I am now trying to run simpmap.   It works for a while but then crashes with many warnings about unreleased instances and 4285 objects leaked.   I know what it means, but don't know how to cure it.  Can anyone help, please?

OK its working now!   I think all I had to do was reboot the PC.

Its fun being a beginner!

Thanks, Res.   I've done as you suggest and now get a different set of errors!

i)   The command window tells me that the plugin crystalspace.kernel.vfs could not be loaded  (I  can't find this in any of my folders)

ii)    Failed to initialize config!   I've double checked the CRYSTAL environment setting, which is correct.

What's wrong now?

OK!   I've now discovered that I have to add CS_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to the preprocessor definitions.   I've done that and walktest now compiles.   But, when I run it, I get an error message "This application has failed to start because crystalspace-1.4-vc9_d.dll was not found.   Re-installing the application may fix the problem".   crystalspace-1.4-vc9_d.dll is located in two place; in my CS folder and in the out\debu9\bin folder.   So, where is walktest trying to find this file?

I have succesfuly run wkstypical and am now trying to run walktest.   I have set up a new project and imported the .h and .cpp files from the walktest folder.   When I try to build the program I get error messages; the log file is attached.   What am I missing?

Thanks, Res.   You're right, I tried to install cs-win32libs in my CS folder.

I've reinstalled to a different location and now all working fine.

Many thanks for sorting out my problem

I have downloaded CS 1.4 (via Subversion), CEL 1.4 and cs-win32libs-1.4_002, which I have installed.
I have downloaded zlib and unpacked it into my CS\Libs folder.   I cannot find the zlib.lib file.

I have set the environment variables and the VC++ directories, but there is no out\release9\libs folder in the download, nor can I find the libcrystalspace_d.lib and libcrystalspace.lib files.

When I try to build wkstypical I get an error message telling me zlib.lib cannot be found and a load of other error messages, a sample of which is attached.

I have spent several frustrating hours unsuccessfully trying to build the program and would be glad of some help.

Thanks for this Res.   I've downloaded cs32-winlibs-1.4 and installed it.   I still cannot build wkstypical.   I will continue this as a new topic on the support forum.

I have just tried to post a message on the support forum.   It was returned by the sytem to say I was using an .html attachment, which is not allowed.   I changed it to a .txt file and tried to re-post it, but I was told I had already posted it.   I've now lost all trace of it!   What have I done wrong and how do I retrieve my post?

Many thanks, Res.

I've downloaded CS 1.4, but I cannot get it to compile.   I now have a new list of errors (this is just a selection):

How do I correct these errors?

Njoc, thanks for the enlightenment!   I've reset the env var, recreated the application and it works.

Many thanks for your time and your support.

Best wishes

Dutch

I'm not sure I know what I'm looking for!

I downloaded the file crystalspace-src-1.2.1.zip which I unzipped into my folder CrystalSpace, where it appeard as a sub-folder CrystalSpace-src-1.2.1.   I compiled wkstypical.sln from ...\mk\msvc71 with Microsoft Visual.NET 2003, but as far as I can see there is no crystalspace executable.   Normally with .NET an executable would be saved in (in this case) a debug folder, but this hasn't happened.   However, CrystalSpace must have compiled OK because walktest works.   But this doesn't help me find the address for the environment variable.

Any enlightenment would be welcome.

Best wishes

Dutch

Thanks Njoc for your support.

Yes, I have set the CRYSTAL environment variable, but perhaps it shouldn't point to Blender2Crystal\pycelstart7.8\cs?

Best wishes

Dutch

After unzipping CS did you unzip the included .zip files?   If so, try pasting the unzipped .zip files in the folder you use to initiate walktest.

Hope that helps

Dutch (another newbie!)
