j3d-core d3d compilation...

#1

After modifying build.xml to ensure “vc” is the compiler while “d3d” is used to render, I obtained the following error messages during “ant” compilation. What else should I revise to compile j3d-core with d3d rendering support?

problem solved.

Revise build-windows-i586-vc.xml to the following:

  	<property environment="env"/>
    <property name="javaInclude"
     location="${java.home}/../include"/>

    <property name="javaWin32Include"
     location="${java.home}/../include/win32"/>
  	
  	<property name="dxhomeInclude" 
  		location="${env.DXSDK_DIR}/include"/>
  	
  	<property name="sdkhomeInclude" 
  		location="${env.WindowsSdkDir}/include"/>
.... (loads of the other staffs)

Anyway, the purpose is just to let j3d-core to find d3d header files and libraries.

How to make CG compiled with j3d-core?

I tried

>ant -DCOMPILE_CG_SHADERS=1

but

j3dcore-ogl-cg.dll

is not produced.

After “ant debug”, I found the building process never goes into

"




"
of file “build-windows-i586-vc.xml”, which seems to tell “build.cg” is not true.

I searched in j3d-core folder, and found “build.cg” only exists in file “build-windows-i586-vc.xml”.

Therefore, “build.cg” is not defined at all???

I’ll remove it and have a go.

Alright…

I guess there must be some specific compilation parameters to compile in different ways. For j3d-core, there must be two:

j3dcore-ogl-chk.dll and j3dcore-ogl-cg.dll

But, what are those two specific compilation configuration parameters?
