Build errors

Think you have to click the Advanced checkbox, for some odd reason.

Still no DX-related entries after clicking the Advanced checkbox. Are you using old Cmake-generated files? Because I have an old one just for compiling stock GZDoom, that continues to show the DX* entries even after I pull the latest changes. I imagine if I do a "delete cache" it'll be gone though...

But for fresh, new checkouts - the DX entries are completely missing.

Partial solved... you can manually "Add Entry" and key in the DirectX-related stuff. Quite annoying but eh whatever.

DX_dxguid_LIBRARY only seems to be shown if you're building with Windows XP support enabled (when CMAKE is set to use VS2015 x64 as the compiler, at least; haven't tested VS2015 x86 or any other VS versions). It should probably be shown no matter what for VS2015.

The DX entries will not be shown if you build for the post-XP toolset. In that case they are not needed, because all headers can be found automatically.

It appears all the headers were, but dxguid.lib wasn't. I installed the redistributable listed on the "Compile ZDoom on Windows" wiki page.

Hm. I think that library isn't even necessary with modern SDKs.

But the problem is not simply that the DX entries are not shown; for some reason CMake outright cannot find the DX files on my computer. I have the Windows Kits 8.1 installed. I get unresolved symbols on the x64 builds, unless I manually add the entries myself.

Same here. This is a pretty difficult issue to crack and I just decided to restart my entire build from absolute scratch. Can this be resolved?

You mean with Windows 10 SDK?

Could you please do a quick check?

Will it work for you if you add the following after line 113 in src/CMakeLists.txt ?

Code: Select all

set( DX_dxguid_LIBRARY dxguid )

It works for me but I have lots of stuff installed and cannot test on clean setup.

That did it for me!

Pushed the fix in hopes of avoiding more complains. Someone needs to check it with Visual Studio 2017 though.

This question finally makes sense (sorry _mental_ for not quite getting it back there) - I don't think I have it installed. It's something you were supposed to tick in a checkmark during installation of Visual Studio or Windows Kits, I presume? I don't think I ever fiddled with any of the install settings (this was like ~2 years back mind you). The ONLY checkbox I clearly remember ticking is C++ for Visual Studio.

But nothing about Windows XP since I don't care about the OS.

It is not a checkmark during installation.

The DirectX SDK was merged into the platform SDK back in the fall of 2010, which is why the last downloadable DirectX SDK is that June 2010 one. Only reason ZDoom needs the old version has something to do with XInput, where never versions apparently has some compatibility issues.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Fri Apr 14, 2017 9:28 am

The main reason is that the toolset with which ZDoom needs to be compiled with for XP compatibility does not contain everything that is needed - it does not use the latest Windows SDK but some older version.
