You need to be a bit more specific than just "undefined reference". Copy/paste your entire compilation log, and provide us with the code in question, and maybe we'll be able to help.

Unfortunately, without that, we're more in the dark than you are.

From what I can gather from your post in the other topic, its because you're not linking in -lSDL. Adjust your Makefile so it links it in.

I didn't see any tutorial for makefiles or any of that stuff. nor do i know anything about the -lDSL thing. It is just a tutorial I copied and pasted and added a couple dreamcast things towards:

Code: Select all

#include <kos.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

#include "SDL.h"

#define SCREEN_WIDTH  640
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 480
#define SPRITE_SIZE     32

int gameover;

/* source and destination rectangles */
SDL_Rect rcSrc, rcSprite;

void HandleEvent(SDL_Event event)
{
	switch (event.type) {
		/* close button clicked */
		case SDL_QUIT:
			gameover = 1;
			break;

		/* handle the keyboard */
		case SDL_KEYDOWN:
			switch (event.key.keysym.sym) {
				case SDLK_ESCAPE:
				case SDLK_q:
					gameover = 1;
					break;
				case SDLK_LEFT:
					if ( rcSrc.x == 192 )
						rcSrc.x = 224;
					else
						rcSrc.x = 192;
					rcSprite.x -= 5;
					break;
				case SDLK_RIGHT:
					if ( rcSrc.x == 64 )
						rcSrc.x = 96;
					else
						rcSrc.x = 64;
					rcSprite.x += 5;
					break;
				case SDLK_UP:
					if ( rcSrc.x == 0 )
						rcSrc.x = 32;
					else
						rcSrc.x = 0;
					rcSprite.y -= 5;
					break;
				case SDLK_DOWN:
					if ( rcSrc.x == 128 )
						rcSrc.x = 160;
					else
						rcSrc.x = 128;
					rcSprite.y += 5;
					break;
			}
			break;
	}
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	SDL_Surface *screen, *temp, *sprite, *grass;
	SDL_Rect rcGrass;
	int colorkey;

	/* initialize SDL */
	SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);

	/* set the title bar */
	SDL_WM_SetCaption("SDL Animation", "SDL Animation");

	/* create window */
	screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, 0, 0);

	/* set keyboard repeat */
	SDL_EnableKeyRepeat(70, 70);

	/* load sprite */
	temp   = SDL_LoadBMP("sprite.bmp");
	sprite = SDL_DisplayFormat(temp);
	SDL_FreeSurface(temp);

	/* setup sprite colorkey and turn on RLE */
	colorkey = SDL_MapRGB(screen->format, 255, 0, 255);
	SDL_SetColorKey(sprite, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY | SDL_RLEACCEL, colorkey);

	/* load grass */
	temp  = SDL_LoadBMP("grass.bmp");
	grass = SDL_DisplayFormat(temp);
	SDL_FreeSurface(temp);

	/* set sprite position */
	rcSprite.x = 150;
	rcSprite.y = 150;

	/* set animation frame */
	rcSrc.x = 128;
	rcSrc.y = 0;
	rcSrc.w = SPRITE_SIZE;
	rcSrc.h = SPRITE_SIZE;

	gameover = 0;

	/* message pump */
	while (!gameover)
	{
		SDL_Event event;

		/* look for an event */
		if (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
			HandleEvent(event);
		}

		/* collide with edges of screen */
		if (rcSprite.x <= 0)
			rcSprite.x = 0;
		if (rcSprite.x >= SCREEN_WIDTH - SPRITE_SIZE)
			rcSprite.x = SCREEN_WIDTH - SPRITE_SIZE;

		if (rcSprite.y <= 0)
			rcSprite.y = 0;
		if (rcSprite.y >= SCREEN_HEIGHT - SPRITE_SIZE)
			rcSprite.y = SCREEN_HEIGHT - SPRITE_SIZE;

		/* draw the grass */
		for (int x = 0; x < SCREEN_WIDTH / SPRITE_SIZE; x++) {
			for (int y = 0; y < SCREEN_HEIGHT / SPRITE_SIZE; y++) {
				rcGrass.x = x * SPRITE_SIZE;
				rcGrass.y = y * SPRITE_SIZE;
				SDL_BlitSurface(grass, NULL, screen, &rcGrass);
			}
		}

		/* draw the sprite */
		SDL_BlitSurface(sprite, &rcSrc, screen, &rcSprite);

		/* update the screen */
		SDL_UpdateRect(screen, 0, 0, 0, 0);
	}

	/* clean up */
	SDL_FreeSurface(sprite);
	SDL_FreeSurface(grass);
	SDL_Quit();

	return 0;
}
and the errors are

You're using SDL, so you must link with it. Otherwise you will continue to get the linker errors. Edit your Makefile, and add -lSDL to the libraries you're linking with.

That's really the only advice I can give. Unfortunately, I don't use Code::Blocks, so I can't really tell you how one would do that with it.

Re: undefined reference = pissing me off

Post by DrNicholas »

like this?
TARGET = main.elf
OBJS = main.o

all: rm-elf $(TARGET)

include $(KOS_BASE)/Makefile.rules

clean:
-rm -f $(TARGET) $(OBJS)

rm-elf:
-rm -f $(TARGET)

$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
$(KOS_CC) $(KOS_CFLAGS) $(KOS_LDFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) $(KOS_START) \
$(OBJS) $(OBJEXTRA) -lSDL -lparallax -lpng -lz -lm $(KOS_LIBS)

run: $(TARGET)
$(KOS_LOADER) $(TARGET)

dist:
rm -f $(OBJS)
$(KOS_STRIP) $(TARGET)
still get the error

What do you use? Are you able to test it on the PC?

I'd imagine that somehow Code::Blocks is screwing things up. You need to find out what its doing that would cause it to not link properly. Just adding a Makefile to the project isn't going to do much good if Code::Blocks just ignores it.

That said, I don't use IDEs in general (at least not as IDEs) for Dreamcast stuff. I build all my stuff the old fashioned way, writing the Makefiles and running "make" in a terminal.

Re: undefined reference = pissing me off

Post by DrNicholas »

well ill compile it in kos

so let me guess:
*you code in an IDE/notepad?
*you compile it in kos/cygwin?
*if so, what code do you use to compile in cygwin/kos?

I put my game in the cygwin folder, set cd to it and hit make.
error:
makefile:9: *** missing seperator
make file is exactly the same how it is up there. Could you edit the make file?

If it's exactly as you posted, it's definitely wrong. Indentation is syntactically significant in Makefiles, and must be done with actual tab characters. I don't think it's possible to post this on the forum, as the forum software will convert tabs to spaces even in a code block.

Yes, tabs are very important. Just pick one from the examples dir and this will work.

I compiled something in dev-c++, and it worked!
How can I set up dev-c++ so it will compile for dreamcast?

Hmm, I recommend you to use original cygwin shell and compile in it. And you will get rid of the most of your problems. You can code and edit your files in graphical dev, but compile it in command mode. I think it's the best decision.

Am I still able to test compiled things on windows? Coders cables are extremely rare to come by now.

Of course of course. And as for the encoder cable, especially since buying it, forget it. For such reasons: 1. its not that hard to solder and most 2. this thing is slow enough. You'll be tired up enough to throw through it the program, especially if it larger than 256 Kbytes. 3. a more rapid modification of the cable. For example usb-cable. Soldered by some unknown guy from England, who is personally familiar with Dan Potter (imagine!). Googling about him to the web, I'm pretty sure you'll find his page on the net, his site contains all the calculations and diagrams and etc. But it's certainly not bad if you understand about electronics and blowtorch you hold in the right organs of your body.
=)

P.S. By the way, as for your problem. I was to lame to answer but now I do. you simoply had the problems with linking headers (precede by directive '#include') files, IDE just was unable to find them. So, I've tested my environment, and it did all the job correctly! I've just done all that you've done (configuring using the manual in \Extras\Manuals\), and I'm using the same IDE.
Check, did you correctly filled that Window?

So did you read my post? :grin:
You're lucky. I can't even run modern releases of NullDC due to some glitch in my operation system (I use WinXP SP3 January 2011 with latest updates)
