Can someone compile this?

[Carpaccio]

Yeah, I ran into a problem with certain files, and the solution is unfortunately source-only. I was hoping someone could compile these for windows use so I can get to work.

Xoreos-Tools

I can't seem to do it myself, no matter what method I try. It's extremely irritating for me so I have no other option than to ask for help here.

Compiling C is annoying. It would probably be simpler to just make my own program using the code as documentation for the formats.

What files are you looking to convert? As always samples are handy.

Hej, founder / lead dev of the xoreos project here.

You know, you could have just asked us.
We have a "How to compile xoreos" page on our wiki, which goes into this a bit. We don't support cmake for xoreos-tools (yet?), though, so that's a bit more fiddly for Windows users (essentially, you'd have to install and use MinGW there).

To make it a bit easier for you, I went ahead and added a (pre-)release with binaries to the xoreos-tools GitHub repository: https://github.com/xoreos/xoreos-tools/r...Bg041111f5 . It contains precompiled binaries for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, each both for x86 and x86_64 architectures. They all should work, but since I'm GNU/Linux-only, I've only tested the 32-bit/64-bit Linux binaries and the 32-bit Windows binaries (using Wine). So please tell me if any of them don't work.

Please keep in mind, though, that these are all command-line tools. They don't have any GUI at all. I did start writing a graphical tool-thing, Phaethon (using wxWidgets), but it never really got far; it's not really useable. If anybody wants to take on development of this graphical tool (or anything else in xoreos, for that matter), please don't hesitate to contact us!

I am trying to compile xoeros so that I can look into sonic chronicles - the dark brotherhood, and using cmake and mingw I am having problems with them, like for mingw I am stuck on the Instillation manager with packages, and with cmake I don't know where to select for the source and binary locations and I keep getting errors.

like for mingw I am stuck on the Instillation manager with packages, and with cmake I don't know where to select for the source and binary locations and I keep getting errors.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by any of this.

Could you please elaborate on this? What exactly are you doing, what would be the expected outcome, and what happens instead? What do these errors say?

In general, though, I don't really have that much experience with Windows anymore; I'm GNU/Linux-only for over 10 years now. And as far as I understand, collecting all the libraries xoreos depends on is quite a chore on Windows. While on Linux, you can simple install them through the distribution's package manage, you will have to download and install them all manually (possibly even compile them yourself, if there's no up-to-date binary download available). Personally, I find Windows very hostile to developers, but YMMV.

I can't really help you there if that is your problem, I'm afraid. Sorry :/. Creating easily downloadable packages with precompiled binaries for all libraries, for both MinGW and MSVC (possibly for different versions of MSVC?), both 32-bit and 64-bit, that's on the TODO list. But this requires somebody with more experience in Windows development than me.
