Hi,

I searched the sites, the forum, checked the readme... But I can't find what libraries are needed exactly to compile this beast... So as a last resort, I'll just come bothering you guys.

I know I need the DirectX SDK, but then there's a reference to c:\speech_api which I don't know what it's supposed to be. A quick google pointed me in the direction of the MS Speech SDK 5.1, but after installing it, I noticed it didn't have such a directory... And then there's a reference t C:\MSSDK\ which according to a google search should be the MS Platform SDK, but I can't seem to find the XP version on that damned MS site...

Is there already a place I might have overlooked where all the build requirements are listed, or is this just not documented yet? If so, could anyone enlighten me please?

Thanks

I know you said you checked the forum, but some people overlook the stickies.

There's a thread called The Answer: Free Compiler for FSSCP pinned to the top of the board.  I've never read it since I don't code and have little knowledge of how to even begin.

The only thing you need is the DirectX SDK.  Speech is optional.

The C:\speech_api, etc., should be in the global #include window rather than the project #include window, but people keep putting them there.

DirectX SDK
If using the toolkit compiler, the Platform SDK
OpenAL SDK
(optional)
Speech SDK

Well the OpenAL SDK isn't required at this point.

OK, Thanks guys, seems I was on the right path anyway... Now all I need is to find the platform sdk for XP, (assuming there is one; I got little to no clue about Windows programming).

@kietotheworld: yeah, I saw that, but it said nothing about that speech SDK, and it seems I screwed up the platform SDK install and blamed it on a bad link.

Anyway, thanks a bundle. I'll try getting this beast to compile later tonight.

You interested in joining the team then?

[Nighty]

Not sure if the team would want me; I kinda made a name for myself at the university for not finishing my thesis on shaders (soft shadows) even after two years... I thought I'd kinda get acquainted with the source first and lurk around here for a bit. Once I know my way around the source and after playing around with it a bit, make some patches that are worthwhile, maybe I'll consider joining up.

But right now I don't think that would be a good idea; I'd probably slow you guys down too much.

ps: thanks for the helpful pointers; I got it compiling now.
