How to compile with mingw32/Dev-C++?

I've searched this forum and nothing works. How do I compile the source code with mingw32 and/or Dev-C++? I get a huge list of errors from Dev-C++ when I try to compile the source code (un-edited).

I've tried make.mingw.bat, putting mingw32-make.exe in the same folder, etc., and that doesn't do anything.

That\'s right. I have the same problems.
Can someone give us a real little help because compiling seams to be impossible?

in the src folder there is a folder called mingw. open that, copy the .bat file and put it in the top level (sauerbraten folder). then move the makefile up a level into the src folder. finally rename the 'lib' folder in the mingw folder to lib.mingw and put it in the src folder. now go back to the top level and run make.mingw. it should compile. now copy the sauerbraten.bat file and edit it to point to sauerbraten-mingw.exe in the bin folder instead of just sauerbraten.exe

I can get it to do something through the DOS prompt, but not with the .bat.

When I try it in DOS it tries to compile but can't find the .o output files. But they're not there to begin with. How do I make/generate them?

I tried to compile Sauerbraten with the mingw32. But i when i run make.mingw in the Sauerbraten-folder it writes:

C:\Program Files\Sauerbraten\cd src

C:\Program Files\Sauerbraten\src\ mingw32-make all -fMakefile.mingw "mingw32-make" is not an command, program or batchfile (My Windows is in danish, so i translated it)

C:\Program Files\Sauerbraten\src\PAUSE



I did exactly what the user "ethan592" sad...

Can somebody help me?

Yes..i think so. I did, like the instructions.

I also tried to compile the sourcecode with Dev-C++ and Microsoft Visual C++, but nothing works.
It allways come out with a lot of errors!

Do you know why? Or do you have another soloution, that works?

Because you did not do something correctly, you did not enable or you do not have something. Only way we can help is if you give us the list of errors that you received when trying to compile.

I put those devcpp project files there, and have since found that the necessary devpak's required to build sauerbraten successfully are no longer available.

I had been using devcpp for many years and had no need to try to update them earlier (as I could already compile cube/sauerbraten successfully).

My suggestion is to do as I did and switch to Code::Blocks (grab the stable 1.0rc2 bundled with MingW). The project file for this is in Sauerbraten's src/mingw/ but is only available in CVS, which you're on your own with :P The beauty of switching to an IDE that properly uses mingw is we can use the includes and libs supplied with Sauerbraten.

Hope that helps a little. But yeah, drop devcpp, it's dying a slow poor death.

Hi ethan592

Thank you for a fast reply

That\'s how my C:\\sauerbraten\\sauerbraten.bat looks like but for some reason when i compile it doesn\'t make any changes to my sauerbraten.exe file??

bin\\sauerbraten-mingw.exe -w1024 -h768 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5

and after compiling i look at the date of sauerbraten.exe that was created or last time modified and it still the old date??

?????

it should create a new file, sauerbraten-mingw.exe, does that file show up in your bin folder?

Hi ethan592

Thx ethan592 for trying to help me with my problem.

Yes there is a file sauerbraten-mingw.exe in a bin folder and i also
made a change to to sauerbraten.bat so it can run sauerbraten-mingw.exe from main folder but the problem that when i'm trying to test it by changing some stuff to <h> files in fpsgame folder and i save it I don't see this changes in a game after??

<<<For testing purpuses purposes i've used weapons.h file>>>

Thx again ethan592
Hope to hear from you soon

header files are not compiled. just save one of the .cpp files that references the header file to trick it into recompiling. this should work
