Compiling spring (mingw and visual studio 7/8)

[imbaczek]

express is free ;p anyway if you've got a full version, then ok, but 2008 is simply a better compiler.

[lurker]

I can build you an updated 2005, I guess.

Do you have the expensive version of 2005 rather than the free version?

[submarine]

Ok, I got it to work with lurker's libs

[imbaczek]

upload them somewhere?

[submarine]

I took those (actually they have been provided by hoijui)

New mingwlibs:

Now includes OpenAL32 dll + include files

I'm having troubles with the mingwilbs_v13.exe. When I try to run it, it just says

Code: Select all

Program too big to fit in memory

I have plenty of memory free.

[imbaczek]

open it in 7zip, something is broken with the self-extracting part.

[Auswaschbar]

Made new mingwlibs, with boost updated to 1.38.
The old version failed at win32-thread support.

I'm trying to compile Spring with MinGW under WindowsXP. I have installed mingwlibs v16 and managed to compile all source files, but the linking part fails with the following message:

Code: Select all

[  0%] Built target gamedata
[ 10%] Built target streflop
[ 15%] Built target lua
[ 16%] Built target 7zip
[ 16%] Built target hpiutil2
[ 16%] Built target minizip
Linking CXX executable spring.exe
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.3.3/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lfreetype

There's freetype6.dll under mingwlibs\dll but I'm not sure if it's the right file for the job or not. There's no libfreetype6.a anywhere I know.

Any idea how I should correct this?

EDIT: this was for 0.78.2.1 sources. After some talk in #sy I was instructed to get mingwlibs v12. Sadly all download links are dead

mingwlibs v17 with junction.exe, script for making junctions and libboost_program_options compiled.

[lurker]

Seriously? A junction point? Does it fall back to copy if it's not on NTFS?

[imbaczek]

it's a 4-line .bat, no idea what it does on non-ntfs, don't have such relics on my boxen

[hoijui]

mingwlibs v18 (minor changes)
as we found out, the junctions thing is not needed, so they are out again, plus awk.exe was replaced with one that does not depend on msys.

I'm trying to compile Spring with VS.net 2008 (same error ocurred with 2005 as well) and I'm getting

Do I have the wrong platform SDK version? Or what else may cause this problem?

Same problem?

windows.h needs to be included before Vfw.h
-lVfw32.lib for linking

[zerver]

You can also compile with NO_AVI

[AF]

Do we have an upto date VC9 libs package?

[AF]

Ahk

*tears hair out*

Where can I find ANY vclib package for 2008.

Not on:

• This site
• Spring files
• Darkstars

mingw build env isn't terribly hard on windows, *and* it'll sync
