Compiling under Codeblocks = masses of problems

Hey all..
I've compiled Sauerbraten under Code::Blocks using the version of MinGW suggested by the wiki, but there have been lots of problems so far:

1) Instead of showing messages (like talks and console messages) in the cmd.exe window, it puts it in a file called "stdout.txt".

2) Stereo sound effects are played in entirely the wrong position. Like, someone shoots and the sound comes from the opposite direction.

3) No music will play at all. Not even ogg files. I've tried all extensions (ogg, mp3, wav, mid, mod, xm, s3m, it) and with each one, nothing.

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix these problems?

"you need to close it manually by closing process in task manager "

What about Ctrl+C ?

1 is the fault of mingw, not Code::Blocks or Cube 2. I believe there's something you have to #define to change that behavior. (Google it.)

I found it! I put this under the SDL_init command:

freopen( "CON", "w", stdout );
freopen( "CON", "w", stderr );

Thanks for that .
I have sort-of fixed problem 3 by using FMOD for music and SDL_mixer for sound effects, but do you know of a solution for problem 2?

VC++ probably defines it. (Would be compiler option -DNO_STDIO_REDIRECT.)

Also, I find that feature very useful...
