DrawCardLib

[foolosopher]

HI,

I am giving up on the cygwin enviroment.
Set up MINGW-Msys-Gtk+ according to

http://modulatum.wordpress.com/2008/06/ ... ing-mingw/

seems OK but got the below results,
didn't check it thoroughly but the mistakes are wrong I think
ssize_t is declared from what I saw.
Could it be from not recognizing some library?
Will check it again later

First what version of gcc ; gcc -v
Second that guide has old links you get gtk bundle from http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php and gcc from http://mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Install_the ... iler_Suite
Then depending where you got your gcc you might need to include sys/types.h for ssize_t (this is where it lives), however a stdlib.h import should include stddef.h which includes sys/types.h and it worked for you under cygwin.

You can redownload http://www.mediafire.com/?bhp6dioa91zj2a9 , I've made some changes so it should work for you under mingw and probably cygwin.

These are the links that I also found but thanks anyway. The new version works like a charm for Mingw, my cygwin still complains, but I 'll check it again later. So... what's next?

I don't use cygwin so I assumed it would work without any changes, I guessed wrong then.

Now you can test if it works you can copy DrawCardLib.dll to you manalink directory. You will need all the dependencies in your path (you can check what dll depends on with ex. dependecy walker)
This are most likely all the dependencies:

Code: Select all

freetype6.dll
libcairo-2.dll
libcairo-gobject-2.dll
libexpat-1.dll
libfontconfig-1.dll
libglib-2.0-0.dll
libgmodule-2.0-0.dll
libgobject-2.0-0.dll
libgthread-2.0-0.dll
libpango-1.0-0.dll
libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll
libpangoft2-1.0-0.dll
libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll
libpng14-14.dll
zlib1.dll


You can then read the code and start hacking . All the bare bones to interact with Magic.exe are pretty much written.
I was also wondering if CardArtLib.dll shouldn't be made too as it's needed for Shandalar (rendering card artwork somewhere). CardArtLib is an image cache it was used both in this dll and Shandalar. It has some not that useful methods and could be coded in C++ (collections in stl).

OK seems that you have included most of the libraries already.
You 'll see how it looks in the attached pic.
Dunno why some pics are missing from main screen, will check
One other thing when you try to concede the program breaks.

That's from me. Any other news?

You have to have CardRes folder in your Manalink directory. It contains the new resources used for generating card images. All the symbols / mana strips are rendered by Manalink.
