[SOLVED] Problem with building the game

[iliaarpad]

Hi!

I'm having some problem building the game. I tried following the how-to on the wiki pages but it would seem that "ld" has some problem creating the game.dll - partial log follows:

Code: [Select]

...
Compiling: ..\..\src\game\lua\lundump.c
Compiling: ..\..\src\game\lua\lvm.c
Compiling: ..\..\src\game\lua\lzio.c
Compiling: ..\..\src\game\lua\print.c
Compiling: ..\..\src\game\q_shared.c
Compiling: ..\..\src\shared\infostring.c
Compiling: ..\..\src\shared\mathlib.c
Compiling: ..\..\src\shared\parse.c
Compiling: ..\..\src\shared\shared.c
Linking dynamic library: ..\..\base\game.dll
ld: dllcrt2.o: No such file: No such file or directory
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 8 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings
The folder containing the dllcrt2.o is in the linker search directories.
When I use a command prompt and type in either ld or dllcrt2.o they both are found (that is, they are also on the path). I would compile it on linux if only I could use my wireless there - but I can't so I'm stuck with Vista.

Thanks!

A quick googling showed this for me.

Yes, I've seen that, thank you.
I tried moving MingW to the root level (D:\MingW), the source to compile is on the same partition, tried compiling using CodeBlocks, MSys, tried swapping the '\' characters to '/' in the PATH env. variable, tried prefixing the toolchain executables with full path (d:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-g++.exe and d:/MinGW/bin/mingw32-g++.exe) but it still complains about a missing .o file. I also tried applying a small patch I found here but that didn't help either.

I'm sure I did something wrong since nobody else seems to have this problem but I just can't seem to find what that was.

Duh!

Finally did it! It would seem that I had to install a candidate version of the MingW (3.4.5) and make CodeBlocks use that instead of 3.4.2. I can't believe I really spent 5 days with this when all I had to do was just use 3.4.5 instead of 3.4.2... Someone shoot me please!
