The short and sweet guide to compiling SVN 895 on Windows

[n.o.s.brain]

hmm, ok, ill search around.
but when i did svn 1044, i did backport it with the 1044backport patch, and i only applied one patch, and there were no errors watsoever, in patching and compiling.... i guess i should stop obsessing over it.... lol

EDIT: wooo, it worked! i found the sdl.dll here and it worked, but just as well as the binary i already have..... the new graphics phailed...

Ok i got tortiosesvn and cygwin.

I got it to start the make process.
It goes through it,
$ make
make -C
yadda yadda
errors like these
operating system not supported(im on windows XP)
architecture not supported(what does this mean?)
ID_INLINE not defined
PATH_SEP not defined
DLL_EXT not defined
endianness not defined
PATH_SEP undeclared

then at the end

make: *** [tools] error 2

how do i fix these?

a tremulous executable built with cygwin is almost useless.

What do you need to do differentially to make an usable executable that you can play using?

The newest svn from tremulous use Protocol 70.
Why the developer don't use this svn to make for us Tremulous 1.2.
This is Tremulous 1.2.

9.) Download the latest Tremulous SVN code by opening a console, cd'ing to your MinGW home folder ('cd C:\MinGW\home\User'), and typing the SVN command:
svn co -r 895 svn://svn.icculus.org/tremulous/trunk Tremulous
(if you feel confident, you can remove the '-r 895' part to download the latest SVN, but safety is not guaranteed)

When you say console I assume you mean msys.bat problem is...when I open it...it closes immediantly.

EDIT: Problem solved cmd prompt :]

EDIT EDIT:

3.) Run make ('make' NOT 'mingw32-make' which doesn't work for some reason...)

I ran make in cmd prmpt (Bin/Make.exe) and it comes with the error:
"AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x715B0000, RegionSize 0x150000, State 0x10000
"make.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 6"

[kevlarman]

cygwin won't produce a useful windows executable, you need mingw/msys

[Ghosthree3]

Wow that's scary because I just noticed yea it said cygwin in the error...but I don't use cygwin I have Msys and MinGW

[CreeDo]

Is it possible to upload a compiled file o.O

I mean its so complicated to compile

I need some help on the Neros crazy mod for my server but cant compile.

[nismo@nis.de]

If I run the tremulous.x86, I only see this on my screen:

9.) Download the latest Tremulous SVN code by opening a console, cd'ing to your MinGW home folder ('cd C:\MinGW\home\User'), and typing the SVN command:
svn co -r 895 svn://svn.icculus.org/tremulous/trunk Tremulous
(if you feel confident, you can remove the '-r 895' part to download the latest SVN, but safety is not guaranteed)

Isn't it spsed to be C:\msys\home\User ?
For some reason using 'svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/tremulous/trunk Tremulous' worked only once for me, now I get 'svn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file 
EDIT: nvm, it's cuz windows sux, a restart fixt it.
But how can I get lakitu's svn/whatever? EDIT: already got that too...

quick question, is it possible to keep the sdl and curl stuff client side? like in tjw's backport you are not required to have the sdl.dll to run trem, but when my friend compiles it he has to have either of those for it to work :\ anyway to stop that?

ioq3 has replaced the directinput and directsound code with sdl, no way around it other than using older clients.

any ideas?

[David]

Permission denied

Get permission.  Where are you trying to write to?  Either you need to be root or you borked your permissions or your doing something stupid.

//edit TY risijuin for ur leetness of a guide.

it was a problem with windows vista, and its really un-needed crappy security system that can be easily overrided.

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/coreutils-5.97-MSYS-1.0.11-snapshot.tar.bz2

fixed my problems.

just untar and replaces the bin folder.

I've been trying to compile the tremulous client on windows with mingw and after it finishes i run tremulous.x86.exe and the console opens but it is blank and displays only three characters on the first line and after a few seconds it crashes. can anyone help?

[Lava Croft]

Post your error, since nobody can help you like this.

It looks like this:

If I have to apply a patch, can you explain.


Also thanks for this.  I really want to get involved on some level.

first you run it from the tremulous install folder, it won't run from the folder you built it in, second you post the actual error that causes problems, not the non-fatal error.

edit: I got it to work.


Now what, can I start modifying things?

i followed it with r895, make had no errors

i copied the result on top of the 1.1.0 release, deleted vms-1.1.0.pk3 to resolve a conflict
(all files and folders from
C:\msys\1.0\home\user\Tremulous\build\release-mingw32-x86
to
C:\Program Files\Tremulous
)


tried to create a server from the in game gui, got the following error,
i successfully started a server with
tremulous.x86.exe" +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg
when i tried to connect to it i got the same error

edit: 5 days later i have my solution:
+set sv_pure 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0

The SVN people now use MSI installers, so the file you want to download will be named something like: Setup-Subversion-1.5.2.en-us.msi
The exe files mentioned in the OP no longer exist.

When I open msys.bat, it opens about 129 empty frozen windows, then they all close - nothing happens (vista 64bit). Help?

EDIT: Never Mind (not interested in modding anything anymore because of the sheer difficulty) but someone answer this anyway if possible in case someone else needs it.

[Spectre]

I have the same problem. Vista ultimate 64bit, I even tried to run in windows XP Compatible mode - didn't help. But if I run under administrator, console output is:

Code Select Expand

Cannot find the rxvt.exe or sh.exe binary -- aborting.
So I don't understand what to do now...

[danmal]

Please note that this thread fixes the problem with Windows Vista 64bit. Perhaps an update is needed to the main post?

[danmal]

Please also note that this thread fixes another problem with windows vista 64 bit.
