One Hour One Life Forums

spamvictim,

A script that grabs all the tools, code and libraries automatically would be pretty cool.

Though, download locations change. For example imagemagick deletes old downloads. That is why the other forum thread has broken links. They don't keep them around, so those would have to be mirrored. And, would people trust an unofficial mirror?

That is why I provided a link to the folder instead of a direct link to the file, and then just mentioned which version I was using.

Also, if Jason requires new features in a newer imagemagick it might break to keep using an old one. Or, if a newer version of the library causes ohol to stop working, that could likewise be a problem. I managed to get it working with the latest version in this case, but that isn't guaranteed to work with the next version of imagemagick that comes out.

I'm definitely not trying to come off as confrontational or disregarding your ideas.

Well in my case, I don't use a VM image. It is just a few tools and the checked out source code. There's no point in me providing you a ready to go bundled "system" because it would have to be reconfigured each time something changes (tools update, libraries change, even jason's OHOL changes). It is better that you set up your own development environment and learn to compile. Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. As long as you follow the instructions, it will compile.

Thanks for the hard work on making a cross compile tutorial. I also want to leave this here in case anyone wants to compile natively instead.

Install msys on Windows: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started

Grab and extract SDL:
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel … w32.tar.gz

Grab and extract ImageMagick:
https://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/

I downloaded, ImageMagick-7.0.7-30-portable-Q16-x86.zip, but they're always removing older versions and releasing newer ones so be aware this version might not be available when you try to download, so just grab whatever is the latest x86 portable binaries.

Checkout minorGems, OneLife, OneLifeData7 from https://github.com/jasonrohrer
You can use TortoiseGit for this: https://tortoisegit.org/

From a cmd.exe prompt do the following from the extracted imagemagick directory:

copy magick.exe c:\MinGW\bin\convert.exe
copy magic.xml c:\MinGW\bin

From the extracted SDL directory in a prompt type:

copy bin\* c:\MinGW\bin
mkdir c:\MinGW\include\SDL
copy SDL\* c:\MinGW\include\SDL
copy lib\* c:\MinGW\lib

In gameSource/Makefile find COMPILE_FLAGS and append (with a preceding space): -I/usr/include -L/usr/lib

Run:
c:\mingw\msys\1.0\msys.bat

From the msys bash shell do the following in the folder that holds minorGems, OneLife, OneLifeData7:

find . -type f -name configure | xargs unix2dos

cd OneLife
./configure 3
cd gameSource
make

cd ../server
./configure 3
make

cd ../build
./makeDistributionWindows #

Change the # to the version number you want to build, e.g. 78.

It will produce a folder named something like this:
C:\src\OneLife\build\windows\OneLife_78

Make sure to never commit your email or account key ini files publicly from the settings folder.

Thanks to http://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=423 for some of the steps. I had to correct a few things.

I have confirmed I was able to play with these steps and it is much easier than setting up a vbox with ubuntu.

It's pretty touching people still called it the town of Saint Eva.
