Help with Brucey's modules in Vista

BlitzMax Modules Forums/Brucey's Modules/Help with Brucey's modules in Vista

Hello I have just got a faster laptop which operates under Vista. I have installed Blitz 1.3 on it so far but I am not sure what to do next. I need Fmod and Box2d to run my game. Will minGW work under Vista? Is there anything I should know before installing any modules?

I am very new to Vista so it all feels a bit uncomfortable so far.

Thank you very much - Rico :)

BTW what is the latest version of Box2D called? (version number)

Install MingW under Vista:

That looks great Volker - I am going to give that a go. Thank you very much for your help.

Yeah, once you get MinGW set up properly, getting the modules working should be exactly the same as for XP.

BTW what is the latest version of Box2D called?

The official number? I'm not sure. I always take the Box2D source direct from its SVN repository. This means it should be versioned at whatever is Current + any recent changes.

Will minGW work under Vista?


Yup -- both under 32 bit and 64 bit.
