a few fixes to make it compile again

[philippkeller]

fixed:

• point build.gradle to current .gradle file (better would be to decouple those two projects)
• escape $ in make file
• add darwin directory for building on OSX

it still does not build on my machine (I assume you just build on the top level with gradle build, no?), but it's certainly closer to success

If GitHub didn't change it's URLs to raw resources... shakes fist 😛

Anyway, I'll take a look at this some time and see if I can get this thing building again.

Heya, I'm gonna close this PR since it contains edits that look like they're mainly for your fork (eg: edits to the readme about your use of the fork). I'll still work on trying to get this repo to build though.

[philippkeller]

fair enough, I continued to try and fix it. I think the code is based on JDK7. I fixed a bunch of "catch IOException" problems and pushed the results into this branch (if this is of any value): https://github.com/philippkeller/redhorizon/tree/ioexception

Now I'm stuck with this error:

[ant:iajc] /Users/philipp/oss/redhorizon/Projects/Red Horizon - Launcher/Java/redhorizon/launcher/ErrorMessage.java:66 [error] nz.net.ultraq.gui cannot be resolved to a type
[ant:iajc] ErrorMessage errormessage = new nz.net.ultraq.gui.swt.SWTErrorMessage();
[ant:iajc]                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[ant:iajc] when resolving types defined in compilation unit /Users/philipp/oss/redhorizon/Projects/Red Horizon - Launcher/Java/redhorizon/launcher/Launcher.ja

Where do I get nz.net.ultraq.gui from?

[ultraq]

I don't think that exists. The master branch was just everything I had at the time I pushed it, and that didn't mean the entire project would run - just bits of it.

I also found this project was a Java 7 one as the version of AspectJ being used to compile it didn't work w/ Java 8 (I don't have 7 on my machine any more) until I updated that too.

I'm wondering now if I should just concentrate my efforts towards finishing this other branch that I have where I'm trying to get everything to be a JAR that can be deployed to Maven so that people can just pull in whatever parts (that I have completed like all the filetypes) they need.

I got the Filetypes project to compile in the branch I referred to. Anyways: however you decide: why I want to compile it is that I am facing an issue when converting a SHP file into png. The resulting png is a transparent one layer png without any pixels.

Here's what I run (the files I used are attached here: dune2.tar.gz and here is the resulting png: b.png):

06:51 $ java -classpath *:Libraries/* redhorizon.utilities.converter.ConverterCommandLine shp.ShpFileDune2 png.PngFile PIECES.SHP b.png BENE.PAL
Loading input file/s...
PIECES.SHP (Dune 2 SHP file)
  Number of images: 28
  Image width: 88
  Image height: 60
  Colour depth: 8-bit

Saving output file...
b.png (PNG file)
  Image width: 968
  Image height: 180
  Colour depth: 8-bit (using internal palette)

Done.

Hmm, not sure what might be missing 😕 I've tried running a really old version of the file converter utilities that used to be available for download via the Red Alert forums I used to frequent back when I was working on this. It seems to give me much better results, although maybe still the wrong palette, not sure.

Here's the ZIP file I had for a "version 0.28a" from June 2008, which seems to be the last binary version I had: RedHorizon_Utilities_dev028a.zip

The scripts were all for Windows only, so will need a bit of translation to Mac/Unix OS', but it seems to give something better than that blank image you got.

[philippkeller]

thanks, with this version, when running this:

java -classpath redhorizon-utilities.jar:Localizations:Libraries/aspectjrt.jar redhorizon.utilities.converter.Converter shp.ShpFileDune2 png.PngFile unpacked/UNITS1.SHP units1.png unpacked/BENE.PAL

the result is this: which looks pretty good!

Thanks for the help. Maybe you can put this zip file in github under releases?

Definitely a good idea 👍 Issue created: #9
