Armagetron compiling in windows.

[Jip]

Yes, build every project one by one. Or you can build the workspace but you will get some errors then when it builds Armagetron before you run makedist.bat. Just build Armagetron again after you run it.
I also managed to compile 0.2.8 in windows with Code::Blocks 10.05
When I remember how, I will edit the wiki page and write an up to date howto.

[regedit]

Well, i built "libprotobuf" and got a bunch of errors. So i don't know if i have done something wrong.

Edit ..\armagetronad\src\defs.h and comment out line 122 and 125
The block should look like this:

Code: Select all

//#ifndef HAVE_ISBLANK
// this function does not seem to exist in windows and solaris 2.8
inline bool isblank(int x){ return ((x == ' ') || (x == '\t')); }
//#endif

That should no longer be required.
And after update_version.bat, you need to run protobuf.bat, too.

regedit: Dunno then. It works for me in that configuration.
And the best way to get the current sources is the launchpad source page: https://code.launchpad.net/armagetronad

0.2.8 differs from 0.4 a lot; you need the build_codeblocks branch, too, and you need to run makedist.bat before building the project, and the result is stored a level higher up in the directory tree.

It wont compile when I don't comment those lines out.

Oops, forgot that.

I experienced some bugs in the windows bzr client and you get the whole package (arma + winlibs) when using svn. But yea, under linux I use bzr and launchpad.

Is the for 0.2.8 or 0.4?

[Z-Man]

What I say there is for 0.2.8. 0.4 is as Jip describes.

Still can't get it to work.
Next time i have a chance i will see if i can record it, because most likely i am just making
a stupid mistake and forgetting to do something

Posting the steps you did and copy & paste the error messages helps a lot more than some video.

if I wanna compile just the dedicated server do I still need "Armagetron Advanced" or just "Dedicated"?

nvm I just tried it

How to compile 0.4 in Windows 7 with Code::Blocks 10.05

Before everything, get Code::Blocks 10.05 with included mingw.
I downloaded and installed codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe from http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26

1.
Make a svn checkout from

Code: Select all

https://armagetronad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/armagetronad/armagetronad/branches/0.4

2.
Edit ..\armagetronad\win32\python.bat and change line 7 to your installation location of python

3.
Edit ..\armagetronad\src\defs.h and comment out line 122 and 125
The block should look like this:

Code: Select all

//#ifndef HAVE_ISBLANK
// this function does not seem to exist in windows and solaris 2.8
inline bool isblank(int x){ return ((x == ' ') || (x == '\t')); }
//#endif

4.
Run ..\armagetronad\win32\update_version.bat

4.
Open ..\armagetronad\win32\code_blocks\ArmagetronAd.workspace in Code::Blocks
I only build the client so I closed the dedicated and master projects (right click -> close project).
Also I set the Build target to win32 release (saves you some time if you dont want to debug)

5.
Build everything in Workspace except "Armagetron Advanced".

6.
Run ..\armagetronad\win32\makedist.bat
Run ..\armagetronad\win32\protobuf.bat

7.
Build "Armagetron Advanced"

8.
You find the build in ..\armagetronad\build\dist\
You can run the .exe from there or generate an installer with the .nsi script.

This is how it worked for me with Revision 10352: /armagetronad/branches/0.4

Error at step 7.

[epsy]

Update both the armagetron tree(including winlins) and code blocks. That should be fixed. Revert the isblank edit though, I did not need it.

Resurrecting an old thread because I dont feel like making a new one.

I get this error every time I try to build 0.4 from the latest bzr source.
