Making poker2d on cygwin

Jake — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 01:46:15 -0000

I understand that this is probably not the right
place to ask this, but I hope you could point me in
the right direction. What I was looking to do was to
create the poker2d client on a windows machine. After
looking round for a solution I came up with, rightly
or wrongly, with cygwin. I thought if I complied the
sources in there it would give me what I wanted.

After fighting with my computer to install all the
right components for the last few days I have managed
to completely compile, poker-eval, pypoker-eval,
poker-engine, and poker-network. (as well as
installing MySQL with a client that works in cygwin.)
But it did not give me what I was expecting. I was
hoping that it would give me an .exe file at the end
of it all. The only run file I could file was poker-
interface.

It did however install all the files in the same
places as my Debian computer has them, but I want to
run a client on Windows as well.

Could you nudge me in the right direction if there is
indeed a direction to be nudged in.

Thanks Jake.

poker2d client crashes in tournaments

Jake — Sat, 18 Mar 2006 09:29:06 -0000

Hi again Loic, I am sure this is nothing I have done
as I have tried this on several of the builds I have
done now, and there has been a LOT ;)

When I try and join a tournament table that has all
but one spot free, the client crashes with a lost
connection error.

The poker server connection was lost

When I reconnect and go to the table again, I can see
my name, but can not join the table.

I dont have any trouble on the normal tables, the
ones I have tried anyway.

On another note, I couldnt find anywhere to ask this,
is there a package of .tga files for poker3d? it
keeps saying it cant find it and quits with:-
** ERROR **: File PokerMultiTable.cpp: line 73
(PokerMultiTable::(PokerApplication*)) assertation
failed (textureSwitch)
aborting...
Aborted

Sorry to be a pain again.

Gtk crashes in poker2d (Debian unstable)

Jake — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 17:43:33 -0000

I have been trying to install Poker-Network on a
freeBSD box. I am afraid I do not know that much but
have learnt a great deal while trying to do this.

After a week of installing things, reading, searching
and fixing, mainly because of the PKG_CONFIG_PATH I
think I got everything installed apart from poker-
network. (I even install Gnome as that was the error
it was giving me, I know better now)

The error I get when I make (./configure is fine) is

/usr/X116R6/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkitemfactory.h:50:
warning: function declaration isn't a prototype

main.c: In function 'main':
main.c:161: error: too few arguments to
function 'setpgrp'
***Error code 1

As I said, I am sure I have everything, I even
deinstalled and reinstalled. I am starting to loose
hair over this ;) but it has changed from a 'fun
thing to try' to a 'mission' for me.

Hope someone can help.
Thanks in asvance Jake.

Make Error on Solaris 8

I am trying to install poker-eval-128.0 on Solaris 8

Running the ./configure and ( cd lib && make

make pypoker-eval-128.0 fails on Red Hat 7/8/9

blake girardot — Thu, 09 Feb 2006 03:11:59 -0000

Hi,

I ran into this problem and worked around it, but I
thought I would let you know. I am not really a
programmer, I just like to tinker and hacking around in
Makefiles is something I know very little about, I just
sort of tried what might help so I may be fixing
something that doesn't need fixing if I were really
doing things right, but here it is either way :)

When I try and make pypoker-eval-128.0 it fails with
this error as the last output:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -pipe -O3
-Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -o
pypokereval.la -rpath
/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages -module pypokere
val.lo -L/usr/local/lib/python2.3/config/
libpython2.3.a -L/usr/local/lib -lpoker-eval

*** Warning: Linking the shared library pypokereval.la
against the
*** static library libpython2.3.a is not portable!
gcc -shared .libs/pypokereval.o -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib

.libs/pypokereval.so.0.0.0
gcc: libpython2.3.a: No such file or directory
make: *** [pypokereval.la] Error 1

I edited the Makefile to change this line:

LIBS = -L/usr/local/lib/python2.3/config/
libpython2.3.a -L/usr/local/lib -lpoker-eval

to:

LIBS =
-L/usr/local/lib/python2.3/config/libpython2.3.a
-L/usr/local/lib -lpoker-eval

by taking out the space between config/libpython2.3.a

And then it compiled and installed just fine.

I also noticed the same sort of space in the path issue
at this line in the Makefile:

PYTHON_LIBS = -L/usr/local/lib/python2.3/config/
libpython2.3.a

And it didn't seem to make any difference if the space
was there or not, at least for compiling.

So, I don't need any help, just wanted to report this
in case it actually was a bug and not just my lack of
knowledge (which it usually is :).

Regards,
Blake

Look for help building on Red Hat

blake girardot — Wed, 08 Feb 2006 20:50:20 -0000

When I try and build engine & pyeval on my red hat
linux machine, I am following the ./configure, make,
make method, but I never get past ./configure.

Each package fails saying it can't find the other and I
should include the path to the .pc file in an env variable.

But that file doesn't seem to get created until I
successfully make install one of the two packages,
which I can't accomplish because they both require the
other already be installed.

I might be missing something obvious, I am not very
well versed in installing python related software for sure.

My version of python is Python 2.3.3.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you for all your work on this project, it looks
like just what I am looking for.

Regards,
Blake

getting started on Windows

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 06:25:52 -0000

Hi,
I'm looking to play around with the poker hand
evaluator, but I'm having trouble getting started?
FYI, I'm working with a free Borland C++ compiler
version 5.5 from the command prompt on a Windows XP
machine.
CAn someone direct me to more detailed directions
to build the library and set the path. The only
directions I have are the ones from the README file:

Compiling -- DOS / Windows (May be obsolete, please
send updates
to cpinson@freesheep.org)
======================================================
==========
The library can also be compiled using Microsoft
Visual C++. In each
directory, special DOS makefiles are provided, called
makefile.dos.
To compile the library, make sure that the VC tools
are on the path
and that the LIB variable is properly set (VC
provides a batch file,
vcvars32.bat, to set this up), and enter the
following commands:
cd lib
nmake -f makefile.dos
cd ..\examples
nmake -f makefile.dos
cd ..\tests
nmake -f makefile.dos

pokenum

Anonymous — Wed, 07 Dec 2005 23:58:50 -0000

I have just recently compiled the poker-eval package.
The pokenum.exe works fine, but I was wondering if
there was a way to input a random or unknown hand, to
compute something like Ac Ad versus one other player.

something like
%pokenum Ac Ad – random

Thanks
