CaWE Linux error

This is just a little error: CaWE wants me to specify .exe files for the programs (CaBSP, CaPVS, CaLight etc.). It doesn't matter yet, because it doesn't have the compile menu though...

EDIT: Sorry, I should have been clearer. I am in the CaWE Configuration dialogue, and when I click "Browse" to select the Game Executable, CaBSP Executable etc., it wants me to select a windows exe, even though I am using Linux. So should I be able to select the Linux binaries? I thought that it wouldn't be able to compile the maps without them...

Stephen, thanks for your error report.
However, could you please be a little more precise on where it wants you to specify the .exe files?
Btw., the compile menu that comes with the next release is supposed and tested to work under Linux, too.

Hi Stephen,

you can specify those exe locations very easy:

File -> Configre CaWE

There you have to set the paths to the exe files and it will work :)
For further information, please see this Ca3DE Wiki article.

So you're saying that if I specficy the windows executables for Ca3DE, CaBSP, CaPVS and CaLight, in the CaWE Config (which I already did) it will compile with them, on Linux? I would have thought that you need to select the Linux binaries, but this is not possable, as the dialogue will only let me select EXEs...

Well, of couse you can not (trivially) use the Windows binaries under Linux.
Do I assume right that the "Browse" buttons only allow you to select .exe files even under Linux?
This of course is a minor bug, but you can work around it easily by writing the paths and names to the Linux binaries into the associated text fields manually.

OK, cool. I'll put them in manually.

I've fixed this now, future non-Windows releases of CaWE will allow you to select any files with the Browse buttons, not only those matching the "*.exe" wildcard.

The fix will be included with the next SDK release.
