Ok, I have Windows 7 Ultimate(64bit) I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional(Full Registered). I downloaded the source code from the CVS and followed the directions on the site about removing NDEBUG and setting the properties. When attempting to compile under C++. The following is the output of this attempt.

Looking for a fix for the “Could not find Visual Studio install directory”. I’ve checked the registry and have the following entries

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Visual Studio -> SxS -> VS7 -> "10.0 REG_SZ C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Visual Studio -> SxS -> VC7 -> "Shows only frameworkDir32 and frameworkDir64 with Version 4.0.30319

Any ideas or assistance would be greately appreciated, thanks

Right now Visual Studio refers to Visual Studio 2008. You’ll have to hack in makepanda.py/makepandacore.py to add in the search paths for Visual Studio 2010. But the biggest problem is that a lot of third party libraries are built with VS2008 and oyu’ll have to recompile them in VS2010 first.

Ok, where can I get the Source files for the thirdparty stuff?

As far as I know you’ll have to go their respective homepages and rebuild them one by one.

It’s easiest to just grab VC++ 2008 and build using that.

I have started the tedious task of downloading the source code for the thirdparty libraries and man there are a lot of them. I’m doing this primarily because i’m not too keen on ‘dumbing’ down my VS2010 or my other system files and going backwards to compile and run a program and besides it has to be done at some point. Any advice on where to get these files, for example JOD. Possibly which files to download and which ones aren’t needed. Possibly if someone has these files already then I would love to get ahold of them thanks

For the record, my coworker reports that he has successfully compiled using VS 2010 without changing any of the thirdparty libraries, and the resulting Panda build runs successfully.

I’m not 100% sure I believe this, but that’s the report. In fact, it’s only the C++ thirdparty libraries that are potential problems (the C++ ABI changes with each compiler but the C ABI doesn’t change), and there aren’t that many of those, so maybe it’s true.

So, you might do OK just to edit makepandacore.py and put in the appropriate registry keys. Or simply set the environment variable VCINSTALLDIR to the full path of your MSVC installation directory (makepanda will consult this variable if it can’t find MSVC in the registry).

Ok, so i’ve made some headway small hack and now we know where the VS2010 install dir is . getting the following

libp3dtool.dll.manifest ??? any ideas whats missing

Ok so for those of you wanting to compile on Visual Studio 2010 and i’m using Windows 7 (64 bit). Not sure which one caused the problem either it is a security issue or it was WinSDK 7.1. I fixed the Security issues and permissions and used WinSDK 7.0 and got a little further here is the output

Build still failed but I believe it to be a Security / permission issue

[Edit]
Please note the error with qedit.h is a compatibility issue with the Windows SDK. this file is not included in the new releases of the SDK. I downloaded the file separately and it compliled perfectly until I got to 35%. not sure if this has anything to do with the next error or not.

Ok as you’ll be able to see I made it to 35% but then I get hit with the error bomb. Any direction at this point would be helpful. is it possible that this is a compatibility issue?

Try makepanda without directcam and vision first. Those are generally problematic with newer DirectX and Win Sdks.

try

makepanda --everything --no-vision --no-directcam

You can also try threaded build to reduce your build times

makepanda --everything -no-vision -no-directcam --threads=4

Zhao

Yeah, I tried those switches twice and each time it shut my computer down completely.

makepanda --everything --no-vision --no-directcam

Caused your computer to shutdown?

I can see how --threads could cause your computer to shutdown if you don’t have enough memory/resources, but it is extremely suprising that --no-vision --no-directcam would cause your computer to crash.

It’s the threads part that does it about 30% mark. I removed the threads part and and I made it to 49% before it started complaining about ddraw.lib not being there… I know that song. no longer supported in DX SDK after 9.0. ok so definately some compatibility issues

[Edit]
Current progress for compiling with VS2010 is 100%

Hope those warnings aren’t going to hurt anything

Ah, congrats on getting it built! If you have time, can you write a more detailed list of what changes you made? e.g, when you refer to ‘removing NDEBUG and setting the properties’, what message post are you refering to?

Yeah, I will put a detailed list of changes as well. I’ve tried to run a test window within C++ to test it out but have a problems. Any ideas what i’m missing

The pdb are debug information. You might be having more permission problems?

kirupa.com/forum/showthread. … -practise..

I’m attempting this exact same operation, and I’m stuck on the ‘Cannot read built/bin/libp3dtool.dll.manifest’ issue.

Can you elaborate on your fix? Thanks!

I’m pretty much stuck on the same point “Cannot read built/bin/libp3dtool.dll.manifest”

I tried compiling it with ‘–nothing’ and ‘–everything’, as well as directly from the visual studio solution, doesn’t work.

Any leads?

I figured out as much as that NDEBUG is creating problems somehow and that I need to either enable or disable it. Some people did that successfully, but I don’t seem to find the correct place though

Would I do that in makepanda.py or do I have to do that somewhere in the project file?

Sorry for the nagging, but I’d be really happy to stay with VS2010 and not having to go back to VS2008
