Im still using the .98 version with MSVS .NET and was told that CVS was undergoing some major changes. Should I get the CVS version of crystal space now? Is it stable?

I am getting some errors due to an unresolved external symbol. One error is pasted for reference.

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static bool __cdecl csInitializer::OpenApplication(struct iObjectRegistry *)"(?OpenApplication@csInitializer@@SA_NPAUiObjectRegistry@@@Z) referenced in function "public: bool __thiscall Simple::Initialize(void)" (?Initialize@Simple@@QAE_NXZ)

I get similar errors for the csCommandLineHelper and iSCF classes. I also got some unresolved external symbol errors for the csPrintfV(), csPrintf(), and csDefaultRunLoop() functions. Can anyone tell me off the top of thier head what libs these classes and functions are in and how I can make MSVS.NET 2003 link them in? I of course have linked in libs in previous MSVS projects but I would like to hea rhow other programers have done it...

Im using CS0.98 in MSVS.NET 2003 on WinXP.
THX!

Here is one of there errors I got due to an unresolved external symbol:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static bool __cdecl csInitializer::OpenApplication(struct iObjectRegistry *)"(?OpenApplication@csInitializer@@SA_NPAUiObjectRegistry@@@Z) referenced in function "public: bool __thiscall Simple::Initialize(void)" (?Initialize@Simple@@QAE_NXZ)

I get similar errors for the csCommandLineHelper and iSCF classes. I also got some unresolved external symbol errors for the csPrintfV(), csPrintf(), and csDefaultRunLoop() functions. Can anyone tell me off the top of thier head what libs or .dll's these classes and functions are in?

I am using .98 in MSVS.NET 2003 on WinXP.

I have found volatile.h and have also made it through the include path problems for the header files. Now it seems that I am having trouble will .lib files as I have lots of unresovled symbols. Some of them are csIntializer and csCommandLinehelper objects. These obviously exist in lib code. I have my additional dependencied path set to:

..\..\libs\csutil\win32\libs

THX!

Ill continue working with .98 for the next couple of days just for fun and look at CVS after that. My next problem is a file called volatile.h . I went to the .98 manual and began following simple1 in those docs. After sorting through some initial include problems, the compiler gave me a message that the file volatile.h could not found. And I indeed found that this file ACTAULLY does not exist as opposed to the other files which do exist. I just had to make sure the compiler knew where to find them. So volatile.h? is there such a file?

THX Again!

I see. What are the pros and cons of using .98 vs CVS? I am just starting and this would be an ideal time to switch if CVS offers many more options and capabilities that .98 does not. Should i switch to the CVS version?

I am trying to get tutorial 1 working. However after entering the code from page 4.3.1.1 from the new docs into MSVS .NET 2003 and building.. i get the error:

crystalspace.h cannot be found. 

After a search I found that there indeed is no file on my hardrive named crystalspace.h . Did I miss something somwhere?

THX!

I also had quite A LOT of errors when compiling the first time. However, after getting the cs-win32libs package.. and manually putting those libs dlls and header fiiles in the directory where CS was looking for them... I got things to compile and run, with help from users on this forum.   Did you download and run the cs-win32libs package? If not you definetly need to get that.

I actually was NOT running the testapps (walktest, csdemo) from the CS directory. After going to the right directory and running things, I had a few errors with dll's not being located. I copied the needed dll's to the CS directory and the apps ran fine, vfs and all. However, the need for copying the dll's to that directory, and seeing the other libs and include files that were installed by the cs-win32libs package, I am now wondering if my own applications will have problems running due to the fact that these files did not make it to the appropriate directories. Maybe I should start be asking Where the includes, libs and dlls Should Have Gone after running the cs-win32libs installation?

THX!

I am using the latest stable release 0.98r004. I compiled it with MSVC 7 (.NET 2003) . To compile, I simply loaded the wkstypical.sln solution file and clicked biuld from the Build menu. It seemed to be able to compile all 177 projects. ( no warnings, no errors). Thx so much for your help!

also... my VFS seems to not be working.. simple1 was not able to load stone4.gif and simple2 couldnt load sprite1 .. hmmm..

Hi all, When running walktest.exe I get the error "Failed ot initialize config!" I am using .NET 2003 and have gotten everything to run well at home. However, here at work (where my boss was nice enough to let me play with CS when idle time comes along) I recieved that error. Can anyone tell me about the things that can cause this error and where  I might look for a fix?

THX!

I've finally been able to get walktest.exe to run. Im reading all the tutorial things in the manual now. THX so much for the help!

I am running 3ds2lev.exe from the csdebud directory. I was given a message in the command prompt window to run 3ds2lev.exe from the csdebug directory after I compiled the CS code in visual studio. I then used "Start" from the Debug menu to run what was compilied. I am a complete newbie with this software and really have no idea what to expect or where to go for the next step. Thx so much for you help!

I have been able to get the VC7 open source code to compile. (badly there are .libs and .DLL's everywhere..) Running the resulting .exe file from the command line asks for options and a .3ds file... Can I get some information on what I am suppose to do at this time, what the options mean and how I can do more with .exe. program?
