Re: [pygame] Re: Adding a new extension to the Windows compilation order



Hi Tyler,

Windows is messy. I would say just get it working properly with Unix. The Windows linkages can be worked on later.

Thanks Lenard,

I have it compiling and linking and everything. However, the windows and the linux versions require very different library linking. So right now I've got two separate lines in Setup.in, one that is for windows, and one that is for Linux. Just comment or decomment them. The problem, however, is, is there a way to have the ./configure selectively use one line or the other?

I also ran into a problem executing my module, once compiled and linked together correctly:

0 [main] us 0 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to us.stackdump
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "movie_test.py", line 7, in <module>
    import pygame._movie as movie
ImportError: DLL load failed: Invalid access to memory location.

I'm going to do a bunch of documentation updates, and then turn back to the windows functionality. I don't think I'll get it(windows port) in time for the pencils down deadline on monday. At the very least, it will be an alpha release.

Sorry guys, I overestimated the difficulty of the project. I will do what I can over the next school semester to get it to a much more capable and stable state.

    Hi Tyler,

    For external dependencies the Dependency class in config_msys.py
    has an optional libs argument. I believe it is what you want. Just
    set it to a list of library root names.

    Here is the ffmpeg library I built:

    http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/experimental/ffmpeg.tar.gz

    md5sum:
    db4d51a61dbd56a1453e332774dfa494

    It was cross compiled with from linux with mingw. I added ffmpeg
    to msys_build_deps.py on your branch. It sets the
    --enable-memalign-hack flag for configure, so maybe that is what
    is needed for the stack error. If you use the prebuilt library
    then unzip the file into the prebuilt directory. You will need to
    add ffmpeg to prebuilt\Config_Win.in. If you so me the part of the
    Setup file that is between "#--StartConfig" and "#--EndConfig" I
    will give you an undated version and also add it to
    prebuilt-template in your branch.

        Unfortunately, I get an error when I execute my module, that
        says basically

        "Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been
        miscompiled
        and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
        but in the compiler. Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers."

        It suggest recompiling with gcc4.2 or greater, so I've been
        trying to get a mingw version of gcc, 4.2 or greater, but it
        fails everytime. I do recall someone managing to compile the
        ffmpeg libraries before on windows? If I could get those, I
        have a feeling, things will work properly.

        But I don't think we will have windows functionality for the
        module just yet, unfortunately. *sighs*

           I finally got it working. It was dependent on the order of the
           libraries, as well as two extra libraries, winsock and

           would I go about adding these flags only for windows
        compilation?

                      Hi Tyler,

                      Ignore config_win.py. It is for using the
        prebuilts and
                   stuff
                      compiled with Visual C++. Visual C++ prebuilt
                   compilation has not
                      been maintained for awhile and is moot anyway since
                   ffmpeg is not
                      designed to compile with it. So add ffmpeg to
        config_mys.py
                      instead. This will use msys/1.0/local/ stuff.
        You have
                   to add a
                      separate Dependency inststance for each shared
        library
                   of ffmpeg.
                      I have already added the ffmpeg libraries to
        dll.py, so
                   look there
                      for the names to use: AVCODEC, AVFORMAT and so on. I
                   see I did not
                      update the prebuilt-template\Config_Win.in for
        ffmpeg.
                   It is used
                      with the prebuilts.

                   Thanks Lenard, I'll try that tomorrow. Do you guys
        mind if
                   I add a big documentation note to config_win.py that it
                   hasn't been updated or maintained in awhile? Just so no
                   one else goes down the same fruitless red brick
        road as I
                   did, lol.

                   :)

               Please do. Obviously the note at the top about file
        searches
               being broken was too subtle a warning. If you do place the
               warning at the top just be sure to mention that
               setup_prebuilt() is still relevant and used.

               Lenard
