compile error

Hi I reinstalled blitzmax, updated to the latest version.
Then downloaded B3D, pasted the sidesign.mod folder into my mod folder.
Then I did 'build modules'-dont know if it was sucessful because I walked away
then I tried to run the bird demo and got this:

Do you have MinGW installed?

yes,
I installed it about a month ago so I think its the latest version

And you have the environment variable set up?

I have:
MINGW c:\mingw
and
Path c:\mingw\bin\;

hang on a minute I have user and system variables. I only have system variables set.

I forgot to mention they are linking errors and not compilation errors

Oh I just thought I'd try the latest version and I get this also. I've uninstalled MinGw and downloaded the latest version for good measure but it doesn't help -- modules compile, non-MiniB3D stuff compiles fine, but anything using MiniB3D (whether as an include or module) fails in the same way as Paxman's.

What should the environment variables actually be? I don't see how they can be wrong but obviously something is.

EDIT: Fixed! It's the same problem as with the Freeaudio mod in the prior Max update -- you need to copy ar.exe and ld.exe from the MinGW/bin dir to the blitzmax/bin dir because Max's are out of date(?!).

Really? It should work with a normal Max install. Are you using 1.28?


Yes that should be all you need.

Maybe I'll provide a pre-built module next time. Too many hassles with MinGW for most people.

works fine for me I took a plunge and converted my current project to the newest version and had no troubles at all.

Was that directed at me? Anyway I am but I went through 1.26 previously. Reading that thread I linked to, it looks like 'Rebuild All Modules' might be what causes the problem if you use that rather than Ctrl+D.

A pre-built module is a nice gesture but I think it's preferable for people to realise if Max isn't working right because, for instance, the problem that stops MiniB3D compiling also stops FreeAudio compiling (which, once I spotted it, is how I managed to search out the solution, but I nearly missed it and had it not been for MiniB3D falling over I might not have noticed for ages).

yeah Im using 1.28 I upgraded before I started to install miniB3D,

I've have the same problem...

I use blitzMax 1.28

The env variables are setted for MiniGW

I' added the sidesign.mod into the /mod folder

I've rebuild modules (ctrl+D)

I've changed ar.exe and ld.exe from the MinGW/bin

BUT the same error occurs :(

MinGW has to be re-installed as G++ and objective C++ compiller...
That worked for me :)

mingw has to be deleted first too
