Remove Byte Order Mark from source files

[drm00]

Compilation on OpenBSD fails due to byte order marks.

This is most likely UTF8-related, but are these identifiers needed? I patch them out locally now, but if they are not needed, i would like to see them removed.

See Pull Request #10.

Thanks for your awesome work!

Thank you for discovering this issue.

Unfortunately, if we remove BOM, then builds with Visual Studio on Windows will not work correctly.

I looked further into the issue and discovered that OpenBSD uses a quite old version of GCC compiler (4.2) which can't read files with BOM correctly (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33415). This was fixed in newer versions of GCC.

I guess the right course of action in this situation is to use newer version of GCC for compiling this game. On OpenBSD 5.5 this should work:

  # pkg_add sdl-1.2.15p6
  # pkg_add gmake
  # pkg_add gcc-4.6.4p7
  # pkg_add g++-4.6.4p4
  $ gmake CC=egcc CXX=eg++

Let me know if it works for you.

Hi Gennady,

thanks for your reply. Compiling works on OpenBSD, and i could play the game. I want to make an official port to make this game available as a package, and will try to sort these issues out.

If you want, sure, go ahead.
