ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Not a moan ! ...

Have a mind that some large percentage of the folk who play ToME are never going to build anything from anything with anything computer-related. If it's not available as an application which one downloads and then runs, for them (okay then hands up, us ) it might as well not exist. Ye all put in mammoth amounts of time for nerry a shilling. That much is forever clear.

... not a moan !

keep in mind also that this will keep on being updated (at least till all the bugs are straightened out), so even though the current version is 2.3.8 (unofficially) there needs to at least be someone to compile a windows version if there is a change, as most people playing tome play on windows (probably). they cant just be ignored. which is why I wanted to try to compile it even though there already is one, so I could do it later... so my challenge would be *do* a windows compile for each (unofficial) release (and a linux and mac too). sources are good, but not everybody know how to do them.

Could anyone who's actually managed to get it tome compile on Windows add some detailed instructions to wiki page? (Or update the page, or whatever)

FWIW, I agree that the building.txt needs to be expanded greatly, but I don't have access to Windows, so...

If there's any chance of an OSX executable of the update, I would play it.

I managed to build it on windows. All I had to do was install git and cmake, I already had mingw installed for a while. From there just run the commands listed in building.txt.

I'm not sure what someone would need to know coming at this as a newbie. I think the only thing I had to do manually was add mingw's bin location to my PATH. You can google how to edit the PATH environment variable, it's simple.

I've applied the automatizer fix and the mimicry duration display fix. I've also added support for building the GTK2 interface with the CMake build system. (The last bit isn't really tested. It did start on my machine ).

I think the mimicry spell failure thing is a little too ugly. (Though I suppose by the standards of the existing code, it mightn't be that bad.)

The fixes have been pushed to the git repo.

Just thought I'd mention it here:

Since there already quite a few fixes, I've tagged v2.3.8-ah in git. I'd appreciate it if somebody could compile an "official" 2.3.8-ah for Windows.

I just got a fresh copy (2.3.8-ah) out of the repository to try my hand at compiling on windows.

Once I had all the requisite bits the build seemed to go okay, but I had to turn on "Bizarre Display" for the main ToME window or things go a bit wonky. I don't have to do this in version 2.3.5 running on the same system.

Any ideas as to what's going on here?

I have always had to turn Bizzare Display on, even with the official 2.3.5. Otherwise I'd get the @ trails and all that. Both on win XP and Win7x64

Two quick questions:

1. Is there a place where I can just grab a tarball of the current source? I didn't see that on the Git site. Unless I just have to hit the download v2.3.8-ah as tar.gz link here:
http://gitorious.org/tome2/tome2/commits/v2.3.8-ah

(The main link on the tome2 folder is broken, it sends you to http://gitorious.org/tome2/tome2/commit/v2.3.8-ah )

2. Is there a free / open source C++ compiler out there for Windows that will compile this beast? DevC++ gagged on it. Trying MinGW next...

Error when I try to compile on Windows:

Latest mingw32. I had to use cmake-gui to get things rolling, as cmake keeps stupidly finding my Free Pascal's GCC and refusing to look anywhere else.

Yeah, as you've found out, compiling on Windows can be a pain.

I don't really have any way of testing Windows builds, so things may be a bit rough... Any additions to the build instructions for Windows would be welcomed.
