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.

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

Any idea, why?

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

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.

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...

Yeah, emptyset is down, and I never got an answer from div about the presence of the file on rm (the new server)

I made a new more advanced version of this (With patching support and etc). I'll release it when I have time.

How can I get 2.5.3 with this script? I only get 2.5.2.

ArgeadGER wrote:How can I get 2.5.3 with this script? I only get 2.5.2.

Well, really you get neither.. You get SVN Nexuiz, which is simply the latest development version. It's not 2.5.2, and it's not 2.5.3. Either way, run the script often to stay up with development

What's the setting controlling the "Testing only" stamp?

I think it was in the console, enter

Code: Select all

showbrand 0

To permanently remove the "testing only", add the line to your autoexec.cfg.

Thanks, that did the trick.

ok i did build.bat but the files to play it are still dontrun do i need ti change the file extension to bat

at the very end of that terminal like thing it says rm -f and it say errer or error i cant remember error make: *** [clean] error im on windows vista

Depending in which folder you put the svn, running the bat as an admin could help.

ok i put the nexuiz svn build system folder in the program files (x86) and ran the build.bat not as admin and i got this error at the end

Are the SVNs still gonna be updated, or is it dead until it goes on with this new Xonotic?

SVN is dead forever.

Xonotic will be developped on GIT.
