configure isn't supported. can't help you here!

I knew I shouldn't have mentioned configure because someone would get hung up 
on that. Please note that it's not a configure issue, but rather a devkitPPC 
compatibility issue. I commented out SDL-Wii's duplicate definition and got 
past it.

Actually I'm already porting Abuse SDL to the Wii, 95% complete, just need to 
setup the constrols. Hint: get rid of this crazy configure script and of 0.8, 
because it WON'T COMPILE, I've already tried to compile using the configure or 
using a custom Wii makefile... but 0.8 won't compile on the Wii. 0.7.1 does, 
but there's some things to change... LOTS of things... It took almost three 
months to fix somethings.

It did compile, with a very small amount of massaging, and my port of Sam 
Hocevar's version of the 0.8 source is complete and released after a week's 
worth of effort!

Hey, how did you compiled 0.8?? Was it using the configure script? 0.8 just 
won't compile here. And what operating system?

I used Ubuntu Linux.

Sam Hocevar's source at http://abuse.zoy.org/ does not come with Makefiles. 
Instead, it has autotools files for generating a configure script, which in 
turn generates makefiles.

So I first ran autoconf/autoreconf to generate configure. It said the autotools 
files were out of date and told me how to update them, so I followed the 
suggestions and re-ran.

I then ran configure with various parameters (and a custom Wii-specific 
sdl-config that I whipped up) to generate the Makefiles, but it choked per my 
bug report above. I commented out SDL Wii's redundant definition of uintptr_t 
to get past that issue.

I had to massage the Makefiles slightly after that, mainly because configure 
puts extra -lm and -lSDL_mixer arguments in the Makefiles.

I also had some trouble with the fact that the game defines a regular int 
main(int argc, char* argv[]) in game.cpp but SDL expects SDL_main() instead. 
There are multiple workarounds (-Dmain=SDL_main or #include <SDL/SDL_main.h>), 
but I had lots of problems trying to get them so work, so I ended up just doing 
an #ifdef'd replacement of main with SDL_main in game.cpp.

I believe I additionally had to add an #include <stdint.h> to one of the imlib 
files.

This got the source to compile for me, but of course it didn't run correctly 
until I made lots of other Wii-specific changes.

I've uploaded my modified source (with Makefiles) to 
http://code.google.com/p/abuse-wii/downloads/list in case you want to take a 
look. The SVN metafiles are in there too so that you can use TortoiseSVN or 
whatever to diff my changes against the SVN baseline.

We should probably move this discussion to either 
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Talk:Abuse_Wii or 
http://devkitpro.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2920

Also, libogc 1.8.8 or later is required because previous versions defined a 
color_table variable that clashed with one in the Abuse source. Since 
WinterMute of libogc was answering compiling questions for me on devkitpro.org, 
he decided to fix the conflict by changing libogc.

But I've already done all of that on 0.8 and still it didn't compiled! In rare 
cases when compiling was successful, the file wasn't an .elf file...

Well, wasted my time. Now I don't know what to port/create next lol but thanks 
for the game, it marked my childhood back then in 2000

It will compile to a binary named "abuse" that is actually a Wii .elf file.

The source that I uploaded should compile for you out of the box by just 
running make in the abuse-trunk directory, provided you're running under Linux 
and have devkitpro installed to /opt (otherwise you may need to edit the -I and 
-L paths in the Makefiles).

You can then run elf2dol to convert src/abuse to boot.dol and drop it in place 
of the boot.dol in my pre-built version.

ah, didn't knew that... well, but still, compiling under Windows using MSYS 
gave me undefined references to blahblahblah... thanks
