Downloaded from SVN, can't compile in VC8.
------ Build started: Project: vegastrike, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

I get this while using msvcrtd but not libcmt. By doing the opposite, I get a shitload more errors. By using both I get it telling me that some functions have been redefined. Is there a way to tell it "Just pick one, they do the same thing anyway"?
How do I deal with it? Please help

Fixed -- you need to tell it to include zlib, also, you may need to rebuild libpng. No big deal. I can upload the usable zlib and libpng somewhere if you want?

Now it compiles, but it crashes (both in VS and WCU), with me unable to see any meaningful debugging info.
I give up sorry, I tried.
What I will do is reinstall everything (including windows), then try again to follow the instructions to the letter, and keep you posted.

Okay, reinstalled everything (I do mean everything: Windows, VC 8, the SDK's....), downloaded from CVS... SAME EXACT ERROR AS ABOVE.
And absolutely no reply as far as getting help goes.
Bye guys, it's been fun I did the best I could.

I've never compiled SVN, but I did get the CVS compiled with my Linux.
Are you sure that the "vega-vc7" is the right one for you? I mean you have VC8--don't know if that makes a difference, but I remember a discussion about the VC support, some versions were working, some not. This thread contains some of the problems and solutions.
In linux the "vegastrike" + "datax.x" + "music" is all you need... Sorry.

Can I make a Windows binary in Linux easily?
Also, I did the same steps as here -- libpng and zlib, etc. -- guess what... no changes. I got it to compile but it still crashes consistently (Priv Remake, WCU, Gemini Gold and VS)

Well... sorry for the delay, but you know I'm not around on weekends and I think I'm one of the very few experimenting with VC8.
As a matter of fact, you really should stay away from VC8 for now, because it has a weird bug on the STL that causes serious memory leaks. I don't know how much it affects VegaStrike, but I chose to wait for the patch to fix it (M$ promised to post one such patch shortly). The temporary solution is slightly out of my reach (rebuilding the CRT - I just couldn't get the source... it seems only the Pro version gets the source).
Anyway... I'll see if I can get it to build out of the box, even with the leak, and commit a vega-vc8 eventually.

What would you recommend I use to make a win version right now?
I traced the problem to libpng -- libpng3 doesn't play nice with VC8 and when I tried to compile my own, it compiles OK but causes a crash. I don't know why -- haven't had time to trace teh bug. In addition, I don't know how to use the debugger on a library...

Well... there's the Toolkit 2003 that runs fine, they say. Oh... no multithreading. So it doesn't work for VS (the music needs multithreading).
Hm... I guess you have to use gcc then. I never set up gcc to work in Windows, although I've been told it is possible. I've used DevCPP (which uses mingw=gcc), but I don't think VS builds with DevCPP (it's using a rather old version of mingw).
I use Visual Studio 6 (VC6 - The best version I know aside from VC8, but VC8 has that nasty bug). If you can't get VC6, then you're left with no choice: get GCC working on windows. I imagine it isn't a piece of cake, though.
In any case, I'll try my luck with VC8, as it's going to be the best option once they fix that damn CRT - even if I can't build a new CRT, someone else might... it's just getting our hands on a patched version. I've already made VS work with VC8, only using the Ogre branch, which is a tad out of date. Perhaps some new changes brought some trouble, but I doubt it's too hard to fix. I'll let you know how it goes.

If you can get VC6, that would work like a charm (almost).
At least, I have projects that work out of the box for it.
I don't know if I commited them... I don't think so since I do modifications that I wouldn't want commited (like deleting projects I'm not working on to reduce clutter, for instance).
The problem with VC6 is that support for it will be dropped as soon as the Ogre port gets on its feet, because newer versions of Ogre will drop support for it. Now... if VC8 doesn't fix that bug, it could mean trouble. But I'm pretty sure that they will, or at least we can get our hands on a patched version of the CRT (probably from M$ themselves - failing that, Ogre guys may be able to help).

I can get VC6... what project should I use? I can also get VC7 (sort-of, the school has a site license, I'm not supposed to take it home but eh.)

Okay, I got VC7.
What do I use to grab SVN? It's full of branches. ^_^;
(again, sorry for bothering but my brain is going to be firmly locked in stupid/clueless mode until I have an idea of what's going on -- safest way to get things started again)

Grab TortoiseSVN, install it - of course, and check out from https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vegastrike/trunk
From then on, it's quite easy: just use the project in vega-vc7, and it should work.
I don't use vc7, but I think Daniel does, so if you have any trouble he could help. I could too... but it'll take longer.

It works fine now; I downloaded from CVS and started to put in the stuff that probably never got there, like the autolanding and the new leech system.
thanks! should I compare cvs and svn? what's the difference?

I can't check at the moment, but I remember that I got some crashes on load using VC8.
You may want to try running under release instead of debug mode... that may have gotten around some crashes. (But you will have to recompile)
VC 8 is pretty bad, so it takes a lot of time fighting with it to get it to run.
VC Toolkit 2003 is reported to work as well if you are looking for a good free compiler. (VS does not use threads... I believe the only multithreading is done within the OpenAL library and SDL mixer in the soundserver, not in VS itself.
As far as I know, VC 6 still does work since OGRE has not been mixed in, as long as you select the "Boost 129" configuration. And VC 6 is the only one that works under WINE in Linux.
The wiki page should cover everything:
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/wiki/ ... _Compiling
and if it does then add it or post something on the Talk page.
You may also want to look at:
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/wiki/ ... _Compiling
and you might be able to get cygwin to work.

You can make a zip or tar.gz of the files and attach it to the forums or upload it to ftp space.
It shouldn't be very large if you just modified text files, so attaching should be fine.
If you want to mail it to me, ace123(a)users.sourceforge net should work
If you have a SourceForge user, we can also add you to the Sourceforge project so you have SVN access.
