Check your makefile ([projectname].mak).
My guess is that DEVDIR is incorrect.

Yeah, I'm almost positive that you're right, Tvspelsfreak.

You've done it again! It compiled.. but it did have 1 warning... didn't say what though. is that common?

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 4:16 pm

Actually, it is. I always get at least one warning. I'm sure it's one of two.

1) No newline at end of file

2) No global symbol at nmake blah blah whatever.

If it's the first one, just put a return at the end. If it's the second one, which it always is, who cares? Just forget about it...

Ok, about the errors on my compilation. I have narrowed them down and found this after fixing a strange define error. Here are the results:

Maybe you, Tvspelsfreak, recognize that error in the reent.h file?

Tvspelsfreak · Post by **Tvspelsfreak** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 5:29 am

I sure do, comment out line 183 in reent.h and it'll work.

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 9:53 am

I sure remember that too.

I just didn't remember how to fix it.

Damn I always hated that.

Compilation Successful. Woot Ya'll!

But why the heck would somebody realese something so big as KOS and not give it just one single test compile before releasing it??? How do you get by with things like that?

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 11:46 am

That's the only thing I've encountered.

And actually, it really isn't that big. I've never met anybody else besides Tvspels and (I think GPF?) that used this setup.

It is the best, but people normally use that crappy Cygwin setup. . .

Oh, and also, people saying that the DC is only Devvable through Cygwin/Linux doesn't help any. . .
