[Solved] Building a simple example using MinGW from command line

Discussions
#1

I have MinGW on Windows. I downloaded Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-STATIC and I placed the “include” and “lib” folders here:

  • E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-STATIC\include
  • E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-STATIC\lib\Urho3D

The “lib\Urho3D” folder contains the “libUrho3D.a” file.

I wrote a very simple example with minimal code to show that it compiles and works:

#include <iostream>
#include <Urho3D/Engine/Application.h>

class MyApp : public Urho3D::Application
{
public:
    MyApp(Urho3D::Context * context) : Urho3D::Application(context)
    {
    }

    virtual void Setup()
    {
        std::cout << "Setup" << std::endl;
    }
};

URHO3D_DEFINE_APPLICATION_MAIN(MyApp)

I try to compile it using this command:

g++ main.cpp -I"E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-STATIC\include" -L"E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-STATIC\lib\Urho3D" -lUrho3D -o app.exe

I see a lot of errors like:

E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-STATIC\lib\Urho3D/libUrho3D.a(SDL_winmm.c.obj):SDL_winmm.c:(.text+0x942): undefined reference to `_imp__waveOutGetNumDevs@0’

E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-STATIC\lib\Urho3D/libUrho3D.a(SDL_winmm.c.obj):SDL_winmm.c:(.text+0x97b): undefined reference to `_imp__waveOutGetDevCapsW@12’

E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-STATIC\lib\Urho3D/libUrho3D.a(SDL_winmm.c.obj):SDL_winmm.c:(.text+0xa32): undefined reference to `_imp__waveInAddBuffer@12’

#2

I added this key -lwinmm and I do not see the error message related to SDL_winmm.c above.

What key do I need to solve this error:

E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-STATIC\lib\Urho3D/libUrho3D.a(SDL_windowsframebuffer.c.obj):SDL_windowsframebuffer.c:(.text+0x38a): undefined reference to `_imp__DeleteObject@4’

I would strongly suggest using CMake to get all the build flags correct. If you wish to switch over to just the command line after that you can just run make with VERBOSE=1 and see what the actual commands to compile the project were.

Also, welcome to the community!

Welcome to the community!

I can offer some minor notes…
Building from the master branch on github is frequently recommended as it maintains good stability, and there have been a number of fixes since last release.

Possibly helpful to MingW users,

Here is a bit of code I was using in my app header to target MSW under MinGW and limit global namespace pollution and conflicts with Urho methods. 
#pragma once
// Somewhat limit windows header namespace pollution.

#ifdef _WIN32
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define NOSERVICE
#define NOMCX
#define NOIME
#define NONLS
#include <windows.h>
#undef CreateDirectory
#undef GetClassName
#undef GetProp
#undef RemoveProp
#undef SetProp
#endif

S.L.C offers a more sophisticated method:

Thank you, guys!

My steps:

  1. I downloaded a source from the master branch.
  2. I run CMake GUI.
  3. I selected “MinGW Makefiles” and “Use default native compilers”
  4. I choose the “source” and “dist” folders.
  5. I pressed the “Configure” button. There are some warnings at the beginning that I do not understand:
Output Urho3D-master

  1. I just unchecked some Assimp Importers. I pressed the “Configure” button again.
  2. I pressed the “Generate” button.
  3. I went to the “dist” folder and I run the “mingw32-make” command.
  4. Even EXE’s for examples was created successfully.
  5. I have the “include” folder and the “libUrho3d.a” library. I think it must be enough to build a simple program:
main.cpp 
#include <iostream>
#include <Urho3D/Engine/Application.h>

class MyApp : public Urho3D::Application
{
public:
    MyApp(Urho3D::Context * context) : Urho3D::Application(context)

For example, I use a similar command for building apps with the SFML library. This command works correctly:

g++ main.cpp -I"E:\Libs\SFML\SFML-2.5.1-windows-gcc-7.3.0-mingw-32-bit\SFML-2.5.1\include" -L"E:\Libs\SFML\SFML-2.5.1-windows-gcc-7.3.0-mingw-32-bit\SFML-2.5.1\lib" -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -o hero.exe

Maybe do I use incorrect keys? Where can I find correct keys?

This problem was solved using this key: -lSetupapi

Looks like it can’t find the libUrho3D.a, are you sure you’re linking to the correct folder?

As I suggested before, run the make command verbosely and see the actual commands used to compile something, let’s say one of the samples. I think you’re missing some of the flags, but I can’t tell you just from looking at then which will be needed.

From your CMake output:

CFLAGS: -mtune=generic -march=native -msse3 -static -static-libgcc -fno-keep-inline-dllexport -mstackrealign -fdiagnostics-color=auto -IC:/Users/8Observer8/Downloads/Urho3D-master/Source/ThirdParty/SDL/src/hidapi/hidapi

I did not understand you before. Now I understand that I need to run the next command and I will try it later:

The build command above works with “shared” version of Urho. I downloaded Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED. When I run the command:

g++ -Wall -g -std=c++11 main.cpp -I"C:\Users\8Observer8\Downloads\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED\include" -L"C:\Users\8Observer8\Downloads\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED\lib\Urho3D" -lUrho3D -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lcomdlg32 -lSetupapi -ladvapi32 -lwinmm -limm32 -lversion -lws2_32 -ldbghelp -lopengl32 -o app.exe

I get “app.exe”. But I get this warning after compilation:

I copied the “Urho3D.dll” from the folder:

  • C:\Users\8Observer8\Downloads\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED\bin

to

I run “app.exe” and It works! I read here that I need to add “Data” and “CoreDate”.

It is time to study and practice with Urho. I will try to compile statically an example later. Thank you, guys!

Glad you got it working! To fix those errors make sure you have the necessary files in either Data or CoreData (they should be in bin/*Data/

Other than that, the only thing I would recommend is that you use Urho’s log macros (in IO/Log.h) rather than std::cout in general so that the redirection to a file and such will all be handled uniformly.

I will save my Makefile for the future. Maybe it will useful for beginners. If you want to use VSCode install the C/C++ for Visual Studio Code plugin. Press Ctrl+Shift+P and select C/C++: Edit Configurations (UI). Open the .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json file and include path to the Urho3D include folder:

            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**",
                "E:/Libs/Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED/include"
            ],

Makefile


CC = g++

INC = -I"E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED\include"

LIB = -L"E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED\lib\Urho3D"

FLAGS = -c

I tried to build Urho3D statically from source using CMake and MinGW32 but it is really looks like it cannot find the libUrho3D.a. Because I tried to delete “-lUrho3D” from settings and I get 21 errors like:

My settings:

CONFIG += c++11

INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Users\8Observer8\Downloads\Urho3D-1.7.1\dist\include"

LIBS += -ldbghelp -limm32 -lversion -lwinmm -lws2_32

SOURCES += \

I want to mention that if I delete -lUrho3D I get 21 errors and if I do not delete -lUrho3D from settings above I get the same 21 errors in any case. This path is correct: C:\Users\8Observer8\Downloads\Urho3D-1.7.1\dist\lib:
