Problems to install BfW 1.11.19 and 1.12.0 under Windows 7

[iceiceice]

Some things you could try:

1. chmod +x .../autorevision
2. Use scons instead (no particular reason it should fix but in my experience something like 80% of problems can be solved by not using cmake).

[Anonymissimus]

This is a very wild guess...I had something like that when not auto-mounting the (NTFS) partition I have my wesnoth source on. I added it to some file (probably in /etc/, I'm sure someone knows) so that the system mounts that partition automatically when booting, that fixed it.
What is your /mnt/data/data/ ?

@energyman76c

It might be that your clone is on a mount point that ignores the executable bit on files, resulting in utils/autorevision not being executable. Moving it to a mount point that does allow executable files (or changing your mount options to include the exec flag instead of noexec) should help.

way ahead of you Just to make sure everything is nice, crisp and clean I am currently doing a new git clone. Albeit very slowly.

[energyman76c]

btw, before I started the new clone, I tried scons... not.. good:

Checking for C library vorbisfile... yes
sh: build/sconf_temp/conftest_28: Keine Berechtigung
Checking for Ogg Vorbis support in SDL... no
sh: build/sconf_temp/conftest_29: Keine Berechtigung
Checking for PNG support in SDL... no
WARN: Client prerequisites are not met. wesnoth, cutter and exploder cannot be built
WARN: Unit tests are disabled because their prerequisites are not met
If any config checks fail, look in build/config.log for details
If a check fails spuriously due to caching, use --config=force to force its rerun
---[applying configuration]---
/bin/sh: utils/autorevision: Permission denied
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
error_action(["wesnoth"], [])
scons: *** [wesnoth] Target disabled because its prerequisites are not met
scons: building terminated because of errors.

oh and autorevision:
ls -lh utils
insgesamt 319K
drwxr-xr-x 2 energyman users 8 10. Dez 18:49 ai_test
-rwxr-xr-x 1 energyman users 17K 10. Dez 18:49 autorevision

and the filesystem itself looks good too:

zfstank atime off local
zfstank devices on default
zfstank exec on default
zfstank setuid on default
zfstank readonly off default

[iceiceice]

Thoughts:

• Try just cloning in your main home directory and building there and not using this mount point, so we can be sure that that is the issue?
• If scons checks fail but cmake doesn't regarding SDL... that is quite strange. It might be that cmake just doesn't test dependencies as rigorously but even in that case those configuration tests should pass or I think you will have problems with cmake also.
  • You could run `scons --config=force` and then post the contents of build/config.log,
  • you could also post the results of g++ -print-search-dirs when it is run in your mount point.
  You might want to reinstall SDL image, SDL mixer, to be sure that you are indeed compiling with png and vorbis support.

1.12.0 build fine, without scons or cmake complaining. I think those checks failed for the same reason autorevision failed.

git is still running.. crawling...

[gfgtdf]

I wanted to apply those commits to 1.12 anyway, if testing those on 1.12 is easier i can do so now.

[energyman76c]

it builds (used scons) and starts:

[gfgtdf]

ok the problem seems to be that wesnoth for some reason tries to read the translation files with

encoding='us-ascii'

coudl you please also show a logfile with --log-debug=all (or --log-debug=general) and post everything up to the first "error general: Failed to update locale due to conversion error" ?

as a temporary workaround you coudl select teh language explicitly to german in teh language pererences (instead of system default language)
