In an effort to learn more interesting things, have something noteworthy on my resume instead of just an AA, and to give back to a project I enjoy, appreciate, and have used for about 4 years; I'm trying to follow the directions to build CB from the source so I can start trying to help in some way. I'm not off to a promising start however. This seems like something that should be simple for me (especially if I'm aiming to contribute...), but frustratingly, it's not.
I've followed the directions in the wiki, double and triple checked everything, but still failing to build.
First it failed to build wxwidgets with a memory exhausted error (I have 8GB). I tried the flags thing mentioned in the wiki, but it still failed. I switched to monolithic=0, and that worked (though obviously I need to solve that properly).
Second, CB itself won't build. I made sure the wx variable was set with the base portion for the unpacked wxwidgets path, but the compile instantly fails on the first file with (invalid) and tinyxml/tinystr.cpp. I googled but that didnt really return anything relevant.
What am I missing? I'm not exactly inspiring confidence in myself, given my goal here. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
