Rebuild modules.

You need to install and configure MinGW first, though.

You need to build modules from the IDE (Program ==> Build Modules) and then import it into your source code using as BlitzMax doesn't automatically include non official mods...

Import SaS.ModuleName/

Obviously, replace ModuleName with module you want, i.e. SaS.BitmapFont or SaS.Tilemaps.

Hope this helps,

Seb

thats another thing, the "build modules option" has always been blanked for me too.

on pressing ctrl+d i still get..
"Build Error: failed to compile F:/APPS/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/blitz.mod/blitz_app.c"

Edit> erm just followed up on that minigw thingy, ignore me ;)

Yep, it is until MinGW is installed and set up correctly.
