Switched compilers

Post by n00bje »

I read this in the release notes of scummVM 0.11.0
WinCE Port:
* Switched compilers again. Now using cegcc (http://cegcc.sourceforge.net/).
Why was this done? Are there any differences? Does this make the build faster, or more stable?

Hi Knakos,

first I will like to thank you for the new build. It was a Christmas surprise :-)

On my machine the crashes specified on other posts are very frecvent. I am using win 2003 SE on a toshiba e800. I have a lot of free memory, about 80 MB. I tried to build scummvm using cegcc and it did not solved the problem. The difference is that I am forced to install a dll file in order to get it started wich is normal with cegcc. I wonder that your build does not need it...But I am not an expert on gcc or ARM :-)

Searching on the cegcc mail archive there is a case with alignments on ARM:

Maybe it is also the case with the wince build.


Regards
Adi

No special external dlls are needed when building a non plugin version (which is the default for the 0.11.0 release). Make sure you've got the "mingw32" variety of cegcc and not the "cegcc" variety, which in all probability is your problem, since you don't mention which dll exactly is required (try using binaries from 0.50.0 cegcc if your platform does not have a build available for 0.51.0).

Is it actually possible to build a plugin version from SVN?
