Compile for Windows XP and 7 about jeopardy

[chlange]

Try WindowsExperimental.zip (https://github.com/chlange/jeopardy/downloads)

[pylight]

When using the zip-File (Window 7), an error message occurs (sound/video output):
WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded

Based on a FAQ-Entry from Qt (http://qt-project.org/faq/answer/what_is_needed_for_deploying_a_phonon_based_application), QtOpenGL4.dll and phonon_ds9d4.dll (phonon_backend dir) is missing. I think these two files need to be created, using qt 4.8 (http://download.cnet.com/Qt-SDK/3000-2069_4-75305206.html) since the current qt-version 5.2 has dropped phonon support.

The zip-File also doesn't include the needed folders from the master repository ("answers", "gameStates", "images" and "sound").

Got it to work when copying the phonon_backend folder into the jeopardy folder. Download: http://www.xup.in/dl,38106027/phonon_backend.zip/

This folder is taken from the Qt SDK 4.8 (link is in my last post). If it doesn't work for you, install the Qt SDK and copy the folder from "QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.8.0\mingw\plugins" yourself. Also make sure you have the correct codecs installed for playing audio/video files in the game. I installed directx, ffdshow (http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/) and K-Lite Codec pack (http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/).

Btw: I got an error when trying to compile the game under Windows (Qt Creator 4.8.1):
gamefield.cpp - Error in Line 680: 'time' was not declared in this scope.

To fix this, gamefield.h should contain:

See https://github.com/chlange/jeopardy/wiki/Windows for build instructions.
A pre-compiled binary available.

Update: When adding the imageformats-Folder from QtSDK\Simulator\Qt\mingw\plugins (which contains dlls for gif/jpeg/ico/tiff/..), jpg-Images can be used in the roundfiles! :)
I also added QTSvg4.dll and QtXml4.dll to make sure the app icon can be loaded.

New Zip-File, please replace it with the old one:
