Missing some files
« on: July 16, 2003, 08:55:16 am »
I just retrieved the source files from CVS, but I seem to be missing SDL.h and al.h.  They don't seem to be anywhere in the CVS structure.  Is there something obvious I'm missing, or can I retrieve these files elsewhere?

You seem to be missing the SDL and OpenAL header files. You can get SDL here or from most Linux distributions. OpenAL should not be necessary; UQM compiles fine without it for me. However, it can be downloaded here. Again, if you are using Linux, check your distribution.

Read INSTALL in sc2/ dir, it lists all required libs (+ download locations).

I'm attempting to compile this with MSVC++ 7.0, and I'm getting several linking errors having to do with the unresolved external symbols "_inflate", etc. in some of the zip functions.  Any thoughts?

You'll need zlib. See INSTALL.

I have zlib, that's the problem.  Before I installed zlib, I got errors complaining about its absence.  Now that it's installed, I'm getting linking errors.  I just can't win.

Hmm. If you're using the UrQuanMasters.dsp project file that is included with the source, it should link with zlib.lib.
I'm not a Windows user myself, but I know it worked for other people.
Maybe someone else has a useful hint.

Out of frustration, I did a clean build and it linked fine this time.  I don't really know why; I didn't change anything from the last build.

Thanks for putting up with my stupid questions; this looks great!

Linking error indicates it isn't finding your zlib.lib; either it's in wrong dir, you haven't added it to library search path from Tools/Options/Projects/VC++ Directories/Library Files, or it's wrong version. The one I use is from http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/zlib114dll.zip and works fine for VC7.
