Thanks for putting this out. Please everyone give it a try, report if you find some regressions / bugs.

It seems that during packaging of gemrb-0.6.1.tar.gz autogen.sh did not run properly therefore ./configure and other files are missing.

 

Furthermore some hidden files (.gitignore, .mailmap, .pydevproject) are added to the archive as well, which should not be there I guess.

 

Could somebody repackage this version again? Thanks.

You can run autogen.sh yourself, we switched to cmake for the main buildsystem. Those few extra files won't get installed and compress well. Why do they bother you so much?

A MinGW build for Windows is now available! Get it here.

I haven't recognized that the autotools have been marked as deprecated and you have switched to cmake. (you might change the INSTALL file according)

 

Well then I gonna use cmake which is better anyway .

 

And about the hidden files:

Those don't really bother me. But when creating the a tar.gz with autotools such files get excluded and I thought the packaging process has been broken.

It was mentioned in the release notes and now the INSTALL file reflects that too.

Sadly, on my Windows7 64bit I'm encountering a BSOD after normal character generation, and the game stop responding

A real BSOD??? Then something is wrong with your system.

Not a real bsod, just the game screen (without GUI). Probably something to do with the video settings.

[Guest Guest]

congrats, any chance of an n900 version?

[lynx]

It worked on n810 and others, so why not. We don't have the resources to build a binary for it ourselves though.

 

BSODer: sounds like a python error. Run gemrb from the console (DOS?) and print anything around the first "RuntimeError" lines.

It works! It seems I've messed a little with the paths to the resources. Well, what can I say? It's awesome! There're little inconsistences here and there, but it definitely working!
