I am having problems

[Dunken]

i am trying to compile crystal space with cygwin but it wont work somone please tell me how to compile it

[sunshine]

It would be a good idea to provide more information about precisely what doesn't work.

[Dunken]

sure thing i type ./configure after cd ing my dirrectory and i get this

Owner@UPSTAIRS /c/cs
$ ./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.


then nothing else works

[Dunken]

oh and i used Cygwin

[muffinpeddler]

you need to install gcc and g++ in cygwin.  Run the cygwin setup exe again so you can chose the packages...

[Dunken]

well that solved the configure problems

but when i put the

 make -k all

command it says


bash: make: command not found

i suppose i need to install somthing else so would somone tell me what to install or what else to do

Thank you

[sunshine]

You would want to install 'make'. Also be sure that you installed cs-win32libs. Note that you can probably get results more simply by using Mingw+Msys as documented in the CS manual. Mingw+Msys is well-supported by CS, and it's typically simpler to install Mingw+Msys than Cygwin.

now it knows make but i get the message

$ make -k all
make: *** No rule to make target 'all'.

[sunshine]

This could happen if the configure script didn't run correctly. For instance, if it reported that it was unable to set up the 'make emulation layer', you would experience this problem.

[Dunken]

well i cot it complied i installed everything of the 500 mb cygwin and it worked but when i try to run anything i complied i get the message


This application has failed to start because cygwin1.dll was not forund. Re-installing the application may fix this problem

and all applications i complied get the same message

Please help me

[sunshine]

Make sure that your PATH mentions the directory containing cygwin1.dll, which is distributed with Cygwin. Alternately, copy cygwin1.dll into some directory mentioned by your PATH.

I am having more problems now when i try to start crystal space it makes a microsecond flash of some message the ends the program. all i realy see is

"Missing 3d graphics pluging"

where do you get the 3d graphics plugin?

[sunshine]

The 3D renderer plugin should be built as part of the compile process. If you are lacking the OpenGL developer headers/libraries, then the OpenGL renderer may not have been built. (You will need to see the output of configure to find out if the OpenGL check failed.) At any rate, the software renderer should have built. You can tell programs to instead use the software renderer by using the command-line argument --video=software when you run each program.

You may be able to get more useful output if you build in debug mode, or if you use the --console switch when running the programs. Another useful option is --verbose, though it tends to spit out quite a bit of information. You could try --verbose=scf to limit it being verbose only about SCF.

[Dunken]

Well i tried all of that and still receved th same message. the verbose gave me a bunbch of lines of crud then quit

[sunshine]

You'll need to look at the output of --verbose to see where CS was looking and to find out which plugins it actually found.
