Moving to VC++ 2010 soon

[softcoder]

I have updated the build system to support VC++ 2010 (and a new windows dependency archive exists on sf for that).

I have not tested it yet but I added a new build batch file for VC++ 2010 in mk\windoze called:

build-mg-2010.bat

This should download 7z and the new windows_deps.7z (and extract it) then build using vc++ 2010.

Thanks

I remember having to build GAE in 2008. So annoying. Too bad they won't set this up. Almost makes me want to move to MG.

Not to get more offtopic, but GAE builds fine in 2010, just make sure you choose it in Cmake.

Also somewhat offtopic, but less so, why do we persist to mock Window users with using "windoze" in paths? Hardly seems any more reasonable than calling all linux stuff "penguin_os".

Please update svn and retry running the batch file. If you get errors post them somewhere so we can help you.

FYI, both VC++ 2008 and VC++ 2010 build batch files will:

1. Download 7z.* if they don't exist
2. Download wget.exe if it does't exist
3. Download the Windows Dependencies from SourceForge if they don't exist
4. Extract the Windows Dependencies if the folder does not already exist
5. Update the code to the latest from SVN
6. Build the projects
This should make things very simple for anyone to build megaglest. Just checkout the project from source forge, then open a command prompt and change to the folder mk\windows and run:

build-mg.bat (for VC++ 2008) or
build-mg-2010.bat (for VC++ 2010)

Thanks

I myself run windows, and tbh, i find it a tad amusing. Properly only enough to raise a eyebrow.

I'm stuck for vc++2008 (  tomreyn and others: thx for helping);
Few times I repeated  procedure from zero without success.

Tom suggested that should I try new vc++2010 and..... success

[big]building project using VC++ 2010 confirmed
[/big]
my machine spec:
OS:               Microsoft Windows 7  64bit Home      6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Kompilacja 7601
Procesor      Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B940 @ 2.00GHz, 2000 MHz; 3 GB  RAM

total time starting from zero: ~3 hrs (incl. download and install sliksvn, vc++, svn download & update, compiling)

batch file for vc++2010 works fine

THX dev team for hard work

Glad you could make it at last, and I'm sorry we couldn't get it to work on VC++ 2008. Anyways, I guess this topic has its title for a reason. ;-)

All builds should be working again. The VC++ 2008 build needs users to redownload the win32_deps.7z which is done autmatcially if you delete the win32_deps folder and win32_deps.7z file when running build-mg.bat
