Unable to build from latest commit

[stayupthetree]

I get the following 4 errors from Visual Studio when trying to build. http://prntscr.com/e9a35n

[sanjay900]

I get the same. I have a feeling some files were not pushed.

[sanjay900]

Still have the same problem after 05c4801

[sanjay900]

Still a problem after a860691

[retinoic]

several of the necessary files can be found on madmonkey's hakchi repo in /mod/hakchi, with the exception of rsync

[sanjay900]

Yeah, but even then, we need rsync for any of this to work.
also, still broken as of 8c4af66

[sanjay900]

I think the issue here is that the .gitignore is ignoring all bin folders, which means that all the bin folders that should be being uploaded are being ignored.

[sanjay900]

By accident, it looks bin/ was added to the .gitignore and this is excluding all bin folders which really isnt helpful. this is also why all the bin files are missing from the retroarch mod as well.

[sanjay900]

#98

[sanjay900]

That would explain why the issue never appeared for @ClusterM and why it has not been solved in the last few commits.

[bobskorn]

I still can get it to build after patch @sanjay900 still getting missing file errors

[sanjay900]

Yeah, this is something @ClusterM needs to do accept, then he needs to push.
Essentially, without the patch, git is stopping him from uploading the required files for us to compile.
Only @ClusterM has the files we need, i can't be bothered trying to compile rsync myself.

[bobskorn]

Ah I see. Thanks for figuring it out!

[sanjay900]

I had an issue where something like this happened to me, so i figured id look into it haha

[sanjay900]

I just really want this retroarch mod haha, im curious how he got it to work with the built in save system

[bobskorn]

You and me both my friend.

The GitHub Desktop app provided a default .gitignore that excludes /bin. Without it, when you use the app to try to sync your fork to the origin, it treats all of the files that end up being generated in /bin/Debug or /bin/Release during compilation as changed files. While the default .gitignore worked to properly exclude those, it sounds like it unfortunately also caught up files in other /bin sub-folders such as the Linux executables that are needed.

[sanjay900]

Oh i see, what you want to ignore then is /bin not bin/

[bobskorn]

@sanjay900 did you get the new commit to build properly? I'm still getting errors in Visual Studio

[sanjay900]

Yeah, that are now files missing from tar. Thats easy to fix though, im just copying tar from git bash.

[bobskorn]

Can you tell me how?

[sanjay900]

Assuming you have git bash installed
go into project -> hakchi_gui properties -> build events
then replace the pre command with

set PATH="C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin"
cd $(ProjectDir)user_mods\retroarch.hmod
bash -c "tar -czvf retroarch.hmod *"
mkdir "$(TargetDir)user_mods\"
move /Y "$(ProjectDir)user_mods\retroarch.hmod\retroarch.hmod" "$(TargetDir)user_mods\"

It was proving way too much of a hassle to decouple tar from bash, so im just running it in bash until we get a proper fix. It now compiles and runs with that change.

At the end of the day, the current problem is that a dll file called msys-1.0.dll is missing.

[bobskorn]

I didn't but I will in a min thanks

[stepik]

Cluster added missed files

[stayupthetree]

Still won't build

[sanjay900]

Then again, when i use this build, my nes bootloops, so i dont know what to do at this point.
And that happens even if all i upload is a single nes game. Which means it is not retroarch causing problems.

[stayupthetree]

I can't even get an executable out of it, so you are at least further than me

[bobskorn]

me either

[sanjay900]

If you still can't get this to work, the other option is to just delete the build step entirely and just make the tarball yourself and drop it in.

[ajmi982]

can you explain that last comment sanjay900? Im about to try your comment from 4 hours ago.

[ajmi982]

I have gitbash installed but i cant find "go into project -> hakchi_gui properties -> build events" inside Visual STudio

[bobskorn]

@sanjay900 I followed your instructions but just did it in Visual Studio and it worked like a champ!!! Thanks bud.

[ClusterM]

Fixed. Sorry :(
