Compiling help ...yes another one of THOSE threads :)

Actually..

I remember in my first CSCI courses with C++ my instructor putting it like this.. "in systems development, treat warnings like errors and errors as worst errors.".

Warnings really shouldnt be ignored, but yes they are normal for the eqemu code atm. Most of those warnings are flagging things like deprecated functions and such, which are serious in their own right, but are not preventing a compiling of the binaries from succeeding.

My point is this. if you or anyone else here would like to clean these up, which is rather simple really just time consuming, go ahead and do so and just post a diff of the changes to remedy the warnings and we'll happily incorporate them into the eqemu repository.

Otherwise, enjoy the game!

Thanks guys. That helps clear that up. I do have a question though - I did notice the deprecated warnings and all that ..so I looked into it a bit on my own and saw that deprecation can be disabled by adding some line to the top of certain files that call for the deprecated functions - I don't remember the exact wording, but anyway if I went through and did that, would it affect the functions? I'm no C++ coder (but I am trying to learn) yet, and therefore I don't feel like I should be tinkering unless I know I'm not going to royally fuck something up heh...


Thanks again,
Sonic

HI sonicintuition,

We are aware of these warnings, for not, its best to ignore them. People are working on a fix for them, please see thread: http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/sho...d=1#post137876

However, this is more of a statement aid at the dev team and that is... warnings should not be ignored, just as wild said. As i stated in the above thread, these warnings are possible vectors to be explioted by a naughty users.

But all in all, steps are in place to correct them.
