Building UFO:AI in Win XP

[noob]

so was bug fixed in visual c++ with gettext?

[Mattn]

i don't think that someone of the active developers own visual studio - if you do please give it a shot and fix it

thanks

best regards

sry guys had some private problems
am kicking in again, finally have some spare time.
i own the "full" studio 2005 and will try to get gettext running
expect sth at the weekend

[Mattn]

thank you BeBu

okay results from today:

i compiled libiconv and gnu gettext with vs 2005, as it is not compatible with older linked versions, and linked against those. Also i had to modify the project settings a bit
result is :



but no reason to celebrate yet. the language is only correct on first start, or when deleting the s_language entry in config.cfg (btw it detects German_Germany.1252, shouldnt that be de_DE?) for the next run.
AND! it crashes when entering tactical mode, so not playable.
i grabbed latest trunk from svn (5958), perhaps that two  bugs are known.
I am to tired to investigate firther now. if someone needs i can post modified sln and vcproj files as well as the two modified lib and dlls.

[Mattn]

yes, please submit a patch - thanks for your work

[BeBu]

i do later that day,

do you want a diff file for the sln file or just all new files.

also as i this libraries are linked against the new runtime i propose setting up extra dirs for these dlls and libs. They will need msvcr8, which ppl with old studio or free toolkit dont have. i simply create vc8 subfolders in the appropiate folders where the current ones lie

[Mattn]

no diff needed - just copy the changed files - that's ok

and yes, subfolder in src/ports/win32/vc8

[Mattn]

if you changed code itself - then of course a diff please

[BeBu]

btw
if you want me to build the windows release versions of the binaries to distribute next version gimme a shout

[BeBu]

here is my patch

didnt need to actually modify any sources, but changed folders and stuff in the projects file, so check em with an older studio version.

[Mattn]

thank you very much - applied to trunk
