Help: Compiling CTP2 against DXSDK 9.0 only

[ctplinuxfan]

I figured out by accident (hardlocks on new win98 setup ), that some of us using DX90SDK might link DirectShow against the DXMedia libs, which were designed for DX7.0 and have been consolidated into DX SDK from about 8.x on.
I guess compiling against the libs of the same SDK might give some stability improvements, so i started that way:

• open civctp.dsw
• remove DXMedia includes from path settings
• add C:\DXSDK\Samples\C++\DirectShow\BaseClasses as a top include path (below DXSDK\include)
• open C:\DXSDK\Samples\C++\DirectShow\BaseClasses\basecl asses.dsw
• compile at least the release and debug version
• delete/move libs\DXMedia out of the ctp2 source path
• add C:\DXSDK\Samples\C++\DirectShow\BaseClasses\Releas e and C:\DXSDK\Samples\C++\DirectShow\BaseClasses\Debug to the libraries search path
• open civctp.dsw again
• remove ..\libs\dxmedia\lib\ prefix for each dxmedia .lib in linker section of ctp2.

Now, i'm stuck at this (everything compiles, but CivCTP_dbg.exe/CivCTP.exe does not link):

Linker-Vorgang läuft...

So some COM-Symbols of DirectX already exist in WlgGen.obj, while some of strmbasd.lib seems to need some extra lib.
Any suggestions where to search for removal of those symbols and which library might contain the last two symbols?

PS: The temporary resolution for hardlocks with DXMedia 6.0 together with DirectX 9.0b and the NVidia Driver 61.76 is installing the graphics driver twice and the rest in a certain sequence. Because DXMedia contains the oldest libraries, this installation sequence worked for me:[list=1][*]Win98 SE[*]Nvidia Driver (just for resolution)[*]CTP2 (installs included DXMedia)[*]DXMedia 6.0 SDK[*]NVidia Driver remove/reinstall[*]DirectX 9.0b SDK[/list=1]

According to the MSDN library, SysAllocString and SysFreeString are from oleaut32.lib.

[ctplinuxfan]

thanks fromafar
fixing the duplicate symbols was removing the #define INITGUID in wldgen.cpp and just making the ctp2 com stuff to be linked into wldgen.obj ...
took some time to find that out, inbetween the duplicate symbols increased beyond 400

Ok I have forgotten just about everything I knew 14 years ago about programming so a stupid question...

Following the steps in ctplinuxfan's very helpful getting started guide I got as far as

3.1.3.2 Start the build
Run Build - CivCTP dbg.exe. Have yourself a break while the source compiles. This lasts about
20 - 30 minutes, but will vary depending on your system.

When I received the following error:

HELP!

[J Bytheway]

This looks like the kind of error you get when your include directories are in the wrong order - if they aren't already, you might try putting the DXMedia paths before the DirectX ones...

[Martin Gühmann]

Afterwards I added the changes concerning the DirectX stuff I had to change the directory order as well. Unfortunatly I get an error message about a missing component, unfortunatly the error message does not tell me which component is missing.

Help, I've fallen and can't reach my beer....

Following the steps in ctplinuxfan's very helpful Getting Started Guide, I did the following:

• 2.1.2 Install Civilization Call to Power II
  - already done, now using playtest
• 2.1.3 Install the CtP2 1.11 patch
  - already done, now using playtest
• 2.1.4 Backup your CtP2 directory
  - did not do
• 2.1.5 Install MS Visual C++ 6.0
  - installed Standard Edition, Service Pack 4 which came with it and MSDN Library that came with it. Downloaded and installed Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 6
• 2.1.6.2 Alternative 2: Using the latest DirectX SDK
  - Downloaded and installed DirectX 9.0 Complete Software Development Kit (SDK) and then downloaded and installed DirectX 9.0 SDK Update - (October 2004) to a different folder because it forced me to.
  - The directories were already in the IDE options when I looked, Oct'04 first then complete then the VC directories.
  The DirectShow BaseClasses workspace file, ...\DirectShow\BaseClasses\baseclasses.dsw was only in the first DXSDK not the Oct'04 one. I successfully built the two .lib files and added the include directories under options.
  Should I download and install the other 2 DX 9.0 SDK Updates, and add them to the include directories?
• 2.1.7 Optional: Install Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries
  - Did not do
• 2.1.8 Unpacking the source
  - Already done.
• 2.1.9 Setup your environment variables
  - Already done.
• 2.1.10 Create a tmp directory
  - Already done.
• 2.1.11 Reboot
  - Skipped
• 2.1.12 Obtain latest ALL patch from CtP2 Source Code Project
  - 2004-09-13 All already added
• 2.1.13 Optional: Get up to date until latest post
  - 1 or 2 alreaded added.
• 3.1.3.1 Set the active configuration and 3.1.3.2 Start the build

OK something is having a problem with the space in 'Program Files'

Performing Custom Build Step on .\ctpdb.y

Vovan and RalphTrickey pointed this out in the "Getting the source to compile"
thread:

Something I found out is that the custom build steps don't like spaces in your
path, like RalphTrickey said. I had the following error when building:
"C:/Documents" not found. Or something along these lines. The solution was to
copy the bison and yacc files into a folder with no spaces, like "C:\cdk_dir"
and put that into the CDKDIR environment variable

The next problem was that my sources were also in a path with spaces in it
And sure enough yacc didn't like it... And sure enough, into a directory with
no spaces the source went. That's a bit of copying around, but hey, I didn't
have to do the yacc and bison stuff manually.

I didn't notice that either and if you check that thread, you'll find me
banging my head against the screen some pages later wondering why it won't
work for me.

Anyway, when I set the project up as C:\Activision\CTP2\... it worked fine.

And now we do...



I reinstalled DirectX to C:\DX9SDK\
I reinstalled the CTP2 source to C:\CTP2code\

I get the same error!

My C++ is still in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\
Do I have to reinstall that to something like C:\VisualC\ ???

have you changed your cdkdir variable?

[ctplinuxfan]

Did you try Rebuild All after that?

Solver had a similar error with std::max being undefined and sint32 errors, Fromafars suggestion to Rebuild All helped here

Anyway, i updated the documentation to contain the space problem.
If anybody else encounters that problem, he could try to quote the path in the CDKDIR variable, first, e.g.

set CDKDIR="C:\Program Files\CTP2 Source Directory"

or use the DOS 8.3 names (or both):

set CDKDIR="C:\PROGRA~1\CTP2~1"

Updated pdf is at this post, sources in altered source files thread.

[Flinx]

I fixed CDKDIR and did do a rebuild all after I got thoses errors. I assume everything is working now. I got one error as a result of some code from calvitix. I'll fix that tonight and see if everything works.
