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!
