Installing Gamestone on Vista 64

Hello everyone.  This chronicles my installation of gamestone on my vista 64 laptop.  Here, I list what I did, any problems I had, and how I solved them (if they are solved).

1) Install MinGW.  --> http://www.mingw.org/  I installed the MinGW-5.1.4.exe.
2) Set up system environment path variable.  Instructions for this can be found at:
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/InstallationHOWTOforMinGW
I found that this part is needed.  MinGW may not work correctly without this step.
3)  Install MSYS.  This can also be downloaded from mingw.org.  I installed the MSYS-1.0.11-rc-1.exe.
4)  Install 64 bit version of TortoiseSVN. --> http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads
I downloaded: TortoiseSVN-1.6.2.16344-x64-svn-1.6.2.msi
5) After installing TortoiseSVN, create a directory in which you will install gamestone.  I called mine GS and put it in my user home.  You can put it anywhere you want.  For this instruction manual, I'll use the path C://Gamestone though. 
6) Right click the directory you made, and from the drop down menu, click SVN Checkout.  For where to download from, type in "http://gamestone.googlecode.com/svn".
7) Once it is downloaded, open up the command prompt, and type in "cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ." in the directory.
8) Open up MSYS and navigate to the directory, and then type "make". 

Notes:
1)  Sometimes tortoise svn goes awol.  For instance, I install tortoise svn and then i can checkout, but then I reboot, and all of the tortoise svn options are missing from my right click menu. 
2) SFML/Window/Backend.mm.obj cannot find this file.  I went in to the Libs.txt textfile and commented out that line with "#" at the beginning of the line.
3) Gamestone does not run.  Still working on this one.

Re: Installing Gamestone on Vista 64

Good work, thanks!

Though I'd add, you should be using the MinGW compiler set from:
http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/
instead of the "official" ones.  Those are pre-GCC 4.3 and are unsupported (and you might have compiling issues because of that)

Welcome to the site! :D


I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line "No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!" (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)
