Module Build Failure?

I tried to install FOD and as part of the step you have to rebuild the modules. However, I get the following error:

Building Modules
Compiling:blitz_app.c
Build Error: failed to compile C:/Program Files/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/blitz.mod/blitz_app.c
Process complete

Not sure if this relates to FMod or another module?

Also, the rebuild all modules button is greyed out? PC version not MAC.

You have to install MingW and adjust the pathes correctly.
You can't build modules without it

Ok, so I installed MingW and rebooted. What do I do now? The rebuild all modules is still greyed out?

Have you looked at Marks guide?

In particular the setting of the environment variable and path.

Jim,

I added C:\MinGW\mingw32\bin to the path variable? Your link above appears to be broken or it doesn't seem to think that I am logged in? I am logged into the site?

Very strang! Can someone tell me what is at this post?

Hi Sean, Make sure you're using version 3.1 of MinGW as the newer version 4 doesn't like BlitzMax.

As well as adding MinGW to your path you have to also setup a new user variable by clicking the new button when in environment variables. Give a a name and add "MinGW" and for it's value add the path to MinGW eg. C:\MinGW.

That should allow you to build modules properly and should make the options available in the IDE instead of them being greyed out.

Hope that helps. :)

Before I started I uninstalled BlitzMax rebooted and removed all files in "C:\Program Files\BlitzMax". Then I installed BlitzMax 1.14.

The following is my config so far:

MinGW version is "MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe"
MinGW is installed at "C:\MinGW"
MinGW bin is installed at "C:\MinGW\bin"

Path is "%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\Common Files\SurfStats;C:\Program Files\Surfstats8000\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\MinGW\bin;"

Added the additoinal user enviromental variable:

Variable Name: "MinGW"
Variable Value: "C:\MinGW"

The options are greyed out! I can press control D but it fails with the following:



Please note that I also have environment variables for Visual Studio?

Help

Rebooted aftre all not and I have the same problem. Not! The problem is gone! Cool!

Variable Name: "MingW"
Variable Value: "C:\MingW\bin"

This should work

VS Env Variables are unimportant as not read by BM. It only uses GCC

I don't think I going to add the \bin to the end! It works now and that is the way I like it! I couple of post refered to the base bath not the bin so I not sure which is right?
