Next binary release changes
Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 3:55 am
I reinstalled VS2008 today to get cmake to work properly with the installation path and get the x64 compiler working. If you do not install VS into C:\ then cmake cannot read the path for the compiler. Its a stupid irritating thing about windows...
Changes made to my installation:
Using Win7 SDK
Using x86 and x64 compilers
Unchanged:
Visual Studio 2008 (under XP)
I do not see any problems rebuilding the binaries though Vista and XP users may notice changes in the way the code runs I dont know. If you are a Windows 2000 user you may not be able to get the binary to work. If this is the case I will revert to another SDK but I don't see any windwos users running anything lower than XP and although XP and 2k are a lot alike I see no reason to continue support for anything below XP (I do all my major work under XP and have only recently switched gaming over to Win7).
I hope that my new setup does not affect anyones ability to play the game. If for any reason it does please post in this thread so that I can look into it.
