Re: beginning GSOC preparations: was Re: [pygame] Thank You



Did you install the Msys autoconf, automake and m4 packages from sourceforge? They are found under the MSYS Supplementary section of the MinGW download page. I suggest using the most recent versions available.

Its failing on SDL. I tried running .autogen.sh in the directory, and this is what I got. I just made sure all the extra packages had been extracted to where they should be... including the update automake, autoconf and m4 tars.

This may take a while ...

    Which package are you trying to build. Unless the thing crashed
    completely msys_build_deps.py should have displayed a listing at
    the end showing where it stalled, that is, it will show which DLL
    were not installed. The packages taken straight form SVN may not
    have a .configure file. msys_build_deps.py will create those
    automatically for SDL, SDL_mixer and smpeg. If any other packages
    were taken from SVN then it will fail. To manually create a
    configure file start the Msys console, go into the package's root
    directory and type './autogen.sh'.

    Anyway, the general Unix steps msys_build_deps.py takes to
    installing a package are:

    ./autogen.sh   # only for SVN packages
    ./configure
    make
    make install
    strip /usr/local/bin/<lib-name>.DLL

    The msys shell scripts run to build the packages are found at the
    end of msys_build_deps.py

        Okay, thanks! It went past that, but now its getting an error
        that says:
        /bin/sh: line 17: ./configure: No such file or directory

        Any idea whats going on here?

           Hi Tyler,

           I wrote msys_build_deps.py and look after the Windows
           dependencies. I haven't seen this error before. I run the
        program
           on both Win 98 and XP. If you are using Msys 1.0.10 try
        upgrading
           to 1.0.11. I only user 1.0.10 because 1.0.11 doesn't work
        on Win
           98 and I have limited access to XP. Msys 1.0.11 will be
        needed to
           build ffmpeg anyway, since the bash shell in 1.0.10 is
        apparently
           too old for the ffmpeg configure script. If you continue having
           problems then just use the prebuilt dependencies for now:

http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/prebuilt-pygame1.9.0-msvcr71-win32.zip
             (for Python 2.4-2.5)
           (md5sum 0c9b5c65dbd10b5469d2523cf58b7890)

http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/prebuilt-pygame1.9.0-msvcr90-win32.zip
             (for Python 2.6-3.x)
           (md5sum 8dcd7e7c840d656c3ca7576095777c81)

           Install the prebuilt directory into the Pygame root
        directory, run
           config.py and answer 'n' to msys built, 'y' to use prebuilts.

           I suppose now I must really try to get ffmpeg built.

               Python is installed. Msys is installed, but throwing
        that error.

               And no worries. I just wasn't clear enough. :)

                      The error says that it "Couldn't reserve space
        for cygwin's
                      heap, Win32 error 6" when sh.exe was executed.

                  Why are you trying to install Python under CygWin?
        From what I
                  understand, most programmers consider that a
        separate platform
                  from Windows. You should probably try to install the
        native
                  windows version, instead of the linux version
        running under
                  cygwin. Sorry if I misunderstood you.
