need help with NGplant install

[zippyties]

I am very new to linux, and not at all proficient when it comes to the CLI.

I am trying to install ngplant, and I have found a website with instructions on how to install in linux. However I have been hitting a snag when it comes to the SCONS command it always returns the following dialog;

::LoadImageData(P3DImageData*, const char*, const char*) const’:
ngput/p3dimage.cpp:371: error: ‘strcmp’ was not declared in this scope
scons: *** [ngput/p3dimage.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

There has been some talk of needing "WXWidgets" for this problem, so I installed the latest version from the synaptic manager.

My question is this; Am I having this problem because of user error? Or is it something else? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,

I followed the instructions precisely and got the same error... My suggestion is to install as many WxWidget libraries from synaptic as possible and keep trying! it will work eventually... or at least try and convince yourself of that XD

Hope this helps... Even though it probably won't

Currently, I find it impossible to compile. It needs many headers added. Once you fix the first bug you mentioned there is at least a dozen more, and I still haven't gotten any success.

You need the following headers added to each file:
p3dimage.cpp --- add #include <string.h>
p3dospath.cpp --- add #include <cstring> (or <string.h>)

Once you get that done you should get this:

(03:50:34 PM) james_w: malloc is stdlib.h
(03:51:15 PM) james_w: stderr is stdio.h

(sadly it doesnt work by adding those headers... but thanks to james_w for the two fixes).

With help from _16aR_ a MOTU, I was able to compile it. Many thanks to him.

to ngpview.cpp add:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

and to p3dshader.cpp add:

#include <cstdio>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <vector>

#include <ngput/p3dglext.h>

#include <p3dshaders.h>
using namespace std;

You should then be able to compile a generic linux binary!

If I can figure out how I might make a deb

If you want to try the generic linux build, here it is:

The following patch needs to be applied to the ngPlant source before it can be compiled.

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ng...nt/gcc43.patch

[SlowButDim]

I added the patch info to the compile page. Sorry for misguiding tutorial

http://opendimension.org/blender_en/...rom_source.php

I followed the tutorial and applied the patch, but upon executing scons got this error:
