I cannot compile bgk's linking build on Windows 7. Here is the full output of attempting to build in VS2010:

What do I do?

move the source code into a path without spaces.

 

fixed

pull svn 1170 or download the latest tarball

========== Rebuild All: 4 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

 

I got the GNU tarball of svn 1170, and I even put it in a directory with no spaces. It still won't compile. I am a total noob when it comes to C++. What now?

 

EDIT: The problem appears to be that I am broke. Searching the internet, it appears that afxwin.h is something that only comes with the paid-up version of VS2010, and I'm using the express edition. Apparently, I'm screwed.

 

FURTHER EDIT: It would seem the afxwin.h is far from the only necessary file the VS2010 EE fails to include. I am definitely screwed; I cannot compile VBA-M on my system because I am too broke to pay for VS2010.

AFXWIN is part of MFC which is not available on Express version

You can try to find and installs Platform/Windows SDK (which i heard also includes MFC) from MS site or somewhere else (ie. open source project or something)

Or you can try using afxwin.h (and other missing files) from here http://www.cppdoc.com/example/mfc/classdoc/MFC/

I finally caved and downloaded the trial version of VS 2010 Pro, installed SP1, and VBA-M still failed to compile, with this as the output:

I am just about at the end of my rope here. HELP!

set no_oal as a preprocessor

 

\doc\DevInfo.txt tells you what you need.

It finally built successfully! I used Backyard Baseball to test the linking feature, and it worked successfully (though it would seem my laptop's i7 720 QM processor is too weak to run both instances of VBA-M at full speed when linked—they both slowed down to 60%). Thank you for your help, Squall and Adamn.

shouldn't be, a single core sempron-le can run 2 instances just fine.

 

though, i remember bgk mentioning it needs optimising.
