Compiling Problem

[NIGHTCAST2000]

Hi Guys,
Here's what I did.I copied nmake.exe and MSVCR70.dll to my celestia main folder(nmake was complianing that it couldn't find the dll)
The thing was nmake.exe couldn't find winbuild.mak,so I cut&pasted both files to the source folder.So I brought up command prompt and got this output:

I'm not sure what has happened here any ideas?

Unfortuantely, you don't show the commands that you typed, only their output. That makes it hard to determine what should have happened.

However, the output that you show implies that you cd'd to the celestia directory and typed the command
makerelease clean
Is that what you did?

The "clean" argument tells nmake to use the entry "clean" in the makefile. That entry contains commands to delete all of the output from previous builds so that a subsequent build will start from scratch.

The output you show says that there was nothing for the clean procedure to delete.

You now should be able to type the command
makerelease
and have everything compiled and linked from scratch.

[NIGHTCAST2000]

Sorry Selden,
What I was doing was following Pheonix's instructions to do a
`make clean` before I re-compiled my CVS version of Celestia.

After reading your post,I went to command prompt again changed directory down to the celestia folder.

I then ran makerelease and now it can't find libintl.h.I have checked the include folder and the file is there.

nightcast2000

You need to do a cvs download again.
That was a problem from yesterday morning.

[NIGHTCAST2000]

Hi selden,
After I was getting too many problems doing a make clean,I moved my celvars,zlib.dll,libpng1.dll,and the addons I was using from motherlode into my Addons folder.I then moved my Addons folder from the celestia folder to the TortoiseCVS folder.

I then deleted the celestia folder and ran CVS-checkout to get the latest version of CelestiaCVS.After TortoiseCVS had downloaded all of the files,I extracted the files from winlibs-new to the celestia folder and moved the files to their appropriate places.I then ran celvars and makerelease in that order from command prompt to compile celestia again.

Thankfully,celestia works now,so when I need to recompile celestia again,would I just have to run makerelease clean and then makerelease again?

Well, you should consider doing a cvs checkout first, but then the two makerelease commands should work. One reason to do a recompile without a checkout would be to enable the SPICE support if you want it. See http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celest ... s.html#5.6

[cartrite]

NIGHTCAST2000,
When you update CVS with tortoise, right click on the celestia folder and choose update. I always have 3 copies of cvs.
1. This copy is never built. I just update it
2. This copy is built.
3. After an update I rebuild a fresh copy.
4. After another update I rebuild a fresh copy and delete the oldest one.
5. Every now and then I save one of the builds so I have an older copy to reference.

Sometimes I do things a little differently but I don't want to confuse you.

This is how I started out. Never failed
I'm not building a kernel or KDE desktop, which i have done before. Building Celestia from scratch takes about a minute.

[NIGHTCAST2000]

Hi Selden,
I've read your post with some interest and I had a look on your notes on SPICE.

I have downloaded the spice-win32.zip,and I have extracted it to my celestia folder,and I have uncommented the SPICE=enable in winbuild.mak.

I am going to give it a try now,

Hi guys,
I need to ask a query when I re-compile celestia to see if I'm doing things the right way.

First of all,I right-clicked on the celestia folder that is in my TortoiseCVS
folder and selected CVS update.Then TortoiseCVS contacted the repository and downloaded the latest updated files.I then brought up Command Prompt and here's what I typed in the first stage:

and here's the output I got:

The system cannot find the file specified.

I had checked that directory and Makerelease had indeed deleted the celestia.exe in that directory!So when I tried to compile with `Makerelease`,it wouldn't work,so I cut&pasted the celestia.exe that was produced from a previous compile into src\celestia\Release and started again.Here is the output I got:

makerelease clean
only cleans up: it tries to delete previous binaries and that's all.

makerelease
by itself with no arguments is the command to compile and link a new copy of Celestia.

There have been some recent efforts to eliminate the compiler's warning messages. Most have been eliminated, but there still are quite a few.

[abramson]

Hi. After the makerelease clean, run makerelease again (without the clean). This has worked for me. You will have a fresh recompile of everything.

Hi Selden,
Thanks for the quick response,I just needed to be sure everything was ok when I re-compile and it was the correct procedure.
