HOW-TO: Build XBMC for Win32 in VC++ Express Edition

my4keys82 · 2008-06-19 19:56

The project still has XBTimeZone.cpp in which has been deleted.

Also I'm having linker errors with __security_error_handler() from msvcrt71 dll and I have to comment this export out to build??

This has only crept in very recently (the last day or two).

I see you've just fixed this Charly Smile

That was very fast, thank you.

The only other query I have is that I get a first chance exception on powering down, could just be my environment. Any one else get that?

Curious that I didn't got the error with XBTimeZone.cpp. However the _security thingy is my fault Wink

I also noticed an exception when the python class is freed but didn't look deeper yet.

There's a bunch of stuff not being cleared on shutdown. I have some fixes in my tree that need review before commit is all (plus a bunch of other stuff I have to do first Smile

Cheers,
Jonathan

Got it compiled with no errors btw. I do get a load of error messages on xbmc startup an navigating to plugins though but if I choose to ignore it does go on without issues. I'll just wait till the fixes are in, probably that will smoothen things up.

Hi. I reasently installed VC2008 Express to see if i could compile xbmc in that instead with VC2003 like i have allways done.

My problen is that i get GetSystemTimes() missing. I did some digging and it looks like i have to install Windows SDK ? 1,3 GB just for one function sounds a bit steep.
And its only used for the new "simple cpu usage measurement."

Is there a smaller download or can i just remove that support ?

Strange.. Now it compiled ?!?
Oh well everything is good Tongue

svn update, it was fixed ~1,5 hour ago Wink

OK noob question time.

I've followed the Wiki exactly for VC++ 2008 Express but I don't know how to the last part. Frown

'Now you should be able to build the project.'

How?
