I think the default value of that flag ' MAKENSIS="wine C:/Program\ Files/NSIS/makensis.exe" ' worked fine for me without any problems.

The tip with MAKENSIS="." is from the days where MAKENSIS had to have a value.
Now it doesnt matter anymore, since you can disable the NSIS part by not defining INSTALLER.
(But I think I forgot to check for MAKENSIS in case INSTALLER is enabled... Will fix that later...)

do you work on the problem with windows?

Post by **DevUrandom** » 18 Jan 2007, 18:50

I thought I am finished...
What's the problem now? Something new? Something old? Did I overlook anything?

huhu you finished?
hmm the problem with linux was finished...
all problems compiling the game on my pc were finished...
but the game crashes also everytime i start it on windows, in the thread you saied you must make a backtrace to fix it, or if that is already done i want the new sourcecode to make it work

You mean the empty config problem?
I currently don't have any backtraces. I can't create them myself, as I don't encounter the problem.
I don't even have time to work on this till next month, sorry.

hey guys, i have the same problem, windows xp pro sp2, when opening the normal or the grims version, it loads 1 sec and then nothing, nothing in the taskmanager, and a 0byte config file, however, when i set in the shortcut settings -> compatibility -> to windows 98 / windows ME, it does load! it still doesn't work, but the warzone2100.exe is loaded into the process list!

Then this is in the error file:

error: Registry file config is empty!
error: Could not find game data. Aborting.

That Warzone can't find it's data is odd. It should search in the folder where the application is installed, which should be sufficient for a Windows installation.
You didn't move around the exe, I guess?
Anyway, you could try to fix it by supplying --datadir C:\Path\To\Warzone\2100\Data\ (don't forget the trailing slash).

For the config file: I will have a look and try to find out what's going on next month, as I currently don't have any time. If you want, I can notify you about the 2.0.6 release or when I need more info.

Would be nice if someone could test if the problem still happens with the attached exe.
(If someone can't download and install 7zip from http://7zip.org/, please notify me.)
