Trouble with the installer.nsi script

[BTAxis]

Possibly the installer installs MinGW to a different directory than the one used in the prepackaged version. If it's a different location, replace your previously installed MinGW with the one from the prepackaged version.

Found the problem! I had downloaded the right one, and put in the settings described on the page. BUT[/i] The zip file I downloaded (the one you linked to) had MinGW inside the Codeblocks folder. The paths in the instructions needed MinGW in the development folder. i.e. a level up. So either the zip file needs fixing, with both the MinGW folder and the Codeblocks folder side by side in a folder called development and just extract it to c:, or else the paths need to be fixed in the instructions at

http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Code::Blocks.

If I'd been a bit cleverer I would have noticed the discrepancy.

Many many thanks for all of your help.

Can I suggest on the wiki page for the compiling of the sourse that you have a 'checklist' of what has to be done, in what order. All the information is there alright, but it isn't obvious which order it is meant to be in. At least for idiots like me!

One more thing... LOL I thought that was all, but nope... I've obviously done something else wrong.

Code: [Select]

You're right. I installed minGW from the installer of the MinGw official web site. I shouldn't.
The C::B packages contains all that is needed.

I moved the MinGW up a level and corrected my C::B paths. Now it's compiling much better.

Hope this thread will help others.

Thanks.

You're right. I'll take care of this.

This was actually an error in the script. I've fixed it. Update it from SVN and try again.

[Afterthought_btw]

Still got an error:

Code: [Select]

SetOutPath: "$INSTDIR\radiant\docs"
File: "..\..\..\radiant\docs\*.html" -> no files found.
Usage: File [/nonfatal] [/a] ([/r] [/x filespec [...]] filespec [...] |

And thanks again for your patience

[BTAxis]

This is sort-of pending. The plan is to extract the mapping instructions from the wiki to html for the manual, but as far as I know there is no established process for this.

For the time being, I have disabled this in the script. Please try again.

[Afterthought_btw]

Still going I'm afraid

Code: [Select]

SetOutPath: "$INSTDIR\src\tools\radiant\libs\md5lib"
File: "..\..\tools\radiant\libs\md5lib\*.c" -> no files found.

This is probably because mattn changed stuff around in the radiant source and didn't update the installer. I was afraid that might be the case.

It SHOULD work again now. Does here, at least. It'll complain about the pdf, but that's a /nonfatal, so just ignore it.

[Afterthought_btw]

Worked fine!

Again, thanks!

Hi guys,

I finally sorted all my compilation tools and I was able to compile almost entirely the game.

here's the last errors I have

Code: [Select]

2 warnings:
  File: "..\..\..\src\docs\tex\*.pdf" -> no files found. (O:\Eclipse-WS\UFOAI\src\ports\windows\installer.nsi:88)
  File: "..\..\..\radiant\*.dll" -> no files found. (O:\Eclipse-WS\UFOAI\src\ports\windows\installer.nsi:203)
The first is non-fatal, I know. But I'm not sure about the second one.
I compiled all the workspace through CB, compiled the maps (~2hours) the po files and the pk3.

Should I update the CB ? I tried downloading a more recent version, but my downloads gets interrupted.

Thanks for your input about this.

Tim

[Mattn]

looks like you just didn't compile radiant

[BTAxis]

Then it'd error on radiant.exe though.

Then it'd error on radiant.exe though.

Right, The "radiant.exe" file is there, ~2Mb.

Any idea left ?

Tim

[BTAxis]

Does radiant run properly? If it does, then you have nothing to worry about. I'm not sure, but maybe that line can be taken out of the installer script.

[TimMayle]

I suppose it works, but I'm not sure.
It tells me that the application can't start because it can't find libgdk_pixbuf.dll.
My opinion is that this error comes from the PATH not containing my GTK installation.
So I suppose my installation works.

Thanks for your support guys.

edit: I installed my version. And it works. Saved games are still compatibles
edit2: Well in fact, I can't enter the crash sites I'll wait for a more stable version like Destructavator also said.
