Make the code base compile with a modern GCC about openjk HOT 11 CLOSED

what kind of contribution?

from openjk.

Fixed code, in the sense that it compiles with GCC and probably at least an initial linux port. I just read the other ticket and am moving my changes to the codebase in the jedi outcast archive. I also started a cmake based build system.

I'm sadly no cpp or c guy, but a linux one. I would help out testing once it compiles.

Great, but we're not there yet. ;)

Got a lot of the code to compile (50% of the files included in the project file, which is about 80% of the code). Issues were: function pointer default args, "or" as identifier, MSVC specific (string) functions, include path issues (case, slashes), alignment specifications, inline assembler, c/c++ mixups and some others. Remaining issue is mostly c code including c++ headers which I'll probably fix on the weekend. This may require a rework of the GL stuff. I haven't had a close look at it, and don't know the state of the GLX support, but I'd move context creation to SDL and use glew to handle OpenGL extensions if it's not workable. There currently custom code for that, maybe a solution from another quake based project could be integrated.

Fixed, see my fork. (The function pointer default args are fixed, that is)

I assume it's still loading OpenGL dynamically, but if you need something to handle extensions like GLEW, just use this instead:

For platform-specific GL, you'll probably get more mileage out of SDL2. SDL2 adds a few GL context management functions that would otherwise require some #ifdef hell to get working on all desktop platforms.

On a similar topic, you might also make maintenance/portability easier by replacing the libpng/libjpeg/zlib with stb_image. Updates and knocks out three dependencies in one go.

Go ahead.

MP code builds under GCC; still working on SP.

Code compiles under gcc and clang now :)
