Topic: Compiling Core

Something is not clear for me.

  Why need installing Windows SDK.

I compiled with VS2010Express and It seems to be working (some warning occurred )

Re: Compiling Core

so it's working for you? I'd say you're ok then big_smile

I haven't compiled LiteStep in many years, so I'm not much help here at the moment.

Re: Compiling Core

So you're saying "Build Setup Step A" in this guide is unnecessary? http://www.lsdev.org/doku.php?id=lsdev: … g_litestep

If we can get someone else to also verify that I'll remove it!

Incidentally, since MinGW has a 64bit version (http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/), it'd be nice to have a build guideline for that version as well.

From what I've gathered from the website, MinGW-w64 seems to work for Win32 and x64 apps. Also, it'd be interesting to know if one could compile a 64bit LiteStep that can still use 32bit modules.

Re: Compiling Core

You need atleast strsafe.h to compile LiteStep which is obtained through the SDK. There might be more headers you need from the SDK but I'm not sure.

Btw if you're compiling 0.25.0 you don't need libpng or zlib.

Re: Compiling Core

How do I register to edit that docuwiki page ? My task is to compile 0.25 and I may get to mingw as well.

Re: Compiling Core

I think for now the way things are done is that you can create a page elsewhere, or copy content and edit it, and then people with access can insert it into the lsdev wiki.

Re: Compiling Core

Just a small update. Building LS in Code::Blocks on Linux for Win32 using MingW32 is looking good. I'm working on that when I have time. This could open up development to devs that moved to Linux who don't want to do development in a Windows IDE but may still be interested in LS.

When I get C::B's going with MingW32 I'll try the same with the 64bit version.
