In ManualUse MyGame.h you derive a new class from MGame

class MyGame : public MGame
{
public:

I was asking because with some library's there not meant to be used directly. You have to
"subclass" derive a new class from an existing one.

What I was trying to do was use Maratis' Rendering context in SFML2

 int main()
 {
     // Create the main window
     sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");
 
    MEngine *engine = MEngine::getInstance();
    MRenderingContext *render = engine->getRenderingContext();
    MGame *game = engine->getGame();
    
    render->setViewport(0, 0, 100, 100);

But when I initialize my MGame pointer *game I get a segfault.

I can get it working for all platforms.

But I will be honest with you I am a Linux user so you will see stuff for Linux that might not be available
for Windows or Mac.

For instance I have ARM v4, 5, 6 cross-compiled toolchains already for Maratis once I have an ARM v7 toolchain
then Maratis will work on every mobile Linux device that support OpenGL ES out of the box.

A battery's included type of thing.

I am working on extending MGui so you could use TinyXML to read something like ...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Widget id="MainWindow">
        <Widget id="PushButton1">Button</Widget>
</Widget>

And then use Json to style it.

{
      "#MainWindow": {
          "background-color": "#000000ff",
          "border-width": "1",
          "border-style": "dotted",
          "border-color": "#00000000",
          "padding": "5",
          "x": "0",
          "y": "0",
          "r": "0",
          "width": "100",
          "height": "50"
      }
}

I have different paint systems working for those who want to use them
currently (Cairo and QtArthur(Vector and Raster Painter & Svg ))

I am still trying to get Skia and AGG and Fog Framework to work.

In future I hope to have dynamic texture painting in Maratis

Well premake is a self-contained build system that uses lua, so you don't need to install anything
you could even have it as a 3rdparty lib.

If the end user is building maratis from source then premake will bootstrap it's self and then
build the rest of maratis.

If maratis is pre-compiled then there is nothing to do.

Generating project files for different platforms:
--------------------------------
For Linux:
premake4 gmake

For Mac:
premake4 xcode3

For Windows &  Visual Studio 2010
premake4 vs2010

Building Maratis in different modes is easy.
----------------------------------

1. Maratis Dynamic in Release Mode:  Nothing to do just type
make

2. Maratis Dynamic in Debug Mode: Just do the following for all platforms.
make config=SharedDebug

3. Maratis Static in Release Mode:
make config=Static

4. Maratis Static in Debug Mode:
make config=StaticDebug

Right now I have MCore/MEngine/MGui/MaratisCommon(Plugin System) all building and linking properly.
The only thing left to do is Maratis Editor, Player and 3rdparty libs.

Scons uses Python and hard to use.
and
Premake uses Lua and is easy to use.

Here is the premake --help output.

Yahh there is something defiantly funny with those Scons built shared libs.

I just replaced the Scons libMEngine.so with the one my premake4 script built

My premake4 libMEngine.so works perfectly so I am guessing Scons is building in Debug mode.

For the rest of you if you want to try them on a different platform

Just:

For Linux:
premake4 gmake

For Mac:
premake4 xcode3

For Windows &  Visual Studio 2010
premake4 vs2010

Once I have everything moved over to premake ill start moving the scripting from generic lua to luajit.
Then scripting with lua will almost be as fast a plain c.

Also going to look into the image loader and try for Googles WebP decoder support for the Editor that
will reduce  the memory footprint and increase performance drastically.

Thanks that fixed everything and Yahh I would file a bug report with the fix you posted to save them some work.

'dl' libdl is for Dynamic loading, 'The plugin system'

Thanks again
