[TUTORIAL] How to Compile Teeworlds Under Windows (Page 1 of 4)

I'm gonna be 100% honest.

What does compiling do or what do you get from it? is it to mod gametypes?
(Then i mean exactly what does it give you?)

Each time I have to compile, I have to re-run "%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86" so it was annoying to have to change a 9.0 to 10.0 lol i'm just lazy.

Do you realize you can put that in a simple bat file, so you won't have to copy paste it in the console?

Yes, but like I said. I'm lazy

Well, because programmers are lazy people they make scripts to do stuff for them. Like compiling.
Here's mine:

@echo off
color 0a

:: Check if we already have the tools in the environment
if exist "%VCINSTALLDIR%" (
    goto compile
)


:: Check for Visual Studio
if exist "%VS100COMNTOOLS%" (
    set VSPATH="%VS100COMNTOOLS%"
    goto set_env
)
if exist "%VS90COMNTOOLS%" (
    set VSPATH="%VS90COMNTOOLS%"
    goto set_env
)
if exist "%VS80COMNTOOLS%" (
    set VSPATH="%VS80COMNTOOLS%"
    goto set_env
)

echo You need Microsoft Visual Studio 8, 9 or 10 installed
pause
exit

:: Setup the environment
:set_env
call %VSPATH%vsvars32.bat
ping -n 1 localhost >nul

::Check for bam
if exist "../bam-0.4.0/bam.exe" (
    set BAM="../bam-0.4.0/bam.exe"
    goto setbampar
)
if exist "../bam/bam.exe" (
    set BAM="../bam/bam.exe"
    goto compile
)
if exist "bam.exe" (
    set BAM="bam.exe"
    goto compile
)
if exist "../bam/src/bam.exe" (
    set BAM="../bam/src/bam.exe"
    goto compile
)
if exist "../bam-0.2.0/src/bam.exe" (
    set BAM="../bam-0.2.0/src/bam.exe"
    goto compile
) else goto nobam
pause

:nobam
cls
echo.
echo [ERROR]No bam found!
echo.
pause >nul
exit

:: Compile
:compile
@echo === Building Teeworlds Server===
@call %BAM% server_release -j 4
@echo === Finished ===
echo.

:: Ending/Or not :D
echo Press any Key to Compile again...
pause >nul
color 0c
echo === Again :D ===
ping -n 2 localhost >nul
color 0a
cls
goto compile
exit

Just copy-paste it in a .bat file and run put the file in your sourcefolder.
Put bam.exe in C:\Windows\system32 and you can call it from everywhere.

Nice script. When I do something constantly, yea, I'll make a script. But I've just been compiling mods to help people upon request. So I might make my own.

Don't you need to add some other files to system32 too, cuz doesn't bam need some other stuff?

You couldn't have said something more contradictory. You're lazy so you're not copying the line of code to a simple bat file that would allow you not to do it at each execution? That's anti-laziness.

you need to compile bam for 64bit and then compile everything with this x64 bam.
If you use a 64bit commandline and the 32bit bam binary you wont be able to compile for x64, you need both the x64 bam and the x64 command line.

Looks like the compiler has destroyed the source files after compiling.
One-way-compiler. Nice Idea.

Well, looks like whoever made the graphic was just really lazy and just downloaded the source and then downloaded the release package but a one way compiler would be nice. easy enough to do with an encrypted makefile

True that, very few people need to test their binaries before releasing, not like the sources would be useful when you already have the binaries.

Yup. What do people think about a linux tutorial too? Mainly need: a compilation of websites to get the needed packages.
