Hey guys, I’ve looked at easyrpg a while back, then I didn’t for a long time and now I had a look again and I am really impressed how far you guys got!

I’m trying to compile easyrpg myself on windows and contribute some things if I can (we’ll see that), but by now I am just stuck at compiling.

`----------Build Started--------
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c ""mingw32-make.exe" -j 4 -f "EasyRPG_wsp.mk""
----------Building project:[readers - Debug]----------
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory `D:/code/easyrpg/svn/readers/builds/codelite'
mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** No rule to make target `../../src/event_reader.cpp', needed by `.obj/Debug/src_event_reader.o'. Stop.
mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `D:/code/easyrpg/svn/readers/builds/codelite'
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 2
----------Build Ended----------
0 errors, 0 warnings`

From what I understand, before I can build the player or editor, I need to build the “readers” project. But it doesnt. The mentined file src/event\_reader.cpp doesn’t even exist in the current svn checkout and the file structure does not match the one in the codelite project at all (but I am not sure if it is supposed to anyway, as I am new to codelite).  
Here’s a screenshot:

Great respect for everything you guys have done so far, I am sure you will get a 100% compatible player one day 🙂
