compiling almost done - problem with global.hpp

[ichbinsehselber]

I am trying to compile wesnoth on visual studio 8 for the first time. I use the instructions made by wintifax. In some cases I use more current versions of tools.

I have been able to fix most problems. There are some left now (apart from warnings of deprecated functions):

1.) 17 times the following error: ...\widget.cpp(14) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'global.hpp': No such file or directory

I have checked that the file exists and that it is mentioned in the right directory in the project file. I have also looked into the file itself and did not find any problem.

Do you have any idea, what causes this error?

2.) parser.cpp
...\src\serialization\parser.cpp(16) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'serialization/parser.hpp': No such file or directory

3.) playlevel.cpp
c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '.\src\playlevel.cpp': No such file or directory

3.) playlevel.cpp is solved. It seems that this file has been removed in one of the latest release versions

[ichbinsehselber]

it is very strange that the include global.hpp does not cause an error in some of the files

If you haven't done so already:

Add the main wesnoth source directory to the search path for non-system project include files. A number of the files in various subdirectories (particularly widgets and serialization) won't compile without this, and they fail by not finding various include files.

thanks you, zaimoni!
now I have the same problem as Saragar describes in a different thread (http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 6227148cd5)
I'll try and see, if the instructions there help me.

after putting the libfreetype.lib as provided by Xan into the path, more linking errors appear:

[zaimoni]

You also don't need both loadscreen_empty.obj and loadscreen.obj. [This also gave me trouble when configuring my Python makefile leech script.] For the main client, you want loadscreen.obj [remove loadscreen_empty.cpp from the project].

No idea about the libcd.lib error.
