windows compiling help

[timber]

I am having some problem compiling on windows. The first problem I am having is 'gdk-pixbuf-csource' is not recognized as an internal or external command, I tried everything I can think of. I seem a couple posts here but the actual answer was not given. So how exactly do I add gdk-pixbuf-csource to Path?

If you read the instruntions you wouldn't make that question.
Just read them.

install.w32 contains all the information that you need, it is included with the xchat source code.

well i read the instructions and keep running into errors. I try to find where i am making my mistake and the only thign i can find is this

* gdk-pixbuf-csource must be in PATH.

because i am unsure how it is suppose to be set correctly in PATH. I just want to know exactly what I type in to make sure I got this part right

there's a mistake in INSTALL.w32
it has to be

- Under "User variables for <user>" append ";C:\devtools\bin" to the end of the PATH Variable

now that i registered and posted something, maybe you can help me with my problem . I'm trying to compile xchat 2.4.1 on VS.Net and did everything that was told me in the INSTALL.w32 file, but I'm getting the following errors:

Code: Select all

Stop.

but it goes on compiling other files until:

(sorry for german but i guess the error codes should be the same in every language and maybe someone had the same and can help me)
thanks in advance

found this:
http://hao2lian.f2o.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/Articles/XChat
and it compiles, but it crashes on close or connect (only first overview network screen works)

[Mike]

C2065 - Undeclared Identifier
C4047 - Differs in levels of indirection
U1077 - NMake Fatal Error Exit code 2

NMake fails to compile the lib because it could not compile all of the source files which is why you get the

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: '..\common\xchatcommon.lib' konnte nicht erstellt werden
Stop.

Might be something missing from path causing it not to find the file where 'source' is defined

[Grinch]

"source" is defined in that file, but not in that function. I changed it to sok like suggested in the link above, but sok is another variablestype and i think this is the cause why xchat crashes on "connect"

edit: just downloaded the latest server.c via cvs. compiles fine, but still crashes.. seems to be another problem.. i'll check that

this is bumping a really old topic but hey, whatever, just to let others interested in the solution know:

gtk is linked to msvcrt.dll, so you cannot use a vc7, vc7.1 or vc8 compiler unless:

1. you change the msvcrt.lib in the lib directory of where you installed VS to the one in silverex's page

or

2. you use a gtk2 linked with the same compiler you are using (you can get one linked against vs7.1 here -> http://severna.homeip.net/gtk-win32.php )

or

3. Use another compiler, like MinGW.
