Compiling issue

[namiz]

Im really confused...

I tried using Msys to compile but i keep on getting this stupid error message saying that there is no such destination..

I dont have Microsoft Visual, so i was wondering if there was any other way to compile it.

Thanks,
Nate

Can you be a bit more specific and copy paste the exact error here? Also the commands you are doing.

Ok in the tutorial, heres the link
http://crystalspace3d.org/docs/online/manual/cs_2.4.4.php#2.4.4

"At the shell prompt, go to your `CS' directory with the `cd' command. For example, if Crystal Space resides at `C:\work\CS', invoke the command `cd /c/work/CS'. Next, configure and build the project with the following sequence of commands: "

I type cd C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\crystal\CS

and it says the following:

sh: cd: C:Documents: No such file or directory

[jorrit]

Well you are not doing what the manual says. The manual says:
'if Crystal Space resides at `C:\work\CS', invoke the command `cd /c/work/CS'.

So you should not type:

cd C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\crystal\CS

But you should type:

cd /c/Documents and Settings/Owner/Desktop/crystal/CS

i.e. you must use the msys syntax for paths.

In general it is probably also a good idea to avoid spaces in paths. Not sure if that can cause problems but I wouldn't be surprised.

Just put quotes around paths with spaces.

Just put quotes around paths with spaces.

I don't really understand where i should put the quotes. Could you please clarify that.

Thanks,

EDIT: I just moved my crystal folder to C: and it seems to be working correctly hehe...

I have another error. I entered the following commands:

./configure
make -k all

and I recieved this error message:

$ ./configure make -k all
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: error: unrecognized option: -k
Try `./configure --help' for more information.

Thanks,

[jorrit]

You should put them as seperate commands. i.e. first type ./configure and wait until that finishes.

By just typing in ./configure i recieve the following error message:

$ ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.


I think its aking for a C compiler so how would i do this?

Your MingW and MSYS install is wrong it seems. Check that you did that ok. i.e. you must first install mingw and then  msys.

Yes, i haven't installed MingW. You guys are so helpful.

Uh im confused again... i typed in ./configure and then stuff happened. Then i type make -k all and stff happened, and the last thing that happened was this:

  "\0"
}
__EOF__

I know its not an error message, but what do i know now?

[jorrit]

Hmm... I see no error message there. Why do you think it is an error?

Anyway perhaps you should try 'jam' instead of 'make'. It is better supported. Just type 'jam' instead of 'make -k all'.

No i know it not an error message but that was the last thing that hppened then it just stopped and returned to the:

Owner@YOUR-4E0903614A /c/crystal/CS
$

I was wondering what do i do after the
 ./configure make -k all


EDIT: Okay, I used jam instead now what?

[jorrit]

Well if it is not an error then CS is compiled and you should be able to use it. i.e. run a few apps like isotest.exe and walktest.exe and see if they work.
