Using Crystalspace with Game Maker.

[Linera]

What about including all of the dlls? so who ever uses the engine can use it all?

Also how do you include a dll into another dll?

Including a dll is just a matter of loading it dynamically. In CS this is very easy. There are function calls to load plugins (dll == plugin). Including all the dll's is of course possible.

well i've read the section of the manual talking about building it and still am confused.

What is the confusion about? I mean what exactly is the problem?

I can't find a workspace file so i can open it in C++

I found the workspace file but compile was disable to i tried the command build exe and this is what i got.
I noticed that the file zlib.h is missing and is not in any folder in CS.

This page talks about how to make a dll for game maker.

http://forums.gamemaker.nl/index.php?showtopic=126717&view=findpost&p=1055626

 can someone help me out and make CS for Game Maker?

[jorrit]

You are not reading the manual of CS. If you read the manual of CS you will find instructions on how to build/compile Crystal Space. More specifically it appears that you didn't install the winlibs package (for zlib and such).

Greetings,

[Linera]

i installed those and still get the errors.

[jorrit]

i installed those and still get the errors.

What exactly did you install? I need details. I can't see your computer from here. So can you tell me which version of CS you are using and which version of the winlibs package?

Greetings,

[Linera]

CS version = cs98_004
CrystalSpaceLibs is Installed

[jorrit]

CS version = cs98_004
CrystalSpaceLibs is Installed

Yes but which version of CrystalSpaceLibs! I need the version number or filename.

Greetings,

[Linera]

version = 0.99r0_018

[jorrit]

version = 0.99r0_018

Well that's wrong. That's the version for 0.99. You need to download the winlibs version for 0.98. Check the download page for which version it is that you need.

[Linera]

i reinstall the other version for my CS and got this error when i tried to compile it.

Code:

--------------------Configuration: app3ds2lev - Win32 Release--------------------
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "zlib.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

grpall_typical.lib - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

and when i used the rebuild command i get the same errors from before saying zlib.h doesn't exist

Well double check everything. Make sure you remove the old version first and do all installation steps again. It sure works because many people have been doing this. But again, I can't see your computer so it is hard for me to guess what is wrong.
