Its the proverbial person teaching you to fish.

Exactly.

Asking again because I never got an answer.

Anyone know the steps to decompile and recompile the tiles version for Windows under Codeblocks?

Fork the official repo. Compile with TILES=1.

Doesn't work. Compiler spits out errors and freezes up.

Do you have all dependencies? SDL2, SDL2_ttf, SDL2_image? The .dll's necessary to run things? There's a thread on the forum that has all dependencies in one archive, I believe.

Doublepost. I know this question probably has a very obvious answer, but... why is there a river of lava directly under a government shelter? That time when it was a lab was bad enough.

[Sheb]

The lava industry got a great lobbyist.

[BigD145]

The lowest bidder was obviously a mad scientist with more lava than he knew what to do with at his secret volcano base.

You know, there's times you just have to say "Fuck it, I'm gonna die anyway, let's at least open up the debug menu and have fun with it. A few hundred zombies with two masters and tons of other specials in there surrounding me on day one? Definitely qualifies. At least I managed to blow a bunch to hell with incendiary grenades (my favourites after fertiliser bombs).

It's UNBELIEVABLE how much crap you have to go through to compile this. The Code Blocks project is horribly out-of-date.

First, go here http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=7646.msg182309#msg182309 and get the libraries. Extract the "include" and "lib" folders in each archive into the "3rdparty" folder (create it) in your cloned repository, i.e. "c:\Cataclysm-DDA\3rdparty\lib" and "c:\Cataclysm-DDA\3rdparty\include". Now, copy the whole "include" folder and copy it into the "src" folder and rename it "SDL2," i.e. "c:\Cataclysm-DDA\src\SDL2." Now, copy all files ending in .dll from the "3rdparty\lib\x86" folder to the root repository folder, i.e. "c:\Cataclysm-DDA".

That's all for file manipulation, but you're STILL not done. In the Code Blocks project file, go into project->build options menu. Click on "Release - Tile Support" and then on "Linker Settings." You need to change the 4 libraries to their SDL2 versions, i.e. the 4 entries should be:

3rdparty\lib\x86\SDL2.lib
3rdparty\lib\x86\SDL2main.lib
3rdparty\lib\x86\SDL2_image.lib
3rdparty\lib\x86\SDL2_ttf.lib

But GUESS WHAT. YOU ARE STILL NOT DONE. Now you need GCC 4.9.0. And GUESS WHAT. There's like 10 different versions/permutations of it. You need i686-4.9.0-win32-sjlj-rt_v3-rev2. First, go here for the installer:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/

Run the installer, select:

Version 4.9.0
Architecture i686
Threads win32
Exception sjlj
Build revision 2

I'm not sure if different settings will work, but I'll be damned if I'm going to test it. Go nuts if you're of a mind. Now you have GCC 4.9.0. But YOU ARE STILL NOT DONE. You have to configure Code Blocks to use it. Go to the Settings->Compiler menu. Assuming you installed it to the default path "C:\mingw-w64\i686-4.9.0-win32-sjlj-rt_v3-rev2", hit the "Copy" button to copy your GNU GCC settings. Name it whatever you like, but I would go with "GNU GCC 4.9.0". Change the settings to match where you installed MinGW64, i.e. if you used default settings:

Compiler's installation directory: C:\mingw-w64\i686-4.9.0-win32-sjlj-rt_v3-rev2\mingw32
C Compiler: i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe
C++ Compiler: i686-w64-mingw32-g++.exe
Linker for dynamic libs: i686-w64-mingw32-g++.exe

The rest you can leave same as the old GCC. While you're here, do yourself a HUGE favor and go to the "build options" tab. Set the "number of parallel processes" to something nice like 4 (or more) depending on your hardware. This thing takes long enough to compile in parallel, don't waste time doing it one file at a time. Now, YOU ARE STILL NOT DONE, BUT YOU ARE CLOSE. Go back to the "Project->Build options" menu. Change the "Selected Compiler" to "GNU GCC 4.9.0" or whatever you named it. Click the dropdown box below the "wxSmith" menu item and change "Release" to "Release - Tile Support". Click the "Build->Build" menu item or hit CTRL-F9. Once it's finished building, you can run the game by running your shiny new Cataclysm-Tiles.exe.

I think that's everything, since I decided to clone a new repo just to test this. But considering how long this is, I might have left something out.

Looks about right.
I compiled this once. That's all, just once.
Quickly said f-it the moment it finished.

I suspect that's what EVERYONE said once they got it to compile, hence the lack of proper instructions. The simple fact is nobody really remembers and nobody needs or WANTS to remember.

[i2amroy]

That said if you are willing to compile it without tiles instead of with them, (which is basically what all of the current developers do) then it chops out basically every single one of the dependencies that you guys are having so much trouble with. It's pretty much just fork and compile under Code::Blocks without tiles, no real problems or difficult things at all. (We're looking into getting an open-source CLion license, which should hopefully have some better support for automatically pulling in and setting up dependencies than Code::Blocks does, which should simplify the process).

[Sean Mirrsen]

I have a single folder called WinDepend that holds all required files arrayed as they need to be. All relevant project paths are simplified to "/WinDepend". I had no trouble setting up either Code::Blocks or the GCC compiler.

Of course, it might have changed since I last worked on it.
