Compiling the SDK

[MMC]

The new SDK is on the Warlords CD.

Hi i got a problem and MMC advises me to simply change the cvplot.cpp.
But i only find that new VC++8:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 76542-000-0000011-00125

Can anyone tell me where i can find the old 2003 version, so that i simply have to follow the steps in post #1?

Is it VS 2005 compatible?

I'd really appreciate that.

It's not VS 2005 compatible unfortunately. Only VS 2003. And there is a place you can download it for <$1, but I can't remember the address.

Here it is but for free:

VCToolkitSetup.exe

Does C++ NET Standard Edition suffice?

Does anybody know whether the Standard Edition of MS Visual C++.NEt 2003 does the job of compiling the SDK? Since the 2003 toolkit is said to be the compiler also shipped with the 2003 Professional edition.
So I'm uncertain about buying the Standard Edition, which I could afford.
It's only for the SDK, so it would be a pity if the Standard Edition couldn't compile the SDK.

Thankful for advice.

Why not just download the toolkit for free?

Although I believe the compiler is the same for all versions of VC++ 2003. The only different compilers are the 64-bit or PPC (Mac) compilers.

[Superstring]

Did that!

But with the Standard Edition you get a complete IDE, not only a console compiling tool.

[MMC]

You can get a free IDE to go with the free toolkit if you use Code::Blocks. Having compared the two, I find that the Code::Blocks IDE is actually easier to use.

What's Code::Blocks?

Forget about it.
Just checked it out via the link in the first post of this thread.

Great step by step guide. Followed it almost to the letter (installed the SDK before the toolkit), didn't get any problems. Compiled the project, and loaded it in the Civ4, no problems whatsoever.

I almost didn't bother trying because it seemed like a lot of work just to get it compiled. Glad i tried it, because it's really simple.

Of course i haven't tried changing anything yet...so my enthusiasm might diminish in the future

Code::Blocks doesn't allow editing code

Hi, out there.
I finally managed to get the source code compiled in code::blocks.
But to my surprise it's not possible to edit the code.
Written text doesn't appear at the prompt in the code modules (.cpp and .h).
Maybe it's a settings issue. Anyone can help?

[Lemmy]

That's not a codeblocks problem, the files are set to read only in windows. (right-click->properties, uncheck read-only)

Thanks, Lemmy!
