Problems compiling LE 3 C++ code using MS VS 2010

[neseir]

Hi

 

When compiling a new C++ project created from the Leadwerks 3.0 Editor I get a message that the leadwerks.h file tries to include dirent.win32.h which it cannot find. Searching for this file confirmes that I do not have it installed. Changing the entry #include "dirent.win32.h" on line 190 in the leadwerks.h header file to #include "extra\dirent.h" which I presume does the same works ok but is this the proper way to solve this or should I install/refer to other components that the LE 3 engine depends on ?

 

Regards

i dunno about correct or incorrect, but... i think that the the include directory settings should contain references for those folders...

This is the included folders :

I can't find any referance to the extra folder and only two headerfiles named win32.xxxxxxx.h (opengl and window). The dirent.h should be named win32.dirent.h if available as the leadwerks.h header files tries to include (if the extra folder was also added to the include path) or using the dirent.h name if the \Leadwerks\Engine\Source\extra should be used.

Older versions of the software required some manually copied files, but the current version will compile out-of-the-box with Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 Express.

Hi Josh

 

Tested now with a not modified leadwerks.h file (fresh update of Leadwerks). Using VS 2010 (Professional edition) I still get this :

I'm uploading a new build today. This appears to be missing. Here's the file.

dirent.win32.h

Perfect !

 

Added this to the "\Leadwerks\Engine\Source" folder and it compiled just fine. Thanks !
