Try permuting the order in which you link the libraries. In particular, put libogg.a before libapeg.a
EDIT: actually, try putting libapeg.a just before liballeg.a.

Now got more errors:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `vorbis_block_clear'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `vorbis_dsp_clear'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `ogg_stream_clear'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `ogg_sync_clear'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `theora_clear'

I reinstalled XP

Why?

Do I need to do that? Because I have only the binaries, and not 'cbuild' and 'cbuild install'.

No, because you have the binaries, you do not have to build the package.

Quote:

Then I changed the linkers of my project to:

-lapeg
-logg
-ltheora
-lvorbis
-lvorbisenc
-lalleg

that's good, just make sure that you change them to the order you need them in, as evert alluded to.

But when I try to compile I receive many errors of this type:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `oggpackB_readinit'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `oggpackB_read'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `oggpackB_read'
more undefined references to `oggpackB_read' follow
[Linker error] undefined reference to `oggpackB_readinit'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `oggpackB_read'

Right, so the apeg library is using the ogg library, so I belive you want to include the -logg/vorbis/theora before -lapeg.

C:\Dev-Cpp\Meus\ABCD\testes.o(.text+0x1a9) ld returned 1 exit status
C:\Dev-Cpp\Meus\ABCD\Makefile.win [Build Error] [Testes.exe] Error 1

Right, like you said. That makes sense.

So, even if conditional logic prevents a call from ever happening (ex: when you load your video, it's not ogg/theora/vorbis format), for your code to link properly all of the external dependencies must be known to the linker. So your project is using apeg, which is using (conditionally) ogg/vorbis/theora, etc...

I changed the order, but only got more kinds of errors:

Now not only "ogg", but "theora" and "vorbis" are in conflict too.

This is the order APEG uses for the examples:
-ltheora -lvorbis -lvorbisenc -logg -lapeg -lallegTry that.

Still got the same errors (about vorbis, theora and ogg).

Michael Jensen

it sounds like something else is using theora. vorbis, and ogg, that is being referenced before they are....

Kitty Cat

Member #2,815

Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that APEG's precompiled, and conflicting with the existing Ogg libs.

Right, maybe if it was compiled against a different version, then no matter what order he puts them in, it won't recognize ogg/theora/vorbis, etc because they're the wrong version. Correct?

So.... I need compile APEG.

Trying again:
______________________________________________________

C:\Hangar6\apeg>c:\dev-cpp\bin\mingw32-make.exe
cc -W -Wall -Werror -02 cbuild.c -o cbuid
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), cc -W -Werror -02 cbuild.c -o cbuild, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system couldn't find the file.
c:\dev-cpp\bin\mingw32-make.exe: *** [cbuild] Error 2

C:\Hangar\apeg>

______________________________________________________

Got the same error as before. :-/
I still don't know how to run "make".

Kitty Cat

There's a small bug in the Makefile. Edit it and change $(MINGW) to $(MINGDIR) on the first line.

Or you can compile and run cbuild manually:

gcc -O2 -W -Wall cbuild.c -o cbuild.exe
cbuild.exe

Quote:

That's what you're doing when you run mingw32-make.exe.

I tried to correct the make file, but got the same error.
Then used the "gcc" command. It complained that didn't know the "-02" variable. So I tried without the "-02", and it created the "cbuild.exe" file. So I run the "cbuild.exe", but it showed many errors.
Please see attached file for a screen-shot with the errors.

It seems you need to download and compile the ogg vorbis library. Also, you need to set your MINGDIR variable to point where you have the gcc.exe file.

Okay, there's a few problems with the cbuild script (it should've stopped after complaining about MINGDIR), but the underlying problem is that MINGDIR isn't set. I don't quite remember h ow to set it in Windows... I think it's right-click My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables. Set it to your base MinGW dir (C:\Dev-Cpp in this case, I think). As well, make sure C:\Dev-Cpp\bin is the first thing in your path.

Also, that's -O2, not -02 (capital letter o, not the number zero).

EDIT: I just uploaded APEG 1.1.1 (check my sig), which should fix the makefile and script issues. You'll still need to get the Theora, Vorbis, and Ogg libs and headers installed if you want support for them, though.

My MINGDIR was set to "C:\Dev-Cpp". I changed it to "C:\Dev-Cpp\bin", but got the same errors.
So downloaded the new APEG 1.1.1 and tried to run make in it. But got the same errors again. Then tried to run the "gcc ...." command, but now it stopped saying:
_____________________________________________

Testing for Xv support... tmp.c:2: error: syntax error before "tmp"
tmp.c:2:168: invalid suffix "$" on integer constant
not found

Your MINGDIR environment variable is not set!
_____________________________________________

But the variable IS set. :-/

-----------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
Oh! Got it!
The MINGDIR variable was at my "System Variables", I created the same variable, but now at "Variables for users". Now "make" worked!

I am still trying to correct the problem with the libraries.
-----------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
Ok, how do I compile ogg, theora and vorbis?
There are many makefiles, but they are ".am" and ".in"
I tried to read the docs, but found texts only about the commands.

the APEG Makefile said:

ifneq ($(MINGW)$(DJGPP),)

Shouldn't it be "ifeq"?

No. I want that section to run when MINGDIR or DJDIR does not equal nothing.

Get a sh-compatible shell (such as the one that comes with MSys). Then you can run the configure script and then make.

you might be able to download binaries of those libaries, since I'm assuming that's all you need, and you can compile apeg agains them; also if you're not going to use that functionality, you can disable it before compiliing, and then you will not need them.

Quote:

the "-02" variable

As KC already said it's -O2; but also it means to use a specific type of optimization, there is an -O1 also. I belive -O2 is for speed...?

Quote:

Should be in the allegro instructions...

Last time I looked, I wasn't able to find binaries. :-/ No official ones, anyway.

As for optimization switches:

-O0 - Turn off optimizations. Default
-O1 - Light optimizations for speed
-O2 - More optimizations
-O3 - Heavy optimization. Can potentially break code or cause a performance hit

</li>
You can only use one. If you specify more than one, the last one specified is used.

Hmm... I did't know that about -03 ... I wonder if that's what dev-cpp used by default in a certain 4.x version...

I had downloaded it and compiled a working game with it (that was my own, at the commandline I was passing in -O2); but it crashed left and right, and had all kinds of issues when compiled by dev-cpp's gcc, which also liked to pass in about a page and half of other wierd ass arugments...

moral: don't use dev-cpp!

Kitty Cat

Member #2,815

Note that it's rare for -O3 to cause a crash. The more code trickery you use, the more likely it is to happen, but under normal cirumstances it's fine. Generated code speed is another issue, though. That depends greatly on the code and the processor.

In a sh-shell, you need to use ./configure

I am using the shell that comes with Windows XP.
Used the "cd" command until the "libogg-1.1.2" folder.
There tried:

./configure
/configure
configure

But I got the same answer:

'....' is not recognized as a internal or external command or an operational program.
