Visual .NET 2003 compiling...

bobmyers · August 8th, 2003

Can someone write a sticky on how to properly compile cxbx using Visual .NET 2003

Some helpful hints for basic compiling of the code would be nice and if I need to have the XDK installed to properly compile cxbc (which I'm sure is not needed but just asking).

It would be quite helpful to some others as well I'm sure...

Thanks!

I can help you with that.

- Get the source from CVS

- Make a directory where you put the sources for cxbx and OpenXDK.
So now you got c:\somedir\cxbx and c:\somedir\openxdk

- Open the cxbx.sln file and answer yes to the question if you want to convert the files.

You now have an environment containing the cxbe, cxbx and cxbxkrnl projects.

- Change the property of the cxbxkrnl project to include (additional) the directory c:\somedir\openxdk\include (Properties -> C/C++ -> General)
- Change the property of the cxbxkrnl project to include (additional) the ddraw.lib library (Properties -> Linker -> Input)

Now you have to change some code:
In the file Mutex.cpp in the routine Lock and Unlock change the calls to InterLockedCompareExchange to use the (LONG) calls.

In the file EmuXOnline.h add the keyword public to the class so all members are accessable like this:

class EmuThis
{
public:
// etc.

Now everything should compile.

Good luck!

Thanks!

3rd year of computer science and I'd like to fool around and/or help the project over time.

Ok it seems it's not enough unless I misunderstood a step. Everything performed as you specified. I assume this is ok to post.

Here's the compile errors/warnings...

Cxbe warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'LIBC' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library

Cxbx error result returned from 'c:\*OMITTED*\cxbx-0.7.7b-source\cxbx\bin\bat00001d.bat'.

CxbxKrnl error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _DirectDrawCreateEx@16 referenced in function "void __cdecl XTL::EmuD3DInit(struct Xbe::Header *,unsigned long)" (?EmuD3DInit@XTL@@YAXPAUHeader@Xbe@@K@Z)

CxbxKrnl fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Ok, sorry in the new version caustik has added something which requires a library to be added. My mistake

You can ignore the first warning, maybe i will look how to get rid of it, but it is not fatal (just not flawless)

The error about the unresolved symbol is easily fixed by adding the ddraw.lib to the additional dependencies in cxbxkrnl. I will change the former reply so that step is added.

Excelent!

The direct draw library did the trick.

No warnings or errors after this step in Visual Studio. This is by default the "trace" version.

Thanks again.
