ToME 2.4.0-ah released

[AnonymousHero]

Your gcc is still to old. Which version are you using, i.e. what is the output of

gcc --version

?

Also note that if you have multiple versions installed, you might want to re-run the "cmake" command and make sure that it's spitting out the right version at the top of the output. It should look something like this:

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 7.2.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 7.2.0

(obviously version numbers might differ, this is just to make absolutely sure it's picking up the right version.)

How do I tell cmake to use gcc-6 instead of gcc? (in a makefile I could just edit the line specifying the compiler)

[AnonymousHero]

Aha, it is as I suspected! I think doing

CC=gcc-6 CXX=g++-6 cmake

(and adding whatever else you need at the end) should do it!

This makes it so goddamn hard to hack. I don't want to use private user paths, so I remove the thing marked in config.h as /*OPTION: private user paths*/ in order to configure the executable not to do so, right?

No.

I'll have another go at this later.

Looking at your recent issue with TOME 2.4.0...were you compiling this within the angband.live webserver directory?

Okay after all my complaining it's finally up!

Fantastic that you got it working!

As you've probably discovered the idea with PRIVATE_USER_PATH would be to define it to something else (not containing "~", that's the bit that signifies the user's home directory), not to remove the definition.

(Apologies for the response lag, I'm sick with the flu at the moment.)

EDIT: Any chance you could make a GitHub gist with that file? I'd like to compare it to the current one to see if it's reasonable to just include directly in the repository.

Hey!
Could someone either offer me pre-compiled Windows binaries for this or alternatively step-by-step instructions for compiling this myself. Compiling under Windows is something I've never really learned to do.

[Gwarl]

bump because I went and compiled this again on ubuntu (without fancy installaton options this time) and found my own posts here when googling resultant errors.

If you are compiling on Ubuntu, besides what the readme tells you, you'll need gcc-7 (or 6) which isn't available on the Ubuntu xenial repos. To get it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-7 g++-7

then use

CC=gcc-7 CXX=g++-7 make

The ubuntu section of the Readme.md could maybe use this info.

(note I haven't successfully compiled it yet, will edit when I figure out what else is wrong)

I've tried with 6 and 7 now and double checked I have all the releveant libraries installed and I'm still getting the error I posted before being told my compiler was still too old, argh, can't remember what I did to have this work before
