I used to with the old manalink2 csv files, as Excel2003 had a big problem corrupting the rules text entries importing the csv files.
The problem is now the Manalink3 file is massive in comparison to its predecessor and Libre Office all but grinds to a halt when trying to process this much data.

As Mok originally created the Manalink3 files in xls, Gargaroz and I tend to work and exchange the files in this format as Excel handles spreadsheet files this size with no problem and it avoids corrupting the text entries.

Unfortunately, LibreOffice also don't have some features that were available in Excel2k3, like color filter or an easier search engine...

Together with putting info in the Manalink3.0 wiki pages for the challenges I have inserted info for the Draft,too.

Hello guys, it seems you have your work and tools cut out for you.
AJ, thanks for filling in the wiki, I was planning like forever to do it sometime.
Ok, on the draft subject now, I checked the expansions.h from the January and May updates and they have the same expansions, hence no need of update for draft on that matter, (unless I missed something). Not that an update is not needed, but.
Anyway, things that are in my list, apart from adding new expansions to draft when added in Manalink are:
- A bug in singleton, when choosing the same expansion, cards reappear once per draft circle.
- Make a new GUI for the expansion selection in draft, using gdk
- Repair the support for custom sets
- Add the other forms of draft (rotiserrie etc.)

If only, I had some time...
"patience is a virtue"

Hey guys,
I see you been busy and new faces came along, so we 're gaining momentum.
Anyway, I finally found some spare time and 've been trying to fix up a new GUI for the expansion selection in draft, but I 've stumbled upon the makefile. I 've made a few things with gtk but can't add the damn lib properly in the makefile that we 're using.
The error that I get is

cards/draft.c:13:25: gtk-2.0/gtk.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [cards/draft.o] Error 1

In order to use the gtk library I am supposed to add `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` or the proper library, but I can't make it work.
Anyway I know that the libs exist because if I type this at the shell I get

C:\camelbox\bin>pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0
-mms-bitfields -IC:/camelbox/include/gtk-2.0 -IC:/camelbox/lib/gtk-2.0/include -

ngo-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl

When I add the `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` in the makefile, I get
abnormal program termination
C:\Users\5BAC~1\AppData\Local\Temp\make51282.sh: fork failed: no error [1]
make: *** [cards/draft.o] Error 1

and a message that sh.exe has stopped working.
Anyone got any ideas, would be very useful.

About latest updates,
Checked the lists of expansions (expansions.h) of the last three patches, and they remain the same, hence no need of patching draft on that matter. So GUI gets the priority.
Correction:
As I was checking the latest patches, I saw that new expansions have been added, which were not appearing in expansions.h. For some reason I thought that expansions.h was also autogenerated from the updater according to manalink.csv, which it seems is not the case. Because of this draft has fallen behind seven expansions. These can be added the old way but since I have already started fixing up a new GUI for this, I 'll continue this way, we just need to overcome the makefile problem.

Sorry, It's my duty to update the "expansions.h" file.
As for the other problem, I'm not experienced enough to understand the problem, we'll have to wait until Korath returns

and a message that sh.exe has stopped working.

That should work, assuming camelbox's make and sh are sane. Apparently they're not.

Possible workaround:

Code: Select all

GTKFLAGS=$(shell pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0)
#...
cards/draft.o: cards/drafts.c manalink.h subtypes.h
   $(COMPILE) $(GTKFLAGS) -o $@ $<

If it still dies trying to fork for the subshell, then you can put the pkg-config output directly into $(GTKFLAGS):

Code: Select all

GTKFLAGS=-mms-bitfields -IC:/camelbox/include/gtk-2.0 (etc.)

cards/draft.o: cards/drafts.c manalink.h subtypes.h
   $(COMPILE) $(GTKFLAGS) -o $@ $<

but that'll break the Makefile for anyone without that exact setup.

Hello Korath,
thanx for the help but it seems that the problem is vista . I tried various solutions over the net but to no avail. Anyway, here's my environment in case someone has came up the same "environmental" problem.
Win vista home premium x32 SP2
Using the latest camelbox that has come out so far camelbox_2009.167.2132Z-tahi, with the included mingw 3.4.5
worked compiling and building our sources so far, until I included gtk...
Has anyone used something else than camelbox to compile magic sources?

@gmzombie: Basic stuff just to do the job, nothing fancy.

I think my Vista installation nears its end...

The problem is much more likely camelbox than vista. Mingw 3.4.5, for example, is almost a decade old.

I've been compiling Manalink just fine with almost up-to-date (4.6.2; the latest is 4.8.1) mingw under cygwin. I see no reason why it shouldn't also work with mingw under msys, which is much less of a pain to install.

What's your output when you compile directly from the command-line, not through make?

gcc -O2 -march=i586 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -I.. -I. `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` -o cards/draft.o cards/draft.c

OK, here it is

C:\camelbox\bin>gcc -O2 -march=i586 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -I.. -I. `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` -o cards/draft.o cards/draft.c
gcc: `pkg-config: No such file or directory
gcc: gtk+-2.0`: No such file or directory
cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-fcflags"
cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-flibs"

also only env variable existing is in my user PATH C:\camelbox\bin

It has to be run from camelbox's sh, not directly out of cmd.exe (which doesn't understand `` substitution). Sorry, I should've been more clear.

Alternately, you could paste all of pkg-config's output into the command line, for
gcc -O2 -march=i586 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -I.. -I. -mms-bitfields -IC:/camelbox/include/gtk-2.0 -IC:/camelbox/lib/gtk-2.0/include -IC:/camelbox/include/atk-1.0 -IC:/camelbox/include/cairo -IC:/camelbox/include/pango-1.0 -IC:/camelbox/include/glib-2.0 -IC:/camelbox/lib/glib-2.0/include -IC:/camelbox/include/libpng12 -LC:/camelbox/lib -lgtk-win32-2.0 -lgdk-win32-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangowin32-1.0 -lgdi32 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -o cards/draft.o cards/draft.c
but I suspect cmd.exe would choke on that long a command.

Finally managed to compile, but with latest stable tdm-gcc and GTK+ in win 8, may also apply to vista (haven't tried yet).
Had to ditch -Werror and probably strict-prototypes is giving me a

"C:/gtk/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkitemfactory.h:47:1: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]"

just by only adding the #include <gtk/gtk.h> in draft.c .
Bad thing is that I did this by adding the result of pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 into GTKFLAGS as you proposed but I guess this breaks the makefile for others like you mentioned.
Anyway here's my makefile in case you manage to shape it up a bit.

OK guys,
takes longer than expected, but here's what is so far. I am also working on creating the rows from a text file where the expansion names will exist and be drawn, but the two are not connected so far.
I am using a separate file "draftgui.c" for the gui code and haven't managed to connect this, with the manalink makefile.
The previous compilation that I mentioned was with the gui code residing inside draft.c, but I believe a separate file should be used for tidiness of the code.

Oh, almost forgot writing something in the text box and pressing add, will add rows in the attached exe
