Building LOVE on Windows

[schme16]

Hi all, I'd love to start building love on my Windows PC, I'm pretty new to software compilation though. I've managed to get the source for 0.5.0 (the current svn is apparently a minefield of bugs, so I hear). What I'm looking for is a quick run through of how to get it compiled under Microsoft Visual Studio 8; Every tine I attempt to compile I get a multitude of errors about missing files...

Do you have SDL?

Which files are missing? Post the output or just the library names, and we'll help you find them.

I've managed to get the project to find all the sdl files, as well as some lua one it was whining about, but now it does this:

Apparently LOVE has a download for the dependencies in their download section.

OK, I started from scratch, using just the trunk (possibly the problem, I guess) and the precompiled libraries for win32; now I get this:

Code: Select all

1>Linking...
1>fatal error C1900: Il mismatch between 'P1' version '20080116' and 'P2' version '20070207'
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1257: code generation failed

any ideas?
