compiling on XP

Post #1by gottliebpet » 07.04.2004, 04:30

I have tried both the IDE and the command line. The IDE compiles everything and links up to a last message that it can't open d:\lib.obj. No such file appears to have been generated by the process.

From the command line, using nmake winbuild.mak it accepts the libs that have been built from the IDE, but when trying to link Celestia it gives a warning message "defaultlib LIBC conflictrs with other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library. Unfortunately, I can find no way to successfully use this directive in the makefile. Furthermore, if I repeat the nmake it tells me that celestial.exe is up to date, but no such executable has been built on the d: drive. I have a Celestia executable on my C: drive that I had previously downloaded as such.

Can anyone help?

Have you tried makerelease.bat or makedebug.bat? Both are in the root dir.
