Hi all,

A quick search of the forums didn't give an answer so will post here (hopefully in right place )

Im trying to use BuildOTTD to compile a patch, but right from running the program i'm encountering errors, it's installed to C:\BuildOTTD and im on Windows XP Pro (32-bit) SP3

I run the program and i recieve the following errors one after the other...
When i add the correct directories under settings i get more problems as posted below...

EDIT:

Im sure this post has the answer... http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=725810#p725810

But i am unclear as to what to change

The following is how i've set up directories under settings...
I cannot compile anything when i add a patch as update and compile is greyed out, and i keep getting the last error in the post above, and it doesn't want to connect to the SVN repository even with my firewall off (i use PCTools btw, windows firewall is already disabled)

Any help would be great

Cheers

Jacob

Moderator, can you remove this thread

I'm going to try and compile using something else after reading the full BuildOTTD thread

Cheers

No need to delete it, just let it rest in the archives.

Also you can keep BuildOTTD installed and use its mingw/msys installation "manually"

Hi, rather than just start a new topic,

I'm still having problems compiling with BuildOTTD, having downloaded the latest version that fixes the svn issue from the BuildOTTD thread, i now go to compile the diesel_smoke_sz_3-0c_r16645.patch from the diesel smoke thread, after clicking update and compile, BuildOTTD obtains the latest SVN (16665 at time of writing), then brings up an output dialogue which simply reads out

"Checked out revision 16665"

There is no compiled build in the output folder

Using Msys manually also doesn't want to output a compiled version

There are no errors just "Checked out revision 16665"

Any ideas?

EDIT: Please find attached Output log when i tried to compile to 16658 (the last nightly)

well. That looks like a checkout. But no compilation is done which will produce the binary, e.g. you need to make it, not just checkout.

Try to invoke the compiler manually. Or rather do
./configure && make
in the msys environment (I'm not sure whether ./configure works there...)

Thanks for the help, i've identified a problem in trying to do that, i run msys.bat to enter the environment, the command window pops up for around half a second and closes again, so i cannot enter the system as normal. For some reason windows xp just closes it down as soon as the batch file is ran

Wander if this is why buildottd is not compiling?

I tried reinstalling buildottd (and msys) but it has had no effect
