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:

  1. You never ran setup before, or:
  2. 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.

Hidden section

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 this page.

Error running ./setup.sh

  ** Access Error: protocol error: "Timeout"

or

** Access Error: protocol error: "Server closed connection" 
** Where: fail switch awake either switch switch --anonymous-- wake-up either until --anonymous-- wait until sync-op either --anonymous-- read either either do catch either either --anonymous-- do trap if --anonymous-- ** Near: _ fail error ??

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