I have programmed a dialog for the viewer and am trying to get it to
open from a menu. I followed the 2 tutorials on the wiki:
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Adding_a_dialog
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Adding_a_menu_item
I followed the first tut to the letter except for changing the names on
the commit/button. For the second tutorial I followed pretty much
everything except the last part where it has you add a line to the
intialize_menu_actions() function. This appeared deprecated to me so I
added the following to the initialize_menus() function:
addMenu(new LLToolsSearch(), "Tools.Search");
The name of the class for the menus is LLToolSearch and it calls the
show method of my dialog which is named LLFloaterSearch. When I compiled
however I keep getting the following error:
In function 'LLToolsSearch::handleEvent(LLPointer<LLEvent>, LLSD const&)':
undefined reference to 'LLFloaterSearch::show(void*)'
I have checked and triple checked all my includes and they seem to be in
order but I will list them -
llviewermenu.cpp: "llfloatersearch.h"
llfloatersearch.h: "llfloater.h"
llfloatersearch.cpp: "llviewerprecompiledheaders.h",
"llfloatersearch.h", "llvieweruictrlfactory.h"
I am developing on Ubuntu 7.04 using scons. I have specified a build
directory and when I looked in the newview folder of the partially
completed build I noticed it had llfloatersearch.h but no .cpp or .o
file. I have tried building from scratch as well and it does not work.
This is the first time I have added my own source files to the viewer
(llfloatersearch.h and .cpp) and am thinking I must be doing something
wrong either in the compile command im using for SCons or in the
linking. It is also possible that the wiki is dated enough that the
instructions to not work.
So does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Alex C.
