README.conf for arcemu compiling!

[Kanng]

I'm going to show those of you that can't understand the README.conf how to get it working step-by-step.

Just like in my last guide read everything!

This is basically what the README.conf looks like once you open it up.
follow along closely so you don't get lost

ArcEmu Win32/64 Libraries Distribution
======================================

Installation Instructions:
Navigate to the directory of your chosen compiler (adjust pathes if necessary):

  VS 2003: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7
  VS 2005: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC
  VS 2008: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC

Copy the files in VC\include to VC\include.
Copy the files in VC\lib to VC\lib.

Next, you need to compile the zlib and PCRE libraries.
Depending on your compiler, open the solution under Sources:
  
  VS 2003: VC71-solution.sln
  VS 2005: VC80-solution.sln
  VS 2008: VC90-solution.sln

Depending on the architecture you want to build for, build the configuration:

  Release/Win32 if you are under Win32,
  Release/x64 if you are under Win64.

This should make a folder called Output_Release, or Output_x64_Release if you are building for X64.
In this folder you should find pcre.lib and zlib.lib.

Copy these two .lib files into:

  (for Win32)
  VS 2003: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\lib
  VS 2005: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib
  VS 2008: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib

  (for Win64)
  VS 2005: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib\amd64
  VS 2008: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib\amd64

The two DLL files provided with this distribution should go in your binary folder, OR
under C:\Windows\System32.

This only has to be done once per compiler!
When you update ArcEmu, this doesn't need to be done each time.

Now you can build ArcEmu as normal.

to start off, you should have downloaded and installed the files from my last guide. If you haven't please do so now.

Lets Start:

Open "My Documents" in you start menu.
Once there put this in the Address Bar: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC
ok once there open up the filed called "include"

now go to Branches\Extras\Arcemu-Window-Libraries\VC
in there open up the file "include"
copy everything from the Branches\Extras\Arcemu-Window-Libraries\VC\Include to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\

do the same with Branches\Extras\Arcemu-Window-Libraries\VC\lib
to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib

now go to branches\extras\arcemu-windows-libraries\Sources
and open VC90-solution.sln
once open, you will see 2 boxes that say debug//Win32
change "debug" to "release"
go to the "build" tool and select "clean solution"
once that is done go back to the "build" tool and select "build solution"

close VC90-solution.sln
and there should be a folder called "Output-release"
open it and copy pcre.lib and zlib.lib to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib

go back to branches\extras\arcemu-windows-libraries
now open the folder called "DLL Files"
once in the copy both those files into C:\WINDOWS\System32

Congrats You Have Made It Through The ReadMe.conf!

now report back to my previous guide

This was very helpful Thanks man! +REP

[haxadin]

i have a problem when i open VC90-solution.sln i get 2 errors that say: C:\blabla....\Sources\VC90-Pcre.vcproj cannot be opened because its project type (.vcproj) is not supported by this Version of application.
To open it please use a version that supports this type of project.
OK Help

anyone knows what to do?

[Kanng]

Well i'm not the best with C++ sorry to say, i suggest you take it up with www.arcemu.org sorry for not being helpful.

When i open "VC90-solution.snl" it opens but i can't find debug and Win32.

Where is it supposed top be, would really help if there where screen shots.

[arandd]

You need to right click VC90-solution in the program and hit properties in the program, then configuration properties, will be at top. That is only ONE way.

lol i'll explain it more thoroughly, find the build tool up at the top, then go to build configurations and it should be there as a drop-down menu so just press ok once you've change debug to released.
