Building Gideros

rrraptor

Ok, I think a separated thread is required

@hgy29 so, I tried to build ui project, but no luck. Fixed

#include < ScintillaEdit/ScintillaEdit.h >

header error, but got another one:

#include < Qsci/qsciscintilla.h >

I thought that it should be using new "Scintilla" lib. I guess output widget is using "qscintilla" or something else?

Then I decided to use make file.
Installed packages using "pacman", downloaded android NDK, SDK, java, NSIS, sign tool and steam SDK. Skipped EMScripten, since I dont need it (or do I?), configured Makefile.def, and called

make -f scripts/Makefile.gid qtapp.intall

First, I got "steam_api.h" is missing, but seems like it is not required (I mean, I can build gideros without it?), then I got an error says something like "dll is required" when it tries to compile something that uses GReferenced (sorry, I cant post detailed log right now...), and I gave up for now

hgy29

If the source code ends up trying to load Qsci/qcintilla.h, then it is because it didn't find ScintillaEdit.h somehow.
For steam, since you downloaded it, you can reference it in your Makefile.def as follow:

STEAMSDK=/c/Applications/steamworks_sdk_142 export STEAMSDK

But you'll need MSBuild (from visual studio) to build it anyhow.
First steps to build the Gideros, after setting up the Makefile.def are:

make -f scripts/Makefile.gid qscintilla make -f scripts/Makefile.gid qlexilla make -f scripts/Makefile.gid versioning

Then you can launch QT build with

make -f scripts/Makefile.gid qtapp.intall

There are two specific plugins which use MSBuild: steam and spout. If they stop you from building Gideros, maybe you can just remove them from Makefile.gid for now.

Ah, about QT installation for the studio, you'll need QT 6.2.2 with mingw 9.0.0, Qt 5 compatibility module, and following additional Qt libraries: Qt Multimedia and Qt Websockets

I did that and I have VS installed (community 2022)

Also done.

This might be the problem...

Btw, this line:
https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/ea9962e78f6b2de7144cdbadb5ca77bb1f810eae/ui/mainwindow.h#L12

Not this:
https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/ea9962e78f6b2de7144cdbadb5ca77bb1f810eae/ui/textedit.h#L8

hgy29

Ok, that's probably unneeded, something I forgot to remove and which doesn't crash since I still have QsciScintilla installed. It needs some cleanup

Thats weird, I have MSBuild, but removing steam and spout plugins worked.


Config:

QTBASEDIR=/d/Soft/Qt6 MAKEJOBS=-j8 NDKBUILD=cmd //c /d/Coding/AndroidNDK_r17c JAVA_HOME=S:\Soft\Android Studio\jre ANDROID_HOME=d:\\\\Coding\\\\AndroidSDK FXC="/c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/bin/10.0.19041.0/x86/fxc.exe" MSBUILD="/f/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/MSbuild/Current/Bin/MSBuild.exe"   STEAMSDK=/d/Coding/SteamSDK_153a export STEAMSDK   WIN32_BIN=/mingw32/bin export WIN32_BIN   CRUNCHME=crunchme-qt-win.exe NSIS=cmd //c "/d/Coding/NSIS/makensis.exe" WIN_SIGN="/c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/bin/10.0.22000.0/x86/signtool.exe"   QT_ARCH=mingw_64 QT_TOOLSARCH=mingw900_64 QTVER=6.2.2 QT5ICUVER=54

Now Im gettings this:

textedit.cpp:14:10: fatal error: Lexillia/Lexilla.h: No such file or directory 14 | #include <Lexillia/Lexilla.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated.

Lexilla is compiled...

rrraptor

Ok, nevermind, ther is a typo
"Lexillia
must be
"Lexilla"

hgy29

Please remove the second i in Lexillia/Lexilla.h include directive. I copied my files by hand the first time so I probably misnamed the folder

rrraptor

Finally

@hgy29 I had to add

#include < QTimer >

in mainwindow.cpp

rrraptor

make -f scripts/Makefile.gid prep.repo

Does not work with scintilla & lexilla. Is says that it is already exist, but there is only empty folder.


Probably because of ignored .submodule file?

MoKaLux

Sorry to interrupt rrraptor,
I am trying to build gideros luau on my windows 10 64bit machine
When doing pacman –S base-devel, it says there are 19 members in group, which one do I choose?
1) mingw-w64-i686-binutils 2) mingw-w64-i686-crt-git
3) mingw-w64-i686-gcc 4) mingw-w64-i686-gcc-ada
5) mingw-w64-i686-gcc-fortran 6) mingw-w64-i686-gcc-libgfortran
7) mingw-w64-i686-gcc-libs 8) mingw-w64-i686-gcc-objc
9) mingw-w64-i686-gdb 10) mingw-w64-i686-gdb-multiarch
11) mingw-w64-i686-headers-git 12) mingw-w64-i686-libgccjit
13) mingw-w64-i686-libmangle-git 14) mingw-w64-i686-libwinpthread-git
15) mingw-w64-i686-make 16) mingw-w64-i686-pkgconf
17) mingw-w64-i686-tools-git 18) mingw-w64-i686-winpthreads-git
19) mingw-w64-i686-winstorecompat-git

I would pick 17?
EDIT: I think this is for pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain or pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-glew not for pacman –S base-devel

@MoKaLux Idk

rrraptor

So, I spent 2 days trying to find out why scintilla adds padding on top of first line, but found nothing...

QFrame { border-top: 4px solid #00ff00; padding: 10px; background: #ff0000; }

I tried different styles, tried to add names to widgets:

In cpp files: AnyWidget->setObjectName("MyName");   In qss style: QObject#MyName { ... }

and some other stuff I dont even remember

rrraptor my two cents: https://github.com/gideros/scintilla/blob/master/qt/ScintillaEditBase/Notes.txt

During my exploration I came across this:
C:\dev\scintilla-master\qt\ScintillaEditBase\ScintillaEditBase.cpp:335: warning: 'QPoint QMouseEvent::globalPos() const' is deprecated: Use globalPosition()
and I was able to change it to:
globalPosition().toPoint() https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-dev/qmouseevent-obsolete.html

But that's it, I cannot compile any Gideros yet

PS: I started a wiki page with my experiments https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Compiling_Gideros_Luau_Source

At what phase are you stuck?

Probably not what I need.

I am lost in the order of doing things. I am following the old way of building gideros.

I also "compiled" all your posts with hgy29 in a libreoffice .doc and I am trying to mix what you said with the old wiki.

For NSIS do I simply install the exe?
For Sign Tool does it come with Visual Studio Community 2022? I need to install the package to develop for desktop to have the Sign Tool?
When I have compiled the dll for Scintilla and Lexilla (release and debug) where do I put them?
...

Thank you

PS: can't wait for the highlighting code you did

rrraptor

MoKaLux said:

Yes, and edit Makefile.def

You can download windows 10 SDK, and install only sign tool
https://developer.microsoft.com/ru-ru/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/

After you installed msys and make, run script

make scripts/Makefile.gid qscintilla
make scripts/Makefile.gid qlexilla

Now you should have "Lexilla.h" in a folder:

Qt6\6.2.2\mingw_64\include\Lexilla

Next, open at project

GIT_REPO\scintilla\qt\ScintillaEdit\ScintillaEdit.pro

You can build both debug & release versions, but if dont want to mess with gideros sources, then you can have only release version
uncheck "Shadow build"

Hit CTRL+B (or Menu->Build->Build project "ScintillaEdit")
Same for

GIT_REPO\lexilla\src\Lexilla.pro

rrraptor

Atleast this is what I did

rrraptor

Finally

make -f scripts/Makefile.gid qtapp.install

MoKaLux

will do, thank you rrraptor

EDIT: tried without any luck but at least I tried
EDIT: made some progress see below posts from rrraptor

After setting up the Makefile.def, in MSYS2 32 bit shell navigate to your Gideros repo:
cd gideros
Then the first steps to build Gideros are:
make -f scripts/Makefile.gid qscintilla
make -f scripts/Makefile.gid qlexilla
make -f scripts/Makefile.gid versioning

The first part up to configure script seemed pretty straight forward.

My biggest problems were in part 3) Building Gideros. Scintilla and lexilla although I could successfully compile them inside Qt 6.2.3, I didn't know what to do with them. The commands didn't work for me.

That was still a good experience and something of a wiki has been started

Will try another day, another time

rrraptor

@MoKaLux why it says "MINGW32"?



Try to use this: \msys64\usr\bin\mintty.exe

rrraptor

Also, note -f flag!

@hgy29

what can I do about this:

I don't know but since the error is similar, maybe this: http://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/comment/54576/#Comment_54576

Ok, which version I need?

hgy29

I'd say the latest should be OK

@MoKaLux I tried to compile lexilla and scintilla on a new pc with only QT6 installed and had no problems

Minimal steps:
1) Install QT (with all packages required)
2) Install MSYS2 (https://www.msys2.org/)
2a) pacman -Syu
2b) pacman -S make
2c) pacman -S git
3) git clone https://github.com/gideros/gideros gideros_dev
4) Create Makefile.def in scripts folder:

QTBASEDIR=/d/Qt6 MAKEJOBS=-j8 #maybe not required? QT_ARCH=mingw_64 QT_TOOLSARCH=mingw900_64 QTVER=6.2.2

5) make -f scripts/Makefile.gid prep.repo
6) make -f scripts/Makefile.gid qlexilla
7) make -f scripts/Makefile.gid qscintilla

MoKaLux

I am making some progress rrraptor

5) make -f scripts/Makefile.gid prep.repo WORKED

This is GidQtWin.mk
qlexilla:
cd $(ROOT)/lexilla/src; $(QMAKE) Lexilla.pro # this is line 85

qscintilla:
cd $(ROOT)/scintilla/qt/ScintillaEdit; $(QMAKE) ScintillaEdit.pro # this is line 79

So it looks like QMAKE is the problem for me!

MoKaLux

edit: I have MinGW 11 and not MinGW 9 that may be the issue.
I am uninstalling Qt 6.2.3 and go with Qt 6.2.2 see what I can do.
Viva Gideros!
