first build on winVista not so good
Posted: 2010-07-24, 19:19
Hi
Just downloaded Cafu source and SCons on WinVista SP2 and tried to build, with partial success.
CaWE build failed as my wxWidgets is in a nonstandard place. I put the root directory for wxW in the config file but some headers were not found. Do you think I can easily make SCons know my layout? I would prefer not to do a standard install of wxWidgets, unless absolutely necessary.
I did get a release Cafu.exe; copied to Cafu root & tried running it. After a lot of weird screen res changes and black screens, it disappeared (fortunately without taking the OS with it). This box has an HP w2207 wide monitor and nVidia geForce 6150 video. That monitor does not work well at other than its native resolution, which is 1680 x 1050. Can you suggest any way I could get Cafu to run in the existing screen resolution?
In general I am impressed with how easily I have gotten this far. Cafu seems rather well organized compared to other big open source projects I've built.
Regards, Tom
