Well I got a copy of MSV C++ 6.0 and the dsw works of course, but I noticed that the compile option is desensitized. I did do a build and it came back with 1 error. THis was just fooling around since I still have to download the DirectX SDks

I will stil try to compile on DevC++ but I think my priority is to fix soome of the code I have. And I do think being able to compile will help me a lot in testing what I try to do.

**Ekmek** · June 20, 2005, 23:56

Okay I think I need some help. I read through many of the posts hear but cant really see a recent step by step compile with Microsoft Visual C++

I did these steps:

1) Updated the SVN trunk

2) Downloaded the minimal version of 400kb

3) Set up the environment variable (CDKDIR). See readme (Control Panel->System->Environment Variables). (I did reboot)

4) Opened the project file of the source code(ctp2_code\ctp\civctp.dsw) in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.

5) added the Include and Lib and classes/base directories from the DirectX SDKs to Tools->Options->Directories from Visual Studio, as described in the readme.

How do I do this?
6) Build the flex and byacc files manually, as described by John.

7) I still onlyget a build and compile is desensitized. Do I need anything else?

What's this? A small version of DirectX? Well I installed DirectX 9 that has everything and puts its files automaticly into the include file list of VS, maybe there is an include missing but that isn't a problem and maybe another modification to the project is necessary.

The best way is not doing it at all. These files should be compiled automaticly, espeacilly with the updated civctp.dsp.

Werll that shouldn't be a problem even if DirectX is not installed. Did you select the ctp project as the active one?

Compile is used for individual files, and will only be active when you have selected a .cpp or other compilable file.
Build is used to make the whole project - it will automatically detect which files have been changed and need to be compiled. Just try it.

**Ekmek** · June 21, 2005, 14:27

Thanks. I did use the build function it said build ctp2_sdl.exe and I tried to build it but I received 5 errors but cant find where it put the ex so I assume it didn't build it. It happened real fast too so it made me thinkit didnt go through the files. I'll try again toight with Martin's suggestions.

**Fromafar** · June 21, 2005, 17:04

5 errors is not bad, considering you are trying to build the wrong version. If you want the build a DirectX version, go to menu Build | Set Active Configuration, and select ctp2 - Win32 Debug (if you want a debug version) or ctp2 - Win32 Final (if you want to make the real thing). Then try to build again.

**Ekmek** · June 22, 2005, 01:12

Ok I change the config to ctp2 - Win32 final and got this:

Code:

--------------------Configuration: Crater - Win32 Final--------------------
Compiling...
Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '/Ot'
Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '/Og'
Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '/Oi'

Error executing cl.exe.

ctp2.exe - 1 error(s), 5 warning(s)

then Debug I get this...

Code:

Error executing cl.exe.

CivCTP_dbg.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I need a little help on the warnings. and 1 error sounds really low, do I have it accidently set to stop after one error or something? I assumed I'd get more...

**Fromafar** · June 22, 2005, 12:32

reftime.h is in [...]dxmedia\classes\base, so you may have to check step 5). It should be the first directory in the list when you select Include Files list at the Tools|Options Directories tab.

The error in ctp2_enums.h may be repaired by just removing the #include line. Actually, the whole file should be removed, and its contents redistributed, as the comment at the top indicates. I think the file has been introduced for a quick-and-dirty early linux compilation attempt, and was forgotten after splitting off the linux branch.

Looks like the VC++ 6 newbe - I mean introductory version.

There these warnings are normal. MS stripped all these cool optimize features from the compiler.

The error is from a missing DirectX include directory. From the menu bar go to Extras -> Options... -> Directories -> Include-Files and make sure that all the necessary DirectX directories are there. For instance here are the top most of mine:

C:\DXSDK9\Include
C:\DXSDK9\Samples\C++\DirectShow\BaseClasses
C:\Activision\CTP2\ctp2_code\compiler\msvc6\stlfix es

Of course this is for a DirectX 9 version. The reftime.h is in the BaseClasses directory. For DirectX 7 you need DXMedia.

That is a nice side effect of one of the Linux changes. To fix this go to the menu bar Project -> Settings... There select the Crater project and insert into the project options the following piece:

/I "..\gs\gameobj"

right before

/I "..\os\include"

Do this for the other map plugin projects as well and the game should compile.

Unfortunatly I hadn't time to update all the projects with the necessary modifications, only the ones that I needed to compile and link the game again, therefore I didn't submit any changes yet.

**Fromafar** · June 23, 2005, 15:13

Why are these directories and ctp_enums.h included in crater.cpp? It does not use the enums at all. And GameOver? During map generation?

The game has not even started yet!

@ E: Please tell us which versions of the compiler and DirectX you are using. Otherwise, you may get some confusing/conflicting advice.

I think it used to be using an enum from ctp2_enums.h, but (in the linux branch) I moved it to another file to remove the necessity for including ctp2_enums - I guess some of the change has filtered through to trunk, but not all of it.

**Ekmek** · June 26, 2005, 01:53

Ok, I downloaded the 186mb SDK and the dmweb thing in locutus's post on page 1. I then set the directories for the include and the library.

I'm using MS Visual C++ 6.0 and I now ihave the latest directX stuff from Locutus's post on the first page of this thread.

Martin, I found my matching directories that you had except:
C:\Activision\CTP2\ctp2_code\compiler\msvc6\stlfix
es
I don't see a compiler folder in svn-code...

I think the warnings are from the

/I "..\gs\gameobj"

right before

/I "..\os\include"

I added I may have put them in the wrong place. you siad project options, but project options is available under many tabs like C/C++ and Resources, MDL, and so on. THere are many tabs there ad Iadded them to all asuming thats what you meant by addingto other map plug-ins.

But the final error my come from the folder name I use F:\My Games\ and i think the space may have stopped it, is that right? how do I get around this (without renaming if I can?)

**Ekmek** · June 26, 2005, 02:00

I did find that ctp2 compilerf iler (i was looking at the old code in another folder) so I added it and then I only got this, which was stated previously:
[code]

how do I habdle this part?

You must not put the source in a folder path which contains spaces.

You can, but you have to use the 8.3 versions of the names in the CDKDIR environment variable.
