Warzone 2100 Forums

When you build all the libraries, you pick if you want static versions or dynamic (dll). Currently, I have them all using static, except for SDL (1.2.15 is out BTW).
Anyway, you usually pick "Release static build" for all the libs.
Then you copy those libs to the devpkg, and then when you build warzone, it should look there for them.

seem i used static variant of theora

Try this one

it works, bullt ok
thank you for helping
you attached 1 library, theora includes some another libs, which i used from my theora build, not from devpkg

Oh.. heh, forgot.

Here are all the libs.

(note, they may be old, I haven't gotten the time to update them to the newest versions of each yet)

rebuild succeeded.
it works

but i did not tested running of compiled wz

3 pages of try'n'fix and you didn't run it when you finally build it?

be patient, i'm new in building wz and open-source projects
if someone can say or give link how get built wz to work is will be helpful

Umm... I'm a bit lost...
You got that Warzone2100.exe, right? Simply run it with correct datadir param.

Hmm ?
My process:
Install git, pull down repo, make devpkg (all libs / headers), load up solution file, compile, and then run.

first run failed, some dll's not found, building zlib and libpng15
update: it just run, switches to fullscreen mode and then just crash
where i can see error messages?

What do you mean ?
Are you running it within MSVC, or standalone ?
It should output all STDOUT/STDERR to the logs though.

IIRC MSVC builds logs all messages by default into standard win debugging system. You could launch game in debug mode with MSVC or you can use WinDbg (which requires more mastery than MSVC) to intercept them. Alternatively you could tweak wz-debug subsystem, so it would redirect messages into logs file, like mingw builds.

Already did this, all build systems will write out all STDERR/STDOUT to log files.

tried run by both ways with same result.
