shouldn't be getting replaced by garbage though |
| 15:14.19 | d_rossberg | adding garbage is no problem, replacing the right settings is |
| 15:14.44 | starseeker | if we need to add MSVC specific compiler tests to make sure the right MSVC settings are there, then we should do that in CompilerFlags.cmake |
| 15:16.00 | d_rossberg | btw, i think i found the place to chage in the itcl configuration; there are similar settings in other tcl/tk libraries; need some time to test it out |
