"Nexuiz SVN Builds for Noobs" - MINGW simplified

[Shoe]

It's building itself beautifully now, thanks div! I had tried yesterday to track down alternative sh.exe but had trouble finding ones that would work with your build system (cygwin's acted really weird, for example).

edit: Spotted a bug but it's an easy fix. If you just extract the build folder exactly, something (I think make) chokes because of the spaces, though renaming it to something without spaces lets everything compile correctly. e.g. I had extracted it to e:\Nexuiz SVN Compiler but the batch file died with an error "e:\Nexuiz is not a valid command"

This could only be filesystem specific though since no one else seems to have had trouble with it and the partition I'm running it on is ext2, not ntfs or fat32

[divVerent]

Ah, that's why. Why are you doing this on ext2?

And can you verify this:

Make a directory "e:\foo bar baz" on your ext2.

Then, on a "cmd" command prompt, type:

for %f in ("e:\foo bar baz") do echo %~sf

What does it show? Does it have spaces in it?

If you do this on VFAT or NTFS, it'll print the name shortened to 8 characters, and without spaces... and as make can't deal with path names with spaces, switching to these short file names is the first thing my script does.

So maybe this, i.e. not supporting short file names, is a bug in the ext2 file system driver you are using.

[Shoe]

It prints the whole thing with spaces, so that must be it.

The ext2 partition I use is my video/audio storage partition that I share between Windows and Linux - I used to use fat32 for it, but that's just so outdated (I had issues with a 6gb iso before on it) that I decided to use something a little more modern. So yeah... not probably a big problem, most likely anyone running into this problem would be able to catch that the spaces in the directory name make it fail to compile.

[divVerent]

Right, and anyone on VFAT or NTFS is unaffected.

Tnx div for this simple instructions to make a svn build.

First thing:

1. Make sure you have about 2.5GB free space

More precisely the size is 2.26 GB, but using NTFS compression it is reduced to 1.74 GB. I had just 2.5 GB free and i was worrying if I couldnt build it. Add this info if u want to the instructions.

Second thing and most important:
I've implemented a system to use more colors for text as i described here http://alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=46323#46323
I still don't believe I did it!
Not so complicated however, but I thought I had very few possibilities so now I'm very happy!

[divVerent]

Well, on my system it was 2.26GB too, but I rounded up a little to make sure it'll stay working with that amount.

Hi,

My build.bat doesn't know find the server svn.icculus.org anymore and aborts its job then. Now the file suffixes from the run-wgl and run-sdl changed to .dontrun.

May I ask what happened?

[Alien]

Your dns server cache might got corrupted.

[Urmel]

too easy

Well that worked

ty very much

Me again. Today I've got another error message.

I don't really have an idea what this message wants to tell me. But it seems to be a different Problem now. Anybody help me out?

Any coherence to the fact that I changed from a Geforce to a Radeon today?
