    • Visual Studio 11 Beta & GCC4

      I downloaded the VS11 Ultimate beta the other night and thought I'd try converting GCC4 to run in it.
      It was actually pretty straight forward.

      In the source code I had to update the following in GameCodeStd.h

      C Source Code

      1. #include <memory.h>
      3. becomes
      5. #include <memory>


      Then they moved the shared pointer classes out of TR1 and into the base STD namespace. So the following changed:

      Source Code

      1. using std::tr1::shared_ptr;
      2. using std::tr1::weak_ptr;
      3. using std::tr1::static_pointer_cast;
      4. using std::tr1::dynamic_pointer_cast;
      6. becomes
      8. using std::shared_ptr;
      9. using std::weak_ptr;
      10. using std::static_pointer_cast;
      11. using std::dynamic_pointer_cast;
      Display All


      From there I just had to rebuild the 3rd party libraries, after converting the projects from VS2010 to VS11. Bullet 2.79 would not build, due to STD namespace issues, so I downloaded version 2.80 and it built fine.

      The only library I did not touch was LuaPlus, because I couldn't get Jam to work the last time I tried, so i didn't bother trying this time.

      After that, I just copied the newly built libs and pdb files into ..\trunk\Source\Lib\Win32Debug and everything worked fine. i was able to rebuild each project, and debug both the EditorApp and TeapotWars.

      This might be a good temporary solution to anyone who might still be having issues with VS2010 Express. Although, I think Rez solved those for the most part.

      Nice work! Thanks for posting this.

    • You're welcome!

      I forgot to mention that during all the rebuilding I was seeing a lot of warnings for what looked like D3D Macro redefinitions (I'm at work at the moment, so I can't see them).
      But the builds still succeeded, so I didn't worry about them.

      Interesting, i'll have to try with a simple directory structure next time. I'm sure i'll have to build LuaPlus at some point in the future.

    • Kl1X: If you manage to get LuaPlus building in Visual Studio 2010 without any errors, let us know. Posting the solution file and any project files would be a huge help and, assuming it works for us, we'll go ahead and include them in the 3rdParty.zip file on Google code.

      That sounds like a challenge! I'll have to look into it. :D

    • Is that challenge open to anyone? I've had LuaPlus building in VS 2010 for a few months now, which I figured you (Rez) knew from me talking about getting it to build and linker errors... I could post mine if that helps, or I'll leave it for Kl1X :) (Unless you meant VS11, which I am building under, but as a VS2010 project.)

    • I didn't know you got it to actually work. Send me your 2010 project files and I'll test them out. If it works, I'll add them to the 3rdParty zip file.
