You shouldn't need Boost in order to build AlephOne for the xbox.

I ported AlephOne a couple of years back (not long after I released Quake 3: Arena) and got as far as having it running on the xbox.

I did make a post on here about it with a couple of screenshots but I can't find that now.

It didn't take very long at all to get the port to a running state. I don't think I ever got it playable though there was a strange crash which kept happening that I had problems debugging.

In the end I got bored and/or sidetracked and ended up leaving the project. Sadly I don't think I have the source anymore.

So it is possible to get AlephOne running and with some perseverance you should be able to get it playable.

The other thing I can't remember without looking at the source is if AlephOne has a software renderer or if it was just OpenGL and I had to use the OpenGL lib that I used for Quake 3.

Good luck

no it has open GL support I saw the .cpp files...

Anyway, I just hit a major stumbling block thought, it seems I don't have dialogs_sdl.h not even in the sdl library that comes with the latest Aleph One source code so now I'lmm pretty confused with a few things like the MacTypes.h that is for Mac systems yet had it as an include header file so right now I've got a nice headache trying to use different definitions in the preproccessor settings all that seem to effect different header files and source files. So I think I may need to get the latest SDL library then.

Can you put your visual studio project files online somewhere? I'd be willing to help if I could just compile quickly and see whats wrong.

lol hey man I was actually just comming back on here to say that I fixed all the compile errors in the project but I am now getting a lot of Linking errors now so I have to sort through those as well, but ya man I was going to now upload the entire project and stuff. Just give me like an hour to sort through everything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

great to hear from you rrob and thats cool of sirlemonhead to offer some help if needed. Sounds like this is coming along quite nicely. Looks like a couple of great ported games are on the way here with avp and marathan. The hits just keep coming.

Keep up the great work guys. I keep an eye out on this thread once or twice a day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

no I was missing a bunch of libraries I found a tutorial on how to compile it in Visual C++ 6.0 here

http://source.bungie.org/May%2029,%202006/...lcplusplus.html

so now that I've found that Im gonna try it later on I wont really be able to give any feed back because Im leaving on Vacation sunday.

Visual Studio 6.0 is evil, don't use it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I almost got it to compile on 2005 before christmas. Haven;'t had a chance to look back at it yet.

did you get a source repository set up yet?

red_ring_of_box · « **Reply #41 on:** January 01, 2009, 11:22:00 AM »

I've got a repository set up I just need to upload the project. This will be the project where I'm getting all the linking errors, seeing as this one is the closest I've come to making a successful build.

XTecuterX73 · « **Reply #42 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:08:00 PM »

sounds like things are moving nicely, red ring. I can only thank you for your continued efforts and im sure it will come together soon for you. Ive got this thread on watch, lmao, i really cant wait to see this on xbox. Heres to hoping you get it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)

sorry for not posting here in like ever I've been on a 2 week vacation and have just gotten home. I thought I would be able to get onto the internet from where I was staying but I couldn't without paying so much a minute so my parents wouldn't let me. Anyway I just got home and will start coding again soon sorry for all who thought I abandoned this. I haven't I just have been out of reach of any of my stuff for the last week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif) oh well its nice to be back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
