Compiling v1.4.9rc1 - missing flx includes

[NovaCoder]

Hiya,

I've done some searching, and it seems a lot of people have had this issue but I can't find any steps to generate the 'missing' include files.

I know that you need to use the tool 'expack' to create these header files:

exult_flx.h
exult_bg_flx.h
exult_si_flx.h

I tried 'expack -c exult_bg.flx' but all I got was an empty header file with a checksum?

It should look more like this:

// Header for "./data/bg/../exult_bg.flx" Created by expack

// DO NOT MODIFY

#ifndef EXULT_BG_FLX_INCLUDED
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_INCLUDED

#define EXULT_BG_FLX_BGMAP_SHP 0
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_DEFAULTKEYS_TXT 1
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_MR_FACES_SHP 2
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_U7MENUPAL_PAL 3
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_BG_PAPERDOL_VGA 4
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_BG_MR_FACES_VGA 5
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_BODIES_TXT 6
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_PAPERDOL_INFO_TXT 7
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_SHAPE_INFO_TXT 8
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_SHAPE_FILES_TXT 9
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_AVATAR_DATA_TXT 10
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_BLENDS_DAT 11
#define EXULT_BG_FLX_CONTAINER_DAT 12

#define EXULT_BG_FLX_CRC32 0x494fa52U

#endif



I'm not even sure why these header files are missing from the source code?

We need mor information (OS, compiler, error message...) and I'd advise you to use the svn of Exult NOT 1.4.9rc1

Hiya,

The header files are missing from the archive exult-1.4.9rc1.tar.gz

It doesn't matter much which OS I'm trying to compile for if the headers are missing

[NovaCoder]

Ok I can see that these files are generated by the makefiles, looks like the makefile calls the expack tool.

I'll have to do some more investigation...

[Dominus]

That's why I asked all these questions. Good luck

Unless you have problems with your building environment, you shouldnt have to do anything more then the standard autogen/configure/make, it all gets done for you.

(Thats what the README files are for ;D)
