SCI Development Tools / Re: FreeSCI - compiling?

« on: June 14, 2007, 03:36:26 AM »

In regard to darcs, I tried the link that was provided in an earlier post, and that one didn't work.. I haven't installed darcs yet (pff, yet another CVS/SVN/SourceSafe clone, my computer is getting stuffed with all those variants.. LOL)..
When I've got some time, I'll see if I can get the darcs version... thanx..

Is your complaint that you want the toolbars to have lines around them?

Simply put, yeah, or better said, I'd rather have the real 'old' windows look like scistudio has.. but musicallyInspired said about being able to alter the look, and that's something I haven't tried yet..

Just to let you know what I think about UI's: the new ribbon stuff in the new MS Office is just plain awfull.. hehe..

but keep up the great work on SCI-Companion, in the end it will be a really great enviroment to develop SCI games..

I guess the 'darcs' repository is dead, at least the link doesn't work..

I'm pretty sure that the code from the site doesn't really compile well (At least not for win32), since I extracted it again (now I only extracted freesci-0.3.5.tar.tar), and now it compiles better (I've installed some newer SDK's ), but still with some errors...

freesci.exe - 16 error(s), 93 warning(s)
and checking the path's it really is missing all those files.. but looking at the glutton code, that one does have at least the sci_win32.h file, but I haven't checked the other files if they are in the 'glutton' version..
So I guess I'll have to check the svn to see if that one does have all the files for the normal version...
HMMM... just tried svn, but it also seems completely gone... damn...

SCI Development Tools / FreeSCI - compiling?

« on: June 07, 2007, 01:55:34 PM »

I'm trying to get FreeSCI compiled (downloaded the code from http://freesci.linuxgames.com/?page=download), but it ain't easy. I followed the instruction of the readme.win32 in regard to the structure for freesci and SDL..

The readme.win32 is a bit old, as it refers to the Microsoft site for the SDK's, but those SDK's are not available anymore (It seems I do already have DirectX 9 SDK (Update august 2005)).. And I'm baffled now where to get the needed ones.
I'm using VC++6 (as was mentioned in the readme), maybe later I'll try .NET 2003.
I already tried to compile it, but I got 115 errors:

Code: [Select]

******************** IMPORTANT MESSAGE ********************
You must have installed a recent Platform and DirectX SDK
for this build to be successful. Download MS SDKs from:
www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate
***********************************************************
D:\src\freesci\src\engine\game.c(38) : fatal error C1189: #error :  *** BUILD FAILED: Need more recent SDKs or fix your SDK paths in Tools Options ***

I have 3 paths in my Tools options:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE
D:\DEVELOPMENT\MICROSOFT DIRECTX 9.0 SDK (AUGUST 2005)\INCLUDE

The first 3 where added I guess when I installed VC like a zillion years ago, and the latter I just added. I guess I also need one to the WIN32 SDK or something, but I first need to have that one...

I'm not really a C++ programmer (I'm not really fond on the whole syntax C is using) but once I get the project up and running it should be no problem for me to make changes etc..

Yeah, I feel like a real noob now asking such a seemingly easy question

(Oh, one more thing, I first put the FreeSCI code where it belonged, and then I just put the glutton source over it, because the glutton source is missing some files).. Once I get this running I'll try to use the SVN version..

The biggest problem with SCI Companion is the interface, IMHO it is very bad compared to SCIStudio, there is no real distinguish between toolbars and windows, it all looks like one big canvas with icons. But I guess that's just my opinion. But it's great someone is making another editor..
