Celestia Forums

Hi to all,
I am a reletive newcommer to Celestia and I have downloaded the latest official version,and I do enjoy it very much.

I had a look at the forum and stumbled upon the development section,and I read wcomer's post on how to compile celestia on windows with great interest,and decided to compile the lastest version from CVS.

I had followed wcomer's instructions and I have the full version of Windows Platform SDK and have moved the various files to their locations
according to the instructions.

The problem I'm having is listed in the command output I've pasted here:

I dont see a path to the SDK bin. That may be it. My folder names are different so only use this as a guide.


Edit Also, Make sure you have Word Wrap off if your using Notepad to edit this. Having it on may cause problems.

It's been ages now that I set this up but I think I had problems with celvars having too many SET commands. So my working copy has only 3. Only use this as a guide. Some of my my folder names are probally different. Microsoft-SDK for example.

Hi,
I have followed cartrite's instructions and have altered my celvars
accordingly.I ran command prompt again and I got this output:

So I don't know where I'm going wrong here,so I had better tell you where the main files are.

My makerelease file is in C:\TortoiseCVS\celestia,
My celvars file is in C:\MyCelestia,
Both of my Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and Microsoft SDK are in
C:\Program Files.

I'll also let you know that word-wrap in Notepad is definetly off.

Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

Regards,
nightcast2000

Got Me. Everything looks right. Could you paste your celvars inside the code buttons? That way I could copy it to a txt file and see if there are any typos.

Edit: Never mind. See below. There are missing "Program Files" in all your paths.

NIGHTCAST2000

I have put my altered celvars here:

@echo off

Set PATH=C:\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin;C:\Microsoft SDK\Bin\win64;%PATH%
Set INCLUDE=C:\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkiit 2003\include;C:\Microsoft SDK\Include;C:\Microsoft SDK\Include\mfc;%INCLUDE%
Set LIB=C:\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\lib;C:\Microsoft SDK\Lib\IA64\mfc;C:\Microsoft SDK\Lib\;%LIB%

Missing Program Files.

Edit
Your original celvars looks like it doesn't have any problems. I tried to split up the set commands and celvars still works. I also took out the path to SDK's bin and that still worked. So it seems that those changes I suggested were not necessary. SORRY. I can't remember what I was doing wrong back when I set this up but I think I may have been ommitting the "%LIB%" "%INCLUDE%" at the end of the extra lines. You have them in your original.

The only other thing that I can think of is that there may be a Microsoft folder in Program Files that both the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and Microsoft SDKare in. In that case the path may be
and
...........

I would open the folder Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and verify that it is where you think it is.
/Edit

Edit2
I was running the altered celvars on a celestia folder that I had just built so I didn't see the impact of removing the SDK bin or having extra Set commands would be. They were not needed to invoke nmake but were needed to build the program. The first error I got was a missing dll.
msvcr80.dll.
I can't remember if that came with the SDK or I put it there manually. All I know is that missing dll was in H:\Microsoft-SDK\Bin\win64 and was needed.
Anyhow, Don't discard that altered celvars. You may experience other problems after you get the build process started. Welcome to the insane world of building source code.

Here are a couple other things you can try in case your still having problems. Make sure your logged in as administrator. I beleive that only administrator's can change system variables. To be sure that your variables are set correctly, after running celvars, type in "set" and hit enter. You should see a lot of output that will include your current paths for PATH, INCLUDE, LIB. You could also run the set command before you run celvars and see if celvars changed anything. If celvars is changing your variables, then you got a different problem.

Hi Cartrite,
Thank you very much for the advice,I will try that one.I am running Windows XP Professional with SP2 with all the latest updates.
I do log into my own account to compile Celestia,but I'm sure I made sure that my own account has administrive priviges,so I thought that wouldn't matter too much.

I will give it a go anyway,

Regards,
nightcast2000

So I guess the missing "Program Files" didn't work?

I do log into my own account to compile Celestia,but I'm sure I made sure that my own account has administrive priviges,so I thought that wouldn't matter too much.

Yes your right. As long as your logged in with administrive priviges you should be alright. Try that stuff with the set command though, at least then you'll know where you stand..Mabey there was some other problem all along.

About the SDK\Bin, I reread wcomer's instructions. there was this section

IV. Installing miscellaneous utilities.

1) Move Nmake.exe, cvtres.exe, lib.exe from "Microsoft SDK\bin\Win64\" to "Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin\"
2) Move RC.exe, RcDll.Dll from "Microsoft SDK\bin\" to "Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin\"
3) Download http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... make15.exe (50 kB)
4) Unzip nmake15.exe
5) Put nmake.err in the folder "Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit\bin".
6) Discard the rest of the nmake15.exe files.

I set this up long after that was written. There may be a couple extra files that are needed now. That's why you may need the SDK\Bin\win64 in your PATH. I know I do. But I may have missed one too.

Here it looks as if a space is being encountered and it's not seeing the whole folder name as a folder.

What encoding are you using when you save the file celvars.bat? Mine is set to ANSI.

Hi cartrite,
I have read your recent posts have carried out the instructions
you have suggested,here is the output I got from command prompt.

I did a little experiment when I noticed the makerelease was complaning that it couldn't find nmake.exe and nmake.err.I cut&pasted both files into the C:\TortoiseCVS\celestia\src folder,here is the output I got.

After a prolonged quick look, it seems that your environment variables are already set before you run celvars. That may be giving windows headaches. Try running makerelease without running celvars. I'll keep looking and mabey I'll see something else.

Hi cartrite,
I carried out what you suggested and went straight to makerelease and got this output:


I have kept the configuration as I have posted recently(i.e Nmake.exe and
nmake.err are still in the C:\TortoiseCVS\celestia\src)

I hope that helps,

Regards,
nightcast2000

Another thing I noticed is that your path seems to be out of order with respect to the order my working copy produces. If there are 2 different files in the search path with the same name, Windows will use the one it finds first. I think. If it does that it may use the wrong file.
Output from the set command before I run celvars.

crosoft-SDK\Lib\;

I don't even have a path for INCLUDE or LIB before I run celvars.

Try to copy and paste the following into a text file and save it as celvars.bat



If that don't work, navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\ and copy vcvars32.bat and paste it on your desktop. Right lick on it and chose edit. Erase everything you see. Position the cursor at the beginning of the file and paste the code above. Hit save not save as. Then right click and rename it to celvars.bat and try running that.

This should have been my first question. Are you using a 64 bit version of XP?

I just seen your post that you posted while I was writing this. . I would take them out.

EDIT
I'm sorry that code above is bogus. Try this.


Check for typos. I wrote that by hand to make it work for you and I'm a lousy typist.

Hi, Nightcast. Not knowing much about this, but being able to succesfully compile using the free MS utilities, I want to contribute the following. This is the screen output in my system. Observe that the version of the MS Program Maintenance Utility is 7, much greater than the 1.5 in your system. Is it possible that this affects anything?

And these are my relevant environment variables:

Finally, I have discovered that I need to edit the file celestia cvs\celestia\src\celestia\res\celestia.rc, and add the command #include "commctrl.h" after the including of resource.h, to avoid having errors about undefined keywords (DTS_RIGHT_ALIGN and such).

Hi carteite,
I've done what you asked and went to command prompt
and cd'ed to the desktop and ran the celvars.

The output was interesting,because when I ran it,the prompt cursor went back to Desktop.

By the way,I'm running Windows XP Professional 32-bit edition.

Look at that post agin. I've edited it. You know if you get tired of trying all this there is a setup that will install the cvs code for 10/04/2006 found here.

Where can I get Ms Program Maintenance Utiliy 7 from?
Is it from Microsoft SDK Sp1?
