Title: Compile problems with VS2003 - Missing files? bad includes?
Post by: Telemachos on October 01, 2006, 07:53:25 am

Hello,

I just pulled down the source from CVS and am trying to compile it using MS Visual Studio 2003.  I seem to be getting stuck on a couple of things.

It doesn't like the includes for the lua stuff.  I'm getting the following error:

Code: [Select]

c:\Development\fs2_open\code\parse\lua.h(5): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'lauxlib.h': No such file or directory

Now I've been able to fix that by prepending ../../lua/ to the include but I know thats not the "Right Way" to fix it.  I tried adding ../../lua to the Additional Include Directories but it doesn't seem to want to work.  Any idea how to fix that?

Also I seem to be missing a couple of files.  I'm getting the following errors:

Code: [Select]

code fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '\Development\fs2_open\code\graphics\GrD3DParticle.cpp': No such file or directory
code fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '\Development\fs2_open\code\graphics\grd3dbatch.cpp': No such file or directory

I checked and it looks like the files are not there....

Any idea what I need to do?

Ok,  not quite sure what happened but my problem with the includes went away... I exited VS and went back in, then did a build and I no longer get that error.  I do still get the missing file errors though...

All I can suggest is trying a CVS update. You shouldn't actually have GrD3DParticle.cpp IIRC because it was removed a little while back. You should have the second one though (I do at least) so it doesn't sound like simply using an old project file (which was my first thought) if you're saying that both files are definitely missing.

I definitely don't have either file.  I did a dir grd2d* on the graphics folder and here are the results

              14 File(s)        428,011 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  16,903,593,984 bytes free

and if GrD3DParticle.cpp was removed, shouldn't that not cause an error unless something is still referencing it?

I'm also getting another missing file

Code: [Select]

C:\Development\fs2_open\code\freespace2\freespace.rc(412): error RC2135 : file not found: ..\..\code\sound\phrases.cfg

Should I be using other options in CVS to get a certain release?  I've been either not setting anything or selecting "HEAD".  I haven't used CVS is about 3 years and I've forgotten everything I knew about it...

I wouldn't suggest getting the HEAD branch to start with. the 3.6.9 branch is much more stable.

Here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,41234.msg842224.html#msg842224)'s a guide on using TortoiseCVS to get it.

Your graphics folder is definitely smaller than it should be. I have 41 files in there plus the gl and CVS folders.

Karajorma,  I figured out my graphics problem.  The VB project was still refering to the files.  Figured that out when you said you have 41 file in the graphics folder.  Thats how many I have, I just did a DIR on the GRD3D files before since I was just looking for the "missing" files. 

I've been using winCVS (it's what I'm familiar with) but I think I'll install tortoise.

Now the only compile error I'm getting is the phrases.cfg one.  It is referenced by freespace.rc.  I searched the folders and I found a phrases.xml but no phrases.cfg.

It's generated from phrases.xml.

Any idea what I've got to do to generate it?

Well, I'd suggest using the MSVC_7 project files...those are the ones that I specifically updated within the last month to work properly with everything. You will have to change the outputs from "D:\Freespace2" to your Freespace 2 directory. I'm not sure why we've got two folders for one version of MSVC.

Other than that, here is the build step info for phrases.xml
