====== Troubleshoot Building Orx ======

This page is a random collection of tips for when you have difficulty building Orx.

===== .../memory/orxMemory.c:47:20: fatal error: malloc.c: No such file or directory =====

You need to run setup.sh / setup.bat to get the Orx dependencies. 

This will occur if:
  - You never ran setup before, or:
  - You've done a git pull for the latest and forgot to run setup again for the latest dependencies.

The setup command should be automatic when first cloning. Try running ./setup.sh or setup.bat again.

===== No generated Windows folder after setup.sh or setup.bat =====

If you haven't updated your Orx library in a while, this could happen, but is exceedingly rare. Did the other "Windows" folders generate under tools/orxCrypt? Maybe yes? Maybe no. Regardless, use git to clean up your unused files and folder under orx/ and then setup again. You should be back up and running again.


===== No output on mingw =====

For specific mingw issues, see the troubleshooter on [[en:tutorials:orx:windows:compiling_orx_with_mingw32_gmake#troubleshooting|this page]].


===== Error running ./setup.sh =====
<code>
  ** Access Error: protocol error: "Timeout"

  ** Where: fail unless until sync-op either --anonymous-- read either either do catch either either --anonymous-- do trap if --anonymous--
  ** Near: fail make-http-error "Timeout" ??

</code>

<code>

</code>

Just some glitch out there in the matrix, like a network timeout. Just try ./setup.sh again.
