Use Visual Studio on Windows and CodeBlocks on Linux.

Codeblocks does not work, as it tries to make its own build configs, I think.
Look here: https://acrf.victorz.ca/thread-125.html
If you are using Linux, install all the *-dev libs neccessary and then make it from command line ('make all'). Using Windows I think you need Visual C++, as MinGw/Gcc needs all the libs installed by hand.

He's not even using Linux (see the D:\ path in his post).

rXn make install does everything you need. I think make all would just repeat some things

When I look what files are in the sources folder. All libraries I find are lib files, that are supposed to be compatible with VC++. Or I didn't correctly identified the ones used on Linux, or they are not in this folder.

According to me, uses VC++ is a bad way, even on Windows.

Where the librarie that are used when ACR is compiled with CodeBlocks on Linux are they supposed to be ?

Could someone with VC++ installed please compile it for Windows/32 and post it here??

Instead ask for compiling by a VC++ user. We'd better work on a way to compile it with CodeBlocks on Windows.

Remain VC++ dependent is out of question.

If you still need a linux 32 bit build I can build one.

@ruler501 Compile with CodeBlocks don't mean compile on Linux and compile on Windows don't mean compile with VC++. Angry

If I asked Where the librarie that are used when ACR is compiled with CodeBlocks on Linux are they supposed to be ?, it's to know if the libraries used on linux are also in the sources folder or already on Linux; and what are these linux libraries, to find their for Windows MinGW GCC counterpart. Of course there also are other problems to solve, like the problem with the makefile.

According to me, saying to Windows users things like If you are a Windows user who want to make an ACR source mod, you have the choice between three ways : to switch to Linux and make an executable you'll can't use on Windows, to use the non free VC++ (maybe gratis but non libre and non free software) or to abandon your mod idea., it's a very bad idea.

Ok, I know this post can be seen as aggressive but, for me, find a way to compile ACR with CodeBlock on Windows, it's very important.

With Codeblocks on Linux would be very nice, too... I have tried for quite a long time, but somehow it does not work. There is no need for it on Linux as make from commandline does the same stuff. On Windows I think you need the devellopment versions as well as the "real" versions of that libs (quite a lot, I think) to compile with Gcc, while VC++ works with the static libs. Cygwin might work as it uses many Linux-specific libs, but MinGw won't without a painful amount of modifications Sad

.
I myself think there is no need to use Gcc on Windows, because VC++ is a Microsoft tool and Microsoft still knows best how to deal with Windows code and apps (I hope).

I don't have VC++ and I have a fucking slow internet connection, so please could anyone with VC++ installed compile (for Win/32) and upload it here??
