Problems with CServer and error compiling for Desktop

[Hardcoal]

i was trying on mojo2.. and fantomcx


anyway ive another more urgent questions..

- Just not long ago. whenever i wanted to compile using cerberusX to HTML5 target, it opened a little "cerberus X miniserver".
and i could compile as much as i like when this window remained open..

now. suddenly he forces me to close this window before I can compile again..
why is that? and can it be restored to normal?

- im trying to compile to desktop and i get this error

mingw32-make: *** [build/Release64/context.o] Error 1
TRANS FAILED: Error executing 'mingw32-make ARCH="64" CCOPTS=" -m64 -fpic -O3 -DNDEBUG" LDOPTS=" -m64 -s -LD:/PORTABLE/Cerberus/libs/Win64" LIBOPTS=" -lopenal32" OUT="Release64/CerberusGame"', return code=2

Exit code: -1

Never had this problem with cserver and never heard about it. I recommend restarting your computer and what about virus scanners you have that might block communication?

Regarding the second problem. Do you have MingW installed? The one we recommend in the docs? Did you set the path to it in the config file?

Btw. I recommend posting different topics in the propriet sub forum next time

I reinstalled MinGW to the one that Cerberus X automatically install and same error.. so..
I dunno..

Ill keep trying .. thanks

CX does not install any compiler. You have to do this yourself. Please post the path to your MingW directory and attach your config file. Also there is no installation. Just download the version we recommend, unzip it at a location of your choice and point the path in the config file to it.

I hope you are using TED and not a 3rd party ide. If you do use another one, I suggest using Ted at least once to see if you get the same error there.

Setting up the desktop target is damn easy.

I will have a guess that you've got the latest version MinGW32-w64 installed?
MinGW32-w64 64 bit versions after 8.1.0 are know to have issues with not only CerberusX, but also wxWidgets.

The HTML5 target doesn't require any compiler. The original MonkeyX was release with only being able to create HTML5 output. If you wanted to create applications for other targets, then a licence had to be bought. It would have saved the original author a headache creating a demo version and having to pay for a licence to use Qt for the IDE.

MinGW is only required if you intend to use the C++ Tools target. If you want to release desktop GLFW applications, you should go with Visual Studio.

On the HTML issues. Test out different web browsers.

the reason i was trying to compile to desktop is because i thought i may be faster
since the html5 is slow and also now i have to close the server each time i want to recompile

im not sure what version of mingw i got..i simple let the Blide editor install automatically what it had

 

[MikeHart]

We recommend a version in the documentation.

Especially the targets section.

since the html5 is slow

You would be surprised how fast it actually is.

im not sure what version of mingw i got..i simple let the Blide editor install automatically what it had

Blide supports Cerberus X? First time I heard about it hat it does. Sorry can't help you with that.

 

[Hardcoal]

omg.. sorry i meant Jungle.. not blide. lol

 

[MikeHart]

The only thing I can think of is a wrong version of Jungle and/or MingW. Maybe wrong settings in the config file. You don’t want or can not share more information and don’t follow our suggestions. I can’t help you then.

my computer is acting weird lately.. i had dll errors that were caused by ram hardware errors..
and things dont work as they should.
i even ran a virtual machine and they still didnt work properly ..

i know it sound wild .. but i think my mother board is flawed..
im gonna do bios update and see

@Hardcoal How old is the motherboard and power supply?
Has the system been over clocked?
