Simulator on MacOS

Pokitto Programming

Hi,

I try to create a Makefile for the Pokitto Simulator on MacOS. Ultimately I do this to be able to compile http://microblocks.fun/

Now I am stuck: I am missing a definition of function lcdRectangle()
it is declared in POKITTO_SIM/SimLCD.h and invoked in POKITTO_CORE/PokittoDisplay.cpp:

…/POKITTO_CORE/PokittoDisplay.cpp:205: lcdRectangle(x,y,x2,y2,color);
…/POKITTO_SIM/SimLCD.h:61:extern void lcdRectangle(int16_t,int16_t,int16_t,int16_t,uint16_t);

Am I missing something?

Hi Olav

I think this is a helper function added by one of our collaborators, that may not have been added for the simulator.

I will check.

EDIT: I’m off until the afternoon so it will be in the evening, sorry.

Hi

I had a look. Make sure SimLCD.cpp is included in your project.

It’s there, on line 103

void Pokitto::lcdRectangle(int16_t x0, int16_t y0, int16_t x1, int16_t y1, uint16_t c) {
    simulator.directSDLRectangle(x0,y0,x1,y1,c);
}

Also Olav,

make sure you have POK_SIM defined when you target the simulator

Jonne, thank you so much for your help.

The problem seems to be that I started from repo https://github.com/pokitto/PokittoSim which does not have the file SimLCD.cpp .

Maybe it would be a good idea to mark the PokittoSim repo as deprecated and point people to the newer PokittoLib ?

I will switch to https://github.com/pokitto/PokittoLib and see how it goes from there.

A quick update:

I managed to compile the example HelloWorld into an executable. Sadly, this crashes immediately:

Maybe my libSDL2 has problems. I will investigate later.

Found several issues on different GitHub projects with the same issue.
Almost certainly SDL2 at fault.

Which version of SDL2 are you using?
