Compiling OpenTTD

[gigajum]

Now I'm having a new problem, and still haven't managed to get OTTD to compile succesfully. I've reinstalled all components, and checked my paths, but now I'm getting a mass of syntax errors in winnt.h and winbase.h, and really have no idea why. I could post the build log if anyone wants it, but here's a sample of the first few errors to appear.

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include\winnt.h(222) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'PVOID64'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include\winnt.h(222) : error C2059: syntax error : ';'

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include\winbase.h(5056) : error C3409: empty attribute block is not allowed

The Directx 8 include directory must be the last entry then it works.

Sorry gigajum,

Lol, it looks like i did express myself a bit wrong. I had to look up some things on a german win2k version. I have no idea what's the correct english translation. Also i have VS8 running, it is only not configured, that is all.

There are svn command-line binaries for windows. Download them, and move them into a directory which is listed in you %path% variable. And try to compile openttd again. http://subversion.tigris.org/files/docu ... -1.3.2.zip

that link should be the right to the win32 command line files for svn.

i hope i expressed myself better this time

i tried it myself and got "OpenTTd norev000" so it looks as it does not work under MSVS8 or MSVC++2005.

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured.

I still say there has to be a way to /D a string, not just an array of individual characters. In the end they're both the same to C!

But why is that version number so important on custom builds?

I looked at the linux Makefile and the version number is generated that way:

Code: Select all

ifdef RELEASE
REV:=$(RELEASE)
else
ifeq ($(shell if test -d .svn; then echo 1; fi), 1)
REV_MODIFIED := $(shell svnversion . | sed -n 's/.*\(M\).*/\1/p' )
REV := $(shell LC_ALL=C svn info | awk '/^URL:.*branch/ { BRANCH="-"a[split($$2, a, "/")] } /^Last Changed Rev:/ { REV="r"$$4"$(REV_MODIFIED)" } END { print REV BRANCH }')
endif
endif

To get that working like under linux you need a sed.exe, a awk.exe and then write that into rev.c. Then add in your vs8 project file an VCPreBuildEventTool (see lang project files for more infos) which creates your rev.c
For the problem with the executables take a look at http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

This is only an idea how to get it working under windows!

Thanks DaleStan. Since you reminded me what I was looking for I gave it another try.

Well, I've never actually done this (I usually use the "#define in network.h" trick), but let's see.

*poke* *prod*

You're not escaping the double quote symbols; the /D you need is:

Code: Select all

/D "WITH_REV_HACK=\"whatever\""

It will also work without the outer double quotes:

Code: Select all

/D WITH_REV_HACK=\"whatever\"

I have the same problem as Simkid had, only I can't seem to fix it, not by reinstalling the PSDK, not by changing the order in which the dx lib/include files are in the list.... frankly, not by anything so far

Could anyone give me some more info on this?

The errors are all the same, for lots and lots of different compiled .c files, they are all this:

With the latest Win32 Platform SDK you may (will) get this error, at least in 0.5.0.RC5 but most probably also in trunk.

        c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0\include\shobjidl.h(5187) : see declaration of 'SORT_ASCENDING'

The reason is that openttd doesn't define a win32 target platform, so the sdk will default it to 'latest supported' which is Vista/IE7. In this case, there is a conflict between Openttd.h and the SDK.

For this reason, plus that we don't want to target Vista but 'win98 and up' (i guess), we should define WINVER, _WIN32_WINNT, _WIN32_IE_ and NTDDI_VERSION defines.

Proposed patch: Insert following code before WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in stdafx.h:

Code: Select all

// Set the win32 target platform:
# define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500 //Win2000
# define _WIN32_IE_ 0x0401 // 4.01 (win98 and NT4SP5+)
# define WINVER 0x0400 // NT4 == 98
# define NTDDI_VERSION 0x05000400 //Win2000 SP4
// end set the win32 target platform

For completeness, all the defines as found in latest sdkddkver.h:

Code: Select all

//
// _WIN32_WINNT version constants
//
#define _WIN32_WINNT_NT4                    0x0400
