I'm new to this and wondering

[DeceptedPar]

how do you compile the full re-write, I've looked and can't find anything, I'm using windows if that helps

[LAK132]

you'll need git, meson and the latest visual studio (with build tools).

setup:

1. open command prompt
2. cd to the directory where you want to clone the repo (!!!! command prompt may default to System32, DO NOT CLONE HERE!!!! change the directory to something else!!!)
3. clone the repo using git git clone https://github.com/LAK132/SourceExplorer (just downloading it doesn't work I don't think)
4. cd into the repo cd SourceExplorer
5. run git checkout 2.0-full-rewrite
6. run git submodule update --init --recursive
7. run setup.bat

compiling:

1. run compile.bat
2. run build\srcexp.exe

if there are any errors feel free to let me know

[DeceptedPar]

it seems to be cloning the master github branch

[LAK132]

ah, after cloning and cding in, run git checkout 2.0-full-rewrite

[DeceptedPar]

aftermath of running setup.bat

[DeceptedPar]

ok, so I fixed it by allowing users to change files, now I'm getting this when running compile.bat

[LAK132]

you didn't change directory before running git clone so you've put the repo in System32, this is very bad! start from the start and make sure to change directory to the desktop or something in step 2.

[DeceptedPar]

oh. alright

[DeceptedPar]

odd. I'm getting the same message

[DeceptedPar]

this is from start to finish

[DeceptedPar]

and I'm still getting the same message when running compile.bat

[DeceptedPar]

I dont get what I'm doing wrong

[LAK132]

there's no errors in that screenshot? you need to continue with step 7

[DeceptedPar]

had trouble getting this image thank god I got this now I can see what the problem is

[DeceptedPar]

meson-log.txt I dont understand this maybe you can help me

[LAK132]

ah I've committed something I shouldn't have, give me a moment to clean that up

[DeceptedPar]

alright

[LAK132]

from inside the repo run git pull --ff-only then try and compile again

[DeceptedPar]

huh.

[LAK132]

git pull --ff-only and try again

[DeceptedPar]

it's working

[DeceptedPar]

huh...

[LAK132]

ah sorry, committed the wrong thing. pull and try again

[DeceptedPar]

alright

[DeceptedPar]

oops

[DeceptedPar]

I'll tell you if I get the same error message again

[DeceptedPar]

I didn't get the message this time

[DeceptedPar]

damn, I thought we didn't need open gl anymore

[DeceptedPar]

[LAK132]

build\srcexp.exe -nogl

[DeceptedPar]

dont see it
