question to koepi

hi. Stupid question, but there is: If i open core.dsw or core.dsp with visual c++ 6.0, nothing happens. Visual c++ opens, but won't show anything. So, how is possible to compile from your project ? What command do you use ? Thanks for your help

Forgive the late response. I just woke up from resting after moving back home :)

Opening the .dsw in vc6 shows nothing?

First off, if you haven't already done this, download and install the latest service pack & processor pack. Also be sure to download & install nasm http://www.octium.net/nasm/?page=download for the assembly sources and copy the exe to the ./bin directory of where you installed VC6. Rename "nasmw.exe" to "nasm.exe" if you downloaded the windows installer.

Now open the core workspace first. You should see the workspace window ungrey & display "core classes" and show ClassView & FileView tabs at the bottom. If you don't have this window open, right-click in the dark grey area and select "Workspace". You can navigate through the FileView tab to open the various sources.

Change core's active configuration to release and hit F7 (build).

Once that's done, close the core's workspace, open the vfw, change it to release and build it aswell.

If all goes well (there will be a few warnings when compiling the core sources. you needn't worry about these), you now have xvid.dll in <xvid drive & dir>/vfw/bin :)

[edit]
arg. and the wrong person. sorry :)

As far as I can tell he runs into the problem, that teh CR/LF are mixed up when using a *NIX checkout on windows.

Open the dsp and dsw file with wordpad, choose "save", answer with "yes overwrite".

After that everything should work fine.

Foxer: hehe, but I DO appreciate it if you help :)

Regards,

hi.

Funny that: I have followed your instruction, I have opened dsp and dsw with wordpath, save it, and the project load in visual. Funny he ? Hehe, who knows! again a strange bill bug that. Thanks anyway!
