Building:Win32:SCons
From FIFE development wiki
Platform-dependent information: Win32.
The following passage contains information that is specific to Windows operating systems.
[edit] Introduction
This guide describes how to build FIFE on Win32-systems with the SCons build tool and the mingw compiler.
[edit] Requirements
- FIFE SDK - the latest can be found in download section
[edit] Getting started
- Checkout the latest sources from the Subversion repository
svn co http://fife.svn.cvsdude.com/engine/trunk
- Unpack / install the SDK to
<FIFE>\build\win32\
- Download and install ActivePython 2.6
[edit] Building FIFE
You can find different batch files for building FIFE in 
<FIFE>\build\win32\build_environments\scons\
-
build_engine.bat builds the engine from the trunk sources
- cleanup_engine.bat deletes the files that were created by the engine build process
- logbuild_engine.bat creates a log file ( engine_build_log.txt) of the trunk core build process
- install_engine.bat installs FIFE to C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\fife
You should find the built dynamic library entitled 
_fife.pyd in <FIFE>\engine\python\fife
[edit] Caution
Building FIFE will only work if you click on the batch files or execute them from the <FIFE>\build\win32\build_environments\scons\ directory. Launching the bat files with the commandline interface outside of this folder will NOT work!
[edit] Testing FIFE
NOTE: To run FIFE clients you will have to install FIFE by running the install_engine.bat batch script from the <FIFE>\build\win32\build_environments\scons directory.
[edit] Rio de hola
- Move into the <FIFE>\demos\rio_de_hola folder.
- Start run.py.
Note: OpenAL needs to be installed for sound (can be found in FIFE SDK)
