Problem updating MaxGui with svn

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Module Tweaks/Problem updating MaxGui with svn

When using svn update c:\blitzmax\mod\maxgui.mod, I recieve this error svn: Failed to add directory 'C:\blitzmax\mod\maxgui.mod\fltkmaxgui.mod': object of the same name already exists I ignored it since fltkmaxgui is part of linux and this is on Vista Home Premium. But after building the modules and then trying to build the documentation, I get this error Building: MaxGUI.Drivers Error: Unable to resolve link 'MaxGUI.FLTKMaxGUI'

Yeah, just delete the maxgui.mod\fltkmaxgui.mod directory manually (i.e. in Windows Explorer) and then run SVN update again. You should then be able to build modules/docs without any problems.

I encountered this too, and wondered why it happened... Oh well, deleting the stuff and running SVN did work for me to, so why bother. (glad to know I wasn't the only one to encounter this).

It's because whomever committed changes to subversion messed up the original folder structure - perhaps they deleted the hidden .svn folders, rather than modify things *through* subversion - in which case the changes would have been applied properly. An easy mistake to make if you are new to subversion :-)
