Compilation Issues
« on: December 18, 2003, 01:22:48 pm »
Two quick questions if people could please spare a moment:

1. I\'m compiling with MSVC and getting linking problems. Could someone please point me to a good list of all the external dependancies you need when building the client from scratch.

2. The file psbehave.cpp is not what I\'d expect. Can a user really just tweak this and get superman like characteristics, or will the server do these calculations itself and correct positional information?

Thanks.

1. You will need Crystal Space and CEL

2. Yes, the server will do (or does) all calculations, this is for anti-cheat

Thanks for the reply.

1. I\'ve got the CEL, but one of the files it was complaining about was zlib.lib. A download from zlib.net didn\'t provide any files which I could easily identify as the right ones.
Have I missed something here?

2. Oh Well - There goes my career as a super-hero 8-).

zlib.lib is a linking libary. Maybe your Visual Studio has a pre-built one? If not, just download Zlib and compile the zlib.lib file...

Crystal Space has a \"library package\" that you need to download that has a bunch of .libs .dlls that you will need.   Read up on that on the Crystal Space website.

I\'ve got those external libraries, and I\'m now passed the zlib stuff.

I\'ve downloaded the PS Code:
- planeshift-0.2.010FullSourceAndArt.tar.gz

And external stuff:
- Python-2.3.2-1.exe
- cel-2003-12-16[1].113701.zip
- cs96_004.zip
- msvc_libs_0.97dev006_py230.zip

The CS project seems to be consistently crashing my MSVC, and compiling PS is complaining about a lack of libcstool_d. It appears to be something of an impass!

Can you please let me know if I have the right files and if I\'m on the right path to getting the PS client compiling.

Cheers.

Make sure you build CS in debug mode because it is looking for the _d ( the debug version ) of Crystal Space libraries.  Or if you want you can edit the project files and just remove the _d on the library names if you have built CS in optimized mode and want to use that.   I am not sure if the \'optimized\' settings in MSVC are set to use the optimized CS libs.  It has been a while since I have built in windows since I use linux most of the time.


You are on the correct path but it is a not a straight line path and there are often many forks in the road :).

Yahooooo!

Did it all on my home PC and it worked pretty quickly.

Even managed to get an interesting pick:
