Cube engine will not compile in Visual C++ 2008 (or 2005) Almost solved

luaman55 | 2012-01-07 16:21

I was surprised no one asked this. I keep getting errors when I compile the original Cube Engine sourcecode in visual C++ 2008. But I get these errors.

Compiling...
cl : Command line warning D9035 : option 'Wp64' has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release
pch.cpp

I will put a link to the log file too. Help would be great.

the reason probably for this is that VC2008 converted the files improperly and i need something like mingw but with a gui

it has been almost a year and i still am thinking about it.
VC++ 2005 gives this

1>------ Build started: Project: sauerbraten, Configuration: Release Win32 ------

1>sauerbraten - 1 error(s), 2 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

also i switched to using an early sauerbraten engine instead of cube.

vc 2003 gives that it cannot find glext.h
d:\prj\sauerbraten\src\cube.h(475): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'GL/glext.h': No such file or directory

i add it to the header files and it still cant find it, Any help?

The original Cube is so old, it's a miracle the build files can be loaded. I've no idea what was used to compile Cube back in the day, but i'd give it a go with something older than 2005 =P

skiingpenguins | 2012-01-07 18:48

"GL/glext.h" looks like you might be missing that file? i would make sure you have that.

luaman55 | 2012-01-08 14:56

I have that file. I will try getting visual c++ 2005 and see if it works.

typhoon | 2012-01-08 22:14

If you're sure you have that file, just make sure the include path is set in the build options. I'm not sure if installing an older version of VCPP will help.

It is contestable that downgrading further will help any, but I suppose there may yet be a whisper of hope.

Suicizer | 2012-01-09 10:55

Maybe you could ask a person who's called "Nixot", as he made several Cube Engine 1 and 2 mods (like NewCube and Junex).

Windecker | 2012-01-09 20:41

Or one of the other six hundred people who commonly dabble with the code.

I personally use mingw to compile cube 1 on windows, builds perfectly out of the box (or compressed folder :P) every time, also IIRC, the code::blocks project still works perfectly

Mingw? Thanks i will try getting that and seeing if it will compile. thanks.

luaman55 | 2012-02-03 13:16

mingw does not really work for me it is a command prompt not gui

Xsaii | 2012-02-04 23:34

Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org/) defaults to MinGW and will compile using it behind the scenes. You won't need to muck around with command prompts. From reading jonlimle's post it seems there is a Code::Blocks project file included with the source, so you likely could just open that up and hit compile.

how is the compiling? I want to take the cube 2 engine and make my own engine with it...can you do that with visual basic C++?

RaZgRiZ | 2012-01-31 05:25

rofl.

Chasester_aka_you | 2012-02-01 06:57

-.- yes
but you probably should learn c++ :P fist

for curiosity sake:
i noticed that you are working on "hell bound" (a quake/doom style game). Are you thinking of using the cube engine for this because your website seems to presume that your using unity (which would probably) be better for this ;)

srbs | 2012-02-03 00:24

visual? No.
basic? No.
C++? Yes.

Chasester_aka_you | 2012-02-03 03:46

Visual basic (is not) visual (the language) or basic (the language) -.-
visual basic (or vs) is like chrome is to the internet, it is just html php and java and u could use ie (but that would be slow)

visual basic is a medium to compile the c++ code to create a exe (not really much to learn :) its all gui

we thought about unity and unreal but their licensing is to bogged down for us. We prefer open source,if we make a program most likely we will give it to every one else. That's why we want to modify the Cube 2 engine to make it better though it is cool already. we want to add panels with buttons and importers for MD5 and 3ds models and a few other things but keep most of cube 2 the same. code in Visual basic and C++ but also have a blender 3d logic brick/node system to where you can do commands just like in coding.
also save your game as a exe. file.

we know it will be a lot of work but this would be a great engine. to be made public to the masses.....

so what program can open the Cube 2 source code and let us edit it. will Visual Basic C++ do it?

what other programs?

thanks

srbs | 2012-02-10 03:46

Visual C++ 2008 I think, not sure if 2010 will work. Code::Blocks, Xcode, any text editor you can think of, I bet you could get an Eclipse CDT project working, anything that can read a .cbp or .vcproj file.
I think that's it. :)

luaman55 | 2012-03-04 15:27

uhh, Visual basic and Visual C++ are different.
