need help trying to compile with Visual Studio

Post by quinnteh »

What exactly do these lines in sdl_config.h do?

/* Make sure that this isn't included by Visual C++ */
#ifdef _MSC_VER
#error You should copy include/SDL_config.h.default to include/SDL_config.h
#endif


Firstly, I don't understand what is meant by "#error You should copy include/SDL_config.h.default to include/SDL_config.h". Is there something I am supposed to be doing but didn't do?

Secondly, what is the reason to "Make sure that this isn't included by Visual C++"? How does that relate to the actual error message given?

Thanks.

So I gave up trying to use Visual Studio to do it and went back to MinGW.

As I said in the other thread there was a big load or problems with the dependencies, but after some risky manual configurations and file-renaming I finally got over that stage (as you can see below). Now, I am getting the same compile error as I had with Visual Studio:

Has anybody here ever seen this error message before??

The output above suggests that the VSC compiler is the one being used (not mingw). I ran into this when I tried VSC once too. You need to uninstall everything and remove the paths from the PATH environment variable, restart the comp, then run it again.

MinGW should not be giving you any errors related to VSC. If it doesn't, it wasn't uninstalled 100%.

(you're almost there, the fact that its finding sdl/gl etc now means you're one step away).

*note: I am the only windows release maintainer now (genixpro left for university) and I plan to continue to be one, so you dont need to keep posting in different threads and mailing lists (I'm the only one who uses windows and mingw to compile glob2 as far as I know)

I see... do you know how I can uninstall scons? I tried to run Removescons.exe but it says "This program is normally started by windows", and I can't find scons in my add/remove programs list.

Thanks

You should be able to remove the directory at C:\Python25\scons and the menu option (if any).

Found an alternative solution, to compile on my other computer and do everything else on my usual computer.

Thanks for your help.
