FBA Compiling Problems

MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe

 

thats the main MinGW installation that contains an older version of GCC. this is what most (if not all) of us have been using all along (until the current FBA version that is).

 

it doesnt contain everything else though (dx7, libpng, etc.) so youll have to set it up yourself

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ok, I just got that and set everything up. I got the dx7, libpng, and zlib from the FBA site. When I tried to compile it got farther this time but get some new errors. I followed the instructions but I'm definitely doing something wrong. I think I didn't install Perl properly, I don't know. Here's what it says now (it says a lot more stuff before this but it's mostly the same but for different.cpp files):

MinGW Q:\fbasrc>

[Weirdy]

don't worry about the warnings, I'd get those all the TYME

 

now this problem I'm familiar with, it has to do with perl

 

are you sure you put perl.exe in the bin folder? along with it's other executables?

[Gryph]

Hmm...as I suspected, PERL was the culprit because that's the only part of the set up where I was confused. I followed the instructions in the mingw.txt but it didn't say anything about putting the perl.exe in the mingw\bin folder. I don't think I even isntalled it properly. All I did was execute the install.bat file and it created nsperl.exe then I added q:\nsperl to the mingw.cmd.

[Weirdy]

nah, perl just has to be within the source instead of in its own private idaho sort of speak

[Gryph]

Ok, I followed Weird's instructions to install PERL and it's still not fully working. I get a new error now. After it generates all the files and shows all those warnings as seen before, it gave this error:

 

Sequence (?<...) not recognized at Q:\fbasrc\src\scripts\gamelist.pl line 23.

make: *** [src/generated/driverlist.h] Error 2

[Agozer]

See, this is why I never really try tp compile my own programs; way too many things that you most likely don't have and things that can still go wrong.

Edited January 22, 2005 by Agozer

[Gryph]

Yeah, but I want to advance my emulator horizons and start making my own builds. But it's the educational aspects that I like.

[Xeon]

ahahahaha!!! "fbasrc"

 

wonder how many of us actually use that name for the FBA source folder?

[Gryph]

ahahahaha!!! "fbasrc"

 

wonder how many of us actually use that name for the FBA source folder?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What's wrong with it? What's the name of your folder? I changed it from fba_0294894_src to that so it'd be easier to type. But more importantly, got any clue what that error is?

[Agozer]

Fucking Bastard Application Source.

 

Educational purposes is a good excuse, but it's too much trouble for me anyways.

go look for that file

 

I forgot, but I fixed a problem that had to do with the directory of...something

 

go check it out
