Could someone help me?
thanx

best regards

In my WinUser.h (which is probably auto-included by windows.h, etc. then by juce) I have following:

Probably for HMONITOR is the same, basically you are either having old PlatformSDK (you can download the latest one off the Microsoft), or you are having your _WIN32_WINNT version to be 0x0400. It should be at least 0x0500 (that corresponds to NT 5.0 which is 2000/XP).

3

I’ve downloaded and installed the latest Platform SDK.
Now I have to set the new directories point to the new SDK?

Also the BIN or only LIB and INCLUDE?

thanx

4

Now with platform sdk I get these errors, less than before.
I’ve chenged the directories INCLUDES and LIB, not the exec ones

Googling through net did brought something:

http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/C_CPP/comp.lang.cpp/2003-12/0427.html

(I was looking for [“template class” “‘msc1.cpp’, line 1794”] - without the square brackets).

First, I’m not really C++ advanced (templates, etc.), but here is what you can try (I cannot, as I have already VSNET 2003 installed):

find the file called

juce_ReferenceCountedObject.h, go to line 154, the line is written like this:

inline ReferenceCountedObjectPtr (const eferenceCountedObjectPtr& other) throw()

Please add one “int dummy = 0”, as given in the workaround in the page, like this:

inline ReferenceCountedObjectPtr (const eferenceCountedObjectPtr& other, int dummy = 0) throw()

Hope it helps :wink:

I’ve lauched a find of msc1.cpp but in my Platform SDK folder there isn’t.

Where could I find msc1.cpp?

7

It’s an internal compiler error: msc1.cpp must be one of the source files for their compiler - very unlikely to be on your hard disk, unless you work for Microsoft’s compiler team!

Have you got all the latest patches for VC and the processor pack? And check the order of the library/header/executable paths.

Also try completely cleaning the project and trying again - sometimes the compiler can corrupt an intermediate file and that’ll make it crash later on.

Hi Jules,
I have MSVC++6 with SP5, Processor Pack, the latest Platform SDK 2003

I placed the new Platform SDK include and lib paths in the Option->Directories of Visual Studio 6.

9

Ah! I just remembered having the same bug ages ago… I think it’s because the compiler can’t handle long path names and that makes it crash. Try putting the code in a root directory instead.

10

It seems a huge works, I’ve to edit all your includes!

Are you sure is this the problem?
It may be, since it is a very long include:
11

I renamed juce_ReferenceCountedObject.h with juce_RefCountedObj.h.

Now the errors are with other .H
It is all recorsive. Doead exist a way to avoid rename all files or it is a bug of MSVC!?!?

12

eh? why are you renaming things?? Just move the whole source tree - it’s only because you’ve put it in some deep directory that the names are so long.

I build with it all in c:\code\juce and that works fine.

13

Ok, I’ll try

bye

14

YYYYEEESSS

It works, thanx Jules.

But, what has changed moving down to root all the juce stuff?

bye

Oy, that was the error the whole time? I’ve been compiling it in a virtual machine for the past couple months because of VC6 having a problem with idiotically long filenames (too many …'s), how… not suprising. My directory structure used to be g:\Programming\C++\API’s\Juce\juce_1_11\juce\etc… Much, so much thanks.

To reiterate, the error was because some of the header files were refrenced from other headers, which were referenced from other headers, too many layers deep, that caused a whole ton of …\ directory links so it went up the tree, down the tree, up the tree, etc… multiple times. Apparently the compilier does not know to just remove a … all the way up to the previous backslash before trying to stick it into a file access function in windows, which, mind you, only has a char buffer of 256 (unicode-)bytes (255+\0). I made a hardlink from my directory to a new drive made just for it (drive doesn’t actually exist, just a hardlink to the directory, I love NTFS…) so it is now R:\juce\etc…

May I recommend a sticky?

Question: Also curious, have you thought about abstracting the components, or making a subcomponent that can be placed in other things, such as an opengl window. Imagine an entire app existing inside an opengl window on Windows or Linux. No move flickers, real-time effects, basically just emulating the Mac10.5 Tiger setup to exist in other OS’s, like Windows and Linux. Yes it would be constrained to the opengl window, but it could still be placed onto the main desktop or main desktop windows as well. The problem I see with this, either need to create a whole new host of components that will solely exist for opengl/desktop, which ends up being far too much hassle, or converting all current components and functions to be abstracted a bit more, allowing them to be heavily buffered (wouldn’t would to call a Paint(graphics &g) every frame after all) and setup a flag to indicate it has a paint to do, erby updating the buffer. The latter method would be the most simple as you could just add a simple flag in the base component class that is set when repaint is called, acting normally on a desktop, but the opengl ‘desktop’ would update the buffer when it sees that in a frame, mabye a message to the opengl desktop if it exists, and possibly adding one more function, a Paint3D() or something, with an openGL area passed through with details about positioning and such, allowing it to use native opengl calls to allow real-time drawing with all effects as needbe. A side effect would be either making a whole ton of defines for when opengl is not compilied in, or making opengl a necessity for compiling…

Sorry, just random thoughts… Perhaps I should make another thread for that?

16

I’ve added a note about this to the build instructions now.

Have to admit I’ve absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I’m already looking at possibly using opengl to accelerate the rendering, if that’s what you mean, but it’d be internal and won’t affect juce apps.
