Question from newbie about compiling ScummVM

Agusia · Post by **Agusia** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 11:05 pm

Hello Everyone.

I've downloaded the source code but i don't know how to compile it.

I've played a little with Linux and I always wanted to know how to compile programs and i think that ScummVM is a great way to start.

I've tried some basic programming (Hello World

) but I don't know how to start. Maybe someone will give me a few tips.

Thanks in advance for every reply.

Sorry for my bad English, hope that You'll know what i meant.

It'd help if you gave a little more information, such as your OS, what compiler you're trying to use, etc. It's quite easy to compile on Linux, a bit harder on other OSes.

Sorry, I completely forgot about that.

My adventure with Linux was very short.

I would like to compile it on Windows. I'm not sure what compiler I want to use.

I've got Visual Studio 2012 if that's the answer to that question.

Awesome.

Thank You very much. :*
I'm so ashamed right now, I should have found that by myself.

I'll ask here if I will have any problem.

I've got some errors while compiling:

It means that it can't find the theora library. Mostly likely is that you haven't actually installed it. The 'precompiled libraries' includes both it and other needed libraries. I'm just not sure if it supports Visual Studio 2012 yet. But if not, the library files should still work, and you should be able to manually copy the include files and .lib files.

I have no idea how to force Visual Studio 2012 to see these libraries.
