Re: [crossfire] Volunteer for Windows builds?
I will have limited access to a 32bit Win XP home workstation starting in about 2 weeks. Will Visual Studio express work for the builds? Or, is something else needed or recommended? I'm not totally sure, I only tried with VS 6... Note that it will *NOT* work with Visual Studio 2008. There is a workaround to temporarily solve the issue, but it's not guaranteed it won't crash horribly at some point. Technical details: VS2008 apparently changed the behaviour of snprintf, which will happily not add a final NULL when the destination buffer is not big enough. Crossfire relies on the presence of a final NULL and uses strlen after such concatenation... The result under Windows is dirty, obviously :p One fix is to increase the buffer sizes everywhere and hope you'll never try to put larger text. Other solution (better) is to use StringBuffer for concatenation, which requires some work on the code... (something I have in mind, but not sure when it'll be done). (note that there may be some other function or compile flag I'm missing, I didn't test everything...) Also, for Windows builds, the hard part is the initial setup. Once everything is installed, building isn't too hard.

Re: [crossfire] Volunteer for Windows builds?
(Moving the discussion from IRC to the ML) What about using something like CMake ? http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Index.html http://www.cmake.org/HTML/About.html The issue isn't really the project/Makefile. The issue is to setup the build environment correctly :) (especially for the GTK client) Nicolas -- http://nicolas.weeger.org [Petit site d'images, de textes, de code, bref de l'aléatoire !] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
[crossfire] Volunteer for Windows builds?
Hello. Is there anyone willing to do binary builds for Windows for now on? I don't mind doing the .11 release, but I must say if someone else would like to do the next ones, I'll gladly let him/her handle things :) Nicolas -- http://nicolas.weeger.org [Petit site d'images, de textes, de code, bref de l'aléatoire !] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
