Wesnoth 1.5.6

I managed to get it to compile (and it seems to be working) by deleting the -Werror option from the main Makefile and src/Makefile.

The Right Way would be to pass --disable-strict-compilation to ./configure

OK. Thanks. I didn't find that in my googling. The note in configure --help mentions that you can --disable-FEATURE, but that's hardly helpful if you don't know what features are available!

If BfW no longer compiles without that option, something should probably be changed. Maybe it's my system, but I just installed openSUSE 11.1, so it's pretty standard. (Is gcc 4.3.2 more strict than earlier versions?)

./configure --help expicitly mentions --disable-strict-compilation. Try running

Code: Select all

./configure --help | grep \\--disable-strict-compilation

and you'll see.

Some developers use gcc 4.3.2 so it's likely fixed in 1.5.7

Yes.

Does openSUSE 11.1 use Python 2.6?

So I just downloaded 1.5.7 and noticed that the uninstaller for 1.5.6 doesn't do anything, maybe because I didn't install in the default directory. Is that something anyone would like to check? I mean, there is nothing to uninstall anyway IIRC, simply deleting the folder does kill all the files doesn't it?

Oh, yeah, so of course I'm talking of windows XP.

Installing to different dir shouldn't make difference since it records install location to registry. Perhaps you copied your installation manually?

Yes. With the exception of registry keys and start menu entries which likely be overwritten by 1.5.7 installer..

That might be the case.

Yes. Is that related to the problem I had?
