Build error: Failed to create archive <..>
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Build error: Failed to create archive <..>
| ||
I get this whenever I try to build a module with 'bmk makemods -r modname.mod' or 'bmk makemods -d modname.mod'. After compiling it displays 'archiving' for a split second and then it exits with the "Failed to create archive" message. What's going on? |

Possibly, you are using Windows 7 or Vista, and you don't have the correct permissions to write files in certain places... |
| ||
Nope, I'm using XP and made sure the directories are write-enabled. Maybe the blitzmax demo is restricted from building modules or something? |
| ||
the demo can't build any modules, you need to buy bm not even sure if it can use non brl-pub modules |
| ||
The demo can use non-official modules no problem. Ok then, no biggie. I'd already made up my mind to buy it anyhows :) Thanks for the help. |

You also need MinGW (on Windows) installed to build modules. |
