MSVC Compile Issues

[ratarf]

- I downloaded the latest source code from the SVN
- I have VC correctly installed with the windows SDK correctly linked
- I copied the 'lib' and 'include' folders from 'lexfiles' to the warzone src folder

- Folder structure of "H:\Warzone"

• warzone-devpkg
  • include
  • lib
• warzone
  • src
  • data
  • ...

The error I get (and 100's of similar errors):

Code: Select all

1>h:\warzone\warzone\lib\gamelib\animobj.c(13) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'lib/framework/frame.h': No such file or directory

The file is not missing!

I think it has something to do with the library/include files that are not correctly refered to in the project.

The compile guide says:

Code: Select all

"Change the “Additional Includedirectories” in “C/C++ / General” and “Additional Librarydirectories” in “Linker / General” according to your setup"

I already tried that... In 10000 ways. I also tried moving the dev-package lib and include folders into the src folders etc...
But I always get the same errors! Please help...

try adding 'warzone' folder to 'tools->options->VC++ directories->included files' and  'tools->options->VC++ directories->source files'

Here's a different error:

Error 9 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'strings.h': No such file or directory w:\warzone_project\wz_2100_source\devpkg\include\sdl\sdl_stdinc.h 61

Error Repeats 175x for different files/locations

MSVC 2005  (same error on full and express, Win XP and 2003 R2 x64)
I have devpkg, MS SDK  and the source files all included. I used the flex and bison instructions to produce the .c & .h from the .y and .l

I do not have a "lexfiles" folder. Is string.h in the lexfiles folder? Ideas?

strings.h is a header located in 'mingw\include' to ensure string.h with 'oldname' is included/defined.

Thanks.

I'm using MS Visual Studio 2005 to compile. If I include miniGW/include I get a gazillion syntax errors.

So i copied just strings.h to another inlcude directory and got past that error.

Now I get: Can't find 'inttypes.h'

Which is also a minGW file. Do I need to set some flag in the compile for MSVC or is this an issue with the sdl code not being set up for VC.

I think you will have to investigate why it's using OS2 config instead of WIN32 config set for SDL...maybe 'WIN32' preprocessor is missing in your warzone->properties->C/C++->Preprocessor in your current settings.

In the vcproj included in the SVN, WIN32 is correctly set for both compilation types...

I working from the 2.0.5 code. The compilation type appears to be set correctly to WIN32

Edit: I set up Tortoise, checked out the SVN tree, and I get the same error - inttypes.h not found.
BTW, flex and bison work, but the paths need to be included in the MSVC environment first.
tools --> options --> projects and solutions --> VC++ directories -->  [add the GNUWin32 and GNUWin32\bin paths]

the only workaround I could think of atm is to remove SDL_config_os2.h and rename SDL_config_win32.h in dev_package\include\SDL...it's obvious that SDL is choosing the wrong config file to include additional headers for some unknown reason...
