[T-Low]

Hi,
i have problems to create the installer with the UfoAI win32 configure 0.8.0.
dev.2.4 Rev 30174

Is there something i can do?
It works fine with a previous revision.

Code: [Select]

File: "..\..\..\ufo.exe" -> no files found.
Usage: File [/nonfatal] [/a] ([/r] [/x filespec [...]] filespec [...] |
   /oname=outfile one_file_only)
Error in script "C:\Users\Public\UFOAIwin32BUILDenv\MinGW\ufoai\contrib\installer\windows\ufoai.mod.nsi" on line 112 -- aborting creation process
Endtime: 2010.05.31 12:30:56 2
Error 26
Failed to build the installer
ps.
Nice game and great job!

Are you sure that you compile the game before?

If you're getting that error with muton's script, you're doing something seriously wrong, since I've compiled revision up to 30225 with it easily. You do need to download the all-in-one package first, though, to make sure, and follow his instructions in the wiki. It's not a bug.

Oh, right.
The log tells me, there was an error in the build process.
But thats another problem and reported: [Rev 30253 and beyond] compile error

Code: [Select]

Linking executable: ..\..\ufo.exe
.objs\client\src\client\menu\m_icon.o:m_icon.c:(.text+0x244): undefined reference to `MN_IconExists'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (7 minutes, 46 seconds)

Thanks for help.

It builds fine if you set debug.

[bayo]

MN_IconExists is only used inside an assert. Maybe some compilators do not remove asserts for the release build... i dont know.

[Edi]

Aesten posted a tracker item of this. Whether or not it's necessary or valid needs to be determined by someone more competent than I am.

[Mattn]

if there is a release build that don't add -DNDEBUG the asserts are not wiped away afaik

[Muton]

-DNODEBUG or -DNDEBUG
C::B files have set -DNODEBUG

Edit:
It was reported that svn 30253 was the first revision with that error ....
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ufoai/changeset/30253

ufoai/trunk/src/client/menu/m_icon.c
disabling those changes fixed the compiler-error

bayo, could you please take a look at

[Aesten]

30284 builds just fine.
