Tons of errors compiling in VS2005

Post by qwick » 2006-02-14 14:44

Hi, I'm a noob to compiling, so please bare with me. I downloaded VS2005 express edition from microsoft, and then dowloaded the platform SDK and installed it. However i an getting litereally thousands of errors when i compile. I applied a patch i found for 2005 in another thread, but it has no luck. I really am at a loss here because i cant figure out what the problem is. Please help me! Here is just a sample of the errors i get:

DC++ will never be able to compile in the express edition, and does currently not compile even under the real MSVS 2005, the recommended compiler is MSVS 2003, which you can pick up pretty cheap now...

THis is due to the express edition not containig atl/wtl.

Getting it to compile under 2005 is no big work now, my patch at http://www.dcpp.net/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=689 should still work I think but it is possbile that even more of the original patch is no longer needed due to updates in the DC++ code, I haven't have any need to check as cvs updates patches eveything so nicely.

could i possibly download the missing file altbase.h? Or is it even more in depth than that missing file?

It is more than that.
It is _possible_ that you can get the missing files by downloading and installing the windows server 2003 platform SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en.But I gurantee nothing.

Well Yassl doesn't compile on 2005, which is why I said it's currently not possible, at least it wasn't last week :) The other stuff and some more tweaks I've already done, but alas the yassl library doesn't compile...

I am using the yassl provided from DC++ CVS and so far I haven't had any problems with that one at all without any modifications.

I'm pretty sure the folks on the WTL mailing list indicated that's only a 64 bit version of ATL and the 32 bit is not included.

qwick:
Seriously, though, this is documented in the FAQ on the Express Edition: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/expre ... /faq/#vcpp

Some have said there are ways to work around this, but this is not the place to discuss them. I'm fairly certain that by doing so you'll violate the license...

Then the chances are that you won't succeed.
