I can't build using just the windev.zip on Windows #56

Closed valiant8086 closed 3 weeks ago

valiant8086 commented 3 weeks ago

I tried to build, thinking if I can get to the point where I can see if I'm breaking things resulting in the code not running anymore I might be able to start contributing simple things to the actual code.

On the one hand, I'm not sure what testing is going to look like. Do I just move the final .exe into replace the one in c:\nvgt and then try to run an nvgt script, ideally one that would take advantage of what ever change I'm trying to create?

Here is what I got when I ran scons. It sounds to me like I'm missing Angelscript.obj? I don't have an angelscript.obj in scr, I have an .h and a .cpp. I just pulled and I just downloaded windev following the link in readme.md.

This is probably super obvious? But running on Windows 10, ltsc 2021 x64.

Hi, Sorry about that, the readme is making an assumption that it shouldn't and assumes the user has a dev environment on the system they want to install using. I'll add some clarifications to that document, thanks for the reminder! You want to download visual studio build tools or visual studio 2022 with the desktop development with c++ workload.

OK, I updated the readme to clarify this in commit 8089fe458331460ce744dcf9b6b69c5c8e0527f4

I accidentally forgot to close this issue from that commit's message, so doing that here. Please feel free to open another issue if you still have issues building after the development environment is established.
