I have it all but one thing (I think)

Losingteam · Post by **Losingteam** » Wed May 21, 2003 9:24 pm

OK I think I am the stupidest person ever, even though I feel I know an exceptional ammount about a computer. I have attempted my best at trying to guess what to do so far, and been quite unsuccessful in deciphering these other posts too well.

Up til now I have downloaded:
*Visual C++ 6.0
*TortoiseCVS
*ActivePerl-5.8.0.806-MSWin32-x86.msi
*Detours 1.5

Also I tried to get MacroQuest.ini using the link http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/view ... text/plain . I got this link off of the page http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/view ... h_tag=HEAD .

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but that last thing, the MacroQuest.ini, I am having trouble getting. I don't know if I am looking in the wrong place, or going about the wrong means.

Any help or clarification, or just point me in the right direction to look on these pages would be a HUGE thanks from me.

Umm, you don't need Active-Perl anymore. That's just an option now. The Readme file is a little out of date.

Ok, but still, where am I screwing up? I cant seem to find WHERE to actually get the MacroQuest.ini to dowload. I think I understand the concept of how I need to compile the MacroQuest.ini file in Visual C++ 6.0. Also if I understand correctly I need something called EQLib.dll. I read that I build this EQLib.dll (which I also dont know where to get) then I can open the MacroQuest.ini file and then I can compile it an result with MacroQuest.exe.

1. cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/macroquest login
2. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/macroquest co macroquest
3. cd macroquest\eqlib
4. nmake
5. cd ..
6. nmake
7. cd Release
8. macroquest.exe
9. earn ph47 l00ts.

KK going to give what you just said a shot. As I side note, I just saw that little itty bitty link call Latest Offsets, so I downloaded that too. But I will try the above posted way first. Wish me luck. :))

please use search next time, but since im such a nice guy ill post the link for you...

In C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\: cvs95 -q -Q co -c
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/macroquest login

cvs95 checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password

cvs95 [checkout aborted]: authorization failed: server cvs.sourceforge.net rejected access to /cvsroot/macroquest login for user anonymous

Error, CVS operation failed

Tortoise Tip: Sometimes you get this error if you have the repository directory
wrong in the Checkout dialog. Make sure you have a slash at the start of the
directory, and that the case and path are correct. Watch out for spurious trailing
characters.

Examples are: "/cvsroot", "/usr/local/cvs-repository", "/cvsroot/cvsgui"

The above is what I got when I used Tortoise to try to get the file. Any help? I must have done something wrong

Going to try WinCVS since that is what EQMule is using.

Losingteam · Post by **Losingteam** » Wed May 21, 2003 10:24 pm

Woot got the files needed. Now this idiot (ME) has to figure out what to do with them and my Visual C++ 6.0. LOL going to browse over the other posts now. Thanks for getting me this far you guys.

Losingteam · Post by **Losingteam** » Wed May 21, 2003 11:26 pm

Alright. steps 3 through8 are making no sense to me. I have read EVERYWHERE on these forums and no one seems to explain it in simple enough terms for my idiocy. Is there anywhere I might have missed and idiots guide to the whole detours and compile stage?

dont_know_at_all · Post by **dont_know_at_all** » Wed May 21, 2003 11:40 pm

start->run->cmd.exe (command.com if you are win98)

in the command window type:
cd <where you installed the files>\marcroquest\eqlib
etc

Alright. I am being way too newbish tonight. I realize that many people don't want to give out how to compile and such, and I agree with the position you guys are taking.

Anyways. I was able to do step three. Right now I am sitting in MS-Dos Promt typing nmake over and over and over.

C:\Program Files\MacroQ\macroquest\EQLib>
C:\Program Files\MacroQ\macroquest\EQLib>nmake
Bad command or file name

C:\Program Files\MacroQ\macroquest\EQLib>nmake.exe
Bad command or file name

C:\Program Files\MacroQ\macroquest\EQLib>nmake.exe
Bad command or file name

C:\Program Files\MacroQ\macroquest\EQLib>nmake
Bad command or file name

C:\Program Files\MacroQ\macroquest\EQLib>

This is what resulted. I have Visual C++ 6.0 like I said before. Does the above resulting message mean I am missing nmake?? If so I will look for it on the internet and go back to trying to figure it out. Thanks ( I realize I am a pain in the @$$ with my questions and problems)

vcvars32.bat needs to be run to set the environment for the compiler. it should be where the compiler was installed.

Losingteam · Post by **Losingteam** » Thu May 22, 2003 12:23 am

KK Just ran that but got:

Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual C++ tools.
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Out of environment space

I remember reading somewhere about running out of space. Will let you know if nmake works once Iget this problem fixed and run the aformentioned file.

Yay, another bump in the road. 5 and a half hours after I started I am getting closer, yet farther away from my ultimate goal. Finally got the VCVARS32 prompt to not run out of memory, and I did a check to find that I do indeed have NMAKE.EXE. Yet still placing nmake or nmake.exe in the command line like I did a few posts ago results in the same thing. Thats why I said I am making progress, while still not moving forward at all. LOL.
