Fixed 32 bit builds not working on Windows in Release mode with MinGW

[JaviCervera]

Thanks, Mike, that fixed it! Now I have another problem, which is that now dlls are not copied to the output folder, while they were being correctly copied when using MinGW, so the program crashes on startup.

 

[MikeHart]

Mmh, it does so for me. It copies now OpenAL.dll all the time into the Release32, Release64, Debug32 or Debug64 folder.
Did you got the latest version and rebuild Trans from GH?

 

[JaviCervera]

I just replaced the old targets/glfw3/template/msvc folder in my Cerberus installation with the one in the zip you provided, and deleted the build folder of the project before building again. Is it required to rebuild transcc from GH then?

 

[MikeHart]

Yes.

Trying to run the ps1 script from PowerShell causes it to open on Notepad for some reason. It is probably something related to permissions, but I don't have time to dig deeper into it. My main OS is Linux, and Cerberus is working flawlessly there. I can wait until the next release to have MSVC working

BTW, I configured Cerberus to use an old version of MinGW that was in my old Monkey installation, and 32 bit executables built with it worked perfectly fine. The version is MinGW-W64-builds-4.2.0, which was built with the following args:

--mode=gcc-5.3.0 --buildroot=/c/mingw530 --rt-version=v4 --rev=0 --bootstrap --jobs=2 --threads=posix --exceptions=dwarf --arch=i686 --bin-compress

I'll try to use that setup on a newer Mingw-W64 version, since I usually configure it with Win32 threads and SJLJ exceptions, so chaging that might make it work.

I'm trying to build the latest Cerberus from GitHub but getting the following error:

I guess you don't have qt5.9.2 installed.

Edit: Yup, works fine. Even with MSVC 2019 being used to build Ted.

 

[Amon]

I have QT 5.9.2 installed. It still fails with the same errors. What else do I need installed to use with the build command?

 

[MikeHart]

MSVC 2017 or 2019 for building Ted, then QT5.9.2 and MingW to build Trans, MakeDocs, CServer

If I understand that error message correctly it indicates that it can not find QMake, which is a tool that ships with QT5.9.2

Thank you for the details, Mike. It's all built and working now.
