Hello everybody,
i use the RQPC RapidQ Pre Compiler from Jacques and i compile C++ code in my RapidQ program.
But the problem is that i don't know how to link new libraries (flags) for the mingw G++ compiler that is used by RQPC.
For example if i want to link C++ OpenGL library in need to use the -lGL flag with G++
Can anybody add this functionality to RQPC that will allow to use custom flags for the compiler, this would help me a lot for example to use python code in my RapidQ programs. Jacques didn't share the source code of his RQPC unfortunately.
Thank you for your help!
In fact, to run a python code, i want to link the python library to g++, include my python code to example.cpp
#include "Python.h"
Py_Initialize();
and so on....
and then use rqpc to compile example.bas with example.cpp
compile example: g++ art_wrapper.c main.cpp -o main -lpython2.8
I know this is technically possible, so that i can use values of the variables of my python calculations directly in my rapidq.bas program
But to do that rqpc should be able to accept the option to include custom libraries to link with g++ (-lpython2.8)
I found a way to do what i want without modifying rqpc but it's a bit tricky.
For the moment, the only workaround i found is to rename g++ to g++2.exe and create a new g++ executable that will collect the command line arguments of itself (after %0 (g++ itself)) and that will execute g++2.exe with all the collected arguments + -lpython2.8
Then, when RQPC will call g++, g++2 (the original file) will be executed with the new flag -lpython2.8
Hello Jacques, thank you for your code of the g++.bat
I managed to make it work !
In fact RQPC needs a g++.exe so i had to convert my g++.bat to g++.exe with a bat2exe converter
I found this converter which works fine : https://github.com/tokyoneon/B2E
https://qchartist.net/files/utils/Bat_To...verter.zip
My g++.bat for example contains this line :
c:\myprogram\mingw\bin\g++2.exe %* -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lglut
rem So we add opengl C++ support to our RapidQ program
i rename the original g++.exe to g++2.exe and
i create a g++.exe with the B2E tool from my g++.bat
myprogram.bas contains the rapidq code:
''pre cmd FBVERSION=017 FBLANG=deprecated run enc noopt exe con NoDone icon myprogram.ico kill includes\cppincludes.cpp
''pre end
'Compiler Directives
$APPTYPE console 'GUI
$OPTIMIZE on
$TYPECHECK on
dim cpptmpfuncreturn as string
myvar = VAL(mytext.Text)
defstr myvarstr=str$(myvar):cpptmpfuncreturn=varptr$(setsomething(varptr(myvarstr))) ' we interact with c++ this way
and so on...
includes\cppincludes.cpp contains the c++ source code of our opengl program to include to our rapidq myprogram.bas :
// ''RQEXPORT function setsomething(parameter)
#include "includes\myopenglprogram.cpp"
then i compile my program with
rqpc\rqpc myprogram.bas
bingo
