GladeToBac compilation problems

[wumfi]

Good morning,

I have been struggling all morning here trying to get GladeToBac to run.

This is on a linux (debian) box.

I have installed Glade 3.18.3 and FreeBASIC Compiler 1.05.0. Both of these are running fine.

I downloaded Gladetobac from freebasic-portal.de.

Unzipped the gladetobac file and attempted to compile from src. I had a failure stating the libintl.bi was missing, so I googled and got/created that file - it's odd that I was missing that? Perhaps it's because the software is from a .de site and I'm in the UK (so it's needed for language conversion or something).

When I try to compile, I get a lot of errors which look like basic syntax problems. I suspect however that I am missing something so that the compiler can't find the relevant functions.

I have been googling around but I can't find anything that relates to this. If I've missed something obvious, please forgive me.

Any ideas?

Good evening,

the code is not fully compatible with FreeBasic 1.05.

Change this in the main module GladeToBac.bas:

Code: Select all

#IF DEFINED(__FB_WIN32__)   '<======= change
  '#LIBPATH "C:/opt/Gtk+" ' place path to your GTK-dev here
  #LIBPATH "C:/opt/GTK-2.24.0/lib"
  #DEFINE SLASH "\"
  #DEFINE NL !"\r\n"
  #DEFINE ORDNER "C:\project\"
  #DEFINE EXAMPLE "C:\programs\" & PROJ_NAME & "\bin\" & PROJ_NAME & " "
#ELSEIF DEFINED(__FB_LINUX__)  '<========= change
  #DEFINE SLASH "/"
  #DEFINE NL !"\n"
  #DEFINE ORDNER "~/project/"
  #DEFINE EXAMPLE "/home/user/" & PROJ_NAME & "/" & PROJ_NAME & " "
#ELSE
  #ERROR pla

And add one line / change these lines in FUNCTION codingTobacDef (in the source member GladeToBac_CodeBas.bas:

Code: Select all

FUNCTION codingTobacDef(BYREF W AS STRING, BYREF T AS STRING) AS INTEGER
 var fl  = null  '<=========  add
  WITH _UI_.Xml
 '   VAR fl = STACK_ANZ(.Ref) + LEN(.WiMa)    '<========= change
    fl = STACK_ANZ(.Ref) + LEN(.WiMa)     '<========= change
    IF LEN(.TyNa) THEN '                 

Then it will compile without any errors.

Have fun,
Haegar

Sorry for the delay, but this worked great. Thank you very much!

EDIT: Looks like I was too quick there! Still having problems. I get a number of warnings (which I assume are ok), and then one error:

Any ideas?

Thank you again.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

Hello Pete,

I have no clue what's going wrong on your side.
Just tried to compile the source on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS box (in my first answer I used Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and it works perfectly after having applied the changes I mentioned earlier.
Did you change anything else in the source?
Maybe you should download the source again and apply only the changes shown above ...

Can you please supply some more info, such as:

• 32/64 bit FBC + version
• OS WIN/LIN + bitness + version

Reason: you guys are probably not speaking: "exactly the same language".

[haegartheroot]

For your info: I am on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS 32-bit + gtk 3.18.9 + glade 3.18.3 + FreeBasic fbc 1.05.0 32-bit.

Here's the proof with an error-free compile:

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been on holiday.

Since my last posts, I've moved across to Linux Mint 18, but I'm still having the same issues.

I've done a complete reinstall of Freebasic, GTK3 and Glade. I also went and grabbed the libintl.bi file from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freeb ... libintl.bi <-- Not sure why this file is missing from my install?

To answer your questions:

and

FUNCTION codingTobacDef(BYREF W AS STRING, BYREF T AS STRING) AS INTEGER
 var fl = null
  WITH _UI_.Xml
    'VAR fl = STACK_ANZ(.Ref) + LEN(.WiMa)

Same thing! :(

hi wumfi,

you (wumfi) are using FBC 64, while (haegar...) is using FBC 32 ... think about it ...

[wumfi]

Oh! Apologies, I didn't spot that!

The question remains however... Is it possible to compile this under 64 bit Linux? Or is it that Gladetobac was specifically written for the 32 bit version?

[MrSwiss]

Or is it that Gladetobac was specifically written for the 32 bit version?

It's historical (to FBC), in the beginning, there simply wasn't a 64bit version available ...
So, yes, probably needs some re-coding, to become compatible with FBC 64.

[wumfi]

Ok. Thank you all for your help in this thread.
