[O] Error Using Dev-C++ to compile

BennyG · September 28, 2009, 21:08

Ok, I am a total newb so please forgive me if I am missing something easy.

I just got a copy of Dev-C++ to compile O 1.10u to fix the 'hidden copper/silver/gold' inventory bug. I followed the instructions for angband compiling found http://rephial.org/wiki/Compiling#s2_4

I am getting his error:

584 C:\Dev-Cpp\Projects\oangband110u\src\main.c `modules' undeclared (first use in this function)

Here is the section: (Offending line in red)

#ifndef _WIN32_WCE
/* Print the name and help for each available module */
for (j = 0; j < (int)N_ELEMENTS(modules); j++)
{
printf(" %s %s\n",
modules[j].name, modules[j].help);
}
#endif

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

It looks like you have not added the -DWINDOWS to the compiler options (instruction 6).

I double checked. I used the flags exactly as shown on that page.

Odd. The build system for V is different to the O110u one, but this particular problem is hard to understand.

If it's any comfort, I have made a list of things that I need to fix...

Is there a better IDE that I can use, preferably a free one?

On the plus side, I have been playing FAangband since I have been having so much trouble with O.

This thread may help you.

Oops - should have kept my mouth shut...

You mean like Dev Studio 2008 (express)? Since M$ made its basic IDE free (in 2004), it seems a bit pointless to support after-market developer environments. MinGW/cygwin for basic compilation and devenv.exe for an IDE should be enough.

Tried using VS2008 express for c/c++. Got more errors then I did with Dev-c++ and it installed like 8 other useless apps.
Haven't tried eclipse yet.
