It means that LordHavoc forgot to commit a file in svn. Just be patient, and try again tomorrow when he has committed the new header file.

svn up -r 8648
will revert the DP checkout back to a point were it still compiles. But i'm not sure if you can make the thing compile without an new checkout as i never looked at this windows build thingy

well, you CAN force a specific revision by editing the .bat file, and adding -r 8648 to the svn checkout line. But just wait until it's fixed.

Thanks for the fast reply my friends. I'll give it another try tomorrow :wink:

If you get a message about "cc" not being found, please redownload the package, and get the replace your build.bat with the new one. Alternatively, edit build.bat, and add a space and "CC=gcc" to the "make debug" line, so that it reads:

make debug DP_MAKE_TARGET=mingw SDL_PREFIX="../SDL" CC=gcc

This doesn't seems to be needed anymore, as they had set gcc as the default compiler. I've tested it here without this change and it works just fine.

I am on a quad-core system, and I think this build system is only using 1 core. I believe that with GNU make you can use the -j option (eg. -j 4 for quad-core) to use all 4 cores by doing 4 compile jobs at once. Is that possible with this build system?

thanks for the hint.

Yes, it does work. Reduces the compile time from 97 seconds to 46 seconds!

It's possible but not recommended, as it might cause make to read inconsistent .d files and thus handle dependencies wrong. Use that option at your own risk.

At least for rebuilding the FreeBSD ports collection that option is a must, and totally safe.

Is it unsafe on Windows platforms?
