A little clarification/help please

Okay,

I've been all thru these boards searching for instructions on how to get MQ up and running and I've tried several search criteria without much luck. The best I've been able to come up with is this.

I've gotta compile MQ under VS6 or C++ 7.

Before i do that, i have to have detours.lib and i gotta have perl56.dll and i gotta have dinput.h but nothing anywhere tells me where these files have to be located(i'm assuming in my PATH somewhere)

I get hints that i'm suppose to compile Detours to get detours.lib but i've done no such thing and still have detours.lib???

I get hints that I'm suppose to install perl, and not the latest one, to get perl56.dll but that file is included in the MQ source i downloaded already???

I also get hints that MAYBE, i'm suppose to actually install the directx 9 SDK???

I've downloaded and installed VS6 Enterprise.

I've downloaded the latest Detours

I've downloaded the latest DirectX 9 SDK

I've extracted the dinput.h from the directx 9 SDK distribution file.

I've extracted the detours.lib from the Detours distrobution file.

From here, i'm gathering i simply need to compile the source ensureing the files are in my PATH somewhere. Is this correct??

If your uncomfortable with posting detailed instructions on what more i need to do, or what i've done wrong, feel free to PM.

Thank you
Xec

p.s. I'm trying to do this with has little help has possible but, help is definitely needed here.

I've figured out now that i have to have detours.h and detours.lib put in the detours directory of the MQ source before compiling....

I've figured out that perl56.lib has to be put in the perl directory of the mQ source....

still trying to figure out what to do with dinput.h, i found this

4. cd macroquest\eqlib
5. if using VC60, modify the makefile line 1 to point to the 8.1 dinput.h

but this confuses me, i have the 9.0 dinput.h. i'm thinking it'll still work so i went into that directory, eqlib, and cannot locate the makefile to make the appropriate changes to point to where dinput.h is located....

discovered that i need detours.pdb, i'm assuming this gets placed in the same directory has the lib file...

still searching the forums for more instructions, but feel free to post them here while i search.... :)

Thank you

HA HA HA before the others attack and devastate you with FLAMES I'm going to save you by saying yes there is clear instructions on everything! Unfortunatly some minor portions where ommitted to force you into discovering on your own but the information is out there! Try following all My posts and you will haev all you need to know

And dont ever ask for Generalized help again or they will slit your throat!

eqlib.exe - 2 error(s), 62 warning(s)

I followed these instructions verbatim

1. Compile the detours source and move lib and pdb file into appropriate directory
2. Create a blank win32 application project pointing at the MQ directory.
3. Add a win32 dll project to the project in step 2. Call it eqlib
4. Add all the sources in the eqlib directory to the eqlib project.
5. Add the CINTERFACE definition to the Preprocess definitions.
6. Add the DX8.1 include path to the Additional include directories.
7. Add ws2_32.lib to the Object/library modules.
8. Add ..\Detours\lib (where you put the objects from 1.) to Additional library path
9. Press F7 and cross your fingers.

At step 2, you didn't specify what to name the project so i named it mq.

After step nine, i get the errors, i've quoted above.

point of note, I am using DX9 and pointed the additional include directories to the entire include directory for DX9. Was that right?

I named mine 'macroquest' but that sould not be an issue I think. I don't recall seeing that set of warnings while figuring out how to get everything working, but if you go through the thread you pulled those instrucions from, there are a lot more information and clarifications. I think it was about page 5 or 6 where I got the info that finally made everything clear. I'm at work, so I don't have access to my mq built stuff, but if you go through that tread and read all the posts, you should be able to get a clean compile with a little effort. It looks like you are missing a configuration setting (or more likely put some linking info in the wrong tab or space in the project settings window, the ui for that thing is rediculous).

Looks like your not finding your DX libs for your build.

Double check you dxsdk path.

dont_know_at_all · Post by **dont_know_at_all** » Wed Apr 23, 2003 4:22 pm

You failed step 3. You made it a win32 application and not a win32 dll.

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Wed Apr 23, 2003 7:56 pm

Also, you can't use detours.h and detours.lib directly from the detours distribution. You need to actually delete those files, and recompile detours from the source.

To do that, with VC6, get a command line (C prompt). Change to the detours SRC directory, for example C:\detours\src. At the command prompt in that directory type "nmake" (without the quotes). This will create a new detours.h and detours.lib. Those are the files you need.

Clawed · Post by **Clawed** » Wed Apr 23, 2003 11:30 pm

I believe I am using the detours.lib directly from the distribution. No problems. I never compiled it or perl56. Nor did I have to get any new DX header files. (VS.Net) /shrug but my computer often works in mysterious ways...

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Thu Apr 24, 2003 9:06 am

Yeah, mine to. I had to compile detours for it to work, but I have a very weird hardware/software setup, no telling what that causes.

zedisdeadbaby · Post by **zedisdeadbaby** » Thu Apr 24, 2003 11:16 am

I didn't have to get any directX SDK either (VS.NET too). I also used the detours.lib from Microsoft and did not have to compile my own.
