Problems to install BfW 1.11.19 and 1.12.0 under Windows 7
I tried to install BfW 1.12.0 using the MS Windows package and encountered the problem that the program did not start.
Stderr.txt reported:
similar, when i choosed the my games/... directory as a save option, although the folders had been correctly by the setup program.
The same problem occurred with BfW 1.11.19, while 1.11.18 and earlier versions had no problem.
Could someone be so kind to give me advice what I should do?
Btw: I am not very experienced with windows - please keep it idiot proofed
many thanks in advance

I have the same problem with gentoo linux.
Removed all user directories, still get the same error.
So it is not a windows problem.

which is the default language on your computer?
Can you please run teh game with log debug general or all and post the log?

Re: Problems to install BfW 1.11.19 and 1.12.0 under Windows
Can you run BfW from console while passing --log-debug=all and paste stderr.txt again ?
To do so on win xp one can go to Start>Run, type cmd.exe, click OK, navigate to where wesnoth.exe is using cd X:\path\to\wesnoth.exe\ (cd=change directory) command and type wesnoth.exe --log-debug=all, press enter.
EDIT

Re: Problems to install BfW 1.11.19 and 1.12.0 under Windows
I currently believe this is related to boost locale. Boost locale usually uses differnt backends on different OS. So there quite often happen bugs that are not the same on differnt OS, that's why i'd also like to see the output with log debug all and the language setings for windows occurance.

Re: Problems to install BfW 1.11.19 and 1.12.0 under Windows
I am not sure, but i think this bug can for example appear if the game eigher tries to open a transation file that has invalid UTF8 or if the game due to some bug tries to open the translation files assuming something different than UTF8. Since i currently dont know why this happen all i currently do is adding more debug info about translations in the next release. If you want to start the game at any costs you can try to rename the "translations" folder to something different so that the game won't find them. But then the game might not be translated.
If you are on linux and compile wesnoth yourselves you can try to build wesnoth without boost locale.

Re: Problems to install BfW 1.11.19 and 1.12.0 under Windows
in ccmake I see an entry for the path of the boost-locale lib, but if I just delete the path, cmake errors out. Is there an option somewhere?
Besides, I can live very well without translations - I play in english anyway..

Re: Problems to install BfW 1.11.19 and 1.12.0 under Windows
gfgtdf, I added a check to travis like 4 or 5 months ago that checks that every file in po/ (also most in src and data) is utf8: https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/blob ... ck_utf8.shgfgtdf wrote:... game eigher tries to open a transation file that has invalid UTF8...
It did once flag a bug when someone signed a translation file using an umlaut character in their name but the encoding was broken somehow. But Ivanovic corrected this right away after the travis fail.
The check is not currently running in 1.12 branch. I ran the script just now there, this is the output that I got:

There should be an option "NLS", it is on by default but if you disable it then translation catalogues will not be assembled. I know that NLS=false is an option in scons, idk for sure what the equivalent in cmake is though.energyman76c wrote: Is there an option somewhere?
Re: Problems to install BfW 1.11.19 and 1.12.0 under Windows
i made 2 commits
https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/comm ... c2118acab3
and https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/comm ... 09ebcbcada
which give more debug info and could also prevent wesnoth from crashing in this case, it'd be good if someone who can reproduce this problem can test those commits.

Re: Problems to install BfW 1.11.19 and 1.12.0 under Windows
Here's some instructions (Windows) if anyone who can reproduce the bug feels like compiling it for themselves.
Another thought would be to upload the entire wesnoth install somewhere and let someone else who is not experiencing the bug try and run it.
