Building/Compiling
fireundubh opened this issue · 2 comments
Please note that this is developed against MSVC 2015, so other compilers may not work, and earlier versions of MSVC almost certainly won't due to C++11 support.
That's what the readme says, but Caprica.vcxproj is configured for ToolsVersion="15.0"
and <PlatformToolset>v141</PlatformToolset>
.
The project also contains paths for boost_1_58_0
, but CMakeLists.txt
is looking for:
find_package(Boost 1.52.0 COMPONENTS filesystem program_options REQUIRED)
Just trying to open the project in VS2015 was a pain, but opening the project in VS2017 was a breeze. That said, I can't get Caprica to compile due to a wide assortment of errors. I was wondering if you could fix this project up so that it can be compiled, as well as some build instructions.
Looks like a number of changes were made recently to support VS2017.
Code Change
Line 65 in main.cpp:
if (filenameRef != "." && filenameRef != "..") {
Change to:
if (filenameRef.compare(".") != 0 && filenameRef.compare("..") != 0) {
Project Changes
- Add
_HAS_AUTO_PTR_ETC;
to preprocessor definitions. (Might need only the second one.) - Fix the include path to Boost.
- Build Boost. (Steps below.)
- Add
D:/dev/boost_1_58_0/stage/lib;
to the linker library directories.
Building and Configuring Boost
- Run VS2017 Developer Tools.
- Change the directory to where Boost was extracted (e.g.,
cd D:\dev\boost_1_58_0
). - Run
bootstrap
. - Run
b2 address-model=64
. - Run
b2 build-type=complete
.
The code for Caprica hasn't been touched in > 2.5 years at this point, and I'd strongly recommend using the official Papyrus compiler included in the Creation Kit rather than Caprica. Caprica was only ever designed to be a workaround when the Creation Kit hadn't yet released.
I would accept PRs if you want to get it back up and running, but I have no plans to do so myself.
