"Nexuiz SVN Builds for Noobs" - MINGW simplified

[divVerent]

It's unsafe with many makefiles that use .d files.

However, in case of FreeBSD ports, it should be safe, as .d files are not needed there. They're only for compiling after updating a source tree with still lying around .o files.

If you always do make clean before make, -j is also always safe.

Basically, if you're using -j, you may get weird errors when working in a non-clean source tree. make clean before recompiling again, to see if that makes the problem go away then.

Interesting. Thanks for the input divVerent.

Now I think this build system should have a "make clean" instance for ftqecc and DarkPlaces, as users of this pack shouldn't be concerned about compilation times. Probably they will be rebuilding once or twice a day. This way we can get rid of further "make clean" heads ups.

[divVerent]

Just why? It's, normally, faster to NOT do make clean than to do weird -j optimizing with make clean, unless it's a one-shot compile.

When I download the Nexuiz SVN Build System.zip from the first post and run the build.bat, I get

Code: Select all

An error has occurred (see above).


Any idea, why?

(Yeah, I am running windows from time to time... )

[divVerent]

It's fixed in trunk, but it does not matter, as the current engine build would be crashing anyway.

I'll fix the build when the engine works again.

[halogene]

ok, thx for the info.

I like this new crosshair "help" when you aim next to the wall (the crosshair tells you if you hit the wall and yourself or not). Even I dont remember the command ...

What compiler(s) do you developer folks use for working on Nexuiz' C and QC code? And what other tools (a debugger?) do you use, or do you use an IDE?

(Not sure since the thread title says mingw but then later on folks talk about using GCC by default.)

mingw = gcc
qc code is compiled with fteqcc, c is compiled with any c/c++ compiler (afaik gcc/mingw is used for the builds)

Link doesn't give anything...
