[General Plot]

I downloaded a copy of the source from pcsx2's website and just out of curiosity decided to compile it, but I came up with the following error:

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I compiled this under Visual C++ 2005, and I assume this should be ok, so I'm just wondering what this "windows.h" file is.

 

[refraction]

windows.h should have come with VC 2005, id check your installation

 

[Jenova266]

i've been having that problem to but it's not the installation

 

[General Plot]

My copy of Visual C++ is a beta, could this be the problem?

 

[CpU MasteR]

All right! I am going to tell you straight up, if you cannot find the problem in this long list of errors, DON'T EVEN BOTHER COMPILING THE PCSX2 SOURCE! You obviously have no idea what you are doing or have any clue on the programming basics. Refraction all ready answered your question... :hdbash:

 

[CKemu]

Blame CpU MasteR for this quote:

<@CKemu> massive list of errors, which even I could figure out (thats how dumb that post is )

 

[ChaosBlade]

Im using VS2003 and the windows.h header is provided with the installer. Like refraction said, check on your installation, even though id figure VS2005beta2 should have those.

 

[General Plot]

Well, regardless what any of you may think, the windows header file is NOT included with this beta. I did, however obtain the windows.h file from a Platform SDK, but I'm not sure where it should be. Here's a site to back up the fact that windows.h is not included.
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2004-June/074838.html

 

[ChaosBlade]

Actully, yeah, makes sense the Platform SDK wouldnt come with the beta, as the platform isnt completely stable yet (.NET framework v2).

Use 2003 next time, or try to get the entire Platform SDK from microsoft's site, iirc its a free download of around 250MB .. It SHOULD install it to the right places that way, but header files belong in Visual Studio's dir, for exmaple:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include

There's mine. Yours should be similar, notice that this is for C++ , replace Vc7 with other options for the different languages (VC#,Vb7,...)

EDIT: saw your link.. "Express Beta", D'oh. If you had the real 2005 Beta2, it might have been there. Never heard of an "Express" beta before either..

 

[General Plot]

Yeah, guess I didn't realize that the word "Express" would indicate that the SDK is not included. Anyways, I found that Platform SDK, and I'm getting the ISO of it, so I'll give that a shot. If it doesn't go too well with this express version, I'll just revert back to VS2003, no biggie, I was just interested in development with the .net framework v2. But I can always wait for a more stable build.
Note: Again as I said in my first post, I am doing this out of pure curiosity. There's something about seeing how it all comes together, you know?

 

[ChaosBlade]

Unless you have extensive experience with the .NET framework and need a specific feature you know only exists in v2 .. Id say there isnt much reason to use it in beta form anyway.

And yeah, I understand your motivation.. just make sure you aint jumping ahead too far, eh ? One step at a time is the trick

 

[General Plot]

Anyways, thanks ChaosBlade. I haven't played with anything in C since Borland C++, and that was quite some time ago (at least 5 years). To those that assumed I must have installed VC incorrectly, or that "I don't know what I am doing" may I suggest that you take into consideration what you say before you are so quick to criticize. Again, thanks ChaosBlade, your help is appreciated.

 

[ChaosBlade]

Sure thing, any time.
