Trouble building 1.4.0 .ini file

[elaw]

So I finally got my courage up to start making some mods to the 1.4.0 MS3 code. Made a bunch of edits, built the project, all looked fine... until I realized that ms3.ini was only 27KB!

So I tried building the original unmodified source and got the same thing... the resultant file is attached. Basically it looks fine until line 448, then line 449 says "Binary file core.ini matches" and the file ends there.

This is with a fresh install of Cygwin 2.6.0 and the 2012 build tools. On the Cygwin install I didn't select any extra features except "make".

I wasn't sure the build tools installed correctly as a folder seemed to be created in a weird place. I've got Cygwin installed to C:\Cygwinsetup, then I have a folder C:\Cygwinsetup\MS3Source, and the code is in subfolders beneath that folder (the original in one, my edited code in another). When I installed the build tools, a "usr" folder appeared under C:\Cygwinsetup\MS3Source. Is that's what's supposed to happen? I did try copying that folder's contents to C:\Cygwinsetup\usr (overwriting anything that was already there) but it had no effect on the problem.

Has anyone got any words of wisdom for me here?

By the way if it matters, this is on a Windows 7 32-bit system.

You need to cd to the root directory
i.e. cd /
before extracting the build tools. If you get "usr" appear under MS3Source, you were in the wrong directory.

James,

Thanks! But... that didn't help. I actually removed Cygwin, did a fresh install, installed the build tools properly, and got the same result.

I tried the command you posted in the other thread:

Code: Select all

    grep -v "^#[12345]" core.ini | sed 's/^#0//' > ms3.ini

... with no luck (still resulted in a 27 KB output file).

I then did some research and tried adding the "-a" option to the grep command and it appears to have worked! So I'll modify the makefile and hopefully will be good.

Maybe it's a change in the latest version of Cygwin?

Ah, maybe it is getting upset by line endings. Glad you solved it.
