What version of Crystal Space? What version of the winlibs package? Also can you show us the FIRST errors you get. Not the final summary.

Greetings,

Hey, i have registerd...im using "cs-pseudo-stable-2005-0903" and "cs-win32libs-0.98r004_001"

The first errors are

Code:

------ Build started: Project: libcrystalspace, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Compiling...
ansiparse.cpp
f:\petters filmgreier\cs\include\csutil\win32\csosdefs.h(223) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windef.h': No such file or directory
appdir.cpp
f:\petters filmgreier\cs\include\csutil\win32\csosdefs.h(223) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windef.h': No such file or directory
archive.cpp

and so on....

That's the wrong winlibs. The pseudo stable needs version 015 which you can get from http://crystalspace3d.org/cvs-pseudo-stable/cs-win32libs-0.99r0_015.exe

If you are using the express edition you MUST follow these instructions to the letter:

I STILL!!! get the same problems

Code:

floatrand.cpp
f:\petters filmgreier\cs\include\csutil\win32\csosdefs.h(223) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windef.h': No such file or directory
appdir.cpp
f:\petters filmgreier\cs\include\csutil\win32\csosdefs.h(223) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windef.h': No such file or directory
csprocessorcap.cpp
Build log was saved at "file://f:\Petters Filmgreier\CS\out\debug\build\libcrystalspace\BuildLog.htm"
libcrystalspace - 132 error(s), 0 warning(s)

PLEEEEEEES help me

That probably means that you didn't precisely follow the instructions in the article mentioned by dingobloo.

[Dotten]

i tryed it one more time, and still it says that it's missing "windef.h"

[dingobloo]

It likely that you have made an error in specifying your include files because windef.h is infact in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\include

Which it says to add to your include paths.

[Dotten]

this is what the screen looks like


and now i get this ========== Build: 12 succeeded, 161 failed, 4 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

[Dotten]

i can't get it to work, is there an easier way???

[snnicko]

If you still have this problem, follow the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/.

Go to Start -> All Programs(if you are using XP) -> Microsoft Plaftorm SDK for Windows Server 2003 SP1 -> Visual Stidio Registration ->Register PSDK directories with Visual Studio. If you get a warning just ignore it. You will still need to do steps 4 and 5 at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/.

this Screen you showed is the incorrect one, you should be including the files it said in options>Projects And Solutions>VC++ Directories> and change the Show Directories For: include files.
