FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello,

I just tried compiling minetest for the fifth time when i keep coming across a link error everytime it's attempting to link. The full error is:

Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'stlport_static.lib'

Any ideas? Thanks!

What OS and compiling programs are you using?

I tried the MinGW under XP way once and never did get a good compile, but I know that eventually I had to go the advanced section to add more paths than were listed in the general instructions to get past some lib errors.

I'm using Windows XP Professional with Visual C++ 2008 Installed, with Microsoft Platform SDK for 2003, and windows 7, with DirectX SDK August 2007.

My directory tree is exactly like the one the ReadMe specified and I followed it exactly

I've seen this too with CMAKE.

Any solutions?

Nope

So there's a broken version of minetest and no ones going to fix it? Huh.

If you want the new one download the bugger here:

http://minetest.ru/bin/minetest-ru-win-12.03.2012.zip

This works on the Infinity Server.

Specs:

HAS MANY UN-COMMITTED PARTS OF CODE, MAINLY Jeija's railtype and 3d player.

Works on most recent windows build servers.

Has 3d anayglyph.

Free.

Hope this helps!

No, you're failing a prerequisite in some way as your compiler isn't linking to the library file in order to complete the compile.

The only real error I'm getting now is when I begin to load minetest up, it complains about missing about "libintl3.dll" is missing. Any ideas?

gotta get the .dll and drop it into the bin folder
