Compiling in Windows - Latest SVN - wolfgang - 07-25-2011

Dear All!

I am new to Vdrift and had some problems to compile the latest Version on Windows.
So is there anyone, from which I can get the compiled Windows Vdrift Files from the latest version?

Would be great?!

Or do you have a real dummy guide for compiling? I checked already the Wiki, but did not help without knowledge.

Greetings,
Wolfgang

Hi!

now I try to compoile Vdrift with codeblocks or with the bat file with windows.

with the bat file I get...

Code:
C:\Vdrift\Source\git\tools\win\bin>build_vdrift.bat

--VDrift Windows compilation script--

Make sure you're running this from your VDrift folder, like so:

tools\win\bin\build_vdrift.bat

include\definitions.h not found. Generating include\definitions.h

And with Codeblocks I get...

Code:

OK. Found the problem.

I had to download Bullet and copy the Bullet SRC folder to the vdrift/scr/include directory.

Now compiling with codeblocks is working until....

Code:
Compiling: ..\..\src\window.cpp

Linking console executable: ..\..\vdriftd.exe

c:/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lbulletd

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Process terminated with status 1 (6 minutes, 43 seconds)

1 errors, 4 warnings

Yeah, the wiki needs to be updated. See vdrift\tools\win\readme.txt for instructions.

Quote:c:/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lbulletd

Open vdrift.workspace and build. It makes sure that bullet is compiled first. I'll upload a recent build to sourceforge.

Dear NaN!

Thanks for your help.
Now compiling is working.
But I get 25 warnings.

Can you give me the link of your uploaded recently compiled windows version?
Would be fine.

Thanks a lot.

Greetings,
Wolfgang

The warnings are OK. We are compiling with -Wall.

New build:

Updated few minutes ago, latest src from git and vdrift-win folder; tried to do:
premake4 codeblocks
got:
Error: invalid option 'force_feedback'

Is that normal?

- NaN - 08-15-2012

Yes, have been too lazy to add an extra check. Just delete the old vdrift.cfg.

Alternatively, if you are using tortoisegit you can run "Clean up", disable "Remove untracked directories" to keep data and vdrift-win, rerun premake.
