Title: Need help building OpenXcom (Windows 7 x64)
Post by: kzwix on October 13, 2013, 02:31:17 pm

Hi,

I've taken the OpenXcom sources, and I've taken the 64b versions of SDL and the other libs (they are said to be compatible even with 32b), but I didn't manage to build successfully the whole set.

In fact, I built SDL, but then, when I compiled the SDL-related libraries, they wouldn't link properly.


Can someone help me ?  I wonder if it has to do with compiling 64b versions, but I'm not that familiar with big projects, so I have difficulties understanding what is wrong.

Thanks in anticipation.

did you grab the pre-compiled dependancies?

Nope, I was building all the libs one by one. I'll try with those dependencies, and let you know how it went. Thanks :)

Last time I fiddled with this, building the dependencies from scratch was hard work. I recommend trying the precompiled dependencies.
