Win 7 and Building Modules?
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Win 7 and Building Modules?
| ||
| I've installed MinGW but the Build Modules option in BMax is grayed out. Anyone know how to get this working or what triggers that option to become available? |
| ||
| Will mingw 5.1.6 work? |
| ||
| Also, I think it's time for an official Win 7 MinGW install guide because all the ones I've found off-site aren't working... |
| ||
| Adding a "MINGW" env variable with "c:\mingw" fixed it. That's not stated anywhere in Ziggy's guide. Just pointing it out... And 5.1.6 is working fine. |
| ||
| Ziggy's guide is assuming you are using Blide.... The system variable is always needed when this is not the case. |
| ||
| Right...was having a hard time finding a non-blide installation guide. Just saying it'd be nice to have an official one stickied for each Windows OS just because so many people are building their own modules etc. |

| Ziggy's guide is assuming you are using Blide.... The system variable is always needed when this is not the case. That's not true, you haven't read the guide. It has a complete list of steps with a tittle that reads 'For non BLIde users', and it states all steps involed in vista, XP and Win7. Right...was having a hard time finding a non-blide installation guide Well... you could read mine. Here's the link in case anyone needs it: http://blide.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=56&p=676 |

| There should be a guide here on this site IMHO though. I know the forums have a search feature but it's such an important aspect of blitzmax that it should be a bit...easier to find and whatnot. |

| There should be a guide here on this site IMHO though Agree. How to get MinGW to play nice, is an issue which crops up time and time again. Its a royal ballache installing MinGW and finding a guide on how to get it to work with Blitzmax. Ziggy's one is great, once you've found it. Some are not so great and others are just flat out wrong/incomplete.A stickytopic on the issue would at least take some of the stress out of it. |
