(win7) Compiler can't find steam_api.lib

[Kermer]

Can't compile on windows (both 32 and 64bits)
g++: error: steam_api64.lib: No such file or directory (steam_api.lib for 32bit)

It's probably just a libs path issue in config.py, but didn't manage to make it work.
Tried "" and "" instead of "/", still the same error.

On Windows you must compile with Visual C++ only (can't use mingw) because *.lib is for Microsoft C++ only not for mingw (gcc, g++).

Installed VS 2013 Pro. Now I get

When using mingw you can also get similar errors if you just drop .lib file inside main folder (instead of inside a module)

Hmm... Managed to compile both 32 and 64bit using default steam_api ( redistributable_bin/steam_api.dll and .lib ).
Still can't compile 64b as I should, but it seem to work fine with default lib.

[Mavhod]

Windows 64bit you must compile with console "VS2013 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt" but now the last Godot version in Github is compile error in this cmd.

Managed to compile it using MinGW!

VisualStudio requires env.Append(LINKFLAGS=["filename.lib"])
while MinGW requires env.Append(LIBS=["filename"])

So changing LINKFLAGS to LIBS inside config.py will allow to compile with MinGW 😉

If I find out how to check which one is used to compile I'll update the config

Could anyone release a compiled version? I do not know how to compile.
