Okay, I just finished moving the macros from common/dl_base.h to the proper files. Now I need to go through the entire codebase and correct all of the includes, making sure everything is where it needs to be.

This is a downside to making heavy use of the preprocessor: it can cause conflicts due to how compilers work.

1. The preprocessor runs,…

Oh, cool. Didn’t realize Skeptic was still around (sorry, haven’t had a chance to catch up on the SETI thread yet). Have fond memories of seeing their ‘zines on the newsstand years ago, back when they were still a thing here. Looks like a physical sub isn’t a whole lot: 36 USD annually. May be worth it 🙂

Parade Day itself might be a bit silly, for on that day one can parade without a theme, purpose or masthead behind the activity. Until they ban it of course, upon which there is now a purpose!

Ooh, lookie. MAD is going to be riffing on DC in a few days: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/mad-about-dc-1-preview-dc-universe-gets-a-comedic-wedgie/

May need to pick up that special!

Okay, community threads have been updated 🙂

Nothing too cheesy about Significant Other, a nicely scripted sci-fi flick with a few twists and turns too keep up the tension. Nice effects to embellish the low budget production, too.

Yep, changing the include order fixed it. Going to need to fix the rest of the places where it shows up. We’ll want to fix things up at some point to make sure that we don’t run into this problem again. We’ll want to move the string functions over to the proper file, for instance.

Yep, CMake is correctly setting things up properly:
Run mkdir builddir; cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -B builddir
mkdir builddir; cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -B builddir
shell: C:Program FilesPowerShell7pwsh.EXE -command ". '{0}'"

Just paranoia, are we absolutely sure MSVC compiler is detected?

if(MSVC)
message(STATUS “MSVC compiler detected. Adding specific flags.”)
# Blah target_compile_options(MyApp PRIVATE “/EHsc”) # Enable standard C++ exception handling
elseif(${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID} MATCHES “GNU”)

Fixed it! For some reason, MSVC wasn’t bringing in tchar.h from common/dl_base.h. I added #include <tchar.h> to common/dl_str.h and the error went away. Looking at the new error log, it looks like _WIN32 isn’t being brought in from MSVC for whatever reason even though it’s a compiler level macro. That should be easy enough to fix: I’ll just add it…[Read more]

It’s the default_int error mentioned above. It’s the very first error the compiler emits when it is “parsing” the entry point, although it’s only level 1, which can be turned off.
The second error is because windows.h is absent, #include <wchar.h> may resolve the issue. Hopefully. 🙂

Yeah, it’s missing the Run() function and uses the inherited one instead. I noticed it during the initial audit a year ago but I don’t think I put it on the tracker. Sorry about that. Pretty sure that would have given us a different error, though, but it’ll need one or the equivalent anyways for GTK support since it does thing in a standard C++…[Read more]

Looks like it isn’t seeing a main at all- gives this a shot: #include main_frm.h in stdafx.h and see how it goes.

The syntax error may or may not be there. Oftentimes, during an error, the compiler craps out and spits out bad data after the initial error so it’s very hard to debug things all at once. C++ is a lot more type safe than C and requires that you specify the return and parameter types everywhere 🙂

I was getting that error in common/dl_str.h for…[Read more]

Looks like it doesn’t like default_int either.
There’s a suggestion as per this post. There’s a syntax error followed by a bunch of other errors:

C2146: syntax error: missing ‘;’ before identifier ‘WCHAR’

Could be windows.h related as well – further investigations on-going.

Something’s broken with the TCHAR implementation: https://github.com/deathssoul/MWEdit/actions/runs/23533305041/job/68502145150

It started by complaining about the TCHAR typedef in common/dl_str.h not being a type so I added the winnt.h header to it since the typedef wasn’t being picked up from common/dl_base.h (probably being overridden…[Read more]

game/morrowind/sub_name_fix.h is currently set up to only be a typedef to CEsmSubName. That’ll need to be investigated to see if the disabled code needs to be used at all. If not, we can remove the file and remove the includes and symbols referencing it.

Yeah, we’ve been really dry too. Several of our creeks have completely dried up!

The critters certainly looks happy! 😀
