The Powder Toy

TRS

I followed the instructions on

https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Compiling_tpt%2B%2B_with_Visual_studio.html

, but I always get the same error(s):

1>c:\users\administrator\desktop\TPT++\src\simulation\Elements.h(57): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ElementClasses.h': No such file or directory
1> OptionsView.cpp

...and this for EVERY source file of TPT++.

I checked the path at the settings, moved some files, did everything again for a few times, tried another way, but no success.

Did anyone had the same errors? If yes, how did you solve them? Please comment, I would really appreciate that.

LG,

TRS

Are you using the premade project? (this one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43784416/PowderToy/vs%202013%20project.zip). I just updated it 4 days ago.

Anyway, you need to run generator.py. It's a bit annoying but there is no other way to create ElementClasses.h at the moment. To run it, you need to install either python 2 or python 3, then double click on generator.py

Hello,

Im also trying to build TPT++. But I get like 200+ the same error: timespec: struct type redefinition > pthread.h

Can anybody help me to fix this?

Are you also using visual studio? Which version?

Or are you using MinGW + scons? Or are you not even on windows?

I need more information ... like what platform and compiler you are using.

Sorry, I was looking trough the topics and I found the solution... But now im getting A linker error.

unresolved external symbol_imp__iob_func referenced in function_Showerror, I think its something with sdl

Im using visual studio 2015, on windows 7

Weird. I looked it up and found some possible things that could cause it.

I might try recompiling all the non-static libraries. I recompiled all the static ones so that everything would work properly without warnings, but the non static ones I left the same. Try doing a Static build though, that might fix it for now (although static builds take longer)

Edit: or try and do this somewhere: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30450042/unresolved-external-symbol-imp-iob-func-referenced-in-function-openssldie

Edit2: I compiled new import libraries for everything, i'll upload them tomorrow though. It might also fix your problem (and if it doesn't ... well at least it will fix a compiler warning :P)

Yes, I used the premade project, but I didn´t knew about the thing with generator.py, thanks.

Now i´ve tried it again with generator.py, and the errors from before are gone, but now it can´t open the include files ?

Error 1 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pthread.h': No such file or directory c:\users\administrator\desktop\TPT++\src\tasks\Task.h 5 1 The-Powder-Toy++

Error 204 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'lua5.2/lua.h': No such file or directory c:\users\administrator\desktop\TPT++\src\lua\LuaCompat.h 14 1 The-Powder-Toy++

... again, this for 272 times.

Seems like Visual Studio simply ignores the includes folder.

I´m using Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 x64.

Did you download the required libraries? The includes folder comes with it. Download https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43784416/PowderToy/Required%20Libraries.zip and extract everything to the correct place ...

*Facepalm*

Thanks, but now I found out where the error was... Why didn´t I notice that I extracted the libs into the source folder? Why did I do that?

Well, sorry for wasting your time... have an Oreo!
