Thanks Lenard, I'll try that tomorrow. Do you guys mind if I add a big 
documentation note to config_win.py that it hasn't been updated or 
maintained in awhile? Just so no one else goes down the same fruitless 
red brick road as I did, lol.

Please do. Obviously the note at the top about file searches being 
broken was too subtle a warning. If you do place the warning at the top 
just be sure to mention that setup_prebuilt() is still relevant and used.

Okay, so I got everything recompiled, it all compiles fine(except portmidi,

So I was trying to not use the prebuilt dir, as it just doesn't quite work.
The dlls are all in C:\msys\1.0\local\ include and lib directories. The

I was about to report these when I saw your post.

The offending statements were added in revision 2131 to joystick.c
(ViewCVS: 
http://www.seul.org/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi?rev=2131&root=PyGame&view=rev).
I'm not sure what's being tested, but these statements definitely do
not belong there (at the very least, they should be protected by
#ifdef DEBUG).

Unfortunately, same error happens when I compile it manually. When I

Re: [pygame] Re: Adding a new extension to the Windows compilation order

[René Dudfield]

Are you able to compile it manually?

[pygame] Re: Adding a new extension to the Windows compilation order

[Tyler Laing]

Okay, I would really appreciate some explanation of how I am supposed to
modify Setup_win.py.

My extension(_movie) needs these libraries specifically: avformat, swscale,
and SDL_mixer. avformat, and swscale require avcodec, avdevice, and avutil
to work properly.

What does each argument of Dependency.__init__ mean?

I am currently doing this:

dep = Dependency('FFMPEG', [r'avformat\.dll', r'swscale\.dll',
r'SDL_mixer-[1-9].*'], ['avformat', 'swscale', 'SDL_mixer'], required=0)
DEPS.dependencies.append(dep)
DEPS.dlls.append(DependencyDLL(r'avformat\.dll', link=dep,
libs=['avformat']))
DEPS.dlls.append(DependencyDLL(r'swscale\.dll', link=dep, libs=['swscale']))
DEPS.dlls.append(DependencyDLL(r'(lib){0,1}SDL_mixer\.dll$', link=dep,
libs=['SDL', 'vorbisfile', 'smpeg']))

because if I need multiple libraries(which I assume libs is for), I can't
use DEPS.add(args), because then the libs in Dependency would be
[[libraries]] which makes it crash. What is the purpose of the DLL stuff?

I need these answers, soon, please. I've already gone to IRC and no one was
around willing or able to help.

 Exactly as the title says. How do I add a new extension to compile to
 the windows compilation order for pygame? I know Setup.in needs the
 modification, which it does. But I also know that one of the config files
 needs to be modified. In config_unix.py, I use:

 Dependency('FFMPEG', 'libavformat/avformat.h', 'libavformat.a',
 ['avformat', 'swscale', 'SDL_mixer']),

 and it works.

 Do I modify config_win.py or config_msys.py? And what do I do to add to
 it? Obviously, I need to somehow tell it to target the three necessary 
 dlls.

Personally I never use the default font. I always include the ttf file

However, there is a workaround for the problem you describe here:

I don't know how current that page is.

Finally got it to work. Had to alter the Setup_win.in in the prebuilt

I however, was wondering, what compiler flag can I check for conditional

Personally I never use the default font. I always include the ttf file 
with my game's data files, and load it explicitly.

However, there is a workaround for the problem you describe here:

  http://pygame.org/wiki/Pygame2exe

I don't know how current that page is.

[pygame] default font

Two problems with pygame.font.SysFont:

1.
How do I determine which font face it actually returned ? If
it fails it returns the default font, but how do I know that
it failed ?

2.
If I make an exe file with py2exe,  freesansbold.ttf is not copied
with it. So when I use pygame.font.SysFont it fails without
an error message and just terminates the application. Try: and
except: wont catch it which seems a bit harsh. It Took me a while
to figure it out.
I tried to put the font in the same directory as the exe and
in the library.zip, and all over the place in the build
directory but neither works. Any way to make it work ?
Or is it broken ?
