[SOLVED] Can't compile Eternity with MSYS2

[HavoX]

I also want to mention that the compilation instructions at GitHub aren't really the best.

Typically we just use cmake and visual studio (Windows) or gcc (Linux). MSYS looks to be adding extra steps and I'm not sure if anyone uses that.

...sigh...

Well, that's the problem. I wanted to use Visual Studio Community, but there were some issues I had with it.
One is the installation size; the more components I add to the installation, the more bloated it becomes (which can wind up becoming more than 20+ GB!). That is NOT what I want.

The other issue (and it's a big one) is that it has a so-called 30-day "trial" that, when it ends, requires activation via a Microsoft Account. Needless to say, when I did try to sign in, I learned that they locked my account. The cheek of those guys! :-(

You could try just downloading the standalone Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019, which you can just install the compiler and build tools binaries and use them normally as a CLI.

In the end the Build Tools for C++ base install size reaches 6 GB + 1,2 GB from the MFC Libraries required to compile Eternity, which is still quite big and bloated if you ask me, but it should be the bare minimum to compile anything with Visual Studio.

 

If you do decide installing it, the build commands are a little diferent. Just use CMake normally but targetting Visual Studio 16 2019 with 

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"

Then to compile the project cd into the build directory and use

msbuild "Eternity Engine.sln" /p:Configuration=Release

For some reason my bash can't recognise msbuild, so this part you can just do in cmd and it should compile just as a normal Visual Studio project.

 

I did try compiling the source myself using only the Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 installation and succeeded, so it should be fine.

 

[HavoX]

PROBLEM SOLVED.

 

I used Visual Studio Code with the Build Tools, and it worked without a hitch.

Microsoft aren't going to lock your account for no reason. You've either misinterpreted what you saw, done something very catastrophically wrong, or forgot something simple (did you remember to accept the account validation email?).

Well, apparently I forgot my Win10 login password so I had to reset it. But that, my friend, is another story ;-)
