nightly builds error "too big to fit into memory"??

[robertltux]

running Windows XP and i get an error "to big to fit into memory" when i try to run the last couple nightly builds
any hints as to WHY??

Hm. I'll take a look at it.

Ok, first problem is the bloody daft error message. It's microsoftish for "the file is corrupt" and does not mean in any way that it ran out of memory.

Anyway, for the root of the problem... seems there has been a code change which is incompatible with MinGW:

Googling a bit, it seems knownfolders.h is specific for microsoft's vista SDK and thus not available for generic compilers such as mingw.

For now you can copy the file makehuman\bin\win\makehuman.exe and use it to overwrite makehuman\makehuman.exe. That way you'll get the last manually compiled VC++ build, which most likely will include everything which would have appeared in the nightly build otherwise. The actual functionality is in the python scripts anyway, so you'll not lose a whole lot by overwriting the small compiled part.

Should be fixed now.
