Question about compiling

[KuroShiro]

So, I've been building from the trunk through most of the time testing SCI games, but recently I had to re-install MinGW. Now, for some reason whenever I build the console is no longer enabled, and there's no console output even if I run it from the command prompt. It used to be there, building with the same configuration as far as I can tell. Is there some compiler setting or configure option that I am missing? Also, is there any known reason that the revision number doesn't show up on the main menu when building with MinGW?

I think it might be disabled because sdl-config sets "-mwindows" as flag, which should disable the console. I am not sure about that though, it's been too long since I last used MinGW to compile ScummVM.

Yes, you don't have a command line SVN client installed. Actually the daily (and also the release) Win32 builds are made via MinGW.

Thanks for the info. I'll see about messing with the sdl-config. And I've just been downloading the source from the sourceforge page, not using svn. Guess that makes sense.

Ah yes, it of course also only works when you build from a SVN checkout itself.
