[SOLVED] Compiling under Win32 with VS2008/DEV-C++

[leeor_net]

Hello,

First, I'd like to say that I'm quite impressed with the work that's been done on Mana World. Actually, I want to use the code base when it matures a bit more for a project that I've had in mind for awhile now.

To that end, I've been trying to compile TMW with no luck. I've tried VC7.1, VS9 and Dev-C++ 5. All have various problems.

Under VC, the compiler complains about std::string, that string is not a member of namespace std. Dev-C++ is way more hassle than it's been worth.

I've installed all of the dependencies. I've even tried building from the SVN using the VC/DEV project files included with no luck.

Any thoughts on what I can do to solve this problem? Ultimately I don't really care what IDE/Compiler I use so long as it's C++... It's late and my brain is fried so it's off to bed with me!

And again, very nice work!

Use the latest NightlyBuild of CodeBlocks ( http://www.codeblocks.org ) and mingw compiler. It´s a supported ide for this project, and works fine, and ... it´s free !

Then takes the devpack, rename for the extension .tar.gz and descompact in the directory of the Codeblocks, then open the .cbp file in tmw directory for open codeblocks and go in Build Options and put the way of all dependences for tmw.

It´s a good thing too, delete all files in the project and add again, many times the project file it´s outdated, and need this ...

well, it is this ...

Thanks for your reply! After a little bit of fussing with the IDE, low-and-behold, it works! ... mostly. There's a problem with the key enumeration in key.hpp (expected identifier before numeric constant)... I'll search around on the forums to see if there's a solution to this problem. Otherwise, perhaps you have a suggestion?

Thanks!

EDIT:
I fixed my problem. In key.hpp, I added:

Code: Select all

#ifdef DELETE
#undef DELETE
#endif

That seemed to clear up my problem right away... Hopefully there won't be any adverse problems.

EDIT2:
Whoopsy... typo! I changed the above to DELETE from DEFINE... -_-

[ElvenProgrammer]

The best solution would be to undef DELETE in all tmw includes where the problem happens. That's because both guichan and windows headers define the same constant

[Matt]

I would simply replace the DELETE in inttextbox.cpp with 1013.

[leeor_net]

I was only having the problem in key.hpp so my solution worked.

Matt, your solution would also work but that, imho, would defeat the purpose of an enum. Regardless, I'm not too terribly concerned with the WinAPI crap because frankly, it's not really needed. So far I havn't suffered any ill effects.

Thanks again for all replies! Your help really makes a difference!

EDIT:
I forgot to note: I'm running WinVista Home Premium. I was unable to get TMW to compile with either DevCPP or Visual Studio. CodeBlocks is the only IDE/Compiler that seemed to work without much trouble.

So anybody out there who's reading this that may be in the same pickle I was in, just use CodeBlocks. C++ is C++, is it not?

this is what i get when i try to compile just the client...haha i dont know what im doin but i will learn this eventually

You don't seem to have libxml2 and libiconv installed, but I guess you installed the devpak.
Did you add Program Files/CodeBlocks/mingw32/tmw-svn/include to your include path?

Update your mingw runtime
