Problem compiling with VC6
 

Gives me an error saying
'mysql.h' : No such file or directory

Does that normally come with VC6 or can I download it from somewhere or what?

You need mysql installed.


mysql.h found in C:\mysql\include


incase u get a zlib.lib error after that, zlib.h is found in C:\mysql\lib\opt

Thanks, I have mySQL installed, but I didn't noticed the folder named 'include.'

I am getting the zlib.h error, and I couldn't find zlib.h in the c:\mysql\lib\opt folder. I could only find the file zlib.lib.

zlib is a seperate download.. you can get it here:
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/

Thanks for the help. Now I can finally compile my own version.

Arggg
 

Ok, finally got down to one measly little error. Cannot find input file zlib.lib. I copied zlib.lib to the common, world, and zone folders, but didn't work. I looked throughout the source code and couldn't even find where the file is called. What's the problem?

Ok.. to clear a few things up here.

zlib.h is found in the zlib download but not zlib.lib

zlib.lib is in the binary distro of mysql, not the source.

Copy all 4 files in the mysql/lib/opt folder, youre gonna need them. Best thing to do is copy them into your eqemu source /common folder.

Make sure you reference the /common folder in Tool->Options then Directories tab. Also add it for both include files and library files, there's a combo box for that.
TheDreamX - you need to add it for Library files, thats why its not being found.

Ok, last problem (I hope). Server compiles fine, but when it runs, it says that it cannot find DB.ini and to see the readme. Well, there was no readme (in C++ project there was, but when I clicked it, it said there is no file called readme.txt) and I tried putting DB.ini from the executables in every single source code folder with no luck. Does anyone know how to implement DB.ini?

I think it tries to open db.ini in the current working directory -- whatever directory you run the executable from. I think if you put it in the project directory, it will work. If not that, then perhaps the debug directory.

I have another problem :

Who knows, whats that ??

Looks like you got a bad zlib.h file, you can find a new one easily enough searching yahoo. After you get a new one put it in the old ones path (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE)

I have zlib 1.1.4 from zlib homepage, i was downloaded it's today

Thanks
 

Just wanted to say this sticky was invaluable to me in compiling my server thanx all

Interesting errors
 

Hey guys,

Trying to compile the latest CVS I am getting the following errors:

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\eqemu\source\common\emusharemem. h(2) : warning C4182: #include nesting level is 361 deep; possible infinite recursion
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\eqemu\source\common\emusharemem. h(2) : fatal error C1076: compiler limit : internal heap limit reached; use /Zm to specify a higher limit

Any idea whats going on here and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks,

Kyraxe


Update: Nevermind, had a corrupt file which was calling itself somehow?? =) Working ok now.
