I tryed to compile smart with wingw and it dont work.

here is the results http://img145.imageshack.us/f/smartcompilerresult.png/

I dont know if i do anything wrong or not. i used Cd to root dir and make, even with clean befor make still… nothing
I have not compiled a c++ source with makefile earlier.
woud be nice if somone could tell me what i do wrong. :confused:

It looks like you ran the makefile, which you can't do. You must simply type 'make' and then your make program will use the makefile to compile smart. I use GNU Make, I don't know what options there are for windows.

I tryed make but i only got somekind of description in the compiler window. nothing really happened.

Maybe reading that description, or posting it here, would help. :)

Syntax for SMART makefile:\n For Windows distributions: make windows\n For Linux distributions: make linux\n For new (broken) SCAR distributions: make scar\n For All distributions: make everything\n To clean build files: make clean



This is what i get after i do Cd to repositary directory and do Make.
So whats wrong why wont it compile the source ?

Type make windows…?

Try "make windows"?

Edit: :ninja::crying:

I got this error message hwen attempting to do make windows.


$ make windows
compiling main.cpp
make : i586-mingw32msvc-g++: command not found
make: *** {build/windows/main.i] error 127

:S

So you don't have that program, 'i586-mingw32msvc-g++', get it or another compiler for windows and change the name in the make file.

Well where do i get that program ? you sure its not a plugin to mingw ?

it might just be called g++ if you're in windows, regardless you need to change the name in the makefile to whatever it is for your system

Do you need cygwin if you run windows ?


For some reason cygwin dont work for me it wont any commands not make, nothing why is that ? sorry for all my noob questions.

Correct, i manage to get one command work in cygwin and that was dir… now how do i compile this makefile ? somone help me please.



Do i need to define a path in default vars for windows ?

You shouldn't need cygwin to compile this in windows, as long as you can find a make that runs without it.

But i did read somewhere it was nesesary to compile makefile, while on some modern linux distributions it was inbuildt.
But what else than cygwin can you use then for windows ?

Question: Why are you compiling it in the first place when there is already a pre-compiled binary version available?

Because its basic c++ knowledge.

I can compile a c++ source but its just this makefile witch make me confused.

You should really get more comfortable with the GNU build tools. Drop all the IDE's. This thread is going no where until you start reading and searching with google.
