Compiling CS MinGW

[Pavel Křupala]

Hi guyz,
I have MinGW 5.0.3(C:/MinGW), MSYS-1.0.10, cs-win32libs-1.0rc1_001.exe (C:/CrystalSpaceLibs), cs-pseudo-stable-2006-01-27.tgz (D:/Work/.../CS) and I'm running WinXP (Dev-Cpp (MinGW)) - everything installed like the HTML Doc said, but I got some troubles :)... (u wouldn't believe it can happen, would ya? =])

i started MSYS -> ./configure was succesfully finished, then i ran make -k all....

was goig quite well, but stopped with ERROR:

<here is list of the problematic part (at the end)>

<b>make: *** [all] Error 1</b>
Please can anyone help me with this? I was searching  the Forum last 24hours without break and trying to compile last 48hours.... Now going to bed try to rest for 3-4 hours... :)... Thank you guyz for your time.

You probably ought to be using the cs-win32libs version which was associated with the CS pseudo-stable package. The CS/docs/html/index.html documentation (section 2.3) should tell you which cs-win32libs version to download. Based upon the timestamps of the cs-win32libs versions, however, I would guess that it was probably one of these two:

http://www.crystalspace3d.org/downloads/cs-win32libs/cs-win32libs-0.99r0_018.exe

http://www.crystalspace3d.org/downloads/cs-win32libs/cs-win32libs-0.99r0_017.exe

Unfortunately, the build output you pasted does not include the actual error message, so it is difficult to diagnose the problem. The error message would probably have appeared in the output immediately before the output which you did paste.

Note that CS 1.0pre1 will be released today or tomorrow, so you might want to wait and try that package instead. It has a better chance of working with "modern" compilers and tools.

Finally, you will find that the Crystal Community Forum is far more active, and you are likely to get more timely help if you post problems there.
