[Ememjr]

I am trying to compile the server so i can test some changes i want to make

i get the following errors

Code: Select all

any suggestions?

Server just won't compile with VS2015, latest version it worked with is VS2013.

Those errors are a missing #include or macro in some files, the problem is once you get past those errors you will get a bunch more because some feature was removed in VS2015 and it would require a rewrite of an entire system. At least that was the case last time I tried to get it to work several months back.

thanks installing VS2013 let me compile

Well knock on wood, I have been able to compile in Linux pretty regularly with no issues. It does take a lot of legwork to get to the point of the first compile though

Jab, I have used VS2015 exclusively for some time, and I have no problems compiling EQ2World, as it relates to what you are explaining. I remember this coming up when Scat and I were messing with Old EVEmu code (maybe it was you, too) where there is a define you can put in to fix it, though I think it breaks something else. Either way, the only error I get >today< is oddly, cannot find EXE_NAME, in Log.cpp, which is clearly defined in Log.cpp itself. So that's weird.

Code: Select all

1>  Log.cpp
1>..\..\source\common\Log.cpp(169): error C3688: invalid literal suffix 'EXE_NAME'; literal operator or literal operator template 'operator ""EXE_NAME' not found
1>..\..\source\common\Log.cpp(169): error C2664: 'int _snprintf(char *const ,const std::size_t,const char *const ,...)': cannot convert argument 3 from 'int' to 'const char *const '
1>  ..\..\source\common\Log.cpp(169): note: Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

On these lines:

Code: Select all

#ifdef NO_PIDLOG
	snprintf(file, FILENAME_MAX, LOG_DIR"/%04i-%02i-%02i_eq2"EXE_NAME".log", tm->tm_year + 1900, tm->tm_mon + 1, tm->tm_mday);
#else
	snprintf(file, FILENAME_MAX, LOG_DIR"/%04i-%02i-%02i_eq2"EXE_NAME"_%04i.log", tm->tm_year + 1900, tm->tm_mon + 1, tm->tm_mday, getpid());
#endif

Well I could not get it to compile with VS2013
47 errors of error C2668: 'to_string' : ambiguous call to overloaded function in Commands.cpp

[Jabantiz]

/sigh that was stuff I had to add for Linux, I put it in an #if at the top of commands.cpp and thought I had it working, if you intend to just use windows you can nuke those functions and it should work. Linux without c++11 doesn't have those functions and why I had to add them in.

[Zcoretri]

I see...

[Jabantiz]

Linux always makes my life difficult...
I may actually just wrap it in a if not windows tag...

I should probably find a proper fix though.

This are same errors I got with 2017... guess I'll have to find a 2013 and install to see if works.

[Cynnar]

I don't have these errors using 2017. I started with 2013 then moved to 2015 and up to 2017 though. Maybe has something to do with it? Doesn't it do a conversion when you move from one version to another?

[John Adams]

A new problem, and oddly with LoginServer.exe build (devs only), though far as I know nothing in Login has changed?

The Player.h file has an initialize in the class, which VS2015 is saying is illegal.
Line 814

Code: Select all

bool custNPC = false;

Not that I'm your boss anymore, but you really should avoid using shorthand on variable names. The alphabet costs no money to use

The error:

1>d:\dev\eq2\eq2\trunk\source\worldserver\Player.h(814): error C2864: 'Player::custNPC' : only static const integral data members can be initialized within a class (..\..\source\common\DatabaseResult.cpp)

anywhere that file is included. Why Player.h is being included in DatabaseResults.cpp is a mystery to me.

[Jabantiz]

World compiles fine though? If so that is odd, must be some sort of command line flag set in the config's for login that makes that illegal. Is a simple fix of just moving the initialization to the constructor.

I was only messing with Login, I didn't try world, but that's exactly what I did; moved the = false to the constructor.

Let me guess, you were being lazy?

I'll have to check the settings. Odd that there would be a switch to allow that. You'd think it would be allowed in general.
