But you can also give th path to fbc.exe directly, by running:

Code: Select all

python scons.py "fbc=c:\Program Files (x86)\FreeBASIC\fbc.exe"
There shouldn't be any reason to reinstall python, as scons is working now.
I'll give that a try.

I want to cry in a corner. :(

EDIT:

Progress? I sure hope so, because Python would just close right after opening.

You have to run scons from the OHR source directory, which is where you put the stand-alone scons.py script earlier! Just like you did before.

I don't know if I did this right... I'm guessing not.

At this point, I really wish there was a step-by-step tutorial for this sh*t. I'm seriously feeling like I'm running around in circles now.

Err... no, I meant run

Code: Select all

python scons.py "fbc=c:\Program Files (x86)\FreeBASIC\fbc.exe"
in the OHR source directory.
To be honest I don't know whether those quote marks are in the right place. Quoting works in a really weird way on Windows.

OK, this time you've definitely not done anything wrong.
You said that you're using FB 0.90.1, and I checked and found that we only added support for compiling with FB 0.91 in Jan 2014, which is well after Beelzebufo was released. Before that point we probably didn't support 0.90 either (and that's also what the error message you got would seem to indicate).

I recommend that you down the nightly copy of the source code to Callipygous and compile that instead; it supports FB 0.90.1. Callipygous is going to be released this month, I'm certain of it! (Besides, if you only want password recovery you can use any recent version)

After you unzip the Callipygous source, don't forget to extract a copy of scons-local to the same folder, as you did before:

Okay, thanks so much!

EDIT: There's now a file called OHR build in the folder. Do I convert that to .exe? If so, how?
