Compiling newest build in windows with mingw/msys
![Post Post](./styles/qsilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hi I am trying to compile the lastest git revision to check it out and test it but I am having alot of problems following the wiki pages and compiling it. as for the wiki/trac article about compiling in windows goes the zlib link is no longer valid the host provider only seems to provide the latest release and not previous ones so I had to get a copy of the 1.2.5 from an alternative source as I am unsure if newer version would be 100% compatible. As far as compiling bullet 2.77 goes that's a no go either as on my computer (windows 7 x64) it fails near the end of compiling with alot of error messages (as did 2.78) but thankfully 2.79 compiled np as per instructions on wiki just hope it's 100% compatible with lips of suna. As for the bit at the bottom about installing lips of suna on the windows compiling guide I am unsure as to which version of lips of suna that is going to get I THINK it might be the last offical release of 0.50 but wasn't sure. As I wanted to check out the latest build I went to the http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lipsof ... /Compiling and got the git directions from there and had np setting that up and getting a clone from the database. As for the bit on the top of that page about dependancies I assume the other page http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lipsof ... gInWindows has already covered all that? The main problem that I can't seem to find a way around is with compiling the main lips of suna source code itself with the included waf. The problem is that everytime I try and use ./waf configure command it comes up build failed and alot of the things on the list come up not found. I realise that is normal for some things to come up not found but obviously something that is REQUIRED to be built is not being detected (path envioroment issue with waf?). I noticed that one thing it didn't find was bullet. now I did not manage to get 2.77 as previously mensioned but using 2.79 version and the instructions on http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lipsof ... gInWindows in reguards to compiling bullet went through np with no errors so I am unsure as to why waf isn't detecting it among possible other things. I know a little bit about compiling source code and programming etc. but not a great deal and am unable to work out how to configure waf to find installed dependancies and compile successfully. Attached is a copy of the waf configuration log incase it is of any help in helping with troubleshooting the issue. Any help in this matter would be greatly appricated ty. Also sorry about the length of the post but thought it best to try and explain what I did as clearly as possible ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.png)
