Hi,

I'm trying to compile planeshift and have downloaded all of the CVS data OK but there appears to be errors in this guide and I only get errors outputted by Visual C++ 2005.  Anyways here is my error:

What is cl.exe?

Any help would be thanked greatly, thanks.

This seems fairly relevant to your problem. Try following some of the answers given there.

[picolo999]

Well thanks it worked but I now have another error:

Code: [Select]

c:\development\cs\include\csutil\win32\csosdefs.h(204) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windef.h': No such file or directory

I have search my entire hard drive and have not found any file called windef.h

Any help would be nice, thanks.

Give a look at this: http://planeshift.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/planeshift/planeshift/docs/compiling.html?revision=1.24 and install the proper files, if you haven't done it, for MSVC 8.

The guide on Laanx is super obsolete.

[picolo999]

Where do I download the nVidia toolkit. I have searched the entire nVidia website but cannot find it.

Thanks for any help you offer.

[ThomPhoenix]

What do you need the nvidia toolkit for?

[AryHann]

You are using the wrong part of that guide.
You need to select Windows and MSVC in the upper part of the document.

If you find it easier, give a look at this: http://planeshift.cvs.sourceforge.net/planeshift/planeshift/docs/compiling-visualc.txt?hideattic=0&view=markup but remember, the dates are not updated and you have to look into the other one for that.

OK so I finally sorted out all of the required files etc. Now thought when I try to compile CrystalSpace I get this error:

I have searched MSDN and found nothing of interest. Also I have noticed that some of the directories listed in the errors above don't even exist in the plugins folder.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Edit>>   Nevermind I figured it out on my own.

Ooops! sorry my mistake I have 5 errors in the last compilation (4 of which appear to be syntax errors in the CS code itself). Anyways here are the offending errors:

Thanks for your help.

[AryHann]

If you are using the SVN revision suggested by the compiling guide you shouldn't have compiling error. Are you sure you are using the right revision?

[picolo999]

Well which version should I have.

[AryHann]

The guide states:
CS SVN revison: 24805

[SpiritWarmer]

I learned c++ programming in a "for dummies" book but it didn't tell me anything about how to make my apps(games) accessable over the internet.
could you reccomend a book or internet site(preferably a book) that could teach me how to do that?
I'm not sure if this is correct but this has something to do with cgi, right?

This book also doesn't tell me how to use any kind of graphics; researched it on the internet: something about OpenGL?
Again...know any good reading that could help me?

when a game is a mmorpg like PS, it has two parts...right? one part being on the server sending data to players about where everything is and the other on our computers which generates visuals from the files on our computers?

what software(compilers and such) are you using to make planeshift or what would you reccomend I use?

Thanks
