Quote from: jamespetts on December 02, 2020, 07:14:43 PMAlso, can I check whether you think that there is anything else that needs to be done before integrating the UI improvements together with the zstd work into the master branch?
I don't know whether the issue of many text colours such as for stop names having a dark bluish tint has been resolved.

It looks like just a public player color, not a bug.
I think it's due to a change in the standard related to the theme. At least the same as standard.
ひめしという日本人が開発者達の助言を無視して自分好みの機能をextendedに"強引に"実装し、
コードをぐちゃぐちゃにしてメンテナンスを困難にし(とりわけ道路と建物関連)、
挙句にバグを大量に埋め込み、それを知らんぷりして放置し(隠居するなどと言って)別のところに逃げ隠れて自分のフォーク(OTRP)は開発を続けている
その事実と彼の無責任さに日本人プレイヤーは目を向けるべき。らんらんはそれでやる気をなくした(´・ω・`)
他人の振り見て我が振り直せ。ひめしのようにならないために、らんらんが生み出したバグや問題は自分で修正しなくちゃね(´・ω・`)

TurfIt - thank you for checking that. It seems that I had omitted to modify the makefile to support ZSTD. I have now done this and installed zstd-dev, but I am afraid that I am now unable to compile on the Bridgewater-Brunel server. Attempting a basic Linux graphical client, I get the following errors:

It is not clear why or how these errors do or can occur in circumstances where I have the zstd-dev package installed. Has anyone managed to get ZSTD support working with a GCC/Linux build? If so, what other than libzstd-dev needed to be installed?
Edit: Testing on my local system, Ranran's fix for the file version numbering seems to work - thank you to Ranran for that.

Quote from: Ranran on December 03, 2020, 12:55:06 AMIt looks like just a public player color, not a bug.
I think it's due to a change in the standard related to the theme. At least the same as standard.
Does it still look like this? If so, that is a bug. That does not look like public player at all. And it doesn't matter whether it's related to themes or not.

I am not sure that I follow - the new colour for public player station names and town names is the public service player's primary colour (I have tested this, and, if one changes the public service player's primary colour, the text colour changes to match).

In the current master branch and older versions of Standard, this text was white.

The left image shows the bluish text on the merge branch. The public players primary colour is unchanged, as is clearly visible in the station and stop images.

The public player's primary colour has indeed not been changed, but the text was formerly not based on the public player's primary colour, but was white. The new code uses the public player colour rather than white. The text in the image is grey rather than blue, which is the public player's default colour.

Regretfully I'm not familiar with Makefile. Therefore, the resolution of the conflict may be omitted.

https://github.com/aburch/simutrans/commit/a83ca95932f44cca97f7d5452c34d8d1a38cc411
The change from line 193 to line 195 in r8910 has been overlooked, is this relevant?
The change in the upper part is irrelevant here as it has been changed again in r8915.

Thank you for that. I have incorporated that and tested it, but, unfortunately, I still get the same errors on a basic native Linux build:

Quote from: jamespetts on December 03, 2020, 02:41:19 PMThe public player's primary colour has indeed not been changed, but the text was formerly not based on the public player's primary colour, but was white. The new code uses the public player colour rather than white. The text in the image is grey rather than blue, which is the public player's default colour.
This is incorrect because a) it affects all players, not just the public player, b) the original (on right) was clearly also grey, corresponding to the public player's colour, and c) ranran investigated the problem further in this thread: https://forum.simutrans.com/index.php/topic,20560.msg193016/topicseen.html#msg193016

Test in standard on a four core CPU using a variant of the DOM game using Mingw64 default zstd on a non-debug build.
binary   zstd(6)  zstd(9)  bzip2     zip       zstd(6)1thread  zstd(6)2thread
4665 ms  9174 ms  24464 ms 44263 ms  28389 ms  16919 ms        10796 ms
386MB     101MB   88MB     58MB      102MB

So using a proper buffer and more than one thread I am sold on speed for zstd finally. bUnfourtunately all my server just have single core ...

Ranran(retired)

There was an error merging a commit for Makefile. I've fixed it so please check zstd branch again.
ひめしという日本人が開発者達の助言を無視して自分好みの機能をextendedに"強引に"実装し、
コードをぐちゃぐちゃにしてメンテナンスを困難にし(とりわけ道路と建物関連)、
挙句にバグを大量に埋め込み、それを知らんぷりして放置し(隠居するなどと言って)別のところに逃げ隠れて自分のフォーク(OTRP)は開発を続けている
その事実と彼の無責任さに日本人プレイヤーは目を向けるべき。らんらんはそれでやる気をなくした(´・ω・`)
他人の振り見て我が振り直せ。ひめしのようにならないために、らんらんが生み出したバグや問題は自分で修正しなくちゃね(´・ω・`)

Ranran - thank you for that.

Thank you also to TurfIt for having spotted the cause of the compile problems set out above: I was indeed using an older version of libzstd. I have now upgraded the Linux distribution on the server, and am running libzstd-dev version 1.3.3.

I am now getting a different compile error, again with a basic native Linux x64 graphical build:

This appears to be trying to use Zstd calls or parameters not supported. I am not sure whether even version 1.3.3 is too old for the code, or whether there is some other sort of error. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Too old. You've 'upgraded' all the way to a 2017 version of zstd. Come a little further to 2018 with 1.3.8, and you might get it to work (these functions are still in the experimental section at that time - need manual enablement). 1.4.0 is when the API is declared stable, so likely works there. But really, if use of the library was added in 2020, why not use a version of the library from 2020....   As said before, 1.4.5 is the current release, and is what I tested with.

I have been using the package that comes with the Ubuntu distribution that the server uses. I have recently upgraded that from 16.04 to 18.04 (do-release-upgrade does not appear to take it all the way to 20.04). I will need either manually to install a later package or upgrade the server distribution again.

Thank you for this, however: it is most helpful to know what the problem is.

I have now managed to upgrade to 20.04, which includes version 1.4.4 of libzstd-dev. This has fixed the libzstd compile errors. However, I am now encountering freetype related linker errors:

This looks like I am missing a library reference somewhere, as I have installed the freetype2 dev package. I cannot find any freetype folders in /usr/lib, and I am not sure where I should be looking for these. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Even though i have now idea how your compiling workflow is you might benefit from the discussion over here: https://forum.simutrans.com/index.php/topic,19011.msg180232.html#msg180232

I have now managed to get the basic graphical client in Linux to compile, after finding that I needed manually to specify the library files for Freetype.

However, I am now having a separate compile problem with the server build:

      |                                   ^

This appears to be an error with the logging function; I know very little about the logging code. May I ask whether Ranran knows what has changed here so that we can begin the process of tracking down the cause of this problem?

The cross-compile builds are the thing to deal with after this; they will need a vast amount of work, as I will need to download and build cross-compile libraries for freetype2, miniupnpc and zstd. I recall that producing cross-compile libraries was a long and difficult struggle on the last occasion that I attempted it.

I think it was because r8584 wasn't merged.
I would appreciate it if you could try it again.

I have made some significant progress with this this evening - I have managed to get a 64-bit Windows build running on the merge-from-standard-zstd branch and working without the crash reported in to-day's nightly builds (I will post more on that in the other thread shortly).

There is one problem at present, however, which is that I cannot get the miniupnpc integration working. The problem is that I have been unable to compile a statically linked cross-compile library for miniupnpc; attempting to do so will give rise to the linker errors associated with attempting to link to a dynamic library instead of a static library. I spent some time trying to solve this without success. I am not sure how important that miniupnpc is, as the game will compile satisfactorily without this feature and the current master branch also does not have this feature.

I should be grateful for feedback on this question, and, if it is an important enough issue to solve, some assistance in solving it.

The next step will be testing the new build. The version that I have compiled this evening can be found here. Any intrepid testers are encouraged to report findings on this thread so that Ranran and/or I (as appropriate) can look into and address the issues found.

As many people as possible testing the zstd compression speed as against the zlib compression speed would also be very helpful.

Thank you to all those who have worked on this so far, especially Ranran - it is much appreciated.

It seems that the selectable fonts in my self-build version cannot be changed in this build.
Fonts in the windows folder are not selectable in this build. (under c:\Windows\Fonts\ )

It seems that the commit number is standard's one (#9495). Did I overwrite the settings by merging standard commits?

I note that I was compiling with FREETYPE = 0 in the makefile configuration. I suspect that this is because I had difficulty setting up libraries for this when I first started cross compiling some time ago. I will look into whether I can enable this, but I am not sure whether I shall be able to do so.

I have looked into this and am having intractible problems in compiling a cross-compile compatible version of freetype2.

For some reason, when I amend the configuration files to point to the correct cross-compiler, the cross-compiler seems to fail to recognise the forward slashes used to denote directories and reports:


x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc  -I.\objs -I.\builds\windows -I.\include  -c -g2 -O -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY -Foobjs\ftsystem.obj src\base\ftsystem.c
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc: error: srcbaseftsystem.c: No such file or directory
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make: *** [builds/freetype.mk:204: objs/ftsystem.obj] Error 1


This really makes no sense at all; any assistance in resolving this would be appreciated.

Thank you for that. The configuration files for Freetype are very difficult to deal with (and extremely numerous) and, so far as I can tell, very poorly documented. There was a backslash specified in one of them, which, when changed to a forward slash, eliminated the error. However, I now get another error:

The reference to a .lib file, combined with the earlier specification of the backslash, makes me wonder whether the configuration that I am using for Freetype is not a configuration for producing libraries for a cross-compile build, but rather a configuration for cross-compiling libraries for use when compiling using those libraries on Windows machines. If that is so, then it is very unclear to me how to configure the various configuration files to build libraries for cross compiling.

Since even windows can hande "/" as path seperator, I strongly suggest to forget using "\" at all. Just use "/" is all pathes.

For crosscompiling, I found most useful to have a file in my oath, called mingw64

#!/bin/sh
PREFIX=i686-w64-mingw32
export CC=$PREFIX-gcc
export CXX=$PREFIX-g++
export CPP=$PREFIX-cpp
export WINDRES=$PREFIX-windres
export AR=$PREFIX-ar
export RANLIB=$PREFIX-ranlib
export PATH="/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/bin:$PATH"
exec "$@"


Then the actual crosscompiling script looks like this:
cd /home/simutrans/mingw64/trunk
rm simu*.zip
rm sim
rm sim.exe
rm config.default
cp config.default.gdi config.default
export export PATH="/home/simutrans/bin:$PATH"
svn revert -R .
svn up
mingw64 gcc -xc++ -dM -E - < /dev/null
mingw64 make clean
mingw64 make
mingw64 strip sim
mv sim sim.exe
/home/simutrans/mingw64/trunk/distribute.sh
rm sim.exe
svn revert -R .
mingw64 make clean
rm -rf /home/simutrans/mingw64/trunk/build


If you copy the *.h files and the .a into the respective include and lib fodlers, then the crosscompiler finds libfreetype and compiles it without any extra pathes. Also for compiling freetype, forget about the stupid libharfbuzz. That adds 3 MB for nothing Simutrans can use. Without it (and maybe even without libbrotli) freetypes compiles easily.

jamespetts

Prissi - thank you for that. The problem that I am having at present is the cross-compiling of the cross-compile Freetype libraries; aside from missing Freetype libraries, I can cross-compile a working build of Simutrans-Extended (albeit only one with Freetype disabled).

Sorry, see my edit. Freetype can do with libharfbuzz.

if you have a mingw64 script like my example, then you can use the "mingw64 ./configure  --without-harfbuzz ..." to build the lib. Or just compile the lib under windows and upload it to your server ...

Is there something wrong with './configure --build={whatever your build system is} --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32'  as specified in freetype-2.10.4/docs/INSTALL.CROSS?  (and of course with --prefix as needed...)

I just want to point out a decision which seem to be being made by default in this thread.

The existing cross-compilation process is not documented at all. This is for a very good reason. James, you are self-taught coder who just wants something that works, since you are primarily interested in transport and Simutrans, not wading through obscure details of harfbuzz. That is entirely understandable - that's where I'm coming from too. But the short-term fix is not ideal in the long-run because (a) if you are the only person who can cross-compile Extended, it increases the demands on you and (b) it means the Extended build process becomes dependent upon where files are located in one particular system (Bridgewater-Brunel).

The CMake build process was intended to get Extended out of this hole by moving to a single build process that works everywhere and manages dependencies wherever possible. It also integrates with Github Actions, which also reduces the project's dependency on Bridgewater-Brunel.

The way that the very real dependency problems are being tackled in this thread is digging us further into the hole of undocumented, B-B-dependent compilation. I understand that it's easier in the short-term. And I guess it would be possible to use the old system first and move to CMake later, at the cost of doing all the work twice. But the fact that B-B has just been updated and you and Ranran are very kindly integrating a large number of Standard features in one go means this may well be the best opportunity for several years to move dependency management over to the CMake-based process.

I can't offer to help you to move to a CMake process, because I know much less than anyone else here about coding. I can't even promise it will be easier. But I would urge you to step back for a moment to consider whether you really want to stay with the existing process or move to a CMake-based process, since that decision is being made by default.

Thank you all for your help. Unfortunately, I have still not succeeded in building a workable freetype library. Using TurfIt's suggestion, the build of the library apparently completes without errors, but attempting to compile Simutrans-Extended results in:

I execute this command:


./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --without-harfbuzz


and get this apparently correct output:


FreeType build system -- automatic system detection

The following settings are used:

  platform                    unix
  compiler                    cc
  configuration directory     ./builds/unix
  configuration rules         ./builds/unix/unix.mk

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file
`config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.

Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library,
or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (this needs Python >= 3.5).

I then issue a "make" command and get an output too long to reproduce here, but which appears to conclude without error, albeit there are some warnings at the end:

*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have

Having done that, issuing a make command for Simutrans-Extended with the mingw64 compile option gives the errors set out above. For reference, the following is set in config.mingw64:


LDFLAGS = -L/root/freetype-2.10.4


/root/freetype-2.10.4 is the directory in which I have extracted and built the Freetype libraries. I have also tried


LDFLAGS = -L/root/freetype-2.10.4/objs


also without success. I am not sure quite what further thing that I can try, especially as the build appears to complete without errors but I am unable to link from Simutrans-Extended.

Edit: In relation to CMake - this is not something that I am familiar with at all. I do not know how, if at all, this handles cross-compilation and libraries, or on which server(s) that it runs. I am not sure whether I am relying on third party servers which might be shut down at any time in order to run this, or whether I can run my own CMake server on Bridgwater-Brunel, and, if so, how much work that it would take to set this up.
Learning an entirely new build system from scratch would take an unknown amount of time and might indefinitely postpone all work on Simutrans-Extended if the amount of time that it requires becomes extreme, as I can forsee that it might well. Embarking on a project with no idea at all of whether it can be completed within any reasonable time is best avoided.

If there are those who are willing and able to assist in setting up a CMake system, preferably to run alongside the existing compiling system to allow sufficient redundancy, this might be another matter, depending on the level of assistance that they are able to provide.

#279
Missing '--build=' triple, although it's detecting 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' which if correct is ok.
Missing pkgconfig "checking pkg-config is at least version 0.24... Please install dpkg-dev to use pkg-config when cross-building no" OK if you want to have to specify paths all the time rather than letting it "just work"
Missing way more than just harfbuzz:

Library configuration:
  external zlib: no
  bzip2:         no
  libpng:        yes (libpng-config)
  harfbuzz:      no
  brotli:        no

  image you need atleast zlib, as does Simutrans itself.
Missing 'make install' after 'make' ?  Again ok if you want a path mess. And will put things where you've specified with '--prefix=' which needs to be set for wherever your cross toolchain uses.  (/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/ maybe?)
LDFLAGS shouldn't need explicit setting if done "right". paths come from freetype2.pc via pkg-config called in makefile. (although you might still have freetype-config in there which may/may not work, so can just override in your config.mingw.  i.e. FREETYPE_CONFIG = pkg-config freetype2
And do note the libs are in objs/.libs after building freetype (before make/install does its thing...)
