MSVC++ Compile error

[milo christiansen]

When ever I try to compile warzone I get this;

VS2k8Log.txt

After disabling Autorevision I get this;

VS2k8Log-Autorevision.txt

As far as I can tell it has some thing to do with "libtheora_static.lib"

I think you set something up incorrectly.
It works here.
The first one just shows that it couldn't run autorevision.
The second one shows "unresolved external symbol" errors, where did you get that lib from?

Try http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/Window ... %28MSVC%29

Prerequesites

Current version of TortoiseSVN
GnuWin packages: Flex (version 2.5.4a-1 will do the job), Bison (version 2.1 is required at least).
Latest Warzone Developer's Package (for trunk or 2.2/2.3)
Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition (current devpkg and build system are tuned to MSVC 2008 SP1, but with some manual modifications you can use any version up from MSVC 2005)

I followed that to the letter.

For the compiler I am useing Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition sp1
Flex version 2.5.4a-1 Bison version 2.1
and the latest trunk dev package

I got the source by downloading it from http://warzone2100.svn.sourceforge.net/ ... 100/trunk/ useing the "download GNU tarball" link at the bottom of the page

The only change I made is to remove Autorevision from the project file

Where did you get the trunk dev package from?
You shouldn't have to modify anything.

Some kind of failure in post-build event... maybe it has smth to do with those ++ in your path?

Most likely you got wrong devpkg, try grabbing one from sf.net.

Most likely you got wrong devpkg, try grabbing one from sf.net.

Thats the one I have, or at least the file name was the same. I'll try it anyway.

That libtheora error is the most frequent on this forum so far. Just make sure you do have SP1 for MSVC2008.

Just make sure you do have SP1 for MSVC2008.

I do.

So is there any way to make it compile?

[milo christiansen]

Where can I get that pre-compiled and ready to use?
I'm not in the mood for a dependency hunt, especially since I don't have internet at home and when I do have access time is limited.

[Buginator]

Let me get this straight, you got MSVC EE 2k8 + the latest SP, and the dev package from SF, and it still gives you errors?

[milo christiansen]

Exactly.

Then I get this:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4005&p=39647 which you might find from http://www.google.com/search?&q=warzone ... static.lib

Which seems to tell me that I need to compile the library myself, but the library seems to be missing dependencies and I don't know which ones.

It is a little annoying that no one can tell me anything but "Get the latest Dev package" when that's the first thing I did even before I posted the first time.

[plumar]

I can compile the trunk with the dev package from SF and the latest SP.

[Zarel]

Well, now I can't compile trunk with either MinGW or MSVC. So I'm in the same boat.
