Compiling openNURBS on mingw

openNURBS
1

First, many thanks for making openNURBS available. I have made several tweaks to the sources and makefiles so as to compile OpenNURBS with the Nuwen mingw compiler (64 bit Windows 10). The library is built successfully, however, a link error is encountered when trying to build “example_read”. Specifically, I get the following undefined references:

ON_Font::GetInstalledWindowsDWriteFonts
ON_Font::FontStretchFromDWriteStretch
ON_WindowsDWriteGetGlyphMetrics
ON_WindowsDWriteGetFontMetrics
ON_WindowsDWriteGetGlyphOutline

I have checked that opennurbs_font.o is compiled and linked into the library; attempts at changing the link order of the libs did not resolve the issue. I am hoping that an OpenNURBS developer might have a suggestion for a fix. Output at the link stage is:

I have ensured that the correct #defines are set with regard to my compiler, (for example, the freetype option and sources are ommitted). I have a hunch that I’m missing something basic here (I have not used dwrite before). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Nicholas Shea.

Looks like you’ll have to adapt the makefile a bit so that the .cpp file that implement those functions is compiled and linked in as well.

opennurbs_win_dwrite.h

Add abover header file to the end of the list ON_INC staring at https://github.com/mcneel/opennurbs/blob/7.x/makefile#L76

opennurbs_win_dwrite.cpp
And above cpp file to the end of the list ON_SRC starting at https://github.com/mcneel/opennurbs/blob/7.x/makefile#L227

Thanks Nathan, you were absolutely correct and your fix worked perfectly. I had done the same for opennurbs_gl.cpp but for some reason missed the opennurbs_win_dwrite.cpp file.

With regard to opennurbs_gl.cpp, I think there is an error on line 603.
ON_Material::MaxShine() is not a function, but a static double type
// GLint shine = (GLint)(128.0*(pMat->Shine() / ON_Material::MaxShine()));
So this was changed to:
GLint shine = (GLint)(128.0*(pMat->Shine() / ON_Material::MaxShine));

And in openNURBS_win_dwrite.cpp, line 318:
DWRITE_FONT_WEIGHT_SEMI_LIGHT is not defined in my version of dwrite
//case DWRITE_FONT_WEIGHT_SEMI_LIGHT: s = L"SEMI_LIGHT"; break; // 350,

I can now run the “example_read” application successfully:

Many thanks for your quick and helpful response.
