Missing files and other errors...

[Phoenixx86]

Downloaded the source from this link: http://spring.clan-sy.com/dl/spring_0.78.2.1_src.tar.gz

I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express.

Got about 2 dozen "no such file" errors like this:

1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\lib\luabind\src\wrapper_base.cpp': No such file or directory

No luabind folder, had to find LuaBind and download from their site.

Also got these 2 "no such file" errors:

1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\System\Script\LuaFunctions.cpp': No such file or directory

1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\System\Script\LuaBinder.cpp': No such file or directory

No script folder. Where do I get these 2 files?

And why aren't the LuaBind and System\Script folders & files included?

Other errors:

How are these fixed?

There are also a bunch of warnings, do warnings need to be fixed, or can I ignore them?

[Tobi]

Probably project files are outdated, no one uses Visual Studio currently to develop I think.

Best bet is to remove all the files for which the source file is missing from the project, then hope you can get it compiled, and then fix all the linker errors by adding files missing in the project.

Or use cmake to generate a Visual Studio project file, no clue how well that works tho and if it will point to the right dependencies etc.

You can ignore (most) warnings if you just want to compile. When writing new code don't introduce new warnings tho.

I'm using MSVC from time to time mostly because of the debugger which is lightyears ahead of gdb, but also the compiler which imo generates several useful warnings.

I'm not going to help you compile 78.2.1 because it is old already, but you could try downloading from github. If it does not work you may need an updated vclibs package - the one available for download is not properly updated. I can help you with that...

Hi zerver & tobi.
I try to build on Windows too (I checkouted with git)
About dependencies, I downloaded the last ogg vorbis version, made some changes with glext.h, and now I'm stock on the same boost-error.

What is the version used in the current code branch ? I could take some time to rebuild vc8 dependencies but I have to know which version to use...

[imbaczek]

boost requires 1.35+, you can use precompiled versions of 1.38 from http://www.boostpro.com/products/free. also, any pack of VC libraries should probably be made for VS2008, since there's a free version of that for download.
