Trouble while Compiling CrystalSpace with Visual Studio 9.0

[Mulfycrowh]

Hello Folks !

I downloaded CrystalSpace.
I ran cs-win32libs-1.9_006.exe.
I chose to put the Win32 libraries within c:\CrystalSpaceLibs.
I loaded wkstypical.sln within Visual Studio 9.0.
I didn't forget to specify the Library files (Options) : c:\CrystalSpaceLibs\common\lib.

I built the solution.

Visual Studio tells me zlib.lib is missing ...

I do not understand why because this library is located within c:\CristalSpaceLibs\common\lib.

Could you help please ?


Many thanks !

You need to provide the right path to CS in the installer and you need to install “VC support”.

Also, you didn't say what version of CS. The CS and cs-winlibs versions have to match up - i.e. cs-winlibs 1.4* for CS 1.4, cs-winlibs 1.9* for CS 1.9.

Many thanks for your reply.

I dowloaded the latest CS version, I mean 1.4.0.
I have cs-win32libs-1.9_006.

I suceeded in compiling CS but there are still errors such as :

2>d:\programmation sous windows\crystalspace\crystalspace-src-1.4.0\plugins\gui\cegui\ceguirenderer.h(307) : error C2555: 'csCEGUIRenderer::createTexture': overriding virtual function return type differs and is not covariant from 'CEGUI::Renderer::createTexture'

Does it confirm mismatching between versions ?

It compiled very well with 1.4 Win32Libs !

Many thanks !
