nextlib v7 compile command options and sound effects functions
Hi There,
I am trying out nextlib v7 and have found that I get error messages below for existing code that compiles with previous v6 and does not use the v7 sound effects subroutines:
next-demo-sprite-test.bas:3154: error: Undefined GLOBAL label '.playmusicnl'
next-demo-sprite-test.bas:3337: error: Undefined GLOBAL label '.ayfxbankinplaycode'
next-demo-sprite-test.bas:3340: error: Undefined GLOBAL label '.afxChDesc'
I'm not using NextBuild and am just copying the nextlib.bas v7 file to my /path/to/zxbasic/arch/zxnext/library/ dir
If I add -D NOAYFX to my zxbc.py compile command, this helps but I still get some of the above error messages.
So I added
#ifndef NOAYFX
' Added to disable sound effects
Before
sub fastcall PlaySFX(byval fx as ubyte)
and added
#endif
' Added for #ifndef NOAYFX
After the end of
sub fastcall CallbackSFX()
After these changes, my code compiled successfully.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Regards,
Derek.
Hi
I don't know what's in "next-demo-sprite-test.bas" to comment on.
The current version of nextlib is 7.3 and visible at the top the library, and in Nextbuild is it stored in Scripts/ not the arch folder.
You should not need to add any ifdefs manually as they have already been applied correctly but if you're mixing versions and not using Nextbuild I suppose its going to get a bit muddled up, as everything now expect to be built with nextbuild.py - other configurations aren't supported.
If you are not using any of the interrupt routines - none of the interrupt / ayfx code should be included.
The example /Sources/CustomInterrupt.bas shows how to use a CustomISR without AYFX/Music.
Maybe you could post the source so I can see what is heppening?
Thanks.

Hi em00k,
Thanks for your reply, I've created an empty .bas file that just has
' :dbolli:20210218 11:52:06 Empty test of nextlib.bas
' compile with zxbc.py next-demo-empty-test.bas --arch zxnext --zxnext --optimize=3 --tap --BASIC --org=24576 --heap-size=768 --autorun#include <nextlib.bas>
PAPER 7: BORDER 7 : BRIGHT 0: INK 0 : CLS
and when I compile with the command above, I get
next-demo-empty-test.bas:3154: error: Undefined GLOBAL label '.playmusicnl'
next-demo-empty-test.bas:3335: error: Undefined GLOBAL label '.ayfxbankinplaycode'
next-demo-empty-test.bas:3338: error: Undefined GLOBAL label '.afxChDesc'
If I add -D NOAYFX to the compile command, I get
next-demo-empty-test.bas:3335: error: Undefined GLOBAL label '.ayfxbankinplaycode'
next-demo-empty-test.bas:3338: error: Undefined GLOBAL label '.afxChDesc'
If I add -D IM2 to the compile command, I get the same errors as above.
If I add the #ifndef / #endif to nextlib.bas as in previous post, and compile with -D NOAYFX in the compile command, it compiles without errors.
Hope this makes things a bit clearer.
Regards,
Derek.
UPDATE: After a bit of jiggling with python3 versions, I found that nextbuild.py works for me 🙂
e.g.
PATH=$PATH:~/Path/to/NextBuildV7/Scripts/
export PATHcd "$HOME/Path/to/NextBuildV7/Sources/TopDownExample/"
nextbuild.py "$HOME/Path/to/NextBuildV7/Sources/TopDownExample/alien-b.bas"

Derek.
