I just tried to compile a fresh clone of the git repository (MSVC++ 2008 pro, Windows). I get the following linker errors:
Code:

Also, the alpha 6.1 binary downloaded from the project page crashes - starts simulating the evolution of the universe at 4.5 billion years ( ), then exits. I find the following in stderr:
Code:
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (bad argument #-1 (string expected, got nil))

the game is well past alpha 7.5 almost at 8 suggest u get a newer compile

Thanks, that is exactly what I am trying to do. The current code as of yesterday evening gives me the errors above. There is no other more recent binary compiled for Windows than alpha 6.1 (the one posted on pioneer.sourceforge.net). Again, the current revision of the git repository compiles but gives me the linker errors above.(edit) found the alpha7 binary on this forum, it crashes all the same with the same "PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (bad argument #-1 (string expected, got nil))" error.

It sounds like you have installed them over different versions. They must be installed to seperate fresh directories with nothing else in there.There have been some changes to the .luas for ships over the last version and now in the current source code too. As such the old ones will not work with the new and vice versa.

Perhaps that's it for the binary.Still doesn't explain the linker errors.

makes sense new install then on the compile

Yes thats only for actually playing the game.If you can post a few more lines that appear above that linking error then maybe I can see what's gone wrong.Nomally the file listed above that is either missing or incorrect in some way.

Here's the whole build log attached.

You need to add GuiMeterBar.cpp and GuiLabelSet.cpp to the project. I haven't done this to the msvc project file because I develop on Linux. (The files are there of course.)

Yup, that did it. Thanks!
