Re: [Plib-users] PLIB generation of libs and headers with a build using visual studio 2010... GENERATION details for vs 2010 express

[LAURENCE S. <lr...@fl...>]

Paolo,I used the 2008 project files that you sent me. Idistributed them to the PLIB subdirectories and SOME of the 2008 targets wereconverted to 2010 targets immediately upon opening the sln file. Many Thanks! Iinvestigated the conversion error report. In pui.vcxproject, I discovered thatthere were XML entries name files that no longer exit in the plib.tar.. Iedited the vcxproject and removed the file name elements re-ran build and puiproduced a lib! I don’t know if flightgear needs all targets named in thesolution file. So far I can generate : SL PUI PSL PLIB NET. Does flightgearneed FNT JS1 SG SSG SSGAUX UL? If yes, I’ll have to investigate why theconverter says that those vcproj’s are CORRUPTED… <Configuration                                    Name="Debug|x64"                                    OutputDirectory="$(PlatformName)\$(ConfigurationName)"                                    IntermediateDirectory="$(PlatformName)\$(ConfigurationName)"                                    ConfigurationType="4"                                    InheritedPropertySheets="$(VCInstallDir)VCProjectDefaults\UpgradeFromVC60.vsprops"                                    UseOfMFC="0"                                    ATLMinimizesCRunTimeLibraryUsage="false"                                    CharacterSet="2"                                    >                                    <Tool                                                Name="VCPreBuildEventTool"                                    />           PERHAPS there is something missing in the specification ofthe Tool VCPreBuildEvent? The report indicates a XMLparse failure at the “end tag”associated with the “Tool” element. Incidentally, the NET target in the vs2010 solution seems toexist only to copy “PLIBS” inc’s and “net.lib” a.k.a. “plib” to ainstall/output directory. I’m not sure when/if net.lib is renamed. It has thesocket stuff and I assumed that I needed “plib/net.lib” to resolve symbols whenbuilding flightgear. How many library’s built from that plib tar ball that Ineed is unknown to me. I guess I’ll find out when I what else needs to belinked. Thank you again. Your plan worked! Ciao,Laurence

 Laurence,

please find below links to project files for VS2008 (VC9) and, only for some of the Plib libraries, for VS2013 - but I actually skipped 2010. Yet maybe your VS2010 can easily upgrade VS2008's for you automatically.

Oggetto: [Plib-users] PLIB generation of libs and headers with a build using visual studio 2010... GENERATION details for vs 2010 express

I've posted several places to several forums. Apparently not much detail or interest has been found for answering windows build questions or tools available, mostly contempt. I'm hoping that this forum will be different.

I’m trying to build flightgear by following his link:
http://wiki.flightgear.org/Builzding_using_CMake_-_Windows<http://wiki.flightgear.org/Building_using_CMake_-_Windows>
This indicates that  Visual Studio C++ express 2010 ,(with it's project property files )can be used to build the system and provides links to the required 3rd Party artifacts.  However, PLIB isn’t in this artifact archive. I searched on the Web and found “a/the”PLIB site which wasn't your site.Some personal dudes?. Downloaded that PLIB, unpacked it and looked in the readme. A brief offering of a contemptuous view of “windoze” was followed by an old  Microsoft version 6 project(doesn't have project property files) and workspace files. Does either a PLIB artifact version made by VS2010 ( that provides the libraries and includes) exist conveniently obtainable by download OR a visual studio 2010 project file for making/CMAKING PLIB. . Thanks for the answer.
There is lots of malware wrapped tools out there as I have discovered searching for the vs 2010 express. I’d rather not try to find an even older  Microsoft C++ version 6 compiler.
