Re: [Fractdev] Fractint and Win XP
Hi Tim,
Consider that Xfractint already uses a 32 bit compiler, and shares source with fractint via defines. So basically you have to create a new define for your version, and search for every instance of the XFRACT define.
All of the code I write is based on MS examples and all the correct defines already exist. I have tried compiling fractint code and get several problems. I need some assistance in setting up the correct #defines in the headers. What I can do is to compile an ZFRACT source file, eg miscres.c, and sent the error printout as a text file. Hopefully we can sort out the correct declarations. Let me know if you are happy with this approach. Thanks, Paul. ---------------------------------------------------------- Paul de Leeuw Computers Central Coast Australia Email: pdeleeuw@deleeuw.com.au www: <http://www.deleeuw.com.au> ABN 72 360 822 562 ----------------------------------------------------------

Sounds good. However please don't write the list with an attachment if it is at all large. It's OK to paste the errors into a message if it's not too large. If you have something larger, email to me as an attachment and I will place it on the fractint.org site. In fact to make any sense out of the warnings, we will need the whole source file that generated the warnings. In fact why don't you just capture ALL the warnings to a large file and let me place it on the fractint site. While you are at it, we might be able to help you more if you also sent a large zip file with the total source you compiled against. Damien is pretty busy and I don't know how fast he'll be able to respond, but I'll ask him for a fractint.org account for you, then you will be able to upload files to fractint.org yourself. In the meantime it is no big deal for you to do it. Tim

Since the experimental code already has the interface code broken out, it would be appropriate to start with it. The down side is that it is currently a couple of patches behind. I should be able to fix that on Saturday. Make sure you compile with XFRACT defined. That will remove all the 'far' and 'near' references. The other problem you will see is due to differences in system configurations. Or, rather, where the header files are kept. We need to generate an autoconfiguration file. Someday. Jonathan
