Windows / Re: All in one win32 build script

« on: January 18, 2010, 10:32:03 pm »

I've got the following error on the build. Any ideas? No pdfs were downloaded so I'm wondering why it's looking for one, or why none were downloaded if they're needed.

This is very embarassing to admit to as I do this for a living, but my problems were down to moving to Windows7 without understanding how MS "fixed" the security model.

Just in case anyone else runs into the same thing:

  If you don't set the configure_win32 program to run as Administrator Windows7 will, without telling you, create and use an alternate set of directories under %USERAPP% somewhere which will be empty and useless. For added joy those directories will be hidden, and you can only show hidden folders on a global basis.

I only worked this out after running into the same problems with other programs that wasted many hours of my life. Needless to say my hate for Windoze and M$ is at a peak right now.

> nsis
I can add a checkbox to build or not to build an installer

@horza
Be a little bit more specific
what gui gives you an error
what is the error

A picture tells a thousand words(and is attached), however the gui would be the make_win32 script and the error would be "I can't find the UFO AI Source" followed by some failed attempts to download it.

Downloaded the zip, ran the script ok, found mingw and nsis ok, but the src fails to download via the script repeatedly. Mostly does nothing, sometimes downloads a lot of files, but then just prompts for me to try again. 

Links to mingw, script, NSIS, and src in OP would be nice.

Feature Requests / Bug Reporting Protocol?

« on: November 21, 2008, 04:00:55 pm »

Just started a new topic for a fairly clear bug in the latest 2.3 Windows package. Is this the preferred way for bug reporting, or should we be doing it directly on Sourceforge?

I'm finding some instability in the release that are probably map compilation and other issues - should I be reporting everything I run into? Examples:

Most (not all) maps it's not possible to climb stairs
Had one "false" Alien activity report called "Project Release Version Number" that caused a crash if I clicked on it. Ignored and it went away.
Drag and drop for armour no longer works, right click was fine.
