Visual C++ 6.0

I would like to start a thread here where all VC6 issues are compiled and resolved rather than having them scattered. Can we please start with hopefully the FINAL post of instructions on compiling and please make them concise and to the point with specific referance examples. Plesae make them complete in every way from start to finish on account of I've drudged through every single thread on VC6 and still am incounterring issues. Thank you in advanced for helping out

Doesn't need a thread, needs a FAQ.

It really isn't that hard to do, i was able to figure it out last night. Took me a little bit, but if you want it that bad, it is worth the time.

[Edit]
Plus...if it is too easy to do, we'll have the same problem as before. Whining noobs who get banned for OOCing to the world that they have Innoruk targeted or something dumb like that. I say nobody should be helped to compile anything unless they are somewhat known on the forums or in IRC. Just my opinion tho, flame at your own will.

I am against the idea of a step by step, click this then click that how-to. The information and help is here for those that want to try. I try very hard not to flame the posts on this board from peeps that want someone to hold thier hand and guide them from start to finish.

It is easy to ask for help. But I think there is and should be a limit as to how much help we want to give. Franky, if you cant figure out how to build this project from what is posted on this board at this time, you are too stupid to be using MQ.

So... stop asking for a step by step guide.... if we do that then why not release the binarys?

I know what you mean...If we had to hold everyones hand to guide them through how to compile...why not just make compiled release versions...kinda defeats the purpose of keeping it source only

well the idea behind it was that I have no clue on Visual C I only run command line and Perl but it seems if I ever ask for any kind of guidance all I hear is "check the board noob" and there really is'nt anything on there! the steps are vague and most of the folks we would like issolated already gave up at "source" let alone buying a compiler and trying to code. all I really am asking for is clarification on what is already there..
I've seen this kind of behavior when I was trying to get into network security but the thing to keep in mind is the best were'nt born that way and everyone starts somewhere. This is my start, dont shut me out that will jsut result in me becoming one of those jerks who flame over everything later on when I'm well rounded... lets all take a lesson from the late Frank Grimes and not give a poor hardworking stiff like me a hard time after all I may be the next Mckorr or Lizard.

Well, besides asking for a total and complete how-to, you have not asked for help.

If you are having problems building this project, ask for help about those problems. What have you done, what errors have you run into?

I disagree. All the help one needs is here.

I read these posts everyday. Several times you have asked for someone to hold your hand and do it for you. No where did I see you ask for help other than "break it down to a step by step how-to".

What clarification do you need? Ask questions.... I will be glad to help.

I am not trying to give you a hard time... honest. But I am not gonna give you the precomiled binaries or a step by step complete how-to that any moron can follow.

Concise to the point of specifice referace example? Complete in every way from start to finish?

This is not gonna happen.

Why not just release the binaries?

See my last post. You must be this tall to ride -------------------->

Trust me Densetu, you DON'T want to be the next Mckorr. I'm probably the worst coder of the bunch.

What I am is persistent. I read every new thread, bookmark the important ones. I experiment with the compiler and the code, realizing I will make mistakes and knowing that my MQ will crash, and crash spectacularly. But I'm not afraid to make mistakes. When I do I post the error messages, form a theory as to what I am doing wrong, and ask for help or confirmation.

And I'm sorry, but everything you need to do to make this work under VC6 IS in here somewhere, multiple times. Including explanations of any unclear steps, many of them written by myself after I screwed up and then fixed things. You don't even have to use the search function, just look at the posts dating from, oh, the end of February or so. Skim through the topics and you'll quickly find what you are looking for.

ok my engish is not so good so maybe I've been expressing myself the wrong way. I wanted the step by step to figure out what I was donig wrong but lets just forget all about that. Here is my problem:

--------------------Configuration: eqlib - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
EQLib.cpp
c:\clean\cvs\macroquest\eqlib\eqlib.cpp(21) : fatal error C1189: #error : /DCINTERFACE
Error executing cl.exe.

eqlib.dll - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I encounter this error every time I try and compile regardless of what order I do things in. I have been doing everything by the book and my main focus was always the Eqlib.dll not the main project. Let me know what it could be an thanks for your patience.

P.S.- Please try and keep the attitudes in check I've not yet disrespected anyone and dont feel that I merit being abused in anyway. Cant we all just get allong?!?

You need to go into your project settings. Click on the C++ tab and add CINTERFACE to the preprocessor line. Then try again.

I dont understand the problem. I have been away from the scene for some time as I did not have access to VC++ untill very recently. Using the information on this very board and the Search Button, I was able to compile. Also to note, I am not a programmer, and have NEVER even seen what VC++ 6.0 looks like let alone used it. In other words I have never used VC++ 6.0 at all. I found it very easy, just use the search and you will get it to work. Also, theres lots of reading, read every post, once you are done reading them all, go back and read them again. just stop makeing all of the un needed posts, its posts like this that fill the search with non-information!!

Densetsu · Post by **Densetsu** » Tue Apr 22, 2003 2:12 pm

If you have nothing constructive to say please dont bother Re-iterating what is already posted or PM me your greivances thanks! and I already have placed ,_CINTERFACE on teh preprocessor line yet the error still occurs I even tryed placing it in the main project aswell.

DANG namit!!
I have been adding CINTERFACE to the end of the string when it goes at the start! Thanks to Jaerin and Mckorr for your constructive posts!

good work...

CINTERFACE, NOT _CINTERFACE

Your preprocessor line under C++ will look like:
NDEBUG,WIN32,_WINDOWS,_MBCS,_USRDLL,EQLIB_EXPORTS,CINTERFACE

Visual C++ 6.0
