MaZaKa98 · Post by **MaZaKa98** » 2003-06-04 11:38

Hello all

I am addressing you guys, becuz I need help.
Well, I want to compile the dc++ source but unfortunately I have no experience in compiling. I am not expecting to be able to compile within 1 day...or 2 days...but I am eager to try.
that is why I need some help. It would be very nice, if you guys could tell me what I do need to compile the source.
I am currently using win2k...but dont know what servicepack.
I just want a complete listing of the software requiered for that procedure

later on, I will face to lots of problems I guess....

okie...hope to hear from all the helpers soon,

Check out the compile.txt file in the source archive(s). It contains much of what you need to know.

This is the software you need :

Either
Visual Studio 6.0 (or compatible program)
with SDK update
or
Visual Studio .NET
(maybe with SDK update)

You also need the stlport and WTL archive, but that is covered in compile.txt.

Good luck!

Hello sarf,

thx A LOT for your fst reply....I really appriciate that!!

however...I would like to know where it is best to download the stlport and WTL...cuz I read somewhere in the forum, that the links doesnt contain the complete version

could be nice, if you could give me the link where to download those files, which you know it is working for sure

and you know, me as a beginner try to compile...and I failed cuz of the software...that is really bad...cuz I would think I am doing something wrong...without realizing it might be the software

btw...the site where u put the link for your client...there is something wrong

check out the NEWS DATE...it is stated 1. JULY.... (not june

)

thx again sarf

Heh, thanks for the heads-up on the date - I just fixed it when I started to prepare my update.

The STLport and WTL package should be downloaded from the DC++ project files area on sourceforge (as stated in the compile.txt). Some people need to apply the patch that floats around these forums, but I have yet to have any problems with the "standard issue".

Hi sarf

okie...this is the step I am doing right now.
1st, I downloaded the STLport as well as the WTL package from the sourceforge.com ( http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dcpl ... p?download and http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dcpl ... p?download )

2nd: I install Visual Studio Net Architect (have some problems to install it, cuz I wasnt able to do the windows upgrade CD, and while installing it, an error occurs: Error 1935.An error occured during the installation of assembly component {F7B1ACC6-3906-4BC0-B2C7-D42F192C8C17},HRESULT:-2147319761

--> what shall I do? I cannot install Visual Studio Net

shall I install the STLport and the WTl first?!

Any way you slice it, you'll need Visual Studio.NET first.

Check that your machine is updated (this is a totally generic suggestion). Specifically, why don't you locate the install log for the Windows Component Update installer and try to figure out the error from what failed inside.

Hello GargoyleMT,

thx for your contribution

yes, I did already do the windows update, except updating the internet explorer from 5.5 to 6. I hope that wasnt the reason why it caused that matter. I wonder, if Visual Studio.Net isnt the same with Visual Studio Net Architect

man...I already failed in installing the software....too bad!!

but I wont give up...hope u guys will still lead me to the right direction

btw sarf...

I read somewhere in the forum, that if I still should be able to compile the source...I still will get lots of warnings....
i just want to ask, if you can give me a screenshot of those warnings...so I know that that is normal with those warnings...

Well, if it wants you to upgrade from 5.5 to IE6 (SP1 presumably), you should do so. This is a Microsoft product, and it works in mysterious ways. Or alternately is not used to hearing "No."

Visual Studio .NET comes in many flavors. They only differ, seemingly, in the utilities that are bundled in each package. And price. See MS's official page on the matter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/produ ... fault.aspx

hello all....

I finally succeeded to install the VC.net

it took me a long time to install it...but it is now!

I am using the Visual Studio.Net Architect version...do I still have to install the sdk platform?!
but I think I still have to install the STLport and the WTL package right?
sorry...if I post stupid questions...but I am really a beginner...have patience with me okie

so..what is next?

(ps: no error message while installing..

)

thx in advance

sarf · Post by **sarf** » 2003-06-07 03:46

Try getting and "installing" the STLport and the WTL package.

Then try to compile DC++ - if it fails you might have done something wrong while installing the STL/WTL so check out the forum for posts about it (there are quite a few).

If you still can't get it to work after your include files directory is correctly set up (read how to do this in the posts I mentioned), post here again and set up a link to your build log.

Make sure to apply the necessary patches to DC++ and to stlport... They're both available on this topic.

hi GarlyoleMT,

yes, I will remember this

but I heard there is some problems with compiling the source with vc.net 2003...is this right? cuz I only managed to install the 2003 version....and I can tell ya..it tool me hell of time to install it (on my laptop), but I am lucky it is installed now. For security reason for my C-Drive, I did make an image of my C-Drive with the vc.net 2003 installed...just in case I manage to do stupid things and mess up my laptop

..smart huh??!!

thx for reminding me GargoyleMT...I really appreciate that

I will let you all know how the compiling process was okie...just be patience with me

You'll need to find a windows port of the patch.exe program

http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA010446 ... x1/#difpat

And you'll need to apply the patches in this thread:

http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/forum ... 2003+patch
http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/forum ... 2003+patch

You'll need to learn a bit about how patch works. It's command line, and you commonly redirect standard input to it. You may have to strip off directory levels with a command line.

patch -p<#levels> < patchfile

All of this has a wealth of reference material on the internet, please check there.

ahhhh...

it sounds so complicated somehow...

I am only beginner...never dealed with vc++ before...and prompt....confronted with so many difficulties...

As one of my aunts likes to say: "Life's hard, wear a helmet"

It's very difficult, once you learn the tools. In fact, you come to depend on them.

(Figuring things out on my own is how *I* learn best. Sure, it's frustrating sometimes. But if it was easy... what's the point?)

MaZaKa98 · Post by **MaZaKa98** » 2003-07-08 07:38

thx

I guess it will take me another 1 or 2 months then, since I dont have that much time to play around

...I wonder if there isnt already one whole package of WTL and STLport fot vc.net 2003...just like for vc.net 2002

or even someone zip it...and make it available for others

however...I really appreciate your help...I will let u know more...if tired that patches okie...

thx

You just need visual c++ 6.0, vc .net, or vc .net 2003.

You can purchase Visual C++ .NET Standard (or 2003), it will work as well. You just won't be able to generate optimized executables. But Visual C++ can be had for <$100 versus (the best deal I could see) $900 (at codeproject) for Visual Studio .NET. Enterprise architect is another huge money upgrade.

hello all, hello GargoyleMT..

hope you are still in da house

as I already mentioned in my last threads, I succeeded to install the .net enterprice 2003 version and I recently started to "try" to compile the source

but I am not as lucky as others here...cuz I also failed to compile, and got some error messages :S

I put the include paths as it is reqiured in the compile.txt:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\STLport-4.5-0725
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\compileproject\DCPlusPlus-wtl7.0-src[1]
$(VCInstallDir)include
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include\prerelease
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include
$(FrameWorkSDKDir)include

and the error message I got is this:

client : error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'cl.exe'.

CL.EXE? Sounds like you wiped out an important path, since this is part of Visual Studio. Do your Executable Paths remain unmolested?

If so, you might want to try a repair install of .NET

DC++
