You can't.

Well, you have to replace DF's copy of SDL.dll with the one distributed by DFHack. If you've already downloaded DFHack, it should only be a matter of copying over the file.

[expwnent]

What are you trying to avoid about reinstalling? Do you have custom scripts? It shouldn't overwrite them unless they have the same name as scripts in DFHack.

If a command window is opening with DF, it's installed right.
Dfhack-run us not what you need to use.

We have an insanely stupid, useless 37 GB hard-drive and the computer is over 10 years old. It just recently had it's space doubled so it's usable for basic things. To be brief, there's many house conflicts about it being dumb, and conserving hard-drive space when possible is a good thing. DF is all it has space and energy to run decently, without consuming the entire computer's resources.

Upon installing it I did overwrite the SDL file when asked, and it errored, so that's probably what caused the issue. If I were to just remove both instances of the SDL file and place them in a seperate folder and have nothing in the df folder, would it still install correctly, or would it not at all? I don't think I would be able to stop the error any other way.

If I have to I will reinstall it, i'm not that desperate, but it's an avoid-this-if-even-remotely-possible kind of scenario.

I can't replace just that because I can't open .7z files the same way I can open .zip files. It's not a folder or a pseudo-folder; the files are inaccessible. I have no choice but to extract it all at once, picking and choosing files is not an option.

Thanks for the help everyone.

If the DFHack window is opening at all, replacing the DLL won't fix it.  But maybe that was a console window from dfhack-run or something, so it's worth trying a re-install.

You should be able to extract everything on top of the current install, which won't use up any additional space (once the tempfiles clear).  You can rename the two SDL files to ensure that they're out of the way.  Once things are running properly, go ahead and delete the renamed files.

DFHack is ready. Have a nice day!

Still, the fact that it didn't just crash or load df without dfhack is good right?

Compiled and built the dev branch, arch linux, df 40.24, updated the symbols.xml with the one on newer commit, I think the globals was already the most up to date one but still damn close, awesome work!

Question about DFHack:

What does it mean when a creature will marry one sex but "likes" the other?  Does "like" refer to a lovers' relationship that never progresses?

[PhoenixEggz]

The problem is that it's not working at all. It's like I never installed DF-hack to begin with.

Yes, as far as I know.

I'm not really sure how your archive manager works, but the one I'm used to extracts to a new folder by default (i.e. not "over" an existing folder). Could you try this and copy over the two .dll files? (Replacing SDL.dll, as well as copying any other files/folders you haven't already.)
Also, you are using the SDL version of DF, correct?

[Badger Storm]

So then the only animals that won't breed are the ones who are straight-up (no pun intended) homosexual or asexual?

EDIT: Two additional questions:

1. Can you still get baby animals from a "lover" relationship?
2. Is there any way to tell if an animal has picked a partner, and who that partner is?

Hi to every one, I tried to use latest df hack version (40.23) with df 40.24 but it crashes every time I start the game, how did you solve the issue in order to play df 40.24 with df hack?

Don't.

Use version that is supported (e.g. if it's called dfhack 0.40.23-r1 it should be used with df 0.40.23)
