Wiki up to date?
« on: July 02, 2011, 07:21:22 am »
 Hello, folks. First post, here. :D

I'm not clear on the wiki address:

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Using_GLFW_with_Code::Blocks

Quote
Compile

    For Windows users, there is a batch file which allows to compile using a variety of compilers. Open a DOS window, cd to the directory where GLFW lives (e.g. C:\glfw), and type compile make mgw. If you use the Borland compiler, type compile make bcc instead, and for MSVC, type compile make msvc.

I get:

Quote
'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Perhaps this is something basic, but I'm not finding it. A bit of help, anyone?

Running Windows 7 on an Asus eee netbook. Have Code::Blocks & MinGW working. Trying to get started with 3D coding.

You need to install make, probably the MSYS variant of make.

Thanks, that was what I suspected, but without 'MSYS' as a keyword, the info I needed was obfuscated by a sea of hits for '+make +command'.

I installed MSYS & TCL, but had to install MAKE.EXE seperately. (Thought it would be included in the main package. :?

Now I'm looking for msys-1.0.dll.. I'll find it. These are the bumps & burrs of getting started with coding, I suppose. :)

At every step, I am halted by these damned dll errors.  After finding & placing a few others, I'm getting the following message:

Quote
C:\msys\1.0\bin\msys-iconv-2.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or software vendor for support.

Is the dll out of date? I can't seem to find a more recent version.

My apologies if this shouldn't be posted here.

FYI:

I always try the Gnuwin32 make before MSys Make.
Note: I often end up using MSys or Cygwin Make because Gnuwin32 make is not enough.

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm

In rare cause, copying MinGW mingw32-make.exe to make.exe works.
