That's for our internal development process. It's usually not the same people working on the game engine and on the file format/decoding. The people working on the game engine don't care about the file formats. And vice versa: the "nerds" working on the file formats and decoding algorithms...

Hi, What would be ScummVM's policy regarding engines (projects) that are split into several DLLs? Is one of the engines already doing that? Is it a problem if one engine appears as two projects in the solution? The reason I'm asking is because we'd like to have: on the one hand, a core library provi...

you should be using the devtools/create_project to generate and update a Visual Studio IDE project file for compilation. Do they add freetype? I'm asking because the downloaded scummvm (1.6) comes with a ready-to-use .sln file for MSVC10, and I would be surprised if it hadn't already been generated...

Hi, Just need a clarification on something: The wiki (here: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Compiling_ScummVM/Visual_Studio#Ready_to_compile_ScummVM ) says to download the libraries archive (very handy by the way!) AND the FreeType library (complete package and developer libraries). Afterwards, it...

There are great new updates to the game!
You guys should check it out.

Maybe one of these works for you: http://www.lucasforums.com/showpost.php?p=1192541&postcount=4 No, that won't do, they are some of those prehistoric tools I mentionned (Akos crashes on Win XP, and Scumm Revisited, even though it's a neat and stable tool, doesn't do the export to standard pictu...

Hi all, I know the answer is probably already in this forum, and I apologize in advance. I've been looking for this in Google, but the issue is that there have been trillions of discontinued tools doing that over the last 15 years, so trying to follow the maze of broken links and unfinished tools is...

Done.

Hi, I'm trying to compile the nightly build with Visual C++ Express 2010. - I've downloaded and installed the package with all pre-compiled libraries - I've run the installation batch (I'm running Windows Server 2003) - I've checked manually that the env. variable SCUMMVM_LIBS was pointing to the ri...

Mingw compiled libraries should go to lib/mingw and the following set of files renamed: - libFLAC.a to libFLAC_static.a - libogg.a to libogg_static.a - libtheora.a to libtheora_static.a - libvorbisfile.a to libvorbisfile_static.a - libz.a to libzlib.a That's exactly what I was in the middle of doin...

I've found the cause: There's a conflict between <scummvm>/common/zlib.h and SCUMMVM_LIBS/include/zlib.h It's caused by the fact that both folders are included in the search path of the compiler by create_project. Since zlib.h is included with the command #include <zlib.h>, there is an ambiguity -- ...

EDIT: see next post

Super useful tip, thanks.
I'll try it as soon as possible.

You keep talking about UNIX :) You always do that. Like you're trying to cast some curse on me. I don't exclusively talk about UNIX, I just explained (...) Hey, that was meant to be a joke. :) About the configure thing: I thought that was only for UNIX... That's why I ignored it! Sorry if I offende...

In case you have zlib installed they should be defined inside zconf.h (which is included in zlib.h). In case you do not have zlib installed they are defined right inside common/unzip.cpp. Hmmm, that's weird, because the compiler doesn't use either definitions. I noticed there is a #if to decide wha...
