SDL_net with SDL 1.3

SDL Development
1

Hi,

Here is my build environment:

Windows 7 x86_64
MinGW32+MSYS

I’m trying to compile SDL_net from source to work with SDL 1.3. I compiled
SDL 1.3 and installed it with absolutely no problem at all (I built it as a
static library, if that makes any difference).
SDL_net, however, wouldn’t build. Here are the steps I took:

$ hg clone http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_net/

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --disable-sdltest --enable-gui=no # Absolutely no problems
reported
$ mingw32-make

I get the following build errors:

C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/sh.exe ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc

It looks like in the middle, there is some sort of an issue using the rm
command, which I’m not sure if that’s the source of the issue or not - I’m
also not sure where I should look to try and fix that.

Anyone have any ideas what I should do to get this working? If not, or it’s
somewhere in the works (but is on low priority), I was debating on using
enet for some networking stuff, so I should be alright regardless.

Thanks gents,
-Alex

$ hg clone http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_net/ (http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_net/)
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --disable-sdltest --enable-gui=no ? # Absolutely no problems reported
$ mingw32-make

Hello Alex.

I can’t say it would make a difference, but could you use make rather than mingw32-make? Sorry for the ridiculous pun, but that might MAKE a difference.

Most forum posts I’ve seen have said to not use mingw32-make.

Or, it could simply be an error in the makefile. I haven’t had a chance to try compiling SDL_net in a while, but I’ll take a look after a while.

For some reason, I thought I tried that after trying mingw32-make, but I
didn’t, and it worked like a charm - thanks for the tip!
I’ll toss that in the sdl wiki :smiley:
