string errors when compiling 0.2.x

[Korenn]

what has changed in 0.2.x in respect to the string table stuff?

ottd compiled perfectly ok with 0.1.x and I updated the source to 0.2 and I get 200+ errors saying the STR_XXXXXX_XXXXX stuff is undeclared.

I obviously need to include some new file but what is it?

[edit] I ran strgen and I copied the .lng file so that's not it.

strgen, when invoked with no parameters, generates table/strings.h which is the file you're missing and is also the reason for all those errors.

[Korenn]

ah yes I found the strings.h, but it was already included in the project.

all the strings in strings.h have the STR_number_XXXXXXX format, and those compile fine. (the strings.h was already in the 0.1.x too, and that compiles!)

I get errors like:

Code: Select all

D:\code\openttd\engine.c(45) : error C2065: 'STR_SV_EMPTY' : undeclared identifier
D:\code\openttd\players.c(278) : error C2065: 'STR_SV_UNNAMED' : undeclared identifier
D:\code\openttd\strings.c(66) : error C2065: 'STR_CURR_POUNDS' : undeclared identifier

those are not in strings.h

[Vurlix]

They are in mine, so you probably have an outdated english.txt.
Get the latest and run strgen again to get the new strings.h.

[Korenn]

ah that was it!

I had apparently forgotten to copy the new language .txt files

thanks
