Compiler problems
 

before i was going to add changes to the source for my server i wanted to try and compile it. when i tryed to compile EMuShareMeM i get this error when it compiles mmf.h

I am using Dev-C++ might that be a problem?

oh didn't see that no other compilers work with it sorry =/ kinda angers me that i cant compile it in that but oh well =/

If you know Dev-CPP perhaps you can get it to work. The problem is no one was motivated enought to try and track/fix the problems with compiling with it.

All the Dev's have MSVC++ or linux GCC

still new to the program and im very new to C++ so i wouldn't be able to tell what was wrong if it slapped me in the face.

I understand part of the problem...
Under windows all the #ifdef's are setup for VC++ and windows.
But for Dev-CPP it needs to be mingw and windows. Or basically a mix of the windows and linux compile options.

Like #error __int64 not supported that is causing the first 8 or so lines... it is a programed error inside a #ifdef win32 because of 2 missing defines that are probably set by VC++ But like you I have NO idea if the gcc code or the win32 code is needed (or if both fail) I would imagine the gcc code is needed though.

I also found it matters which version of mingw you use. The latest dev-CPP 4.9.8.5 uses mingw 3.2 but you can install the latest mingw 3.3.1 and it will cause different errors...

I think it would be really good if someone with Dev-CPP and or mingw experience would take a look at it and submit the changes required to compile correctly under mingw.
