Vega Strike Forums

Can we consider the attached patch as well? I've been using it for at least 1 year in my local tree, it gets rid of an annoying error when compiling with VS Express (various flavors) or the toolkit-2003. It's made against the pheonixstorm branch, but the same can be applied to the trunk.

Here's a collection of 64-bit libraries I've made over the weekend should anyone else have the idea of working on a 64-bit vegastrike.

(edit) Forgot to attach vorbis.

(edit2) And zlib_static-d

And finally here's glut32 (I had missed it).

I was finally successful in compiling and linking vegastrike as a 64-bit binary using all the libs I posted; binary attached for testing. Make sure you replace the dlls in win32/bin with the 64-bit versions as well (expat.dll needs to be renamed to libexpat.dll)

On my machine, this binary crashes exactly the same as the 32-bit ones.

I so need to find my VS9 disc... can't stand not being able to compile for x64 though I would have to find a 64bit copy of windows... that is unless I can swap my vista out for 64bit. But.. then I would need another comp to run it as I don't need to boot xp, vist, 7, and ubuntu lol

Hmm... actually my parents computer needs a good cleaning, maybe I can redo theirs as a 64bit. Still have to find a copy of a 64 windows... maybe dual boot it for 64bit linux and windows. As much malware as my dad finds (from not knowing how to google or surf smartly) its an idea...

If you think that's bad you should take a look at my desktop's boot sector... 3 nested levels of bootloaders ntldr, grub and chain0... partitions from c: to m: and several non-Windows, most of them bootable and with various OSs on them...

...and still the only 64-bit Windows I have is on my laptop...

(edit) To add insult to the (Windows) injury, the 64-bit Linux binary that I built last evening runs fine on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 on the same laptop. The video driver is fglrx, OpenGL version 2.1.9016

Excellent job on getting up-to-date projects for building a Windows binary.

One last refinement needed. Here's how to embed the manifest in the exe itself:

And since we don't use nmake, it's actually easier than that. In solution properties > config. properties > manifest tool > input&output > embed manifest "yes"

I'm trying to build a debug version of the exe, but I think the solution in the svn has some directories wrong for the debug since from the very beginning it throws out errors about not finding header files.
