MSVC 8.0 Devpkg?

[XboxJosh]

I cannot find it anywhere, is there something else I should look for instead?

[Zarel]

Doesn't exist. For most intents and purposes, we do not support MSVC. Just use MinGW.

[XboxJosh]

I haven't had a good history with MingW.... (that's why I'm using MSVC now)

If you try to help me, (Please? ), this is what MingW spewed at me:
error.txt

[Zarel]

Did you install MinGW correctly, set up the path, and everything?

[XboxJosh]

Yes, but I had a pre-existing MSVC installation. Do they conflict?

[Zarel]

Um, nope. Try reinstalling? You do know what I mean by "set up the path", right?

How come that I've missed the announcement on unsupported MSVC ? If its true than you should remove this wiki page completely http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/Window ... ide_(MSVC) and I will stop bothering the project with C99 issues on MSVC I guess its just a limitation in free time and/or good will of the dev team... Anyway I can supply working MSVC devpkg if need be.

[XboxJosh]

Yes, I am aware what "set up the path" means. I unistalled and re-installed everything, and rebuilt my path from scratch (removing unnecessary entries), still get the same error. What version of MingW should I have? (Just checking)

Hmm, really? Have you managed to get it working in Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010? I'd really appreciate instructions that work there.

The MSVC Compile Guide page is known to be outdated, so you'd probably need to update that page, too.

I can tell you that I was able to build WZ with MSVC 2k8 nearly a year ago, when I switched from MSVC 2k5. But I have no plans on moving to some beta version of MSVC for now. Btw, I've updated MSVC page right after posting here today. The question is how to upload devpkg on site?

If you have trouble with that, you can always upload it here, and I'd upload it there.

I re-installed MingW, this time using EVERYTHING it has, instead of what this page suggests.

It got further than last time!

The error I got back this time was:

Code: Select all

C:\MingW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lglu32

???

Hmm, wonder where the old devpkg went?
For what it is worth, VS2k10 is broken for this project right now, and they have a fix for the beta 2 release.

This is a complete mystery to me... probably someone is sabotaging all MS-related things
I've attached an updated package for MSVC 2k8 to the corresponding wiki page. Must be all for now...

[i-NoD]

The release configuration is broken now for MSVC, but maybe this will help a bit...

wz_project.patch

Also, i've noticed that there is no font visible for release (debug is just fine).
