Compiler of choice

[kain]

What compiler does the official release candidate get compiled with? I have not had any success with visual studio 2005, and I can't compile SVN with dev-cpp (only the RC5 compiles with devcpp... good sign). I am trying code::blocks now, but I am curious to know what the official windows binaries are compiled with.

Great game so far! Thanks!

Edit: I just tried codeblocks, and it doesn't work either... not sure where to go from here. I would love to contribute to this project, but I can't seem to get it compiled.

What libraries do I need to install for codeblocks to work? I like the looks of this IDE a lot, but the wiki doesn't say which libraries to install. I'm going to try to go off of the dev-cpp list.

i use dev-cpp to compile it - but we recently introduced openal-support - and the windows support is not completed atm. just remove the snd_openal.c, qal.c snd qal_win.c from dev-cpp project files to bulid without openal - "should" work

ok so I should be able to update svn and it will compile with the dev-cpp projects now?

Edit: I just reread what you said. I thought you said that you just removed the files, but I have to remove them. Gotcha. Thanks!

I did notice that qal files were the ones I was having problems with... I hope it works. Currently waiting for the SVN to download again since I wiped it before.

What do you know... it worked

Everything is good except linking the ref_gl package:

well ref_gl.dev, ufo.dev, campaigneditor.dev and snd_dx.dev have some issues under devcc.maybe they get fixed.
other problem is as i know that one packes for the devcc is outdated so there happen some problems.

install libpng (see wiki) and add -lpng to project linker flags

[kain]

yea... I instaled libpng already but never thought to change the linker flags... duh!

[kain]

Now to find where to change the linker parameters... any hints? I've never used devcpp before, sorry.

[kain]

Nevermind... I had to right click on the project and go to project options... all compiled. Now I'm going to try to run it

[kain]

AWESOME!!!! It runs!!

I had to copy the new library dll files to the game dir, but it runs great! Now I can keep up with the development, and maybe even offer some help when needed I'm good with c/c++, so I'm going to try.

[kain]

Hrm... everything compiles fine now, but when I run the game there are some quirky things going on. I setup my first base, and no buildings show up to place. I also don't see anything in the buy/sell list, and I can't go to the options menu at all. I'm sorry if this is all known stuff... just let me know

Thanks!

[Mattn]

no, this is not known. at least not by me. let's discuss in irc about your problem
