compiling wxmax
BlitzMax Forums/Brucey's Modules/compiling wxmax
| ||
when I used subversion it put all the folders in c:\program files\blitzmax\mod i tried building modules but nothing happened so then I placed all the folders and files (except wx.mod) into: c:\program files\blitzmax\mod\wx.mod and when I try to build modules the IDE crashes to desktop when I try using bmk.exe in the commandline (in windowsXP) it displays an error message but it disappears from the screen before I can read it. How do you make BMK.EXE error messages stay on the screen so you can read them? EDIT= oh never mind i used the commandline instead of tortoiseSVN and it worked! |
| ||
Have you started the command line with Start ->execute(the third from below; I use german xp) -> cmd -> enter? The the command line stays open and you can scroll. |
| ||
yes the commandline SVN worked for me after I rebuilt the modules I tried a sample program and got lots of linking errors: |
| ||
Based on what I've seen from linux, that could possibly out of date libs.. did you get the most recent wx libs from the google code page? (completely guessing :P) |
| ||
yeh and im using the latest version of blitzmax, i even updated blitzmax via SVN and tried it there but I also got the same errors |

Bottom of this page (Compilation Issues): http://code.google.com/p/wxmax/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions Generally those errors mean you are using a different version of MinGW. The libraries were compiled with MinGW 5.1.3 (which is the requirement for building with BlitzMax 1.28). The error itself is caused because of a difference with the linker used to build the libraries, and the one you are using now. Major versions of GCC have changed the locations where information is stored in the binaries, so a linker from one version of MinGW will expect the information to be somewhere else. Hence, the "multiple definition" errors. |

thanks! this will also help me compile minib3d |
| ||
hmm I think I already had 5.1.3 installed because it was released in january of 2007 I tried to compile an example program after updating MingW and it had the same errors |
| ||
hmm I just compiled miniB3d for first time ever after updating the Mingw thingy, ill try wxmax again |
