Compiling CS in winows

[dfryer]

well, with mingw I think you need the crystal space \"mingwlibs\" package?  I don\'t know much about it, but it might include libjpeg & company.

Does MSVC stop when it hits an error?  If so, can you disable that behaviour?

I installed it, but the files are missing so they aren\'t included, i think.

Yes it stops. No I can\'t (is it possible?)

The best place to go is the #crystalspace channel on irc.freenode.net, if you do IRC.  There\'s often a couple people there who use MSVC - I don\'t have access to a copy right now so I can\'t help you.

I would suspect that the csmingwlibs package that you installed either isn\'t correctly installed, or maybe is the wrong version?  Or, maybe I\'m delusional and it doesn\'t have things like libjpeg in it at all.

Another place to go for help is the crystal-main mailinglist (crystal-main at sourceforge.net), you can sign up through the sourceforge page.

i read somewhere on another forum that the dlls i was looking for could be named diffrently, so they were included but under another name...

Now no more dlls are required but i get a windows message:

(Translated from dutch)CS Standard Application: walktest.exe - Application erro The instruction op 0x657ae092 points to memory on 0x000000000. \'Read\' on the memory failed.

OK to end the program
Cancel to trace errrors in the program

I have had the same error with other applications as well (including planeshift)
I think i understan what is means (a segmentation fault), but i have no idea why these errors occur.

(i have 512 mb ram, a p4@2.8Ghz and Gforce4MX 440, ...)

[dfryer]

Can you provide a backtrace?

Also, I\'m assuming you\'re using current CVS versions of planeshift, CS and CEL?

Thanks,
Daniel

Yep, I use the CVS versions.

Now the walktest.exe quits after loading (i can see a dos-window but it dissapears before i can read it)

Then i ran another ot these CS programs (tbtut.exe) an the i had another segmentation fault, here\'s the backtrace (I hope this is what you mean)

I\'m trying to compile CS again (with MSVC6). There were many unincluded files, but i found them all after a while. But now there are some undeclared identifiers:

Compiling...

[EDIT] i deleted the project, just as the other  projects that give errors, but when grall_newrenderer is built walktest crashes.

Here\'s another warning, sprcal3d seemed me important

(I have the same problems when I try to build grall_typical.)
