Compile/Build errors

I hate to bring my troubleshooting woes to this forum but I feel like this is the best place to get this resolved...

I installed the dx SDK and opened the solution in VS2008 pro and set the dependencies for directx. Clicked clean solution and then build solution and I get about 4000 errors. Here's a tiny chunk of the type of messages that show up:

Quote:

Error 66 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup MSVCRTD.lib sandbox
Error 67 fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals ../bin/sandbox/\sandbox_d.exe sandbox
Error 97 error C2039: 'shared_ptr' : is not a member of 'std::tr1' d:\evidyon - complete\source\shared\binding\bindingptr.h 31 complete-editor

Error 100 error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<' d:\evidyon - complete\source\shared\binding\bindingptr.h 31 client

I've repaired and patched VS2008 in hopes that it would fix the problem however I know little to nothing about the debug/compile environment in visual studio so any help in the right direction would be awesome.

If you start getting a bunch of errors about include files not being found or linker errors about missing libraries, the include/library file paths haven’t been set up correctly in Visual Studio. Add the “include” and “lib” directories for DirectX and the platform library to the appropriate sections in this dialog, under “Tools > Options”:

I'm not sure if that is what you meant by setting dependencies for directx, but that is the closest thing that I saw to the problem. If that doesn't resolve the issue I'm sure Karl will at least have some insight. (Or I'll figure it out when I go to compile, but that won't be till late tomorrow or monday =/.)

This is definitely the place to go for Troubleshooting. If we get a few issue-resolutions I'll sticky a troubleshooting thread so it can all be found in one place. =D

just to make sure this is what i have done:

in:
tools>options>Projects and Solutions>VC++ Directories

changed show directories for to include and then added directxsdk\include directory
changed show directories for to lib and then added directxsdk\lib directory

---

i get alot of syntax errors which is why i think some other setting in my visual studio environment is off... perhaps karl has re-arranged some unmentioned stuff in his compiler??

has anyone else been able to make a successful build yet?

yours noobfully

Installing Visual Studios (C++) 2008 Express with SQL Server 2008 Express (optional content) now.

Hope to have a resolution tonight.

Ok, two things:

1- You can ignore the sandbox build errors. If it bothers you, just right-click on the project and "Unload" it. That project's just for testing stuff out.

2- The std::tr1 errors are due to an outdated CRT (c runtime) and/or STL (standard template library); the tr1 namespace has a particular extension I used a lot: shared_ptr. Microsoft should have issued an updated version; I have no idea why it's not packaged with express.

Thanks Karl I will see if reinstalling SP1 for VS works. I am using studio pro not express by the way.

My version of VS08 came with the proper include directories.
My OS is Vista.

My first compilation of Evidyon resulted in one error.

Quote:

.\complete-editor.rc(10) : fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.

Some of them, will post full Build Log on Request.

I ran server for reference. The error I recieved was

Code:

Debug Error!

Program d:\Evidyon Source\Source\Bin\Server_d.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

(Press Retry to debug the application)

I press retry and VS08 informs me that server_d has triggered a break point and takes me to the following lines of code in xutility. (Line 158)

Code:

__CLR_OR_THIS_CALL ~_Iterator_base()
      {   // destroy the iterator
      _Lockit _Lock(_LOCK_DEBUG);
      _Orphan_me();
      }

Sorry for possibly being too thorough.

There will be a lot of warnings; I (inadvisedly) ignored them for the sake of getting things done.

As far as afxres.h goes, just go into the ".rc" file and remove the line that #include "afxres.h". I don't think it's needed. However, for me it is located:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\include

If you're being taken to xutility, that means an STL container is being corrupted somehow. Do a full rebuild of the entire project, then try starting up the server in debug mode by "stepping in" to the first line of its execution. Step into each loading/initialization function to make sure everything is ok at each step.

figured out my problem:
i had to point the lib path directly to the x86 folder (located inside directx\lib)... works like a charm now.
