What all do I need to download to edit the FBA for adding the games fixs and new games?
I need lots of help to get started.
I'm a starter.
Need a copy of the FBA uninstaller version first.
I have a FBA install and don't want to mess with that one.
I ready to do this now.
I'm borning.
I download the fba_029498 and the fba_029498_src.
Now it I got it like this. C:\Documents and Settings\Mitchell Hancock\Desktop\fba_029498\src
I'm ready to add and fixs the games. :)
What else do I need?
-
First do this:
Windows 95/98/ME:
Add the following two lines to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
SET MINGDIR=D:\MINGW
SET PATH=%PATH%;%MINGDIR%\BIN
Note: MAME and RAINE32 need some additional libraries installing but before you do anything else restart your PC so that the changes in AUTOEXEC.BAT become active. More experienced users will know how to avoid having to do a reboot but if you don't know a way then just reboot!
Windows NT/2000/XP:
Each OS is slightly different but they are almost identical...
From the Start Menu, select 'Settings->Control Panel' (just 'Control Panel' on Windows XP).
Double-click the 'System' icon (under 'Performance and Maintenance' on Windows XP).
Select the 'Advanced' sheet (on Windows 2000, called 'Environment' on NT).
Click on 'Environment Variables...'.
Click on 'New...' (under the 'System variables' section).
Specify a variable name of 'MINGDIR' and value of 'c:\mingw' (change the 'd:' as appropriate, if you are using a different disk!).
Select 'Path' (under the 'System variables' section).
Click 'Edit...'.
Add ';%MINGDIR%\bin' at the end of the value line and press 'OK'.
After you've done that, send me a Private Message, and I will send you my mingw setup.
-
Select 'Path' (under the 'System variables' section).
Click 'Edit...'.
Add ';%MINGDIR%\bin' at the end of the value line and press 'OK'.
Like this??? - %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%MINGDIR%\bin
Very confused on this part.
I got everything else right though.
Anyway I already have something in there - %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;F:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin
Maybe Path2 will do.
-
How about this - F:\MinGW%PATH%;%MINGDIR%\BIN
Hope that I got it right now on Path2.
-
Where are you going to extract the mingw dir. to?
To F:\mingw\ or c:\mingw\
Keep this in mind.
Select 'Path' (under the 'System variables' section).
Click 'Edit...'.
Add ';%MINGDIR%\bin' at the end of the value line and press 'OK'.

It's really not as hard as you are making it.
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;F:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin;F:\mingw\
or if you put your mingw in c:\mingw\
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;F:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin;c:\mingw\

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;F:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin;c:\mingw\
Ok. I see now.
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;F:\mingw\bin (This will be in Path2.)
First Path is the GTK art program and can't use that path. I will confused it there with MinGW
What is next that I need to do???
Is there anything else that I need to download or need to do?
-
The attachment is exactly how I have mine set up. Hopefully this helps ;)
After you get this properly set up, and mingw extracted, the only thing you need to do is open up a dos window (command prompt) in your fba src directory and type MAKE

Btw: How can I open up a dos window (command prompt) in my fba src directory and type MAKE???
There nothing there to open in the F:\fba_029498\src. There is 7 folders and 3 text files there. Did I miss something here?
-

try the attachment (little .reg file)
This will add a extra feature when right-clicking a folder.....a simple DOS prompt, it takes the relative path and open up a DOS prompt.....really helpful when you need DOS prompt in a very long path like C:\Program files\my files\sdfjhsdjgkbfgkh ;)
Add this reg to your registry, then right click the FBA sources folder, Dos Prompt > Make
ps : this file works if Windows is in C:\Windows, else you need to edit the reg and change the line @="\"c:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe\" /k cd \"%L\""
ps bis : the reg file is made for Windows XP ;) if you are running under Win98, you need to add manually the extra command line, as it uses Reget 4 and not 5

Hmmm...It doesn't work.
I have windows xp pro with sp2 patch.
I put the prompt in the C:\WINDOWS.
I right click the F:\fba_029498\src and I don't see the open up a DOS prompt anywhere on the screen.
Maybe the windows xp pro with sp2 won't let it to do anything.
-
I put the prompt in the C:\WINDOWS
What do you mean by that?????
You just have to add the reg to the registry by double clicking it, and change the path IF you did not install windows in the default fodler (C:\Windows)
Sp2 is not guilty, the registry can be modified with it, without any problems
You can also add it manually
Execute > Regedit
the go to HKEY_Classes_Root > Folder > Shell
Right click : New > Key
Name the Key DOS
You now have a DOS folder with a "default" string, edit that string, this is what will appear when right clicking a folder, so put everything you want in it, like "DOS prompt"
Right Click the folder DOS > New > Key
Name the key Command
Right click on it > New > String
The string will be named "default"
Put this command line in it "c:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" /k cd "%L"
This works in any Windows OS, in every Service pack
-
I did like you said.
I got it. Click it on prompt reg to the registry.
What is next.
-
I got it to work and it found the DOS prompt.
Now I tried to type in the word MAKE and it refused to MAKE on the F:\fba_029498\src. :(
What I'm doing wrong here???
-
Details... What message did it give you?
-
If you use only make comand with the MINGW pakage for FBA it will not work, this should work for it:
type ---> mingw32-make
This will solve your src compilation prob
See ya!!!! :D
P.D. anyone of the present newbies of compilation have the last PERL pakage installen in your MinGW\bin directory? you'll need it to avoid compilator errors ;)
-
The message - "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
mingw32-make doesn't work ether and same message above.
-
The best way is to do this:
In a new txt file paste this:
@echo off
set PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
echo FB Alpha compile utility Ready...
save that as makexe.bat in your fba src dir, run command, execute the bat and then type make or mingw32-make
See ya!!!!!! :D

That won't work ether.
It just blink and that is it.
Why did it blink after click on it?
-
It means you have not set the path correctly
Here is my Make.bat My FBA source is in MinGW2\fba and thats where I put the Make.bat
@echo off
set PATH=C:\MinGW2\bin;%PATH%
make

Look like I don't have everything download to put into the F:\MinGW.
Where can I download the rest at?
All I have is 3 folders (bin, include and lib folders) and one fba_mingw in it.
What is that compile fba???
I don't have that one.
-
Why not put everything together for me to download?
That way everything is in the right place in one zip.
This would help me out alittle.
I must of have every thing in the wrong place then.
I'm very confused now.
PM me and I will send you an email. :)
-
What is that compile fba???
I don't have that one.
That is my make.bat. And the source is too big to email And i have no where to upload it Size of my mingw source is 16mb compressed.
-
Now I tried to type in the word MAKE and it refused to MAKE on the F:\fba_029498\src
This is the problem.....you need to be in the FBA directory, not in the src directory
So you need to be there F:\fba_029498 in the DOS prompt, else it won't work ;)
-
Here's how I do it. Just unzip the .bat file into your c:/fba../ directory and run the .bat.
If it doesn't compile, please post a screenshot of the error message.
-

Well.
My yahoo can take the 20mb in my email box.
I could send you a password and user name to upload it at my breifcase though. :)
Btw: How come it is that big? Mine is 23.4mb.
How about using the WinRAR to zip those in parts?
-
That won't work ether.
It just blink and that is it.
Why did it blink after click on it?
YOu have to call the batch file via command, if you execute with 2 clicks it will not work
See ya!!!! :D

I double click my bat file and it works So I am not sure yours does not .
@echo off
set PATH=C:\MinGW2\bin;%PATH%
mingw32-make
-
Well I did on you guys said and it just doesn't pickup at all.
Like I said before, I need to download everything in one zip. That way I can test and see the problem will go away in your settings. But in F:\ only.
Maybe my windows xp pro does not pick it up right. Or you guys gotting the japanese windows xp pro version that I don't have. Mine is in usa english version only.
I don't have a clue really on why the MAKE doesn't work and give me an error.
Maybe I need to giveup and deleted everything that I download.
Yes I'm more upset than you guys are. :(
Why can I get things right anyway???
-
If you have AIM or MSN Mesanger I can send you my mingw (not including my FBA source)
-
Here's how I do it. Just unzip the .bat file into your c:/fba../ directory and run the .bat.
If it doesn't compile, please post a screenshot of the error message.
I try 2 places and gotting the same error.

try this .Put it in your fba folder Not the src folder
-
try this .Put it in your fba folder Not the src folder
Your batch will not work for him as you have Mingw in C:\Mingw, and he has Mingw in F:\Mingw ^^
-
try this .Put it in your fba folder Not the src folder
I put it in the F:\MinGW\fba
Edit it.
@echo off
set PATH=F:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
mingw32-make
Then save.
Click on it in the F:\MinGW\fba.
It just blink away and nothing happen.
But I saw the words though before it went away quick.
Let me move all of it into C: and see what happen next.
Then I will let you know something.
-
You can try this, works great for me
Just need to change the path if it's not in the same directory than me
-
I put it in the C:\MinGW\fba
Edit it.
@echo off
set PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
mingw32-make
Then save.
Click on it in the C:\MinGW\fba.
It just blink away and nothing happen again.
But I saw the words though before it went away quick again.
I can't figger it out why it won't pick up still.
-

Ok.
I will try that on Path instead of Path2.
-
Show you the screenshot after it get done. :D

What are these warning???
What is next?
Anything else that I need to do?
-
Those warnings are normal :)
-
I got to take a break now.
I will try to rest and sleep since I'm so sleepy. :)
Later and thanks.
I be back later on though.
-
Ive done this to my bat to stop it blinking off if there is an error lol
@echo off
set PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
echo Compile in progress Please wait !
mingw32-make
echo Compile is complete .
pause
echo Enjoy :)
pause
-
Anyway I rename the MS-DO Batch File into compile FBA.
This do work bellow on windows xp pro and windows xp home.
make
command
The other way around won't bellow.
@echo off
set PATH=F:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
mingw32-make
Note: Because it already in the System area using the...
SET MINGDIR = F:\MinGW
SET PATH = %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;F:\MinGW\bin;F:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin
