I picked up Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition (Academic version) recently, and I've almost got it compiling FSO.

First, I tried the MSVC2005 project. That failed miserably. It couldn't find any of the headers. Then I converted the MSVC6 project, and that sort of worked. After fixing a pair of little bugs (see my commit from today), it started complaining about quartz.lib. I took it out of the included library list, to see if I could just ignore it. It then gave me this. Any help?

Note that I never had any problems with compiling on Linux with GCC.

Thanks to some help from Goob, I've gotten a bit further. I've added code.lib to the libraries for FRED and FreeSpace2, and taken out linci.lib. I now get this error on all three projects:

Code: [Select]

BSCMAKE: error BK1513 : nonincremental update requires all .SBR files

Also, both the FreeSpace2 and FRED projects gives me this:

Code: [Select]

Sounds like you're missing parse/lua.cpp or have USE_LUA disabled (If that's still in CVS).

Close. The project file thought they were in parse/scripting/ instead of just parse/. Trying another compile now.

EDIT: Nope. Still not working.

[Goober5000]

Hmm.  Seems I forgot to mention the existence of libjpeg.dsp and liblua.dsp, which produce dependencies just like code.dsp produces code.lib.

Also, I have no idea how to solve that browse info bug, but you can bypass it by disabling browse info on some (or all) of the projects.

Way ahead of you, but same error.

[Turey]

HAHA!

It took many, many hours of playing around with obscure, confusing project settings, but it finally compiles!

I've still got some testing and cleaning up to do, but expect a commit within 24 hours.

EDIT: Crap. And now, without changing anything, it doesn't work again.

EDIT2: I'm getting nowhere. Starting over with clean convert of MSVC 6 files, see if I can get back to a clean compile.

[Turey]

Alright, it compiles, but I had to rename either fs2_open/code/parse/lua.cpp or fs2_open/lua/lua.cpp to another name. How do I get this name change reflected in CVS?

[Turey]

The version in CVS now compiles Debug without problems. I'm still working on release.

If vs2005 is giving errors from files that built properly on previous vs editions, or on other compilers, try checking the project options, and tinkering with the config settings. Generally, cuz those are all linking errors, tinkering around with those settings should work. You could also try changing it so that the project uses a multi-byte character set.

Actually, the problem seems to be that MSVC2005 is just stupid, as it builds lua.obj from fs2_open/lua/lua.cpp, then builds a different lua.obj from fs2_open/code/parse/lua.cpp, then overwrites the first lua.obj with the second, and BAM! Unresolved externals. I tried changing the output folders, but it didn't seem to work.

The important part is that it compiles. IT can be cleaned up later.

[Backslash]

Well the other important part is that it runs, too... 

I've been having your same struggles, and when I finally got the 3_6_9 branch to compile, it crashes upon game load.  No idea why, because I did get HEAD to work just fine.  I'll try your project settings to see if you've done anything different.

[Stormkeeper]

Heh. That kind of problems a real pain. Idk why vs05 builds like that. Still can't figure it out.

I've found that I'm getting problems with malloc. I don't know why, it's not my code or my machine or even VC2005. It just randomly happens.

[Stormkeeper]

i doubt that errors will randomly happen. I'd try running through the code and see if all the variables are defined, cuz usually that causes 'random errors'.

[karajorma]

The thing is that MSVC6 doesn't have these problems. I haven't had a malloc error in a couple of years.

current projects in CVS for MSCV2005 do not compile

(liblua)

FRED2's link error is probably because code.lib isn't getting build because code.lib's build error

oh.. fred2 gets a billion warnings for

[edit]
i did add _CRT_NOSECURE_DEPRECIATE_ or whatever it is to all of the projects that needed it and commited

Try reading the readme next time. Rename fs2_open/lua/lua.cpp to lua2.cpp, otherwise it causes problems cause it has the same name as fs2_open/code/parse/lua.cpp.

[Kazan]

commit that to the repo

[Backslash]

Why not rename code/parse/lua.cpp to parselua.cpp or something similar, instead of changing the lua.cpp in the sdk?
