Compiling for windows

[HaCk3Dq]

I am trying to compile a game for windows, it works great on linux.
I have installed all needed stuff such as 32 bit Golang, SDL2, MinGW and so on.
After trying to build it i get this error:

C:\Users\HaCk3D\Desktop\Game>go build main.go
github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl
could not determine kind of name for C.free

I've googled it, found that I should add an include for stdio "// #include <stdlib.h"
But i dont know where to do it, added in almost any file but it does not help

I think this is a problem with your installation of your tools.

When you have installed Go and MinGW correctly, you should be able to compile and run the following program just fine.

package main

//#include <stdlib.h>
import "C"

func main() {
    data := C.malloc(4)
    C.free(data)
}

Yep, it works well, but when i try to compile a game with sdl it doesn't work

C:\Users\HaCk3D\Desktop\Game>go build main2.go
C:\Users\HaCk3D\Desktop\Game>main2.exe
C:\Users\HaCk3D\Desktop\Game>go build main.go
# github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl
could not determine kind of name for C.free

Don't u know why?

And one more: i've tried first to crosscompile it, but it shows

$ GOARCH=amd64 GOOS=windows CGO_ENABLED=1 go build main.go 
# runtime/cgo
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mthreads’

Googled it, but no answers at all. Even cant find any info bout "-mthreads" flag

[akovaski]

Whats the difference between main2.go and main.go?

Are you sure that you have a clean version of this library?

Does go build github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl work?

Can you run the examples/events.go ?

Cross-compiling with cgo is a little tricky, I haven't done it in a while because it was too much of a bother the first time. I'm not very familar with it, but at the very least you have to make sure it calls a cross-compiling version of gcc instead of the regular gcc. mthreads

[HaCk3Dq]

main.go is my game, main2.go is ur source

ive installed it like on linux go get ithub.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl

go build github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl
# github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl
could not determine kind of name for C.free

So i cant try examples :C

Thnx a lot, btw dont u know how to define a mingw cross-compiler?
coz i have 3 of them

/usr/lib/gcc $ ls
i686-w64-mingw32/ 
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ 
x86_64-w64-mingw32/

When i try to use cc, it show the mthreads error again

GOARCH=amd64 GOOS=windows CGO_ENABLED=1 CC=cc go build main.go

[akovaski]

I still can't really tell where the error you're having is coming from...
It still seems like it isn't importing stdlib.h ...

So if you take a clean copy of go-sdl2 and add
#include <stdlib.h>
to the end of the file go-sdl2/sdl/sdl_wrapper.h,
does it change go build github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl ?

As for the cross-compilation, you'd be better off finding somebody familiar with it, try golang-nuts.

omg, added #include <stdlib.h> to go-sdl2/sdl/sdl_wrapper.h

That's pretty telling, I believe that this is the result of not having SDL2 installed correctly (for MinGW that is).

I still can't quite reproduce your output, but you could try re-copying the *.a files for SDL2 to mingw's lib folder (making sure to use the 32-bit version if you're still using 32-bit mingw & go).

As a more general course of action, try to get a simple C sdl program working.

Thnx a lot, it turned out that crosscompiling is much easier then compiling on win :D
Plz, close the issue.

@HaCk3Dq In case you want to try setting go-sdl2 up on Windows again, I put together a step-by-step guide here: https://gist.github.com/Decker108/7df1726192433a3bdb32

You might be interested in issue 382. If we can remove CGo on Windows, you only need a Go compiler and the SDL2.dll.
