Spring RTS Engine

I'll see if I can be some use to the project by trying to get that Visual Studio project generation process fixed myself, but not this week due to an emerging family emergency. I've been mostly using the Microsoft toolchain for my own personal stuff, and this goes back to awhile ago when I was last ...

When I recreated the cmake build directory I was using for a mingw compile, I was finally able to get it to build in there.

I've confirmed libboost-chrono-mt.a is in mingwlibs. My compile times aren't that bad. I threw together a new system during the last holidays, and got an SSD on which I compile. Granted, the honeymoon period will wear off, and then I'll be looking out for any extra help. IIRC there was something lik...

Well I might be fixing your Windows build process hahaha. Speaking of cmake, I tried the mingw build and that complained about chronos, but in a new and interesting way: Linking CXX executable ..\..\..\spring.exe c:/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.7.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lb...

"something" thats a bit unspecific. you should be able to do most tasks easily in lua, for some you'll need some workarounds but most stuff should be possible. i/o to disk is possible, network is possible with lua(sockets), too. if you give more details maybe we can help more and you mayb...

you still didn't answer my questions. you ignore me, i ignore you... (which version of spring do you try to compile?) what is your final goal? I don't really know how to answer which version I built, as it never built enough for me to report a version string. All I can find is VersionGenerated.h th...

Yes it should be clear I have figured that part out. I had started to dabble in that without getting the whole source to compile, but I wanted to have it on ready so I could try more dramatically altering things. You have to excuse me about generating a Visual Studio project with cmake. I don't norm...

did you use the project file included in the spring repository or do you use cmake to generate the project file? which version of spring do you try to compile? the release branch contains that should create a working VS project file with cmake... I tried the VS2010 project when I tried to do the Vi...

I suppose I should mention to even get that far in the VS2010 build I had to beat the snot out of the project configuration to get out of some project variable shenanigans. A virgin build would give you this warning: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(990,5)...

I'm trying to build the engine from the git stable source on Windows. For the record, I am running Windows 8. I have tried with both VS2010 and also with the mingw procedure. Either way, I run into problems with the Boost dependencies. I use Boost for my own stuff, so I do have some awareness of som...
