So after many failed attempts I just managed to compile and build DFhack. Turns out in my previous attempts I made one (probably very silly) mistake. I downloaded the code via the 'Download Zip' instead of using this commandgit clone --recursive https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack
cd dfhack
.
Then I followed the instructions and it would always fail.
It might be useful to make a note of this right at the top of the instructions for Windows, because that's where I started reading the page, thinking that was where I should start. I think that might be very helpful for other noobs of Github, like myself.
Anyway, I'm now ready to try it out, thanks for a great tool!
Thanks, I was just having the same problem because I was trying to use "remote add" in my git command. >_>
I just updated the develop branch to point to the latest df-structures commit, so ensuring that you have the latest develop branch (of DFHack) and running "git submodule update" should get you a working df-structures. Thanks to sv-esk, the offsets should be complete on all three platforms, so DFHack should at least start up normally, although I haven't tested anything on Linux yet. OS X definitely works, though.
Confirming, works on Windows
Could you guys please upload that version and link it here?
I mean the .dll and other dhack files like in normal versions.
I desperately need the Dfhack (can't really play without workflow anymore) but when I tried to download that Git program and compile it myself I realized I have no idea what I'm doing.
Not everyone is a programmer. However if you need any legal counseling (civil law), let me know.
If you guys could do that, I'll be really, really thankful.
Cheers,
Matt
PS. I'm assuming there is a newer version that the one posted on the previous page since you guys had to compile it yourself.
Edit. Got it. Thanks Santa!
