 |
|
Two questions:
1) Is undig compilable in it's current state? For me, "make install" worked up to dedit where it finally stalled. Running some of the examples that did compile either failed to run completely (halhello: window appears then immediately disappears) or doesn't operate properly (cartoon: no 3D rendering within main window).
2) Has there ever been a way to prevent the console windows from appearing when an undig based project has been run? I realize that undig projects use "main" instead of "winmain" so perhaps removing the console is not possible.
I realize this project is not likely to continue. But I'm just curious to know other people's successes. #2 is of particular interest to me because knowing how to prevent the console window from appearing in windows (with a "main" based program) would be useful to me in other projects.
Thanks,
John |

It's usually tricky to compile undig, but I thought it was possible with the current code. I guess I haven't tried yet with 0.102, though. Something may have broken again.
But none of the programs have run properly for a while. A variety of error messages appear on the console and through messageboxes.  Something is subtly different at runtime. I don't think anyone has spend much time trying to figure out what it is. Several bugs have probably crept in.

I would think that if you add this | Code: | | -L/EXET:NT -L/SU:windows myWinApp.d |
to the DMD options, you would achieve that. I've used this method, but I've never tried it with undig. (By the way, it's in an FAQ.)

Probably some parts of undig will be salvaged will others will be abandoned. |

Ah, yes, it is in the FAQ. Thanks! Unfortunately, this still assumes that I'm using WinMain() in my program. Otherwise, I don't think those switches will succeed in removing the console (well, that's what the linker manual says). I'll play with it and see what happens for interests sake. Of course, now that I think of it, I think undig has an embedded WinMain in the lib... so maybe somehow it does work.
Thanks for the link.
Later,

It works fine with main(). Also, probably you'd want to do /su:windows:4 to avoid some problems. And it should work with unDig too. |

Thanks, Carlos and Justin. The linker switches do indeed work as described even with main() on undig. Digging around, I found that digc actually has an option "windowed" that is supposed to do the same thing. I guess these options weren't being used on the undig examples for the sake of console debugging?
Thanks for your patience. I haven't played with dig for a long time. I guess most of this information could have been discovered with enough searching.
Later,
