How to build strgen

[MadEgg]

How can I build strgen on Linux? Does it compile at all anyway? I tried to do it manually but I get this error:

Code: Select all

I now tried to build it using Visual C++ 6.0 on Windows, which went fine. I now got a strgen.exe but when I run it it complains about not being able to open strings.h.
It is actually in the same directory as the strgen.exe but isn't it supposed to be compiled into the executable anyway?

Or is there any place I can get a prebuild strgen.exe which I can use to compile the translation of english.txt into some .lng file?

strgen looks in the table subdirectory for strings.h

Code: Select all

parse_strings_h("table/strings.h", NULL);

So unless you move strgen.exe 1 directory up to main so that strings.h is in the table subdirectory, or modify strgen.cpp file to look for strings.h somewhere else, it won't run.

Of course you can run strgen.exe from the main openttd directory like this so that current directory is main openttd:

Code: Select all

strgen\Release\strgen.exe

Full:

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Desktop\openttd-0.1>strgen\Release\strgen.exe

Good luck

And on Linux it's unusuable?

I have no idea. He tried to compile it under Linux, and failed. Then he tried it under windows, so I helped him on the way. I've got no idea about linux

Ok, thanks. That works.

I found out it is also hardcoded to an inputfile and an output file(english.txt and english.lng). Anyway, I got it to work, so great.

I'll try to get some command line arguments in to make it a bit more flexible

Why don't people read my posts?

[MadEgg]

I didn't read it cuz it was about VC and I don't want to use that
Anyway, thanks for pointing me to the code snippet, works fine.
