You might need to enable more levels of warnings to get VS2008 to tell you what's wrong.  For instance, GCC4.2 now defaults to complaining about const char* to char* conversions, which VS doesn't by default but apparently can complain about.  Just a thought.

as i said in my PM - i would prefer it stay in my CVS repository at sf.net, but I will gladly add people to the contributor list so they can commit.

A big advantage of DVCS is avoiding this problem almost entirely. Tech talk.

PCS2 will not compile under GCC. I suspect something like the template subclasses not being declared correctly according to the spec.

it's not? crapola.

PS: I prefer SCons or Waf - as opposed to the gods-forsaken GNU Make or CMake systems for doing linux builds.

i wouldnt mind using svn over cvs just so i dont have to have software to access both. also i wouldnt mind pcs2 supporting the same compilers that freespace does. i was able to download the code but i dont think i could compile it with vc 2008 express.

[Bobboau]

I use VS2008...

[chief1983]

Yeah I thought it was VS 2008 compatible too.

[Bobboau]

also nuke has a point, PCS2 is the _only_ reason I have any CVS clients installed right now.

and for that matter I don't even remember how to get the source,
it looks like tortise cvs does not work with windows 7

[chief1983]

Likewise here, I don't use any other CVS repos.  Smells like upgrade time to me anyway.

There's a whole heap of problems with a unicode build of wx due to lack of proper conversions. There are a fair few about >> for nested templates. There are lots of "there are no arguments to '...' that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of '...' must be available". There's one "extra qualification 'PCS2_MainWindow::' on member 'putTitle'". There's one #include <wx\wx.h>. As far as I can tell the SConscript file is written in the style of a Makefile.

The problems I had last time I tried seem to have gone away though.

[Kazan]

yes it is built against a non-unicode build of wx.. it is one of the various problems that i was working on.  head is not stable right now - the branch (the name of which I forget right now) is stable, it's fixes.. i think it is "2.0-fixes")

we can move it over to SVN.

I use VS2008 as well.

[Bobboau]

you know wx recently released a version that does away with the unicode/not-unicode distinction

[Nuke]

i may have just been trying to use the wrong version of wx

[Spicious]

Unless it's done by dropping unicode, that won't solve the current problems. It'd help reduce future messes though.

[Bobboau]

so has anything come of this thread? I've got some recreational coding time.

[Aardwolf]

I'm not sure, but I think we may have swayed Kazan to move to SVN?

And he seems to be more willing to let other people contribute than I first suspected...

@Bobboau : If you could fix it so omnipoints don't break on my crummy Intel 945... well, I have nothing to offer, but I (and a few others) would greatly appreciate it.

[Bobboau]

I currently can't even get the current source code to download, tortoise SVN doesn't work in windows 7 and every time I start looking for another client I get distracted by something shiny, besides I don't want to install a CVS client if it's about to get migrated to SVN, however I also recognize Kaz realy doesn't want to mess with it right now, and I don't quite want to be put into a management position of the thing right now either, so I guess someone else needs to step up and take a management position of the repository.

* The E looks at his tortoise client running happily on Windows 7 x64

Hmm. I must be doing something wrong then.

[chief1983]

You could also just use command line SVN for now, there's at least 3 recommended installers on the subversion site (CollabNet's, SlikSVN, and Tigris.org's own).

[Zacam]

It's small enough and I'm involved enough that I _might_ be able to provide an SVN solution for the code.

Let me just make sure the server space has the ability to do so (it is currently hosting quite a lot as it already is).

And TortiseSVN client works just fine in both x64 and x32 Win7. Not sure about running an SVN server in it. It might help to run the installer (and make sure it's up to date) as "Administrator" (even though the primary user account _is_ an Admin account, it's not the same) and it should be just fine).

Feel free to PM me with any difficulties you are having and I'll see if I can provide some assistance.

[Bobboau]

I guess I could try running it as admin...

[Bobboau]

well, that seems to have been the problem
