Brian Joined: 03/08/07 Posts: 7 Posted: 05/02/07 19:46:47 The problem is that after installing Tango, my installation was not able to find Tango with anything but bud/build. I just found the -test option in bud and was able to trace back to the root of the problem. I was using an older install that didn't have Tango built into a static library. I remember there was a thread about this in another forum which led me to upgrade my OS/X installation. I uninstalled Tango and installed the new version from the interactive installer. After making some tweaks to Code::Blocks configurations, I got it working. The debugger is still not working but that's not Tango's fault. Having Tango in a static lib is what I meant in the previous post by a "Standard" 3d party library. In the other version, Tango came as a collection of .obj files, and Code::Blocks couldn't deal with it easily. Neither could dmd for that matter. You had to supply the path to every single one of Tango's object files somehow. That's why bud/build worked so well: it did that for you. Well, thanx anyway. Tango IS a great product; it just had some limitations with that older release I guess. Brian larsivi Joined: 03/27/04 Posts: 613 Posted: 05/12/07 13:34:58 Brian; in the latest svn version, you will now find a build-tango.sh script in lib/ which should build libgtango.a for you (if you have gdmd installed). It is not tested on OSX yet, so I would really like to hear your experiences. And I would also very much like to hear what uname outputs there - I'm currently just assuming that it's Mac/Darwin/OSX as long as it is not Linux.
We are in the process of sorting out library building issues, but in theory it is no problem building a static library of Tango just like any other library. There is a dsss.conf in trunk that will build a library for each package with the command
dsss build
This was not actually possible on Win32 until very recently. There's still some problems to be ironed out, as the recent NG activity related to linkers + libs will attest to :)
I've managed to pack tango into a lib, thanks. So I can use it under CB now. Should take a closer look at dsss, though.
BTW, I tried to link with watcom 1.6 linker but I get plenty of unresolved symbols. Where are they defined? Which library I forget to link?

I uninstalled Tango and installed the new version from the interactive installer. After making some tweaks to Code::Blocks configurations, I got it working. The debugger is still not working but that's not Tango's fault.
Having Tango in a static lib is what I meant in the previous post by a "Standard" 3d party library. In the other version, Tango came as a collection of .obj files, and Code::Blocks couldn't deal with it easily. Neither could dmd for that matter. You had to supply the path to every single one of Tango's object files somehow. That's why bud/build worked so well: it did that for you.
Well, thanx anyway. Tango IS a great product; it just had some limitations with that older release I guess.
Brian; in the latest svn version, you will now find a build-tango.sh script in lib/ which should build libgtango.a for you (if you have gdmd installed). It is not tested on OSX yet, so I would really like to hear your experiences. And I would also very much like to hear what uname outputs there - I'm currently just assuming that it's Mac/Darwin/OSX as long as it is not Linux.
