How to install mcrcon on windows #63

Closed tillx4 closed 3 years ago

tillx4 commented 3 years ago

I don't have a lot of experience in all of this and I have a few questions. Do I run the installation in the command line? I cloned the reposetory, did cd mcrcon but when I try to run make it prompts an error message along the lines of "unkown command" (I don't know the exact translation because my cmd is not in english). The install.md says something about C Library and POSIX getopt support dependencys but I have no clue how I would install these if it was the problem. Can someone help me how to install mcrcon properly?

You will need to install MinGW for it to work.

You can also download precompiled binary for Windows: https://github.com/Tiiffi/mcrcon/releases/download/v0.7.1/mcrcon-0.7.1-windows-x86-32.zip

You can always find latest releases here: https://github.com/Tiiffi/mcrcon/releases/latest

When i run mcrcon.exe from the precompiled binary, it shows up for a few milliseconds then its gone. How to fix this?

You have to run the launch.bat and follow the instructions, because the .exe needs parameters. You could also run the .exe via the cmd and pass arguments in the command but I don't know the syntax for that.

mcrcon is command line tool so you have to open command line (cmd.exe) first and then run mcrcon.

ps. Older versions of Windows package used to have "launch.bat" script to start mcrcon and query for login. Maybe I should start including it in the further Windows releases again.
