VS 6 Compile guide?

wguidry · #1 09-27-2003, 04:55 AM

Can anyone who compiled the 5.0 CVS files using VS 6 post a quick how-to guide? I've searched, and haven't found anything. I'm running VS 6 Enterprise. Doesn't have to be a novel, I just need a quick single line step by step how to.

I.e File->new project
File->import (worlds.sln)

whatever....cheers guys!

Check this out. It's for .NET, but I can assure you the same concepts apply for VS6.

I'm a Win'tard and I figured it out.

Yeah I'm a tool.

Ok, hopefully SOMEONE will be able to shed some light on this gem.

Using Merth's guide for .net.

From the newest CVS (today) I do not have worlds.sln or zones.sln.

So, I used both worlds.dsp and zones.dsp.

Got 0 errors on compiling...everything went fine.

So I get ready to launch the server....looking for worlddebug.exe

..........

Still looking. Did a file search, does not exist on my box. is something messed up in the CVS? Cause I'm not getting a worlddebug.exe

Cheers

VC6 doesn't use the .sln files, it uses the .dsw (and .dsp).

If you compiled to a Release configuration, the name of the executables will be World.exe and Zone.exe.

In VS.NET, it compiles the binaries to ../build/ relative to the project directory.

Very good Merth.

Again, thanks for the heads up

Typed up a small insert for merth's guide for VS6 it can be found here.

I think I might be reviving a dead topic, but does this still work with the new Dev Releases? I dont care for the VS.NET and I only have VS.NET 2005 BETA1 Express.. it is horrible at importing, well.. I think it has to do with me, anyway I am much better at the GUI for VC6, can VC6 do the same as VC.NET can, besides compiling for the .NET framework?
