Compiler Tool

[Krayz]

Ok, First I hope I got the right forum for this. If not please move it to the correct one.

Second, what is the compiler of choice? And can someone point me in the right direction in order to compile new world.exe files when new awsome code is posted.

Thanks in advance. :)

Visual Studio 6 is what most of us are using.. Other than .net, you probably wont even be able to get it to compile on anything else.

The code includes make files, you use them to build the code with....

[Krayz]

Trump, what patch lvl are you running in your VS 6? I have it all installed but I'm still dealing with errors I can't seem to get fixed.

Any chance I could PM you some questions?

ok, I see the error of my ways. After doing some searchin on makefile I noticed it is linux. Which in turned caused me to smack myself in the head. Just one of the doh moments. This just tells me it's not going to be easy, since I know crap about linux. Anyone know if cygwin will work for us windows flunkies? Don't have the resources to build a linux box, not that it would help without knowing what the hell to do. But I have a little experience with cygwin.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

open the .dsw files (included with the source) with VC that will open the project in vc and let you compile that way.

:roll:

what errors are you getting?

[Krayz]

If I open the Server.dsw file and make any changes. Then try and do a build world.exe I get this error.

--------------------Configuration: World - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...

World.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


I am currently downloading patches 4 and 5 for Interdev now. To see if this is not part of my problem. The version of VC6 I have is from a set of rather old CD's. I'll get back to ya when they are done downloading and I get them installed.

[tcsmyworld]

what changes did you make?
sounds like it didn't like one of them

[Krayz]

Thats the problem, I didn't make any changes. I just wanted to see it recompile the code.

[Krayz]

The only file I can get to recompile is the EmushareMem.dll. But it too is the only file that has the .dsp(project) file. All the other only have the .dsw(workspace).

Damn I hate being a n00b. :(

[tcsmyworld]

I just do a batch build from the server dsw, works every time no errors.
Compiles all of the source in one shot.

[Krayz]

I'll see if I can get that too work then.

If you need current CVS binaries you can DL them here-

The one dated 7/8/03 is the last updates added to CVS plus the AA fixes and random# fix.

[Krayz]

Thanks for the info Tcs. I'll dig through that thread and see what I can get out of it.

The source includes .dsw files for all project but when I try to load them it also looks for a .dsp file too. ???
