== How to Compile with Visual C++ 2005 Express ==
* [[Talk:Compiling under VS2005/20090316|Archive 2009/03/16]]


steps till being able to compile with V C++ 05 Express:
== Visual C++ Express 2005 Directories Setup ==


required:
After installing the Microsoft Windows (Platform) SDK, when setting up the directories in Visual C++ Express 2005 do you need to add "Source Files"?? It has one entry:


*MS DirectX SDK
$(VCInstallDir)crt\src
*MS Platform SDK


Tools - Options: Projects and Solutions - VC++ Directories
I found this directory in the Platform SDK:


upper right select "executable files" and enter "...\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin" (replace ... with your path of course)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\src\crt


"include files" --> "...\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include" and "...\Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005)\Include"
Just curious if it needs to be added.


"libary files" --> "...\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib" & "...\Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005)\Lib\x86"
== ==
OK, looks like I Googled for nothing, so I'm going to warn you guys now, if your getting errors, look in this page, because I Googled for 2 hours, just to be lead back to the page I started on, but at least it all works now, I'm glad for that. In conclusion, make sure you aren't looking at the fix before you Google for it...


== PRJ0019 ==


When I Build my Mod (Debug), I get this error:


dbg.h


add
echo Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Copying to c:\program files\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\hunternavan\bin\"
#pragma warning(disable : 4996)
after #pragma once (new line) to disable old, unsecure functions warning.


What do I do? --[[User:Adam.gamedev|Adam.gamedev]] 17:45, 12 July 2010 (UTC)


now the actual error fixes:
== gameinfo.txt ==


===All projects===
When I Debug my Mod, I get this error:
  Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory 'hl2'.
  Check your -game paremeter or VCONFIG setting.


Many, many instances of "error C2065: 'i' : undeclared identifier". This is where there is code like:
What do I do? --[[User:Adam.gamedev|Adam.gamedev]] 19:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
<pre>
for(int i=0; i<XXX; i++)
{
    //do something
}
 
for( i=0; i<YYY; i++)
{
    //do something else
}
</pre>
 
Change the first line to:
<pre>
int i;
for( i=0; i<XXX; i++)
''etc.''
</pre>
 
to fix these problems.

===Other Fixes===
 
I'm just trying out these...
 
For tolower() error:
 
baseentity.cpp(57)
 
add #include <ctype.h>
 
after #include "vphysics/friction.h" (L 57)
 
 
Linker errors with wchar_t as values:
 
Client->;Properties->C/C++->Language
and set Treat wchar_t as Built in Type to No.
 
This is because the Valve library vgui_control.lib is compiled with the option - Treat wchar_t as Built in Type - set to No so they need to be the same.
 
An alternative fix is to recompile vgui_control.lib with the option set to Yes - its found in src\vgui2\controls. So you need to back up vgui_control.lib - found in src\lib\public and recompile it with the option set to yes and then copy that to where the original one was that you backed up.
 
 
For the error C2065: 'i' : undeclared identifier. There are two ways to fix this.
 
Easiest way is to go to Client->;Properties->C/C++->Language and set
Force Conformance in For Loop to No.
 
Alternative fix would be adding the "int"-declaration into code. That's how i did it before and how it's described above.
 
 
The problem with strdup doesn't happen in debug mode since Valve overrides strdup with their own strdup func.
The heap error only shows itself when using the debugger in release mode.
I believe it's because strdup() in the C library that comes with 2005 express uses new() instead of malloc().
So when Valve frees the memory using free() it gives the error. Here's the fix I hope...
 
..\tier1\stringpool.cpp(73)
 
CHANGE
 
pszNew = strdup( pszValue );
TO
#ifndef _debug
pszNew = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char) * (strlen(pszValue) + 1)); // Use Valve's malloc instead of strdup
strcpy(pszNew, pszValue);
#else
pszNew = strdup( pszValue ); // Use Valve's debug strdup
#endif
 
 
..\cl_dll\c_baseflex.cpp(921)
 
CHANGE
 
g_flexcontroller[g_numflexcontrollers++] = strdup( szName );
 
TO
 
#ifndef _debug
g_flexcontroller[g_numflexcontrollers] = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char) * (strlen(szName) + 1)); //Use V's malloc instead of strdup
strcpy(g_flexcontroller[g_numflexcontrollers++], szName);
#else
g_flexcontroller[g_numflexcontrollers++] = strdup( szName ); //Use V's debug strdup
#endif
 
 
BotPutInServer linker failures
 
Various BotPutInServer lines will fail to link in DEBUG mode.
Commenting the BotPutInServer lines out works just fine.
It may have some negative affect on bots.
I quite frankly have not looked into that stuff at all, other than to see that it breaks the build.
 
Fix:
 
A better way would be
adding hl2mp_bot_temp.h and hl2mp_bot_temp.cpp
to the HL project under the Source Files->HL2MP folder.
hl2mp_bot_temp.h and hl2mp_bot_temp.cpp can both be found in yourmod/src/dlls/hl2mp_dll folder.
 
 
 
===Other Fixes / Comments===
 
got some info from [http://www.chatbear.com/board.plm?a=viewthread&t=104,1102070328,6443&b=4991&id=949052&v=flatold&s=0 this forumthreat]
 
i had some errors in c_rope
 
fixed it once with:
 
taking the closing "}" from ''( int iRenderCache = 0; iRenderCache < nRenderCacheCount; ++iRenderCache )''
 
behind ''++m_aRenderCache[iRenderCache].m_nCacheCount;''
 
(means from line 231 (i think) to line 252)
 
i'm still trying to complete this so it will compile, hope i could help anyone...

grml...
 
doesn't work neither with express nor with full version... maybe i'm just stupid...
 
I'll try again this weekend and update here...
 
[[User:Rotzi]] Feb 2006
 
 
And still I'm having problems... Just tried it again, Release Client only, but did not get past 3 kinds of errors, wich all in all were 190 errors and 439 warnings...
 
I also noticed that including user32.lib and excluding LIBC did not change these error-numbers, so atleast up to that point, it did not need them... Still I'm only talking about client-Release Only.

----
 
== Misc ==
I'll be getting a copy of Visual Studio 2005 (not express) in the next couple of weeks. Is there a problem compiling on it too or does anybody know yet? --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 07:11, 28 Jan 2006 (PST)
 
No, what i read is there are no Problems with normal, full Version of VS 05. --[[User:Rotzi|Rotzi]] 4 Fe 2006 (GMT+1)
 
 
''' Force:Multiple error in release - client '''
 
How come i get the error like described in the threat, but it won't be fixed by adding "/FORCE:MULTIPLE", but caused by that instead... caused means, without it it doesn't get to that error, or doesn't have it...
 
msvcrt.lib(MSVCR80.dll) : error LNK2005: _free already defined in memoverride.obj ''(thats the error)''
 
Added /FORCE:MULTIPLE to Linker->Command Line->Additional Options ''(and that should be the solution)''

Visual C++ Express 2005 Directories Setup

After installing the Microsoft Windows (Platform) SDK, when setting up the directories in Visual C++ Express 2005 do you need to add "Source Files"?? It has one entry:

PRJ0019

When I Build my Mod (Debug), I get this error:


echo Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Copying to c:\program files\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\hunternavan\bin\"

What do I do? --Adam.gamedev 17:45, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

gameinfo.txt

When I Debug my Mod, I get this error: 

 Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory 'hl2'.
 Check your -game paremeter or VCONFIG setting.
