Can't Compile #109

alienonolympus · 2015-10-26T12:53:34Z

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...

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

phrohdoh · 2015-10-26T18:13:58Z

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.

alienonolympus · 2015-10-27T12:00:24Z

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

alienonolympus · 2015-10-27T12:04:58Z

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 · 2015-11-07T13:10:19Z

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

bvssvni · 2015-11-07T13:15:25Z

@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

alienonolympus · 2015-11-14T05:42:22Z

Ok! I'll check it out now!

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

alienonolympus · 2015-11-14T05:49:39Z

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.

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.

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 · 2015-12-10T01:29:26Z

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

bombless · 2015-12-10T01:34:54Z

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.

alienonolympus · 2015-12-10T12:10:04Z

I'll try a reinstall.

alienonolympus · 2015-12-10T12:11:32Z

Might be because of the linker.

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.

#109 (comment)

alienonolympus · 2015-12-13T08:26:23Z

Still stuck here...

bombless · 2015-12-13T18:45:03Z

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 · 2015-12-13T19:21:07Z

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

alienonolympus · 2015-12-14T01:08:16Z

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

I'll try that.

bombless · 2015-12-14T04:52:27Z

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

alienonolympus · 2016-01-17T09:27:42Z

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

Slowyn · 2016-03-31T17:56:58Z

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

alienonolympus · 2016-04-02T16:49:47Z

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

DGolubets · 2016-04-02T22:17:17Z

It was pure PITA but I did it.

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

alienonolympus · 2016-04-03T07:53:15Z

Cool. I'll see if it works.

kyhavlov · 2016-04-12T03:54:33Z

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

joelwkall · 2016-04-16T17:33:11Z

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 · 2016-04-16T17:52:33Z

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:

DGolubets · 2016-04-17T14:11:25Z

That's annoying.. it DID work before I upgraded to Rust 1.8.
Now I'm getting these "illegal character" errors once again..

DGolubets · 2016-04-17T15:39:02Z

The source of error is this line: GlGraphics::new(opengl).
If you take example from piston_window (http://docs.piston.rs/piston_window/piston_window/) - it works.

We really need new, updated and tested tutorial from Piston team.

joelwkall · 2016-04-17T16:57:48Z

What dependencies do I need for that example? My cargo can't find the crate:

error: can't find crate for piston_window [E0463]
src\main.rs:1 extern crate piston_window;

DGolubets · 2016-04-17T17:02:04Z

piston_window = "0.42.0"

joelwkall · 2016-04-17T17:08:01Z

Oooh! Finally got something on screen :) Thank you very much!

joelwkall · 2016-04-17T18:27:07Z

Now I've rebuilt the spinning-square example to use PistonWindow instead, guided by the example you linked. See code below. Now, as I am a complete Rust and Piston noob, the code is probably stupid in many ways. In particular:

I had to remove the .opengl() call on the window object, or I would get a black window only. Does that mean it's using software renderer now, or is it OK because PistonWindow is a GlutinWindow?
I'm passing the PistonWindow event (which itself is a PistonWindow? I Don't really understand this) to render() instead of setting it as an instance variable in App. Is this bad form? I tried to set it in App but Rust started complaining about "use of moved value" and everything became scary :)
The docs for piston_window says "This library is not meant to be depended on by other libraries.". But we are cool if we use it to build an app, right?
Any other blatant noob mistakes I made?

extern crate piston_window;

use piston_window::*;

pub struct App {
    rotation: f64   // Rotation for the square.
}

impl App {
    fn render(&mut self, e: &PistonWindow, args: &RenderArgs) {

        const GREEN: [f32; 4] = [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0];
        const RED:   [f32; 4] = [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0];

        let square = rectangle::square(0.0, 0.0, 50.0);
        let rotation = self.rotation;
        let (x, y) = ((args.width / 2) as f64,
                      (args.height / 2) as f64);

        e.draw_2d(|c, gl| {

            // Clear the screen.
            clear(GREEN, gl);

            let transform = c.transform.trans(x, y)
                                       .rot_rad(rotation)
                                       .trans(-25.0, -25.0);

            // Draw a box rotating around the middle of the screen.
            rectangle(RED, square, transform, gl);
        });
    }

    fn update(&mut self, args: &UpdateArgs) {
        // Rotate 2 radians per second.
        self.rotation += 2.0 * args.dt;
    }
}

fn main() {

    // Create an Glutin window.
    let window: PistonWindow = WindowSettings::new(
            "spinning-square",
            [200, 200]
        )
        .exit_on_esc(true)
        .build()
        .unwrap();

    // Create a new game and run it.
    let mut app = App {
        rotation: 0.0
    };

    for e in window {

        if let Some(r) = e.render_args() {
            app.render(&e,&r);
        }

        if let Some(u) = e.update_args() {
            app.update(&u);
        }
    }
}

If it's not too stupid I would be happy to issue a PR.

DGolubets · 2016-04-17T19:15:02Z

@joelwkall Beware, that I'm also Piston and Rust noob yet :) Nevertheless here is what I think:

It seems that piston_window does use OpenGL or at least tries to do so: https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/piston_window/blob/master/src/lib.rs#L140. Though I don't know how to verify it.
I can't see anything particularly bad in it. It would be cleaner to have it inside RenderArgs, but assuming you don't want to tough piston code yet.. it's ok :D
Yep, we're fine.
Seems fine.

I think you might be interested in tracking or bumping this issue: PistonDevelopers/piston#1048. As you have already noticed: many things are not obvious in Piston yet, like different windows\events (and I'm afraid it's just a tip of an iceberg :D)

bvssvni · 2016-04-18T09:38:45Z

@joelwkall .draw_2d only calls the closure when there is a render event. See https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/piston_window/blob/master/src/lib.rs#L259

piston_window uses the OpenGL backend of Gfx. The version used to create the window must be the same as the version used to pick shaders, or else it will try to compile shaders for an OpenGL version that does not support the syntax/features. If you have an old driver or running in a virtual machine, you might need to change to OpenGL 2.1.

PistonWindow events are PistonWindow objects. It uses Rc<RefCell<T>> for sharing mutable state. This might be redesigned later. See PistonDevelopers/piston_window#123

Please open up new issues if the problem is not the same as in the top comment. This makes it easier for people to understand what the issue is about and less things to keep track of.

joelwkall · 2016-04-18T17:36:26Z

Many thanks to @DGolubets and @bvssvni for the info. I think I have what I need to start coding :) Apologies if I hijacked this issue!

WooterTheTroubleshooter · 2016-07-13T22:22:49Z

Thanks @DGolubets, I was having issues with the freetype linking deal.

Remove lib\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-gnu\bin directory from your Rust installation (or install it without linker)

Did the trick for me.

johnthagen · 2016-09-02T18:41:22Z

Those looking for an interactive example that does not require freetype: https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/piston_window/blob/master/examples/hello_piston.rs

@joelwkall's example does not work on piston_window >=0.43.0

The current Piston-Tutorial example is unfortunately very difficult to get working on Windows. #130

sherry-ummen · 2016-12-27T16:51:39Z

I was also facing the same issue "failed to run custom build command for 'miniz-sys v0.1.6'
"; but after updating to rust 1.14 it just works. Nothing extra I had to do.
