I've been trying to compile the SVN build of Cxbx, but everytime I try I get this:

1>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\\include\winnt.h(236) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'PVOID64'
1>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\\include\winnt.h(236) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
1>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\\include\winnt.h(7818) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'Buffer'
1>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\\include\winnt.h(7818) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
1>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\\include\winnt.h(7818) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

I get this every time It's trying to compile something that references winnt.h...

I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express.

Express 2005 is be tested by some people.
Express 2008 is not been tested with cxbx.

Best version to work with cxbx code is Visual studio 6.0
when you use other version then strange things can happen because code can be changed.

Prehaps some of the Cxbx crew has it working.. but do not now that for sure.


Ask developers of cxbx team to create Express 2005 and 2008 project files
with converted code.

If that is not comming, then you need to look for Version 6.0

 

[ElijahTW]

I'll see if I can't find VC++2005 Express later, but I really don't think that is the issue. I think I have something set up wrong, but I'm not sure what.

 

[shadow_tj]

Im not c++ expert, programming delphi..

but looks like your installed is screwed... the winnt.h is the sdk that is been installed by the setup.
so think you need to reinstall c++

What is the most up to date Svn branch for Cxbx?

 

[70597]

I would presume/assume BlueShogun's, but I'm probably wrong.

 

[ElijahTW]

I'm not sure what the most up to date branch is, however I've tried compiling all of them with the same result.

 

[70597]

You might need VS standard/pro to be able to compile the emu as well, instead of Express.

 

[ElijahTW]

I've tried this with VS2008 Pro, same results.

 

[70597]

Hmm..can you post the SVN address you used? I'll try to compile it in a bit.

https://cxbx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cxbx

I just downloaded all the branches, but the Blueshogun one should be the most recent.

 

[70597]

Alright. I'll see what I can do[if anything].

 

[Chrono Archangel]

cxbx is a ***** to compile... I thought I had it compiling at one point but recently it was giving me buttloads of errors.

However, Nisse's (dstien) branch should compile no problem though.

 

[70597]

Do I need an older DirectX SDK to compile it? I can't seem to find D3d8.h. Hmm..

 

[Chrono Archangel]

Yeah you need the DX8 SDK

[70597]

I'm having the same errors as Bigig. I guess it's a problem with newer VS versions?

 

[ElijahTW]

I'm thinking I have the wrong version of the Windows SDK, possibly.

 

[70597]

Could be. What version of the Windows SDK was used in 2005-ish? :hmm:

 

[ElijahTW]

Download details: Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK Web Install , perhaps?

(Slightly unrelated: Why are all the SDKs named after the Server OSes? It confuses the hell out of me)

Okay I tried that SDK with the same results. I guess I'll have to wait for Blueshogun to visit, I'm sure he can help me.
