Compiling Launcher - Need help !!!!

Post by dassoubarna »

I want to use the launcher for my game. (May be I'll do some modification also)

I have complied launcher very well in my Ubuntu.

But I have faced some problem in windows(Vista).

I am using gcc(with cygwin) as c++ complier in Vista.

I have download wxWidges src and successfully complied and install in windows(cygwin).

After that I have complied launcher succesfully in cygwin.

But the problem is that when I have placed the exe in SandBox folder (with necessary dll's both from cygwin and wx) it is not running and I always get error message from Vista ("Projec2.exe has stopped working"). I also try to run it from the cygwin console, but there's the same problem. :cry:

But the launcher.exe distributed with SandBox working very well.

Could any one tell me how do I do the compilation of launcher in windows to run it succesfully ?????? :?:

I am sorry for my bad english as it's not my mother toungh!!!!

I think I have found out the problem behind it.

As the exe I have made with the use of gcc in Cygwin is a console application (most probably in the old DOS format ) which is not supported in Vista.

I can remember that I had a same kind of problem when I was trying to play the old Prince of Persia I. I had used a application named DOS Box http://www.dosbox.com/ to play the game in the console.

So I think I have to use the default launcher without making any modification in it.
