COMPILE: Getting the source to compile

[Ekmek]

Ok, I finally got this:

--------------------Configuration: ctp2 - Win32 Final--------------------
Linking...

ctp2.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

that was it, no compiling like before and it was kind of fast. Its 7.26 MB bigger than the recent build. Should I have any concerns?

[tombom]

Your last errors were linker errors and so it only needs to link the files, which is quite fast. I'm unsure about where that extra 7.26MB comes from if it's a Final build though.

That's not a problem, the game may run a little bit slowly. That's because you use a introductory version of VC++ 6.0, that comes with this little disclaimer message, when you start the program. In addition they removed all the optimization features therefore the warnings about the unknown compiler options. One of these features is to optimize the executable size that is missing.

And for the no compiling like before: You are right there was no compiling, the compiler already compiled everything to *.obj files you can find in the final subfolder of the project's folder. The only thing that was done was to link everything together.

By the way now you can start to test your code and check weather it compiles on your own.

Great!

I was in the middle of uploading it to see if you guys wanted to double check it, here's the link anyways (it revision 407)

Martin, as for testing and cmpiling my code does my introductory version tell me where or what the problem is? Or because its introductory it leaves that out?

thanks

The only difference between the introductory version and the full version is that you are not allowed to build commercial programs. And to make sure that you can't do this, they removed all the optimization stuff, and added this nice disclaimer popup message. It isn't very professional if your program has such a popup or is slow.

If your code contains syntax errors, then even this crippled version of VC++ tells you that and where you can find the problem.

Of course if it contains other bugs it copiles for instance something like this:

while(true){
    // Some code
    if(something_that_is_always_false_but_is_supposed_to_be_a_variable){
        break;
    }
}

Of course the compiler doesn't notice that the loop will never terminate, even if the loop body is empty.

Maybe the optimizer can recognize that the loop does noting and removes it. And then you wonder why the debug version hangs but not the final version.

I got this problem as well, for now you can go to the according lines and restore these lines as they were in revision 473.

Thanks for the report, E. I forgot to commit a file in revision 473. With revision 475, you should be able to compile again.

I'm gettinga huge amount of warnings when I compile. its still compiling bt it throws up warnings from a lot of differrent files. I'll try to post the plg but its 6MB. What happened?

[Ekmek]

I fixed the warnings but doing the CLEAN command.

However, I get a commit error on one of my files it says

commit failure inconsistent newlines


how do i fix that and what does it mean by new lines?

The 'newlines' are the characters used to split one line from the next in a text file. What characters are used varies according to your operating system. You can make the newlines consistent by running a program like unix2dos on the file in question (There should be a copy in the repository in the bin directory).

[Ekmek]

dos2unix.exe is in the bin, is this what you meant? or should i look for unix2dos?

i did try running it from the one in th ebin from the command prompt and i put player.cpp for safe keeping but then i just got a crash

[J Bytheway]

I would have thought that both unix2dos and dos2unix would be there, but if there's only dos2unix, that will suffice. It should work with a command like:

dos2unix player.cpp

but if the executable is not on your path you may have to move to the directory with it in and do

dos2unix path\to\player.cpp

[Ekmek]

i put player in the bin directory so they are matched up and still got the crash and nothing happened.

i di hit debug and it was saying not found in dll stuff

[Ekmek]

well i got this

http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/niche/unix2dos.html

and ran it, no crash. I'll see if i can commit it tonight
