Compiling Godot with SCons

Question

Today I want to build the open source godot project (http://www.godotengine.org/wp/) on Windows 7. I give attention to the compiling instructions (http://www.godotengine.org/wiki/doku.php?id=compiling_windows) but when I use SCons in the command line, I get this:

fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x86' conflicts with target machine type 'X64'

This problem is already described here:

[linking problem: fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86' (linking problem: fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86')

But I have another question. I know, I have to define the architecture type of environment variable in SConstruct file (I can post it here, if you want). Unfortunately it doesn't work as thought.

At first I edited the line, where the environment variable is initialized:

env_base=Environment(tools=custom_tools,ENV = {'PATH' : os.environ['PATH']},TARGET_ARCH='x86');

I only added TARGET_ARCH='x86'. Is that wrong or should I set the target arch someplace else? The LNK 1112 error still occurs.

It would be great, if somebody could me help. :)

Answer 1

There is nothing to change in SConstruct, but the right compiler version is needed. So go to the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts and call the VS2013 x86 Native Tools command line. Then it works. :)
