CVS compile fails for me since Oct 20

[Andy74]

Hi.

Since a couple of weeks I've been compiling Celestia for myself and I quite enjoy it - i think it's the real Celestia feeling, being up to date with the development!
According to wcomer's instructions in the respective sticky topic on top of this forum I'm using Tortoise CVS (without any problems), MS Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and the Microsoft Platform SDK.
At October 20 (about two weeks ago) I successfully compiled the CVS Celestia version (with CVS updated before) for the last time.
Any further compile at later dates failed.
The output of makerelease follows:

Code: Select all

   cd celutil
   nmake /NOLOGO util.mak MFLAGS=-MD CFG=Release
'.\Release\cel_utils.lib' is up-to-date
   cd ..

Celestia CVS (last update today (11/04/2006) about 11:15 AM GMT)

Any help is very much appreciated - I miss the REAL Celestia feeling (and the latest bug fixes).
Thank you!

You might try to make a clean release :

Code: Select all

> makerelease clean

... and then :

Code: Select all

> makerelease

i have had a simalure prob but with gcc 4.1 and it involves lua ( ie. the current version) not being found but hay this is a cvs build after all

Dear Vincent,

thank you very much for this suggestion. Now everything works fine for me again.
Is it generally recommended to run

Code: Select all

makerelease clean

before running

Code: Select all

makerelease

or does this depend on certain conditions?
Just curious ...

Thanks again
Andy

Well, I personnally make a clean release after a major update, to delete the .obj files that were built during the previous compilation.
Or, at least, when I get the kind of error you have reported...
