"Checking for SDL2 sanity : no" despite SDL being there

[relt-1]

I have SDL-devel downloaded, yet it doesnt work.

Here is the command and log:

That's super weird. I remember another reports with the build failing because of Windows throwing EINVAL

after i did --skip-sdl2-sanity-check this happened while building:

Could you post the configure log with the --skip-sdl2-sanity-check? Also add -vv, to see the exact compiler invocations.

Keep in mind, skipping sanity check is more of a crutch than an actual solution. EINVAL could've happened somewhere else, failing some other check, resulting in non-compilable state.

[relt-1]

Here you go:
config.log

[a1batross]

Yeah, EINVAL failed C++11 detection, making mainui_cpp build to fail back to a workaround that was more suitable for MSVC6...

Try to set WAF_NO_PREFORK to 1 before running configure, like this:

set WAF_NO_PREFORK=1
python waf configure ...

[relt-1]

it works now! thank you!

[relt-1]

Closing

[a1batross]

Could I ask you, what are you compiling your own engine build for? :)

If you need some specific feature for your game, I would like to add it to main branch, to ensure easier migrations in the future.

[relt-1]

Oh sorry i didn't read your reply. Me and a couple other people are trying to transform the engine into Source without using any more leaked code (we also want to remove all the valve stuff and replace it with our own implementation). I don't think that's in the scope of your project though. If you want anything from our fork you can ask us or add it yourself.

[a1batross]

@relt-1 I see. Good luck!

I would like to see any contributions from your fork, especially new clean reimplementations! ;)

[relt-1]

We will also kind of need your help with WAF, and making it use the SNC compiler for PS3. Specifically to see if there is any way of making it support that compiler without modifying waf's internals.

[Velaron]

check "scripts/waifulib/xcompile.py"

Let's move to discord rather than spam this issue 😆 My @ is x_relt_x

[a1batross]

Better keep discussions in public space. GitHub is indexed by all search engines out there, and Discord is unindexable at all. If you want to, you can just create a new issue asking for help.

I don't think the port is gonna be easy as this system is big endian exclusive. There is some work on big endian port in old engine repo, but it hasn't been ported here.
