[c++] help compiling large project - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Although I've written my share of c++ programs, I've never tried to compile someone elses project, and I'm having trouble with just that. The original author said that he used vs.net 2003 and intel compiler. I don't have access to either of these though so I'm looking for someone who does. The project is a nintendo emulator. The source code can be found here http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=83320 (latest version of course)

If anybody can get this to compile, I have a favor to ask. I'd like to simply remove two lines of code and then compile it. Big thanks to anyone that takes the time to see if they can compile it.

You could try and compile with a free Visual Studio .NET 2005 Express Beta:

Don't know if this will solve your problem or not. What compiler have you tried using, if any? What was the problem?

I've had a quick look at the SRC zip, and there is a .sln file in there. After you install VS .NET you should be able to just double click on this file and then Build.

I can't confirm this right now, as I don't have VS installed on this machine.

well i got ahold of vs.net 2003 and intel compiler 9.0. I first just tried compiling it with vs.net 2003 and it came up with a ton of errors. I figured this had to do with any commands that might be intel compiler specific.

Next I tried installing intel compiler 9.0. When installing it, there was an option to integrate it with vs.net 2003 so I did that thinking that must be what the original author did. I went back into vs.net 2003 and tried to build it again, but I got the same errors. It seemed like it didn't even try to use the intel compiler. I should note that there is a command line option that says "use intel compiler" on the projects.

Next I was gonna try just using intel compiler, but there isn't a gui or anything for it, and I didn't have time to look into how to do it.

So...any ideas based off this? I'll try some more stuff with it this weekend. One theory I've got is that I need to tell it to include some built in library or something that's in vs.net 2003. One of the errors was undefined function 'intrinsic' that came up from lines like "#pragma intrinsic(something);". Thanks for the help so far.

here is the build log
