Compile Error in Dev-Cpp

Post by **CIB** » November 25th, 2006, 9:56 am

I'm trying to compile Wesnoth with Dev-Cpp and get a compile error here, which I'm unable to fix, since I don't really know much about C/C++...

Referencing to

while (font::line_width(*it, menu_font_size) > width() - 30 - 25)

in file_menu.cpp:

C:\Wesnoth\wesnoth source\src\widgets\file_menu.cpp In member function `void gui::file_menu::display_current_files()':

80 C:\Wesnoth\wesnoth source\src\widgets\file_menu.cpp [Warning] comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions

80 C:\Wesnoth\wesnoth source\src\widgets\file_menu.cpp cannot find -lSDL_net

80 C:\Wesnoth\wesnoth source\src\widgets\file_menu.cpp ld returned 1 exit status

80 C:\Wesnoth\wesnoth source\src\widgets\file_menu.cpp *** [wesnoth.exe] Error 1

AFAIK nobody managed to get a fully working compile on DevCpp yet. You'll have more luck with a cross compile.

problem isn`t in this line (it only say same not important warning).
Problem is that you doesn`t link SDL_net lib

I use DevCpp all the time. Problem is that you do not have the SDL_net package. Go to Tools/Package-manager and you will not see it listed there. You will need to update via Tools/check-for-updates.

OK, thanks, that worked. But not it says "cannot find -lpython24" and I have no idea what that is...

-l"NAME" adds a library so in this case it's Python 2.4 which is missing.
