Blue screen after compiling
-
I compiled powder toy, but it just goes blue:
output in the console:
First-chance exception at 0x001ded70 in tpt.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000004db.
The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0x1064) has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).
The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0xe38) has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).
The program '[2400] tpt.exe: Native' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff). -
compiler error, it must have attempted to overwrite something it shouldn't, like active memory.
EDIT: I mean, the game tried to overwrite something because it was compiled wrong. Check preprocessor, check for SSE2, and dependancies.

I got the same thing today, both with release and debug. I am certain my builds are okay, yet it seems the latest source itself is unstable. Let's wait. -
Odd ... since i'm compiling with visual studio too and don't get any problem.
Try going into PowderToySDL.cpp and finding these lines:#ifndef DEBUG
//Get ready to catch any dodgy errors
signal(SIGSEGV, SigHandler);
signal(SIGFPE, SigHandler);
signal(SIGILL, SigHandler);
signal(SIGABRT, SigHandler);
#endif
And commenting them out or something temporarily, then it will let you debug again and see where the real error is. I need to fix compiling in debug mode with visual studio having these bluescreens ... which I already know how to do -
Im not debugging, Im actually releasing, like the tutorial said.
But after commenting them, i got a VS violation warning:
Unhandled exception at 0x000ded70 in tpt.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000004db.
But it must be my own flaw. I will download the source again. Anyways, thnks for the help, if i keep getting erros i let you know :)
Edit: ok, still getting the same error. -.-

yeah, but when you run something from visual studio it's probably also loading the debugger. If you aren't, you will probably want to debug the crash, so I would go comment out those lines and see if you can tell me what line it crashes on. -
Im not really good using debug, but it shows a lot of errors, (weird, when compiling for released it showed no errors... ) like:
src\pim\Machine.cpp(6): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'simulation/Simulation.h': No such file or directory
rc\pim\Generator.cpp(4): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'Format.h': No such file or directory
1>src\Misc.cpp(5): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'regex.h': No such file or directory
desktop\tpt source\src\gui\save\LocalSaveActivity.h(3): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'Activity.h': No such file or director
desktop\tpt source\src\cat\TPTSTypes.h(6): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'gui/interface/Point.h': No such file or directory
And much more of these, like, a hundred. And its weird because i checked and they are all in the directory... wth is that?

In the compiling guide, you probably missed the step where you had to add the include directories. You have to add src/ as one of them.
Edit: actually it's because when following the guide, you only followed the steps while changing the release mode settings. Which is really annoying that visual studio does that, I used to do that all the time. You might have to follow parts of the guide again to see. Or maybe i'll figure out the error on my own somehow ...
