compiling love .7 on windows

[tharkas]

Has anyone managed to compile 0.7 release with VC 2008? I'm getting lots of errors.

Are you missing libraries?
I guess you can't run ./configure...

Yeah, I got it to compile with a bit of help.
After you get the dependencies you are pretty much done though.
And what do you know, here are the dependencies:

Thank you very much. I'll try to compile it again with these.

I'm getting various errors when I try to compile. I decided I want to try to compile "common" first

here's the error I'm getting

Code: Select all

1>c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\love-35c1ee3a978f\love\src\common\runtime.cpp(33) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'SDL_mutex.h': No such file or directory

there *is* a 'SDL_mutex.h' file included in the "include" directory under SDL folder. Any tips?

Don't use microsoft compilers?*

The way it was pointed out to me was: Just build "love".

As in, right click on the solution, go to configuration and tell everything to not build except the love project.

And in my case, love.exe was building even though those errors were spitting out because those errors were for the other projects (audio, sound, image, etc.). Check your Release folder, it might already be there.

Yeah, you probably need to set the include folders for every single module if you want to built them separately.

Thank you very much! That solved my problem. I was trying to build the whole solution. Just clicked on love and it build flawlessly. I updated to VC 2008 to SP1, maybe that helped too, couldn't be sure.
