Windows MSVC vsnprintf error when compiling
« on: August 12, 2013, 03:39:23 am »

I've searched on how to fix this and was able to fix most of the errors, but I still get 8 errors.

This is happening because you're building in VC9, when the code is set up to build with VC6.  VC6 did not have vsnprintf(), so UQM wrote its own.  One of the later versions of VC added vsnprintf, but it doesn't work quite the way the C language standard says it should work.  However it does create a name clash with the custom vsnprintf in UQM.  The solution is to rename UQM's vsnprintf to something unique.

I have a patch that upgrades the current SVN tip to build in VC10; I've extracted the parts that deal with the vsnprintf problem.  It may not apply cleanly to the 0.7.0 release code, but it should give you a starting point.

  Good luck!

If after Elestan's suggestion you still have problems, take a look at Oldlaptop's UQM Crossbuilder. It's a image that you can put on CD or boot in VirtualBox and compile UQM on Linux for WIndows. Details on usage.
