Well dont feel bad, I just broke vc++X2k5
(dev-cpp has a much better acronym)
did you start from a compeltely clean slate… no sdk stuff loaded?
also did you add it to the includes in the proper order as suggested in the how-to… (I know you’ve probably done that already, just trying to throw out everything)
I had.
DIY is on hold tonight as I fucked up a wiring run and left myself no way to correct the error, so I’m gonna use the time to do a complete uninstall reinstall of VCEx, and the SDKs,
After that it’s back to Delphi for me.
ya know we can’t let you slide of this that easy… hahahah! :lol:
Well, that’s me done.
I uninstalled the MS SDK - and now when I try to reinstall it , the installer quits with some asinine message about the SDK not being in its’ default directory; well no shit, 'cos I just fucking uninstalled it. :evil:
So I can’t reinstall the SDK without hacking the reg (which I can’t be bothered with) or reinstalling, which isn’t going to happen.
g’night all.
ahhh to hell with it. I don’t like being beaten.
I hacked all of the MS SDK crap out of the registry, uninstalled VCE, and the Platfrm SDK.
Reinstalled just the Core MS SDK, and used Mod’s hack. Reinstalled VCE, and it compiles JUCE happily.
The moral of the story is, when faced with MS software and all else fails: uninstall it, pull the plug, then try again. :roll:

Never let the b0rg win.
question:
when creating new projects, what type shoudl we be using?
The Win32 section only offers Console App, but I’m pretty sure the .net managed stuff is not what we want.
Have you managed to get the sampleeditor code to compile yet by the way? If so, and you have a developed ‘solution’ then email it to me.
I’ve not tried it yet as I don’t want to fuck up my working VS.NET setup.
I take it you guys have seen this page?

Here’s how I create a new project that’s a win32 app…
- New -> Project from existing code
- Select VS C++ (only option)
- Fill out project name and location (a new directory)
- Make sure visual studio is checked (default)
- Select Windows application project (default)
- Fill any other specifics as needed.
- Click finish.
It’ll tell you that there are no files imported, but it won’t matter cos you’ll have a new project. I actually used this method to create the sln for the sample editor project… but you don’t want my sln… it’s so hacked and screwed up right now.
All the .net stuff confused me too… but this seems to work fine.
BTW, I knew you were gonna figure that shit out! 
It’s official, I commited to learning C++ beyond hacks. I even went out and picked up a book Robert suggested… Sam’s Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days (they didn’t have the 24hr version). So far so good. :lol:

well damn, that about sums it all up nicely. When I installed the Platform SDK originally it didn’t create the Microsoft SDK directories, but maybe I didn’t tell it to install the Core files only. Oh well, shit… it’s working! thanks for the info K.
Well, after a lot of installing and setting paths and stuff, it finally compiled. I have a couple of questions though. Is it supposed to produce a file somewhere, and what is a .sln and why does it want me to save it?
the sln is just vcex project file format
the juce lib should be in /juce/bin
Hmm… the only thing in the bin folder is jucelib_static_debug.lib and a folder called intermediate_win32.
OK, the lib is what you want, but you have compiled it in debug mode.
If you set the projecyt options to release and do a build you should end up with a non debug version as well
By the way, remember to add juce\bin to your libraries in the main options…
So now I have juce_static.lib as well as the other one, is that it?
yup
Awsome. I’ll play with getting the demo app running tommorrow.
excellent! more code freaks…
