I think PE's looking for something stable to include in the Starter Pack, not a "user beware" version.

think so too, having at least some basics in like search functions and mouse-control would be nice.

[Dervish]

I had an idea for a plugin I wanted to share. Something like an auto-mandate, or mandate-manager, that would check if nobles had active construction mandates, and if they did, set up a manager job que for it. Maybe be able to specify materials for jobs with multiple possible. I know workflow does something similar, with item counts, but I'm not sure if mandates are something you can tie into.

I'm also having an issue compiling dfhack. Not sure if I installed the wrong visual studio 2010 express pack or what. I installed the sp1 pack, ruby and it's librarys as well, and am compiling off quietus' branch. google seems to say afxwin.h is only in the retail versions of VS.

[khearn]

In addition, https://github.com/quietust/dfhack/tree/develop contains the change(s) needed to compile DFHack with 0.40.09-10 at the moment.

I just tried building from Quietust's branch (git clone https://github.com/quietust/dfhack.git), and it compiles fine, but when I run dfhack (using df 40.10) I don't get a dfhack console prompt, and when I exit and look at stderr.log, I see that it reports a bunch of dummy symbol entries, then:

Loaded 6 DF symbol tables.
Unable to retrieve version information.
File: /proc/self/exe
MD5: 0b7185da37ac3a729f0972c9aff512ca
working dir: /home/khearn/Desktop/df_linux_40.10
length:17994664
1KB hexdump follows:
<dump snipped>
Not a known DF version.
DFHack will now deactivate.


I've untarred a fresh copy of 40.10 and done the dfhack make install, just to make sure I didn't have any remnants from earlier builds around. Any idea what's going on?

Edit: I guess it would help to mention that this is on Unbuntu Linux 14.04.

Did you update the xml submodules? Check the symbols.xml in df/hack to see if it contains the 40.10 structures for linux.

Code: [Select]

git clone git://github.com/quietust/dfhack.git
cd dfhack
git submodule init
git submodule update
EDIT: I looked at quietust's repo, make sure you clone develop, not master.

[khearn]

Yeah, I did the submodule init and update.  Here are the commands I ran:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

git clone https://github.com/quietust/dfhack.git
cd dfhack
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:string=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/khearn/Desktop/df_linux_40.10
vi CMakeCache.txt
# Fixed ZLIB_LIBRARY:FILEPATH since cmake always finds the 64-bit library and I have to tell it where the 32-bit one is
make install

Then I go to my df_linux_40.10 directory and there is a shiny new dfhack script. I then remove libs/libstdc++.so.6 and run dfhack.

Looking in hack/symbols.xml, there isn't anything newer than 40.08. The same in my source tree in library/xml/symbols.xml. So I'm evidently not getting the right stuff from github. I was using the "HTTPS clone URL" from https://github.com/quietust/dfhack/tree/develop so I'd expect that would get me the develop, not the master.

This is why it's not really sufficient to say "just check github forks and compile." I'm a software engineer with about 25 years of experience, most of that doing build/release engineering, so I'm fairly experienced at  building stuff from source. And even I'm having trouble with it.  It took me a couple of hours to figure out which 32-bit libs I needed and get them all installed so it would build, plus figuring out that cmake was consistently finding the wrong zlib and figuring out how to override that. Heaven help someone with no experience building stuff.

Hmmm, looking on github, I see that library/xml was updated 3 hours ago. I guess I'll try a fresh clone and see if it works any better. The last clone I did was probably shortly before that.

Edit: Ok, I just discovered that I get the same HTTPS clone URL whether I'm on https://github.com/quietust/dfhack/tree/develop or https://github.com/quietust/dfhack/tree/master. So how do I tell git to grab the develop branch, not the master?

Agreed (just shy of 10 years exp here ). If it's stable enough to "just check github forks and compile", why doesn't someone who's successfully done that publish a stable release so there's no guess work?

Cough, zero years of experience here, cough. And I do publish, just get a mac.

Thanks, I just found the same answer on stackoverflow, after searching on github's help section for half an hour in vain. I'm trying a new build, but this one does have 40.10 in library/xml/symbols.xml, so hopefully it'll work better.

   Keith


Edit: Yup, that fixed it. I now have a dfhack prompt and got the warning message about not having a dfhack.init file, so it's at least working at a basic level. I'll make a post in a little while with the steps I had to take to get it to build, so others don't have to repeat my pain.

[Nopenope]

Yes it seems that with his latest commit Quietust's develop branch builds and hooks with no needed additional changes.

Also lethosor, am I missing something or are your own scripts (load-screen settings-manager etc.) missing from the main repo? They're pretty nifty though.

[salithus]

Cough, zero years of experience here, cough. And I do publish, just get a mac.

OP's current Mac release still points to 08.r2 :-P

Really the thing that bothers me most is the fact that the place Keith is having to pull from isn't what's linked in the OP, which is what makes this whole github approach obnoxious to my centralized svn brain.

[Nopenope]

The OP only contains official releases and there's hasn't been one for .10 yet, even though you can still easily build your own once you're set up. But yeah, trying to find the one commit from the one tree from the one repo that will build, hook and run is a little bit like playing hide-and-seek. That's part of a decentralized project I guess, it has ups and downs.

[PeridexisErrant]

I think PE's looking for something stable to include in the Starter Pack, not a "user beware" version.

Yeah. If I wanted a version for myself, that would probably work, but I'd expect to be dealing with errors caused by my inexperience / incompetence for a while. For the people who use the starter packs, that's not really good enough.

Same thing for MDF. But I will start doing the Raws in the meantime.

[lethosor]

The changes in Quietust's develop branch have been merged into DFHack:develop, so this should work now (assuming 'origin' points to DFHack/dfhack and develop tracks origin/develop):

Code: [Select]

git checkout develop && git pull

Code: [Select]

git fetch origin
git checkout developor

Code: [Select]

git clone git://github.com/quietust/dfhack.git -b develop


Instead of making a separate clone, you can add another remote pointing to Quietust's fork (merging changes from different forks is easier with a single clone):

Code: [Select]

git remote add quietust https://github.com/quietust/dfhack
git fetch quietust
git checkout -b newbranch  # optional
git merge quietust/develop


Yes it seems that with his latest commit Quietust's develop branch builds and hooks with no needed additional changes.

Also lethosor, am I missing something or are your own scripts (load-screen settings-manager etc.) missing from the main repo? They're pretty nifty though.

I don't consider them complete enough to include in DFHack officially yet, but you're certainly welcome to test them out.

[khearn]

I've created a wiki page with what I did to get it to build on linux.

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/User:Khearn/DfhackLinuxBuild#HOWTO_build_dfhack_on_linux

It's a first draft, and is no doubt missing stuff, particularly what packages are needed. Please let me know if you notice stuff that's missing. But I do know that the commands work, once you have all the dependencies installed.

I see that some alternate method of getting the sources from github have been posted while I was writing it. I'll take a look at them and possibly update my instructions.

Thanks for all the help,
