Beta Globulation 2 version for Windows?

Post by Autohost »

I see that on July 29 the new beta tree was 'released', but no one has updated the http://www.globulation2.org/wiki/Download_and_Install
page to list ANY compiled binaries for the beta.

That beta version was mainly source code releases for developers and general public that wanted to test. Windows releases were not working at the time I beleive.

That said, they are now. And with the recent release, a new 0.9.1 windows binary is available at http://globulation2.org/wiki/Download_and_Install

Please download and report any bugs you find ASAP.

Speaking of glob2 for Windows, is the mingw compilation instructions up-to-date? I followed it to the letter but when i reached this step:

To compile the latest code, run:
cd glob2_source
hg update -C tip


i get this:
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(which seemed suspicious)

then at the next step:
scons mingw=true

I get this error message :
sh: /bin/scons: No such file or directory

Can anybody tell me if I did anything wrong? Thanks

By the way, i did try copying the /bin folder into the glob2_source folder (from which I ran the scons mingw=true command) and that bin folder DID contain scons, but I still get the same problem.

i'm not on windows but to me it looks like you have no scons available. try addressing the scons binary with its full qualified path.

for the hg line you think produces suspicious output:
if you do a "hg clone" you get an exact copy of the repository with the files updated to tip. the hg update -C tip is redundant at this point i guess. you should only need it if you do hg update and get new changeset by that.
