The question is, WHAT did you check out?

Eg the URL and when and did you do an update since that time?

1. My nick is Darkvater
2. That is not a valid SVN url
3. Trunk does not have "openttd\complete\subsidiaries.c" so I have no idea what you have done.

VS8.0 creates the openttd.exe in a folder found in "../debug/openttd.exe" or "../release/openttd.exe"

Darkvater · Post by **Darkvater** » 05 Jun 2006 20:56

2. the url of the MINI_IN is svn://svn.openttd.org/branch/MiniIN
3. if you have ANY errors there will NOT be an exe.

Normally the openttd.exe file appears either in Debug\openttd.exe or Release\openttd.exe depending on what kind of configuration you chose.

hm...
sure, the branch is the mini_IN r4719M ?
hm... however, so i must use the latest version of mini_IN, someone posted a project solution for it.

The miniIN moved after that version into svn branch

If anyone has managed to successfully compile and subsequently run the trunk OpenTTD using Visual C++ express 2005, could they please post screenies of their include, bin and lib directories displayed their VC++ Directories window.

I have followed ALL the instructions on the wiki, on microsoft and suggestions in this forum to try and get this working, and I'm still getting tons of syntax errors etc. such as these:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include\winnt.h(5940) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'Buffer'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include\winnt.h(5940) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

I did manage to fix the problem that penticrack outlined with windows.h and winsock2.h by typing in the full filepath, but that has just created motre problems, such as the ones i outlined above.

I'm really keen on getting this working, so I can finally start to make some contributions to the game, and at the basic level, test out some of the great new patches being developed.

Edit: I did Typical(full) install of WIndows Platform SDK from the ISO download.

My VS 8.0 (should be the same on VC 2005 express) puts out some errors:
if i set the DirectX8.1 include dir first

Code: Select all

c:\programme\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\platformsdk\include\winnt.h(222) : error C2061: Syntaxfehler: Bezeichner 'PVOID64'
c:\programme\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\platformsdk\include\winnt.h(222) : error C2059: Syntaxfehler: ';'
c:\programme\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\platformsdk\include\winnt.h(5940) : error C2061: Syntaxfehler: Bezeichner 'PVOID64'
c:\programme\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\platformsdk\include\winnt.h(5942) : error C2059: Syntaxfehler: '}'
...

If i set it last it compiled without error!

Don't know how far this helps you

I got the same error.

For resolving, I commented out the bad line in winnt.h:

Code: Select all

typedef void * POINTER_64 PVOID64;

and written down after the commented line:

Code: Select all

//typedef void * POINTER_64 PVOID64;
typedef void *PVOID64;

After that I never got any compile error

i do not have that error. I only wanted to give a idea how to solve the problem.
I said if i move the directx 8.1 include dir last in the include list, it compiles without error. So you do not need to modify any header files.

I was able to compile OpenTTD using Visual C++ Express 2005, I just followed the steps given by Sebastiaan, it's pretty straignt forward. I have attached the screenshots in a ZIP file.

Thanks for the great guide Sebastiaan.

You're welcome

btw: where did you get that windows look? i like it

Has anyone got Openttd to build using VS 2005 Express with the latest Directx SDK (April 2006)?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

I followed Sebastiaan's wiki instructions precisely (except for the DirectX version) but I still get a lot of unresolved's.
The includes and library directories are similar to the wiki screenshots.

I'm pretty sure (not 100%) the unresolves are DirectX stuff.

Hazelrah · Post by **Hazelrah** » 30 Jun 2006 02:17

I installed MSVC2005 just before Sebastiaan wrote that wiki page, and to the best of my knowledge, those steps should work just fine for you. Make double sure that the DirectX includes have been pushed to the top, because that will give you problems.

Can you give the output (or maybe the first 20-30 lines) of what happens when you compile?

Thanks Hazelrah. I will post screenshots of my include & lib directories as well as a list of the unresolved's when I get home tonight.
