Sapero's Windows include files

[Ionic Wind Support Team]

Sapero has done a bang up job converting the windows header files for Aurora.  I've uploaded them to this server for easier access.

http://www.ionicwind.com/downloads/aurora.include.21.11.2006.zip

I'll update them when he does

[mrainey]

Sapero, your efforts and talents are greatly appreciated.

[Parker]

Thank you, these are very useful for people like me who don't like to look up and convert all the declares

[Mike Stefanik]

Any chance these could be folded into the actual distribution (with acknowledgement, of course)?

[srvaldez]

thank you Sapero. 

[Zen]

3 Cheers for Sapero

Yes, very useful.

You could get the files by following the link in his signature, but the site was hard to figure out.

[Ionic Wind Support Team]

And it makes you wait like 40 seconds before the download begins, that is what I meant by 'easier' access

Uploaded new build 3 june 2006 (8MB zip)
[expired]
Scroll down, click FREE.

Added SDL (+mixer +image -net) and Opengl includes.
Added converted OGL examples from http://www.codesampler.com/oglsrc.htm (pages 1-4).
Created a vector3f class wrapper that allows adding, multiplying... 3float-vectors.
Here is a other class wrapper - matrix4x4f - with fewer implemented methods: identity, rotate, transformVector, invertMatrix and transformPoint.
The vector3f class is in two versions: standard aurora code and nasm language (default for release, disabled for debug build-linker crash).

Finished ShlDisp.inc see in BrowseFolder_shell.src for small demo.

Added easier unicode api access (80% done):

Code:

extern int wvsprintfA(LPSTR *q, pointer arglist);
extern int wvsprintfW(LPWSTR *q, pointer arglist);
#ifdef UNICODE
extern int wvsprintf alias wvsprintfW(LPWSTR *q, pointer arglist);
#else
extern int wvsprintf alias wvsprintfA(LPSTR *q, pointer arglist);
#endif

So just define UNICODE before #include

Just a note about opengl programming with aux* functions:
In Microsoft SDK was a glaux static library that had references to C-library symbols like __security_cookie or _api@number.
Have created a glaux.dll that exports all the symbols defined in GLAux.inc
If you like to use opengl - copy the dll from \include\gl\glaux dll.zip\ to program or system directory,
and create a import library for: glaux.dll, glu32.dll and opengl32.dll

Let me know if I'd forgot a .lib
Happy opengl'ing!

I knew Premium membership at Rapidshare will come in handy one day. Downloaded at full speed in less than a minute. Waiting time 0.1 seconds.

Thank you for the updated files, sapero.

Found this bug, forgot to set up esi in vector3f@mulvf.
new download link: http://rapidshare.de/files/22138662/aurora.include.3.june.2006b.zip.html

On rapishare download is always good, but upload on my dsl is only 16KB/s (this zip 8 minutes)

[Ionic Wind Support Team]

Updated on this server as well

[sapero]

added some converted opengl examples, check Particle system (wow)
http://rapidshare.de/files/22390839/aurora.opengl.update.6.june.zip.html
this download includes only opengl examples and new or changed includes.

Added Intel CG-Toolkit includes, changed RAND_MAX type to double (stdlib.inc), and added some methods to vertex3f class

Code:

vertex3f_a -= vertex3f_b * float

is now coded as

Code:

vertex3f_a.sub_mulvf(vertex3f_b, float)

ogl_particle_system - will not work on machine with intel 82845 graphics card (no extension or after driver update - no particles).
The CG version works ok (ogl_optimized_billboards)
If you install the cg-toolkit - copy binaries from Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Cg\bin\ to system dirsctory, and create import libraries for cg.dll and cggl.dll

Added fullscreen toggler - alt+enter  for all examples with animation, and if possible - mouse wheel handling

[Rock Ridge Farm (Larry)]

I downloaded it. Had issues compiling - all the projects reference the 'D' dirve.
Is there a simple way to update the project files to another drive short of manually re-doing them?

[Ionic Wind Support Team]

When you first load a project the IDE gives you a chance to update the paths.  If you selected 'no' then you hosed

Actually just unzip the archive again, open the project from the IDE and whan it gives you the chance chose 'yes'

[John S]

I got the following error for line:  extern _hinstance as HINSTANCE;   in  3dtest.src

Compiling Resources
Error compiling resources
Compiling...
3dtest.src
File: J:\Program Files\Aurora\examples\bass\3dtest\3dtest.src (12) duplicate definition of variable or label
Error(s) in compiling "J:\Program Files\Aurora\examples\bass\3dtest\3dtest.src"

[Parker]

Try searching through that file and the includes (tools->find in files) for _hinstance, because that means it was defined twice.

[John S]

I know that it was defined twice.
in 3dtest.src it is defined as:
    extern _hinstance as HINSTANCE;

in Windows.inc it is defined as:
    extern _hinstance as unsigned int;

Which one should I comment out?

[Parker]

Probably the one in 3dtest.src, in case anything else uses that value from windows.inc.

[sapero]

Comment the one in 3dtest.src, it was defined here before I added it to windows.inc.
_hinstance is exported somewhere in aurora library, so GetModuleHandle(null) can be replaced with. One api less

In 3dtest.rc is a reference to icon from bass\netradio\icon.ico, try to fix the path manually from IDE or editing the rc script

[Wijnand]

I've just installed the Windows include files. When compiling an example I get an error:

Compiling...
IPicture.src
No Errors

Linking...
Aurora Linker v1.0 Copyright ©2005,2006 Ionic Wind Software
Error: Unable to open file C:\PROGRA~1\Aurora\libs\custom\comlib.lib

Does anyone know where I can get comlib.lib I've searched my own computer but I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance

Wijnand

[Wijnand]

Seems I'm missing more libs

Anyone who knows how to resolve this.

[sapero]

just post
the linked list has been created before the aurora's class, and is no more active project.
The comlib has only IIF and farcall functions, I don't know why the name is comlib

The IIF can be extended to any 4-byte types:

Code:

extern float IIFF alias IIF(bool expression, float ifTrue, float ifFalse);
extern pointer IIFP alias IIF(bool expression, pointer ifTrue, pointer ifFalse);
...

with string it works too but sometimes raises INVALID_HEAP exception in ntdll.

[Parker]

I released linked list functions with those names (except I don't remember ListEnumFromStart), but they shouldn't be in C format (e.g., ListCreate instead of _ListCreate@4).

You can use mine which the code is here on the forums (good idea if you're scared of classes), or you can use the CList derived classes.

Thanx Sapero,
Awesome works
