Experimental Visual Studio Libraries for 2015 is up.

[Super Mario]

I compile the majority of the libraries for visual studio 2015. It's here.
Please post any issues/feedback on this thread and please be polite about it.

Known issues:

• [*]the cmake file from 100.1 branch can't seemed to find the files located in the newly created vclib folder.
• Use of internal spring SDL prevents compiling when using visual studio

Please post any issues/feedback on this thread and please be polite about it.

imo the files should be moved into the same file structure as for mingwlibs: that means to merge all include/lib/bin/dll dirs.

Ok, but the current cmake file doesn't reflect this for vc, only for mingw.

Ok, but the current cmake file doesn't reflect this for vc, only for mingw.

removing this from the cmakefiles should be quiet easy. as it works with mingwlibs the same code should find the files, when the file structure of vclibs is the same.

The latest glew library that I had downloaded doesn't have the glext.h file in the header file. Which version of glew is it?
Do I need to download specifically version of the library for other libraries as well or do I can just use the latest one.

[abma]

if i understood it correctly, glext.h is an opengl header: https://www.opengl.org/registry/

so easiest should be to use the file from https://github.com/spring/mingwlibs/blo ... GL/glext.h

FFS why is it calling it's own internal sdl files instead of the files that I have provided in the vc folder?

Line of code in question

Code: Select all

/* Make sure that this isn't included by Visual C++ */
#ifdef _MSC_VER
#error You should run hg revert SDL_config.h 
#endif

That's part of the internal sdl files. It throws a wrench at the operations like no tomorrow.

[abma]

does compile work when compiling the target spring only? (which doesn't compile spring-headless/spring-dedicated)

is sdl detected probably?

also, whats the error message? more verbose info would be useful...

No. However some of it can be easily fix though by editing spring files.

It been detected at cmake configure, yet SOMEHOW it lost track of that and uses it's internal SDL.

also, whats the error message? more verbose info would be useful...

It's multiple error messages. One of which I had write the

Code: Select all

add_definitions(-D_SILENCE_STDEXT_HASH_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS)

So it will shut up about it, until it's been replace by c++11 header equivalent.

abma would it be better for me to fork the engine in order to make drastic changes in order for it to compile or are we going to wait around until we receive word from jk on the SDL situation?

i don't see this happen soon. is a engine change really required? imo only a tiny change in the cmake files (if at all) is needed to change include dir(s) for vs.

I had edit one of the cmake files to accept msvc for unitsyc to compile, now I'm working on the others.

[Super Mario]

What am I suppose to do with the "divide by zero error" made by streflop?

[hokomoko]

What am I suppose to do with the "divide by zero error" made by streflop?

More info is required, when do they happen? where?

[abma]

hidden in the compile log:

Error C2124 divide or mod by zero streflop C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\spring-master\spring\rts\lib\streflop\SMath.cpp 9

[Kloot]

MSVC builds won't sync anyway --> no point in compiling streflop --> build Spring without it or forcibly ignore the warnings.

[hokomoko]

btw, why?
I think it should be possible (with lots of work I guess) to make them sync, since floating point is done in the CPU.
Or do you think optimisations may be an unsolvable issue?

[Super Mario]

How am I suppose to exclude streflop? Do I needed to modify it's cmake file?
