Preface

This is an old document assembled by silver for building TCB. In most part it's accurate but it might be missing some steps or some things may have to be done. Consider checking the other document in the repository for building the Windows version of the game.

In addition to the below steps, you will also need to download and build jsoncpp-src-0.6.0-rc2.

Steps

  • Compiling DROD:TCB from scratch on Windows XP
  • 1 September 2008
  • by silver Harloe

This is a diary of what silver did to make compile DROD:TCB from scratch on Windows XP. No guarantees, warantees, or promises of help come with.

(see http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=15611&page=0#258890)

  1. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/downloads/default.aspx Under "step 2," I selected "Go!" under "visual c++". This downloaded vcsetup.exe - I just put it on my desktop, I assume whereever is fine
  2. I ran vcsetup.exe. I personally chose not to send my setup experience to MS, and did not check options for MSDN express or the SQL Server thing. I assume that checking these or not is unimportant for DROD.
  3. After install it brought up a box with two links: one to get updates, one to register. I selected register, which brought up a webpage. Since I do not already have a "Windows Live" ID, I signed up for one. It was nice enough to remember I was trying to register VC++ after signing up, and so I registered on the next page. It sent me three emails, 2 of which yahoo marked as "bulk". I confirmed my email address with the link from the second email, and finished my registration with the link from the third email. I was sent a 14 character registration code. The Windows Update link is just the generic OS upgrade and not VS specific, so I ignored it and closed the (finished) installer.
  4. Back on http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/downloads/default.aspx Under "step 3", I selected "Download Visual C++ 2005 Express SP1" (since I'm not using Vista, I ignored the Vista related section below). This downloaded VS80sp1-KB926748-X86-INTL.exe, again I just put it on my desktop and ran it. ("ok," "i agree," (wait), "ok.")
  5. From the Start Menu, I navigated to and ran Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. Once it was done with first time stuff, I went to "Help" and selected "Register Product" and entered the code from step 3. My code was invalid (possibly because I took too long to get here after step 3), so I selected "register now" and this time did have a Windows Live ID, so I logged in and it gave me a new key, which worked. I selected "no" to the anonymous survey, but I assume this is moot.

Okay, now I have VC++ Express installed and registered, but I will be wanting to make standalone executables, so I need to do some more installation...

  1. using Internet Explorer, I went to http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/ Under "step 2," I selected "Platform SDK" On the next page, since I have genuine Windows, I hit the "Continue" button, and on the next page I hit the "Download" button next to PSDK-x86.exe. I went ahead and downloaded to my desktop.
  2. I ran PSDK-x86.exe... wait for installer to work, next, I agree, next, typical, next, next, next... then I read a few dozen pages of the top novel on my stack of books... after a long long time, this installed it to the default path of C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2.
  3. In my favorite text editor, I opened up the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcpackages\VCProjectEngine.Dll.Express.Config I edited the Inlude="" line by adding this inside the quotes, at the end: ;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include\mfc I edited the Library="" line similarly, adding: ;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib And the Path="" line: ;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin Saved the file and exited.
  4. I opened up a command prompt window and typed: cd "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VCExpress\8.0" then did a "dir". Had the file "vccomponents.dat" existed, I would have removed it.
  5. Back to my favorite editor, I opened up the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjectDefaults;corewin_express.vsprops I edited the AdditionalDependencies line from: AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib" to: AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib" Saved the file and then...
  6. Opened up the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCWizards\AppWiz\Generic\Application\html\1033\AppSettings.htm I searched for WIN_APP.disabled and changed it from true to false. Right below it, I also set to false. WIN_APP_LABEL.disabled, DLL_APP.disabled, DLL_APP_LABEL.disabled. Saved the file and exited.

In theory I can now compile standalone executable windows apps. On to the DROD Specific stuff.

  1. http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=98165 Downloaded the 3.x source to my desktop (today it was 3.2.1.84), and unzipped it a folder I made there, so I have a Desktop\drod\DROD32Source folder
  2. I opened up Desktop\drod\DROD32Source\Master\Master.sln in my favorite text editor (not yet in VC++) and edited line 22, wherein it says ..\..\BackEndLib\BackEndLib.vcproj to just ..\BackEndLib\BackEndLib.vcproj and edited line 24, making the same edit (remove ..) for FrontEndLib then removed lines 16-21 (the CaravelNet Project, since source for that was not included) Saved the file and exited.

Let's start getting third party software...

  1. I made the directory Desktop\drod\ThirdParty
  2. downloaded http://curl.haxx.se/download/libcurl-7.15.2-win32-msvc.zip to that folder and extraced to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libcurl-7.15.2-win32-msvc
  3. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10127&package_id=11277 selected "expat_win32bin_2_0_1.exe" downloaded to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty ran it, but changed the extract path to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\Expat-2.0.0
  4. downloaded http://www.fmod.org/index.php/release/version/fmodapi375win.zip and extracted to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\fmodapi375win
  5. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5624&package_id=5683 had to scroll down and click on 1.2.25 to find the version used in drod, but found a link to lpng1225.zip extracted it to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\lpng1225
  6. downloaded ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/jpegsr6.zip and extracted to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\jpeg-6b
  7. downloaded http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.0beta2.zip and extracted to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libtheora-1.0beta2
  8. downloaded http://www.equi4.com/pub/mk/metakit-2.4.9.7.tar.gz and extracted to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\metakit-2.4.9.7 (I had previously downloaded/installed gzip and tar binaries for windows)
  9. downloaded http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel-1.2.12-VC6.zip and extracted to Desktop\drod\SDL-1.2.12
  10. downloaded http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/release/SDL_ttf-devel-2.0.8-VC6.zip and extracted to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\SDL_ttf-2.0.8
  11. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3157&package_id=3121 had to scroll down and click on 1.2.25 to find the version used in drod, but found a link to ft214.zip extracted it to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\freetype-2.1.4
  12. downloaded http://www.zlib.net/zlib123.zip extracted it to Desktop\drop\zlib (slight pain here: they didn't include the top-level directory in the zip file, so I had to make the directory and extract all the zip contents to that to prevent polluting ThirdParty)
  13. http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ogg/libogg-1.1.3.zip and extracted to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libogg-1.1.3
  14. http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.2.0.zip and extracted to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0

Okay, now we have everything, but not all in useful form. I think the goal here is to get all these built up so that I have one or more .lib and .h files. (at least one per third party lib)

these are built for me: cURL, Expat, fmod, SDL, SDL_ttf. so on to build the rest.

  1. double-clicked Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\metakit-2.4.9.7\win\msvc70\mksrc.sln that brought up the "upgrade wizard" which I let run (with backups). In the top menu I selected "Build" and drug down to "Configuration Manager..." In the resulting box, in the upper right was a dropdown labelled "Active solution configuration:" I dropped it down to "Debug", then hit the "Close" button in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked the "mklib" project and selected "Build". Then in the top menu I selected "Build" and drug down to "Configuration Manager..." In the resulting box, in the upper right was a dropdown labelled "Active solution configuration:" I dropped it down to "Release", then hit the "Close" button in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked the "mklib" project and selected "Build" again it built with some warnings, it seems I'm now done with metakit.
  2. double-clicked Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\lpng1225\projects\visualc71\libpng.sln that brought up the "upgrade wizard" which I let run (with backups). In the top menu I selected "Build" and drug down to "Configuration Manager..." In the resulting box, in the upper right was a dropdown labelled "Active solution configuration:" I dropped it down to "LIB Release", then hit the "Close" button in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "Solution 'libpng'" and selected "Build Solution". Then in the top menu I selected "Build" and drug down to "Configuration Manager..." In the resulting box, in the upper right was a dropdown labelled "Active solution configuration:" I dropped it down to "LIB Debug", then hit the "Close" button in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "Solution 'libpng'" and selected "Build Solution" again. zlib and libpng both built, but pngtest failed. I ignored that (the problem is missing pngtest.png) (side note: copying pngtest.png from Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\lpng1225 to Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\lpng1225\projects\visualc71\Win32_LIB_Release\Test and manually running pngtest.exe resulted in success) it seems I'm now done with libpng and got zlib as a bonus.
  3. double-clicked Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\freetype-2.1.4\builds\win32\visualc\freetype.dsw that brought up a converstion wizard, so I hit "yes to all". in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "Solution 'freetype'" and selected "Build Solution". it built with some warnings, it seems I'm now done with freetype.
  4. double-clicked Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libogg-1.1.3\win32\ogg.dsw that brought up a converstion wizard, so I hit "yes to all". In the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "ogg_static" and selected "Build". Then in the top menu I selected "Build" and drug down to "Configuration Manager..." In the resulting box, in the upper right was a dropdown labelled "Active solution configuration:" I dropped it down to "Release", then hit the "Close" button in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "ogg_static" and selected "Build" again it built with no warnings, so it seems I'm now done with libogg (though I possibly don't need this for DROD directly, I do need it for the next four steps)
  5. double-clicked Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\win32\vorbisenc_static.dsp that brought up a converstion wizard, so I hit "yes to all". in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked on the "vorbisenc_static" project and selected "Properties" on the left side of that window, I selected "C/C++" in the top line on the right-hand box ("Additional Include Directories"), I changed "....\ogg\include" to "....\libogg-1.1.3\include" then I clicked "ok" to dismiss the properties window, In the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "vorbisenc_static" and selected "Build". this asked me to save "vorbisenc_static.sln", so I hit "Save" on that window. Then in the top menu I selected "Build" and drug down to "Configuration Manager..." In the resulting box, in the upper right was a dropdown labelled "Active solution configuration:" I dropped it down to "Release", then hit the "Close" button in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "vorbisenc_static" and selected "Build" again it built with some warnings, so it seems I'm now done with vorbisenc.
  6. double-clicked Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\win32\vorbisfile_static.dsp that brought up a converstion wizard, so I hit "yes to all". in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked on the "vorbisfile_static" project and selected "Properties" on the left side of that window, I selected "C/C++" in the top line on the right-hand box ("Additional Include Directories"), I changed "....\ogg\include" to "....\libogg-1.1.3\include" then I clicked "ok" to dismiss the properties window, In the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "vorbisfile_static" and selected "Build". this asked me to save "vorbisfile_static.sln", so I hit "Save" on that window. Then in the top menu I selected "Build" and drug down to "Configuration Manager..." In the resulting box, in the upper right was a dropdown labelled "Active solution configuration:" I dropped it down to "Release", then hit the "Close" button in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "vorbisfile_static" and selected "Build" again it built with some warnings, so it seems I'm now done with vorbisfile.
  7. double-clicked Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\win32\vorbis_static.dsp that brought up a converstion wizard, so I hit "yes to all". in the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked on the "vorbis_static" project and selected "Properties" on the left side of that window, I selected "C/C++" in the top line on the right-hand box ("Additional Include Directories"), I changed "....\ogg\include" to "....\libogg-1.1.3\include" then I clicked "ok" to dismiss the properties window, In the solution explorer on the left, I right-clicked "vorbisfile_static" and selected "Build". this asked me to save "vorbis_static.sln", so I hit "Save" on that window.

  9. I opened up a command prompt and typed the following commands: cd Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\jpeg-6b C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include set LIB=%LIB%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib copy jconfig.vc jconfig.h nmake /f makefile.vc nodebug=1 it seems I'm now done with libjpeg.

now all my third-party libraries are built, it's time to move on to actually compiling DROD itself. yay.

  1. I started up Visual C++ and on the top menu selected "Tools" and then scrolled down to "Options". In the resulting dialog box, in the navigator on the left, I opened up "Projects and Solutions" and under that selected "VC++ Directories". Once I selected that, there was a drop-down on the upper-right of the dialog box. I scrolled down to "Include files" in that. In directory list I started clicking the blank line below the already existing directories, then pasting in each of these lines, one at a time: C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\Expat-2.0.0\Source\lib C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\SDL-1.2.12\include C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\SDL_ttf-2.0.8\include C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\fmodapi375win\api\inc C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\jpeg-6b C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libcurl-7.15.2-win32-msvc\include C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libogg-1.1.3\include C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\include C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libtheora-1.0beta2\include C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\lpng1225 C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\metakit-2.4.9.7\include C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\zlib

  2. With the dialog still open, I went back to the drop-down in the upper-right and scrolled it down to "Library files". Using the same click and paste one line at a time (darn them for refusing multi-line pastes), I added all these lines to that list: C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\Expat-2.0.0\Bin C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\SDL-1.2.12\lib C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\SDL_ttf-2.0.8\lib C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\fmodapi375win\api\lib C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\freetype-2.1.4\objs C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\jpeg-6b C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libcurl-7.15.2-win32-msvc C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libogg-1.1.3\win32\Static_Release C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libogg-1.1.3\win32\Static_Debug C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\win32\VorbisEnc_Static_Release C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\win32\VorbisEnc_Static_Debug C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\win32\VorbisFile_Static_Release C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\win32\VorbisFile_Static_Debug C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\win32\Vorbis_Static_Release C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libvorbis-1.2.0\win32\Vorbis_Static_Debug C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libtheora-1.0beta2\win32\Static_Release C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\libtheora-1.0beta2\win32\Static_Debug C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\lpng1225\projects\visualc71\Win32_LIB_Release C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\lpng1225\projects\visualc71\Win32_LIB_Release\ZLib C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\lpng1225\projects\visualc71\Win32_LIB_Debug C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\lpng1225\projects\visualc71\Win32_LIB_Debug\ZLib C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\ThirdParty\metakit-2.4.9.7\builds Then I went ahead and closed Visual C++ because I'm more comfortable with explorer than VC for doing the first part of the next step.

  3. So, finally I explored to Desktop\drod\DROD32Source\Master and double-clicked on Master.sln. This opened up Visual C++ with the DROD solution ready to go. I right-clicked on on the "drod" project in the navigator on the left, and scrolled down to "Properties" In the resulting dialog box, in the navigator on the left, I opened up "Configuration Properties", and under that "C/C++", and under that selected "Preprocessor". In the box on the right, I edited the "Preprocessor Definitions" and removed the ";CARAVELBUILD" from the end. In the upper left-hand side, I selected "Configuration" and drug down to "Release" Then once again made sure "C/C++", and under that "Preprocessor" was selected. In the box on the right, I edited the "Preprocessor Definitions" and removed the ";CARAVELBUILD" from the end. I right-clicked on on the "DRODUtil" project in the navigator on the left, and scrolled down to "Properties" In the resulting dialog box, in the navigator on the left, I opened up "Configuration Properties", and under that "Linker", and under that selected "Input". In the box on the right, I edited the "Additional Dependencies" and edited the part where it says "mk4vc60s_d.lib" to read "mk4vc70s_d.lib", and edited "libjpegd.lib" to read "libjpeg.lib" I right-clicked on on the "drod" project in the navigator on the left, and scrolled down to "Properties" In the resulting dialog box, in the navigator on the left, I opened up "Configuration Properties", and under that "Linker", and under that selected "Input". In the box on the right, I edited the "Additional Dependencies" and edited the part where it says "libjpegd.lib" to read "libjpeg.lib" I right-clicked "Solution 'Master'" in the navigator on the left, and selected "Build Solution". Pause for dramatic effect (and because it took a while to compile).

    I got an error compiling DRODUtil, but that's an optional, separate .exe - drod.exe was built and works - Also, when I rebuild the Master solution as a "release," DRODUtil built just fine.

Time to test.

  1. I went http://www.caravelgames.com/distfiles/DRODTCBDemoSetup.exe and saved that file to the Desktop\drod folder Then I clicked the installer but changed the install path to "C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\Test Build Debug", and changed the Start Menu folder to "DROD - TCB Test Build", and unclicked "create a desktop icon". When it was done installing, I did not allow it to launch yet.
  2. In the folder C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\Test Build Debug I created a subfolder called "orig" and moved drod.exe into it, then I copied in the drod.exe from "C:\Documents and Settings\silver Harloe\Desktop\drod\DROD32Source\DROD\Debug"
  3. I ran and played the DROD demo.
