TankTank for Windows

Alright. A few painful sessions with windows headers and piles of dlls and I've come up with a windows build of my game tank tank.

The controls are still listed here. The game itself didn't change much from 0.1.7 except that I no longer link against ImageMagick++ or SDL_mixer as I couldn't either of them to link properly. The latter was just crashing mingw's ld. That breaks text, and I never hooked up sound.

This release doesn't include source, I had to make a mess to cross compile and I don't want to clean it up.

tanktank-0.1.8.tar.gz

O yah, it works in wine just fine.

Delicious Coffee

Ahh, getting no support is fun.

Delicious 32 libraries

Missing 32bit devel packages on your 64 bit system?

Just install them apparently. You just have to compose the repo url then walk dependencies manually from otter bones. Or run that script. Otter bones included.

Runtime Stacks

Mmm, Stacks

It does not appear to make a difference in glibc malloc catches at least.

Heisenbug

You might even find a Heisenbug, which can be incredibly difficult to track down, since a) it surfaces very rarely, b) the conditions can be impossible to replicate, and c) introducing test code can "fix" the problem.
