Hi Jerome,
The problem I am solving is not all that of or related to ecere per see. This is my investigation of using and extending an environment. Ecere does openGL but it does not mean that it cannot use other library. The main issue is Mingw32 and path problems. I personally will like to use other kits plus Ecere just to learn more, to abstract and to delve into some articles, handouts, tutorials on Game and Multitouch Programming.
The SDL, SFML and Allegro has large user bases with plenty tutorials that could be ported or adapted to ecere environment so using them them from inside ecere will make this possible. No programming tool or environment solves everything. The SDL, SFML, Allegro, etc.. all also make use of other 3rd party libraries and programming languages as extensions to them, its good to see that way.
I am also writing some small, small handouts by adapting and adding to what you have sent to me. This is really well appreciated as this enable me to learn more about ecere. I am knowing the ecere more now than before and the only way is to write for it inside/outside. The next few days before my returning to college from half break means to learn more about what ecere can do for me and how to extend it with others --> "Just my curiosity" but also to learn.
I am currently examining C libraries and to see that a lot of package now have FFI for C++ and other languages as well. Then I went and bought a book --> C interfaces and Implementations by David R. Hanson. So experimenting and learning.
OpenGL abstraction at a very high level is also being sorted after as these students are at A level (advanced GCSE) only.
I hope this clear the way a bit.
I get sym link error but could not find on the forum something related to it:
Code: Select all
SDLTry1-Debug.Makefile - Project has been modified. Updating makefile for Debug config...
Rebuilding project SDLTry1 using the Debug configuration...

[b]SDlTryou1.ec:1:1: error: Couldn't open obj/debug.win32\SDlTryou1.sym[/b]
SDLTry1.exe (Debug) - 1 error, no warning
Any help will be appreciated. I think general MingW in Windows environment is a problem. Some of my other work within MingW32 has to do with path problems. Mingw unable to locate lib, include and nested folders even in other environment like Codeblocks, Dev-C++ and Codelite.
Just Curious --> has anybody try this out: using ecere as a library from other IDE or from other environment?
God blesses!!!
Best regards,
