Microsoft Visual C++ Compilation Error - Erall - 05-27-2013
Hey everybody.
I've discovered this C++ Minecraft Server and I wanted to have fun with it by modifying the sources. I downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express, started a new project, and imported all the files from the SVN.
The matter is that once I compile it, I get a lot of errors like "Cannot open include file: 'json/json.h': No such file or directory" (probably 20 time and more) or like "Cannot open include file: 'Globals.h': No such file or directory".
Actually only a "../" is missing and also the json folder is called "jsoncpp-src-0.5.0" but I guess there's a way to tell the software to look in others folders.
It's why I'm posting here, any help ?
Thanks in advance

If you open "trunk\VC2008\MCServer.sln" then it should work. Even with VC2010.

Yeah don't start a new project, use the solution and projects that are already on the repository.
RE: Microsoft Visual C++ Compilation Error - Erall - 05-27-2013
Ah okay ! Thank you really much. I do have some conversion errors I will look what I can do.
By the way if you still use the 2008 version maybe the 2010 one suck ?
RE: Microsoft Visual C++ Compilation Error - FakeTruth - 05-27-2013
2010 is fine, but IMO it runs somewhat slower than 2008
RE: Microsoft Visual C++ Compilation Error - Erall - 05-27-2013
Okay, thank you. I'll try it later

I personally use the MSVC 2008 Express IDE because it's lightning fast. The MSVC 2010 is terribly slow, but it produces slightly (marginally slightly) better code. For me, the 0.5 % increase in code performance is not worth the slowness of the IDE.
MSVC 2012 doesn't run under WinXP and cannot produce code that runs under WinXP, so it's out of question.

well, there are ways to compile code in visual studio 2012 that can run on XP. However, I remember that we had a problem in visual studio 2012 where our leakfinder was running out of memory.

Ok thank you for informations.
A last question : I work under windows, but my server is running under linux.
Is there a way to compile the sources to make a file which is compatible with linux and not a .exe file ?
RE: Microsoft Visual C++ Compilation Error - xoft - 05-28-2013
Not easily. By far the easiest solution is to use a remote shell (putty / ssh) to connect to the linux server and follow the "compiling on linux" part of the wiki:
