Compileing

[jorrit]

ok to compile to a seprate directory as a External Application
First type
cd /c/CS
then type
scripts/jamtemplate.sh
(where can I tell it where to place the compiled program?)

That doesn't make a compiled program. That script justs sets up a project so that you can compile programs. So after running createproject.sh you need to run configure and jam to build the program. Only then do you get an executable.

Ok now I'm getting somewhere, thx I'll try all thoes commands in that order.

Ok I typed cd/c/CS then scripts/jamtemplate.sh and it said the file did not exsist.  So I tried createproject.sh and that doesn't exist, so I tried /scripts/createproject.sh and it doesn't exist either.


(If I can get to building a small game and complete a small game I will Build an entire manual on how to build a small game for you, I know how to work with webapges (html) so if you can help me compile and build a small game along with the manual already created I will build an entire manual from start to finish on how to build a small game, how to compile and everything.)

You have to read what I said. There is a script called 'createproject.sh' in '/scripts/jamtemplate'. So what you need to type in msys is:

./scripts/jamtemplate/createproject.sh

Btw, this process is documented in the manual (the howto on how to make your own project).

ok because I was looking in the title named Creating an External Crystal Space Application because my find (ctrl + F) didn?t see a "How to make your own project"

(it still did explain the directory though)

I got to the end of the page and it says that the jamtemplate.sh takes advantage of the jam command so after I ran it and saw it only made a few files (c++ and others in a new folder I attempted to run the file named jamfile, it said it wasn't correct, and the jam command would not compile it either. (I was in the test game subdirectory of CS)

Did you ./configure?

Ok, I have no backround in compiling so I just need it layed out straight, I got through some main compiling at the beginning now I'm trying to make a exe
I went
cd /c/CS
./configure
./scripts/jamtemplate/createproject.sh

it made a folder called hi
I went there and when I did
cd /c/CS/hi
Jamfile.in

it did this

It's a little longer than a page but this is the end of what it gave me (there are only a few lines before this)

[jorrit]

Why are you trying to run Jamfile.in? That's not what the manual says. As the manual says you need to do:

./configure
jam

inside your 'hi' directory.

when I type ./configure it says
"Configure: no such file or directory"
when I reverse the slash it says command not found

(Thanks allot for helping me through this I must be reading off the wrong compiling page but this looks like the last step, thanks )

[jorrit]

You need autoconf/automake packages together with mingw. Those are seperate installs from www.mingw.org. I forgot to tell you about those. After installing those you should be able to run ./autogen.sh right before ./configure to get started.

Well this is covered in the manual. Did you read that first?
