Compiler Error - cannot find -lpsapi
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Compiler Error - cannot find -lpsapi
| ||
| This is what I get when I'm compiling the project. Any ideas? I've installed minGW, everything should work. Have anyone encountered with this error? |
| ||
| May I suggest a bit more information on what kind of error you're actually getting? And what platform you're running on? |
| ||
| You need installed minGW first then BlitzMax then rebuild it then do programming then run it and it work ok :-) |
| ||
| Window 8. I have MinGW installed, I've set paths and everything. |
| ||
| Have anyone encountered with this error? Yes, but usually it gives you more useful information too. (like the error message) |

| Oh it seems title doesn't like ":" and deleted half the title of this topic. utput: Building MainSource Compiling:getos.c Compiling:MainSource.bmx flat assembler version 1.69.14 (1907572 kilobytes memory) 10 passes, 0.9 seconds, 2541934 bytes.

| Which MinGW distro? I ran into the same issue recently when I was playing around with mingw-w64 and msys. Try TDM-GCC. |
| ||
| As usually I followed installation instructions and download links from here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=90964 I'm checking out TDM-GCC right now. Edit: Still have the same problem. |
| ||
| The standard BlitzMax requires you to have a bunch of lib files in BlitzMax/lib - but they are not all in there. You may need to copy extra ones you need from your MinGW distro (for example libpsapi.a). |
| ||
| It would be great that someone could help me to set it up. I know that bmax doesn't lack any files, because I have the same build on another computer with same files, and it's working. |
| ||
| Your error message indicates that you are trying to link to libpsapi. Well, libpsapi.a isn't in the BlitzMax/lib folder. If you want to use it with the standard BlitzMax, you will need to copy it from your MinGW distro into the BlitzMax/lib folder. This whole MinGW thing has always been one of BlitzMax's flakier things. (Which is why I built my own version of bmk and made it much easier to set up BlitzMax with MinGW - I suppose, since BlitzMax is now open source, we should try to get a package (with MinGW) built so that it becomes a no-brainer to use on Windows) |
