Can't Compile

Open alienonolympus opened this issue 9 years ago • 42 comments

I'm trying to use Piston, but am encountering some compiling problems. I'm on Windows 10 using MSYS2, and everything had worked well with cargo right until now. I followed the instructions in 'Getting Started' but still can't do anything. Apologies for my ignorance on the error messages:

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

I'm guessing it's an environment variable problem? Although I've tried it...

alienonolympus avatar Oct 26 '15 12:10 alienonolympus

Do you have freetype6 installed? It seems pacman, which MSYS2 uses, does not provide a way to search for packages by keyword (please correct me if I am mistaken).

Windows 10 comes with choco iirc, so you should be able to install freetype somehow with one or both of those.

choco doesn't seem to have a native package, unfortunately.

phrohdoh avatar Oct 26 '15 18:10 phrohdoh

I think I have freetype 6 installed. I'll check again.

alienonolympus avatar Oct 27 '15 12:10 alienonolympus

Apparently, I installed the 32 bit version. I used pacman -Ss and searched for packages. I will see if it works after the download/installation.

EDIT: Now, it's installed but nothing changed.

alienonolympus avatar Oct 27 '15 12:10 alienonolympus

I give up. I'll try to redo this some other time.

alienonolympus avatar Nov 07 '15 13:11 alienonolympus

@Carbon-Labs Some people have been working on this lately. freetype-sys has updated the README that tells how to install Freetype on Windows. See https://github.com/pistondevelopers/freetype-sys

bvssvni avatar Nov 07 '15 13:11 bvssvni

Ok! I'll check it out now!

(I didn't check this issue anymore after closing, so I'm 7 days late!)

alienonolympus avatar Nov 14 '15 05:11 alienonolympus

Still not working.

I'm going to reinstall everything again.

The previous one was from the MSYS2 terminal. This one is from the MinGW terminal

Absolute same config.

alienonolympus avatar Nov 17 '15 12:11 alienonolympus

My guess is that you cannot use linkers from rust installer to link that freetype library. That said, you don't install linkers when you install rustc. install

And you install your C compiler and linkers from pacman.

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain

(if you are using 32bit version rustc etc.)

bombless avatar Dec 10 '15 01:12 bombless

I did the instructions above (after I removed my original rustc installation), and am able to compile & run the project successfully.

bombless avatar Dec 10 '15 01:12 bombless

The way I see it, the freetype-sys guiding page doesn't really show the fact that you cannot install C compilers when you install Rust.

I'll make a PR to freetype-sys later to improve this.

EDIT: https://botbot.me/mozilla/rust/2015-12-10/?msg=55809332&page=25 I guess we don't have to install gcc here so I changed my mind :) I'll see what's the simplest solution.

bombless avatar Dec 10 '15 01:12 bombless

I'll try a reinstall.

alienonolympus avatar Dec 10 '15 12:12 alienonolympus

Might be because of the linker.

Well I tested my rustc installed in my office and it fails too.

The way I see it, the freetype-sys guiding page doesn't really show the fact that you cannot install C compilers when you install Rust.

I'll make a PR to freetype-sys later to improve this.

Still stuck here...

alienonolympus avatar Dec 13 '15 08:12 alienonolympus

I guess you can find /mingw64/lib -name '*freetype*' and then copy those files to some directory that Rust will search for.

As I said above, my environment in my office also doesn't compile piston after reinstall, and when I go back to my office 10 hours later, I'll try this method.

bombless avatar Dec 13 '15 18:12 bombless

Oh I tried this idea on my laptop first, you can see if this works for you.

This time I use a Rust installation totally without MSYS2, so remember to install linkers when you install Rust. But I'll get freetype from MSYS2. My MSYS2 is in D:\msys2, so I SET PATH=D:\msys2\mingw64\bin;%PATH% so the program can access several related dll files from there. I copy libfreetype.a and libfreetype.dll.a from D:\msys2\mingw64\lib, rename them as libfreetype-6.a and libfreetype-6.dll.a, to a folder I created locating at getting-started/bin/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu, yours should be getting-started/bin/i386-pc-windows-gnu.

Now cargo run, that should do the work.

EDIT: fixed typo

bombless avatar Dec 13 '15 19:12 bombless

Actually, I use a x86_64 architecture. (My error shows that.)

I'll try that.

alienonolympus avatar Dec 14 '15 01:12 alienonolympus

Sorry it's getting-started/bin/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu and getting-started/bin/i386-pc-windows-gnu, I made a typo.

bombless avatar Dec 14 '15 04:12 bombless

It worked on Arch Linux. Still not working on Windows, though.

alienonolympus avatar Jan 17 '16 09:01 alienonolympus

I have absolutely the same issue on windows 10. So is it possible to compile examples in windows?

Slowyn avatar Mar 31 '16 17:03 Slowyn

Probably. I still haven't figured out how though. Try it on another OS first, and just experiment.

alienonolympus avatar Apr 02 '16 16:04 alienonolympus

It was pure PITA but I did it.

  1. Install MSYS2.
  2. Install Rust in MSYS or add existing installation to PATH.
  3. Remove lib\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-gnu\bin directory from your Rust installation (or install it without linker)
  4. Install all you need in MSYS: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc, pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-freetype
  5. cargo run - it should work now

But, to run it normally, from Explorer, you have to download precompiled freetype.dll and put it along with .exe.

ps I also tried to use MSVC version of Rust with .cargo/config with linker settings and it work, but.. the program crashed at start with some bullshit compile_shader error in piston2d-opengl_graphics-0.23.0\src\back_end.rs

DGolubets avatar Apr 02 '16 22:04 DGolubets

Cool. I'll see if it works.

alienonolympus avatar Apr 03 '16 07:04 alienonolympus

If anyone gets this working let me know. The whole process of trying to get this to compile on windows is a complete mess; even if I get it to compile it fails to run, with the same compile_shader error that @DGolubets mentioned above

kyhavlov avatar Apr 12 '16 03:04 kyhavlov

I'm also experiencing the compile_shader error mentioned by @DGolubets and @MrEnzyme. Windows 10, Rust 1.8.0 (MSVC), cargo 0.9.0-nightly

Full error message:

Using code from the getting-started tutorial, just copy-pasted it.

joelwkall avatar Apr 16 '16 17:04 joelwkall

There's a line in the example code that says

//Change this to OpenGL::V2_1 if not working.

I did so, but got this error message instead:
