RE: [Nel] libXML, the bane of my project...

[Timothy H. Schilbach]

HI Andi,

 

  I will compile the new libxml 2.6.14 version today and see if that helps out. Thank you for clarifying which packages I can update. In most cases I find compiling doesn’t work because of a library version that is not up to date. I will also compile in VC 7.1 to see if that changes anything as well. Thank you again for your input. Just 2 more projects to get compiled before we can start adding our actual game code into NEL J

also note we used the very latest stable releases of libxml2 and freetype only STL PORT is the real problem and x now that the 2004 sdk is out and nel is not compatible

but the other things are generalyl ok.

 

also it may be possible to make stl port 4.6.2 work with VC6

 

but ive not tried it that is to change the 0&& that nlwarning etc points to in NL_RELEASE mode to __noop this is just a potentail fix it works in VC7.1 not tried in VC6

Subject: [Nel] libXML, the bane of my project...

 

HI Everyone,

 

  I have all my Nell libaries and almsot all the tool projects compiled. I am having a very big issue with the object viewer and the snowballs 2 project. They are both the same problem so if I can get this I am home free.

 

  I have noticed that NEL uses the libXML 2.4.26. Cool I was having some issue compiling the above mentioned eartlier when it was suggested to be to use the static library (libxml_a.lib) in the client project of snowballs 2.0. Well cool, I downloaded the project from the project site and went to work.

 

  I compiled all the options with libXML and created a static version of it as well. I then replaced my old libXML files (includes, libraries, dlls) with the newly compiled ones. Now when I compile snowballs 2 with the newly added libraries, I get the following with each library:

 

libxml2_a.lib:

 

MSVCRTD.lib(cinitexe.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "msvcrt.lib" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
nl3d_d.lib(i_xml.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlFree
Debug/snowballs.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

 

libxml2.lib:

 

MSVCRTD.lib(cinitexe.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "msvcrt.lib" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
nl3d_d.lib(i_xml.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlFree
Debug/snowballs.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

 

As you can see its the same either way. Now keep in mind I compiled them with all options available in that project. I can compile a newer version, but the newer version my not work with NEL (I found out the hard way that NEL needs the version it states to use and not anything newer. This is true with directX and stlLib).

 

Does anyone know why I would be getting this? My CVS is up to date and stiull not working on those 2 projects. Its wierd as the object viewer and the snowballs projects come with the exact same errors.

 

Any heklp is appreciate and thank you all in advance for your help thus far.

 

-Timothy
