[Nel] Volatile source, cryptic CVS log entries

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 01:05:59 -0800 (PST)

Hello again folks,
+
+First, I did read that whole message about 'data/', but I couldn't
+figure out what the fix was.  I admit my C++ skills are a lacking, but
+a patch would have been great.  It doesn't matter now, because I can't
+build the latest CVS.
+
+Up until today I couldn't build NeL at all due to library problems, I
+think.  When I finally got it to build the client wouldn't build.
+
+So currently I'm getting:
+
+/usr/local/lib/libnel3d.so: undefined reference to `NL3D::UDriver::CMode::CMode(unsigned short, unsigned short, unsigned char, bool)'
+/usr/local/lib/libnel3d.so: undefined reference to `NL3D::CDriverUser::convMat(NL3D::UMaterial &)'
+/usr/local/lib/libnel3d.so: undefined reference to `NL3D::UDriver::setMatrixMode2D11(void)'
+/usr/local/lib/libnel3d.so: undefined reference to `NL3D::UDriver::setMatrixMode2D43(void)'
+/usr/local/lib/libnel3d.so: undefined reference to `NL3D::UDriver virtual table'
+/usr/local/lib/libnel3d.so: undefined reference to `NL3D::UDriver type_info node'
+/usr/local/lib/libnel3d.so: undefined reference to `NL3D::UDriver type_info function'
+
+... which looks to me like more of that interface rearrangement stuff,
+and I have no idea what to do about it.
+
+As someone who would very much like to help either with testing, or
+even coding, I'd like to request that developers make CVS log entries
+a little more verbose then 'grrrrr', 'added file' or 'BUG: makefile'.
+I know you guys know what you're doing, and I can usually get some
+idea of what's going on looking at the diffs, but if 'grrrr' was 'path
+change (3d/tmp)', and 'added file' mentioned the filename, and 'BUG:
+makefile' said 'BUG: added frustrum.ccp', it would make it a lot
+easier for me to get my bearings and tracedown whether errors are due
+to my build environment, or due to some SNAFU in France, or whatever.
+It would also make it less likely that I would need to look at the
+diff at all.
+
+I love the screenshots, and I can't wait to try this stuff out on my
+own machine.
