Why can't I run AssaultCube built from source?

Question

Hi, a error with open source.

I have been playing AssaultCube for about 2 weeks and I found that it is open source. I downloaded from SourceForge and I got everything to compile but... It could not find 3 .DLL(libvorbisfile.dll, libogg.dll, libvorbis.dll) files so I downloaded them and put them in \windows\. Now i get the error "the procedure entry point vorvis_synthesis_halfrate could not be located in the dynamic link library libvorbis.dll"

How do i fix this error? Btw im using windows 7 and VC++ 2008.

PS. I have googled and posted other places and no one knows :(

Answer 1

There is a mismatch between the stub .libs you linked against at compile time and the dynamic libraries you actually have in the PATH.

Answer 2

It's important to get the spelling right, and I don't know who made the mistake here.

The actual function name is vorbis_synthesis_halfrate not vorvis_synthesis_halfrate. (B not V). Googling that turns up quite a few results. It's indeed a "recent" function, and older Vorbis versions don't have it. GMan's answer (which he hid in a comment) is probably the easiest: the AssaultCube installer will install new versions. The harder alternative is to download the relevant sources from http://xiph.org/vorbis/ and build those DLLs yourself.
