Running CEL in visual C++

[Jsrduck]

Hello,

CrystalSpace and CEL both successfully compiled for me, but when I try to run appcelstart, I get the error:
"The program can't start because crystalspace-1.4-vc9_d.dl is missing..."

I followed the instructions and added the directory which contains this dll (for me, C:\crystalspace-src-1.4.0\out\debug9\bin) to the VC++ directories  list through Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories. Yet it still can't find the dll.

Additionally, I noticed while looking at the properties that appceltst lists ..\..\..\CS\out\debug9\libs under "Additional Library Directories." This seems to assume that 1. My CrystalSpace directory is named CS (it's not) and 2. that the root CrystalSpace directory is in the same directory as CEL. I tried replacing ..\..\..\CS with $(CRYSTAL) but it didn't make any difference.

Thanks for your help,

Jordan

I'll give it a shot.

Given that you're on Windows (b/c you're using msvc++),
your environmental variables should look like this:

Crystal Space:
Name: Crystal
Value: C:\CS (or C:\...whatever)

CEL:
Name: CEL
Value: C:\CEL (or C:\...whater)

In VC,
Tools-->Options-->Project and Solutions-->VC++ Directories:
Under Include:
C:\CS
C:\CEL
Under Library:
C:\CS\out\release9\libs
C:\CS\out\debug9\libs
C:\CEL\out\release9\libs
C:\...

Note that the directory where you have CS installed is not necessarily that but wherever you have it located. Same is true for CEL.
Make sure to include the appropriate Preprocessor definitions and the appropriate Additional Dependancies
