Dear all,
I have tried to import the solution (MS Visual C++ .NET 2003) for the RakNet project and generally it works quite good. Anyway, there was issues that needed to be fixed to make CodeBlocks compiles the different projects.
First of all let me say that I have download the latest version of Codeblocks (patch). A first remark is that CodeBlocks still displays 1.0-RC1 and not 1.0-RC1-1. Is this normal?
Then I have set the Codeblocks to works with MS Visual C++ .NET 2003 compiler (free Toolkit) as default and set the necessary pathes. Anyway, where I have to set the bin pathes? In .NET there is an "Executables" folder where you can add bin pathes, but for CodeBlocks :?? Is may be the "resources" folder?
Finally, I have tried to compile to the different projects, one after the other. But here a first issue. The link directories and libraries were not imported correctly. For example, there was missing the extension ".lib", which made CodeBlocks search for a .obj file instead of a .lib. Fixed this problem, I could compile the projects. To be sure or quite that it was a problem (or a bad setting) of CodeBlocks, I have tried to compile each project with MS Visual C++ .NET 2003.
I have remarked the following:
(1) Some projects compile only under "release", but give a link error(s) under "debug". Strange :?.
(2) Some projects refuse to compile in both "debug" and "release" (e.g., DLL). Mostly due to link errors.
(3) Some projects compile just fine
.
Are the above mentioned problems related to the import functionality of CodeBlocks (not yet finished), or I missed something?
Any idea, comment, help is highly appreciated.
Anyway, let me congratulate for the good work you are doing and hope you will continue improving CodeBlocks in the future.
Best wishes,
Michael
