Poschengband github

Pete Mack · November 17, 2016, 06:46

I see that the latest poschengband is 5.0.2, but when I patch up the non-funcrtional Makefile.win in the src directory using MINGW, code fetched from github, it compiles to 5.0.0.

So I can't load the 5.0.2 savefile from comp 197. Is the source up to date? What do I need to do to get it to work?

Compile it using MSVS, get the binary and replace the msvcr100.dll, or try to compile just using "make". All of the system-specific makefiles are broken afaik.

I don't have autoconf installed. I got the thing to compile without much difficulty (just fix the .res and .rc file, remove png and zip compression, remove win/ subdirectory. Basic stuff.
My trouble is that the github source is compiling to version number 5.0.0. How do I get it to compile to 5.0.2?? And no, I don't have MSVC on my little notebook.
Edit:
found it. It really looks like the problem is that github is not up to date. The version number in #defines.h shows VER_PATCH = 0, not 2 as it should be. This is a pain--downloading tar.gz files makes it a lot harder to maintain any local changes I might want to keep (like the working Makefile.win)

Welcome to the magical world of compiling PosChengband from source.
Glad you got it working though.
The issue with the versioning is curious though, I had no issue compiling as 5.0.2 on Ubuntu.

Oh I compiled it--that's easy, I've had plenty of practice fixing angband save files.
The trouble isn't that--it's that the github code is not actually up to date. It is 5.0.0 code. PosChengband is currently 5.0.2, as is the competition.
And trying to run a 5.0.2 savefile against 5.0.0 DOES NOT WORK, even if you mess with the patch number--I tried it. Whoever owns the poschengband repository, please do update it.

I'd be happy to attach a working Makefile.win (at least MINGW compatible*) if you want that too.

* no-cygwin is no longer supported, so that would need some tweaks too.

I believe you are incorrect.

Huh, thanks much. I wonder what I did wrong in my previous fetch. My apologies.

Ugh. Used git fetch instead of git pull, and neglected to reset to HEAD. I always forget the details on this :/

Also, there is no such file as Makefile.win. The only supported build on Windows is with Visual Studio using Poschengband.sln ...

Sure, but I am able to build with a modified version from Vanilla. Much easier than installing MSVS

Easier than running Linux?

Was there a problem with the binaries here?
