options.cache is empty. The options.cache in GG should be: prefix = '..\\..' with_boost = '..\\..\\Boost' with_boost_include = '..\\..\\Boost\\include\\boost-1_34' with_sdl = '..\\..' with_ft = '..\\..' with_devil = '..\\..' Perhaps it's missing from the SDK? [edit] I downloaded the SDK just now, a...

What's in your GG options.cache ?

Updated it last night before running scons.

options.cache is empty.

Again, see the README.txt. Once installed, using scons just to get GG and FreeOrion compiled should be trivially simple. I installed python to C:\Python25 and added it to the path environment variable, then installed scons. I used tortoise to update freeorion and GG. Then from the VS 2005 Command P...

2) Exploration is fun, and should be made to represent an involving activity and as interesting as possible, at least at the start of the game. In this case, it seems reasonble to delay the availability of information about a system. When a scout arrives in the system, it would likely immediately k...

Imagine how "threatened" your people would be if an alien race was exploring and found your planet, but couldn't communicate "Hey, we mean no harm". You're people would expect you to take protective, defensive, or offensive action or else suffer an approval rating penalty. Or if ...

the Express Edition might not be able to compile FreeOrion anyway (I've not heard anyone's report on this). My experience with VS Express for C# is that the compiler is seemingly identical to the professional and enterprise editions. The features of the IDE are the main differences. Perhaps this is...

Running scons install in the GG directory puts the necessary GG headers, libs and dlls into the appropriate directories (such as /include which is located in the same SDK dir as /FreeOrion) where the FreeOrion MSVC project and scons scripts expects them to be. I'm not sure why the second copy of th...

Am I correct in understanding the SDK does not include GG libraries compiled? Correct. If so, then maybe I can add GiGi as another project into the MSVS solution. If you want to make a separate GiGi solution, then go ahead, but I don't want to put GiGi right into the FreeOrion solution. They are se...

Am I correct in understanding the SDK does not include GG libraries compiled? If so, then maybe I can add GiGi as another project into the MSVS solution. (Besides, I think the solution file should have the GG directory added to the project properties for the include paths as well) Until then, consid...

I was going to update this, but the pages seem to be locked. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to post the update here, or to the discussion. On: http://www.freeorion.org/index.php/Compile References to: https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freeorion I believe should be updated to: https://freeorio...

If yall are not aware(I tried searching the forum to see if there was a note on this yet), there is a project to create BOTF 2: http://www.botfii.armadafleetcommand.com/index.php Since this game seems similar, perhaps there is a potential for sharing some resources/content. I can't imagine what, and...

On the forum I click search and enter: BOTF then select the Strategy Games Forum and search, but this returns no results. If I search using google I find: http://www.freeorion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=27333 So clearly the search should return at least one result. I left all other options at...
