Odd Compiling error

[GameArena]

Randy, perhaps you can assist me. I downloaded the 94src to play around with in my spare time, but when I try compiling it in VC 6.0++ I have some errors thrown at me (400+):

c:\doom\source\src\decorations.cpp(83) : error C2552: 'public: static struct TypeInfo ADecoration::_StaticType' : non-aggregates cannot be initialized with initializer list

Which seems to relate back to the _IMP_TYPEINFO MACRO, however the MACRO's are so greatly nested it is hard to find where the problem is occurring (I just tried today, so I haven't been trying for very long). Here is one of the lines on which the error occurs:

IMPLEMENT_ABSTRACT_ACTOR (ADecoration)


In addition I receive what appears to be a FindInventory template conflict. The error (C2275) occurs often and occurs on the lines in the form of:

type *name = FindInventory<type>();

I haven't had this problem in the past when compiling Zdoom (63 I believe). Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm sure given enough time I could locate the problem myself, but MACRO diving isn't my favorite sport

You can't compile the source with 6.0 anymore. There's a bug in the compiler that prevents it. I had to upgrade to .NET 2003 as well to get it to compile.

The specific problem is caused by the MetaData in the TypeInfo structure.

The second error is known as well. For some reason 6.0 doesn't like this perfectly valid construct.

Son of a... Maybe I can get a copy of .NET 2003 from one of my professors. Thanks anyway.

You can get the 2003 compiler for free at Microsoft's site. It doesn't come with an IDE, but you should be able to use the VC6 IDE with it.

Yes, that's possible. But the debugger won't work anymore.
