If you’re using the pre-built 20100331 version for cygwin, what version of cygwin do you have installed?
Edit: I did set up a poll but it doesn’t appear to have worked. The options were:
gccVB 1.0
gccVB CVS 06-20-05
2.95 precompiled NVC version 2010/3/31
GCC 2.95 source (self built)
GCC 4.4.2 with M.K.’s experimental patches (self built)
Other (please specify)
[X] 2.95 precompiled NVC version 2010/3/31
I don’t know how to find the cygwin version, but I just updated using the latest installer, version 2.738, and then rebuilt a VB ROM to make sure nothing broke.
Still using a self built GCC 2.95, but definitely willing to switch to a newer and better version if the community game project brings us one.
Self-built GCC 4.4.2 with M.K.’s, dasi’s, and a couple of my own patches

What do you have to do to get started with the pre-compiled version? I’ve been following the instructions on the wiki, but unfortunately I got a bunch of errors…
thanks!
I’m having the same errors as reported here:
(basically, following the instructions on the wiki page don’t work…)
In the past I was able to get going (on another machine) with an older version of gccVB, but I really wanted to run the most current one… I tried using the pre-compiled version (gccVB 2.95 pre-compiled) and copying into C:\cygwin\usr and I’m still not able to compile the demos/examples…
jzagal, try compiling the attached demo. Make sure the path is correct in the makefile. Then open a command prompt and run ‘make’ in the drawsync directory.

Aha! That one DID work!
I think I’ll have to figure out what’s going on with the different libraries then? Thanks for the example, I’m glad to know that it can actually compile SOMETHING.
Yes, the issue was with my makefile! I’m now able to get it to work… THANKS!
