compile something?

Mhm.

I see you are making progress

Ouch... just out of curiosity, what are you compiling?

Me thinks probably warzone.

Okay, enough of the smileys

I was curious to know what kind of effort would be required to convert the 1.10 C code to compile in C++ without using permissive compiler settings. The results are illustrated above.

Except for the ~30,000 error one - I was just messing with you guys there. I simply commented out one of the widely-used type defines

The conversion did uncover a large number of problems with the original source (all at varying levels of heinous-ness), especially in the Net code.

so what your saying is that converting to C++ is a no go???

I thought that we were using Objective-C ?

No, sorry, I didn't mean to mislead anyone. I didn't emphasize enough that what I did was on the original 1.10 source - merely work done out of curiosity. It is absolutely possible to convert to C++.

I was ultimately successful to get the project to compile as C++, but I had to fix about 1,800 errors.

The good news is that the 2.3.9 source is compiling as C++ as far as I can tell, but like I've said before, I'm not familiar at all with the source for this project.

I lol'd and threw up a little in my mouth I don't know a whole lot about Objective-C but I know enough to dislike it. I highly doubt this project has any Objective-C code, unless some of it is required for the game to run on macs.

Getting it to compile as C++ is definitely possible, considering that master uses C++.
