[NEED HELP] SDK Compiling Error

[Grave]

I've got all the C++ files ready to be compiled, and am running into a problem. I followed Kael's directions to a tee in his tutorial, but when I go to build the DLL file I get the following error:

Any idea what this means?

Yeah but the problem is these are the default (stock) C++ files... I didn't even mess with them.

I was trying an exercise in compiling... and tried to compile all the default C++ files that came with Warlords (located in Warlords/CvGameCoreDLL directory).

I wanted to see if I could compile the default C++ files before attempting to add my modified C++ files.

is this the vanilla or the warlords sdk?

That's weird. This is what lines 34 to 40 of CvInfos.h should look like:

//---------------------------------------PUBLIC INTERFACE---------------------------------
public:

	//constructor
	DllExport CvInfoBase();
	//destructor
	DllExport virtual ~CvInfoBase();

How does that compare to what you've got?

How does that compare to what you've got?

This is my CvInfos.h, lines 34-41:

//---------------------------------------
---------------------------------
public:

	//constructor
	DllExport CvInfoBase();
	//destructor
	DllExport virtual ~CvInfoBase();

That's your problem, right there. Take out that line break (you can add in the PUBLIC INTERFACE if you want, but because the // represents a line comment and the second half of that ------ is not on the same line as the comment markers, it's not commented out and is being treated as though it were code. Needless to say, a series of -'s is not valid C++ code.

 

[PeteT]

It's that second dashed line. It's not falling within the scope of the comment delimiter "//" and so is causing syntax errors. You could just remove it.

edit: Sometimes you gotta be really fast around here.

muahahaha

Cool, thanks guys... I'll try it out.

You'd think the SDK files from Firaxis/2K that were installed straight from the Warlords CD would be error free!

 

[Grave]

They probably were. I guess that you accidently pressed [ENTER].

Seriously, I didn't mess with them. They were still Read-Only when I first opened them to see what was wrong.
