I compiled stock circle 3 patch 15 with VC6.0 'out of the box'. Runs fine.
I even ported DreamScapes just to see if I could, it was OK. Here is what I
did for stock :
unzip the circle30bpl15 archive to c:/
change directory with explorer to
c:/circle30bpl15/src
rename (right click, select rename) the 'conf.h.win' file 'conf.h'
start MSVC 6.0
select 'file:new'
select the 'workspaces' tab
make sure Blank Workspace is highlighted
type in 'circle' where it says 'workspace name'
type in 'c:/circle30bpl15' where it says 'location'
click OK
select 'file:new' again
select the projects' tab
highlight 'Win 32 Console Application'
type in 'circle' where it says 'project name'
type in 'c:/circle30bpl15' where it says 'location'
make sure 'add to current workspace' is checked
click OK
make sure an empty project' is checked
click Finish
click OK
in the pane on the left of your screen (where it list the files, workspaces
etc) right click on 'circle files' and select 'settings'
select the 'link' tab
in 'object/library' modules go to the end of the line and type in
'wsock32.lib'
for now click OK, play with the setting later ;)
right click on 'circle files' and select 'add files to project'
open up the 'src' directory (double click)
select all the files therein (ctrl-a)
click OK
HIT F7 :)
To run I simple click on the ! icon.
the only compile time warning I get with stock are:
C:\circle30bpl15\src\act.movement.c(334) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion
from 'long ' to 'short ', possible loss of data
C:\circle30bpl15\src\act.movement.c(336) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion
from 'long ' to 'short ', possible loss of data
C:\circle30bpl15\src\act.movement.c(341) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion
from 'long ' to 'short ', possible loss of data
C:\circle30bpl15\src\act.movement.c(343) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion
from 'long ' to 'short ', possible loss of data
C:\circle30bpl15\src\act.movement.c(347) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion
from 'long ' to 'short ', possible loss of data
C:\circle30bpl15\src\act.movement.c(349) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion
from 'long ' to 'short ', possible loss of data
I am sure there are batch files out there to emulate autorun. I still run
under Linux for now so have not looked into this much. But it's nice to
code with VC6.0, compile, then compile with linux and run for real. It's
all good fun, and that's what it's all about!
Enjoy, hope this helps,
Andy
