Building JUCE under XP using VC++6

Postby mctuble » Thu Apr 05, 2007 1:43 pm

Is there a tutorial anywhere that could walk me through this step by step including the exact link of the most recent platform sdk. I downloaded it last night from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

I know if i don't have the most recent I might get a lot of headaches. So after downloading that last night I try to build JUCE in VC++6 and I get 44 errors and 2 warnings. What I did was I loaded up the /build/win32/vc6/JUCE.dsw then I hit ctrl + f5. Following are the errors I get.

Any thanks would be greatly appreciated as I'm very eager to start using JUCE.

Have you got all VC6 patches applied? Looks like you've not got the mmx extension pack installed there..

To tell you the truth I didn't know there were VC6 patches. Can you find me a link to what I need so I'm sure I'm getting what I need. Thanks.

Sorry - no idea where you'd find that stuff, it's been years since I've had to use them..

I managed to find this page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718359.aspx and I'm downloading the one titled "Microsoft Service Pack 6 for Visual Studio 6.0." I hope that's the most recent and I hope I can build JUCE after.

I downloaded and installed the service pack 6. I still get 44 errors and 2 warnings but they're oh so slightly different. All i've noticed is the last error is different. So I'll post the error list this time around

Unless you *need* to use VC6, I'd recommend VCExpress instead, it's much more up-to-date.

Will Visual Studio .NET 2003 work better then VC6 or should I get something else?

I'll try to get my hands on Visual Studio 2005 since Visual Studio 2003 apparently is VS 7 and can't open the VS8 project files.

I'm very sorry for the big hassle. I was able to dl VC++ Express 2005. I installed it, installed the Platform SDK and then built JUCE with no problems. It built perfectly. Now to actually install JUCE so I can program with it. So in my c:\JUCE\bin\ I have a directory called intermediate_win32 which contains another directory named staticdebug which contains a slew of .sbr and .obj files then in just c:\JUCE\bin there is jucelib_static_Win32_debug.lib What do I need to move and to where? Then when I create a project do I need to change any project settings? Thanks for everything. You've been very helpful so far.

After a long road I've finally compiled JUCE, compiled and ran the demo projects and created my very own JUCE app. Thanks again for everything. This officially puts an end to this post.

Glad you got there in the end!

VC6 does work if you install all the right patches and SDKs, but VCExpress seems better to me anyway.
