Compiling the Source Code (PLEASE HELP)

[Kaysakado]

I edited the source code, but I need some help compiling it, because I don't understand the readme at all.

EDIT: Look at my last post, because I have a new dillemma.

First, you need a program that will let you compile EXEs (I reccomend Dev-C++)

Look around for a Srb2win.dev file. Open it with Dev-C++ or some other compiling program and compile it.

 

[Kaysakado]

I have Dev-C++, but I don't know how to work it. Can you give me step-by-step instructions?

Go to the win32 subdirectory of the src folder
Double click SRB2Win.dev
Wait for a minute without doing anything while it parses all the files
Go to project->project options, and skim through all the tabs changing anything important
Click the compile icon
Wait for awhile
If done correctly, you will have successfully compiled an EXE mod.

 

[Kaysakado]

I still can't get it to work. Can you compile it for me?

 

[Flame]

You still can't get it to work? More like you didn't try to find the Srb2win.dev file.
It's in the src->Win32 folder.

After you find it, just do what Draykon said.

Edit: And no, we won't compile it for you.

 

[Kaysakado]

I did find it. It's just that when I try to compile, it tries to save it as a .c file instead of exe file.

 

[Princess Plushima]

Save != Compile

Look for compile, not save.

 

[Kaysakado]

I preessed compile. Isn't it the green check?

EDIT: In the boxes that correspond to each of the files, it's blank. Is this normal? If you don't understand what I mean, I'll have a screenshot up soon.

EDIT2: Here's the screenshot:

Open:
\Source\src\win32\Srb2win.dev

In DC++:
Execute > Rebuild All
(I've noticed that this tends to compile the whole of the source, whereas, occasionally, plain old compiling won't do the whole)

Find file in:
\Source\bin\Mingw

Install these first:
http://dw.sepwich.com/files/Devpaks.zip
(DC++ will handle these for you)

This link is broken. It says "Page not found":
http://dw.sepwich.com/files/Devpaks.zip

Also, what file in \Source\bin\Mingw?

Go to the win32 subdirectory of the src folder
Double click SRB2Win.dev
Wait for a minute without doing anything while it parses all the files
Go to project->project options, and skim through all the tabs changing anything important
Click the compile icon
Wait for awhile
If done correctly, you will have successfully compiled an EXE mod.

You actually use the feature that gets stuff from the header? I haven't found a use for it so I turned it off...
Waste of time waiting for it to parse
'Class Browsing', it's called.

 

[Kaysakado]

I still can't get it to work. And why can't someone just compile it for me?

EDIT: I found something out! When I tried to compile something else, it worked. So it's not me, it's srb2win.dev that's causing the problem. I need to borrow someone else's srb2win.dev or something.

EDIT2: I tried re-installing the source, and the srb2win.dev that came with the unmodified source still wouldn't work.

http://dw.sepwich.com/files/Devpacks.zip

Also, it'll compile the EXE and move it into there.

 

[Kaysakado]

Where do I extract Devpacks.zip to? My Dev C++ folder?

 

[Rob]

Just extract them anywhere.

DC++ handles those itself. Just open the packs and install.

 

[Kaysakado]

I just found something out! If I make it manually, it compiles it correctly. Now i just need to know what the project options should be and where all the stuff I need to put into the EXE are. Can someone give me a list of tge stuff I need to put into the EXE are?
