"Nexuiz SVN Builds for Noobs" - MINGW simplified

[divVerent]

To make a svn build (newest development version, may be buggy, but your job is to find these bugs and report them), follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have about 2.5GB free space
2. Download http://rm.endoftheinternet.org/~nexuiz/ ... System.zip
3. Extract it to somewhere
4. Double click build.bat and wait one or two hours
5. Double click run-sdl.bat or run-wgl.bat to play

To update to latest svn:

1. Double click build.bat and wait some minutes
2. Double click run-sdl.bat or run-wgl.bat

It will go much faster, as most stuff won't need redownloading or recompiling.

Note that your config and dlcache will be saved in My Documents\My Games\nexuiz, and not in the nexuiz folder this script wrote. If you are not a developer, do not mess with these folders - there is no user editable .cfg or the like inside! Do your own stuff in My Documents\My Games\nexuiz instead! config.cfg for example will be in My Documents\My Games\nexuiz\data, and you'd also put your pk3s in that folder!

If anyone got it working, please post, as I'd like to know if it works on any other than my own machine now.

Last night I had actually started work on my own version of this... though I had only gotten the NSIS installer to work as I wanted (basically instead of trying to track down the different licenses and such I just had it download the SVN client, MiniGW and fteqcc and let them do their own installers, then do the install and start menu shortcuts).

Oh well, I just got beat to the punch I'm going to let it run now while I go to classes, I'll update when I get back if it works or not. Thanks for making this, div

edit: Hmm, got an error. Running on Vista Business 32-bit, I got a window that said "sh.exe has stopped working." It gave me these problem details:

Not at all, as I did not write this sh.exe. Can you try sh.exe, make.exe and rm.exe from other sources (e.g. gnu win32) and put them in unxutils/usr/local/bin?

[Urmel]

hi div, I managed to follow all the steps you told me and it worked like a charm.

The whole thing was done after about 30 minutes.

works fine on my windows XP x64

thanks a lot for this! I really appreciate this

[Dokujisan]

ahh, I gotta try this when I get some time later on.

This is cool

I am currently in the process of replacing the unxutils files by msys files, which should fix the issue on Vista.

Try redownloading, I am using MSYS's sh.exe now.
