Stupid Compiling Question
-
Ok, So I am a first time poster, long time player, and first time PT Modder.
I am no newb with coding, and I'm familiar with C, so I understand the source and the mods I did, but this is my first time both;
1. Coding C in Linux in Gedit (Fancy text-editor for those of you who do not know)
2. Compiling C both;
a. In Linux
b. Without an actual C studio
So, preferably without downloading an actual studio, (eg, huge monsters like emacs and anjunta,) or doing things with github (Don't want to push my currently worthless crap,) how can I compile my mods on linux?
Thanks Muchly,

we have a tutorial on the wiki for this, but while your here.
gedit aint fancy but it has a C syntax highlighter and i use it along side a terminal emulator.
quite simply cd to the source folder and run make. provided you dont have errors it will exit back to the prompt quite noisily (theres a lot of warnings) and powder should be there ready and waiting for you. -
Hmm, I perused the coding part of the wiki, but saw nothing about C.
Well. That failed. I only edited a few things, but am getting obscene numbers of warning and errors. I'm going to re-download source and compile without modding to make sure it is a problem with my test modding. In the meantime, how might I go about compiling to exe from terminal?
Also, thanks antb, and might I say I'm a huge fan of your mods. :D -
Update- Well, even with a fresh source, I get ridiculous numbers of errors with;
$ sudo su
$ cd Desktop/PTSOURCETEST/
$ make
Any ideas?
Thanks again. -
@devast
Yes, I do, and also Yes. -
*twiddles thumbs*
Ah, Impatience, such a terrible affliction. -
double posting, also a terrible affliction, also good mod bait.
An obscene amount of warnings is normal. The makefile is pre-configured for cross-compiling in theory, however, I don't think its been updated correctly since the source split.
You can try using $ make powder-sse.exe -
Lol, and sorry, but still no luck, and cross-compiling with that line is a no-go.
No matter what I do, it seems that I get the same ridiculous numbers of errors.
Would you mind If I posted a section of the huge block of the output?
