[NEED INFO] Empty configfile one Windows: game won't start

[Sento]

maybe it would not crash if the config file would be written normal.

[Sento]

okay i checked it out and will try to compile it myself with dev-cpp using mingw as far i know.
If it dont work please say me wehre i can find the programm part which writes the config file

never use dev-cpp to compile a relatively big project like wz...it failed miserably for me last time when I tried to compile wz with it,other combinations such as msys+mingw/code::block+mingw/msvc should work with minimal tweaks with configs.

[Sento]

okay i tryed it but in the config file i dont know whats with

# Path to makensis
#MAKENSIS="wine C:/Program\ Files/NSIS/makensis.exe"

what is it and where can i get it

[DevUrandom]

I think it should not hurt if you set that to

Code: Select all

MAKENSIS="."

(I hope I am right... )

[Sento]

hmm i must have done something wrong.... there are lots of errors...
as exemple:
types.h:35: error: syntax error before "UBYTE"
types.h:35: warning: data definition has no type or storage class

[DevUrandom]

Line 35 of lib/framework/types.h should be:

Code: Select all

# include <stdint.h>

I wonder what is messed up there...

Could you provide the complete error messages of the first failing file?
Or maybe the whole error messages in a log file...

[Sento]

i thing i made something wrong there are several errors like syntax errors maybe i used the wrong compiler...

must i have sdl installed?

edit: okay i forgot the developer pack

[Sento]

okay maybe i found the problem, it works now

[Sento]

but not long

E:\cvs\Compiler\GnuWin32 -d  -oresource_parser.c resource_parser.y
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), E:\cvs\Compiler\GnuWin32 -d -oresource_pars
er.c resource_parser.y, ...) failed.
make (e=5): Zugriff verweigert
mingw32-make[2]: *** [resource_parser.c] Error 5

seems like a permission problem i dont know how to fix it
filessystem is fat32

[DevUrandom]

Looks as if you gave the bison command as "E:\cvs\Compiler\GnuWin32" (a directory probably) instead of a real file...

[Sento]

okay it compieled a while (with some depricated warnings) and then abort like this:

i dont know where the ljpeg is...

[DevUrandom]

That one is definitely in http://download.gna.org/warzone/develop ... mingw32.7z

[Sento]

please correct it in the wiki:
http://wz2100.net/wiki/user:windows_compile_guide
the second link is empty
I would it do myself but im dont want to do something wrong..
