I always used the precompiled but for this time i want to compile it myself. So i have installed visual studio 2005

And i have added:

C:\Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8
C:\Program FilesMicrosoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2

To my path enviroment variables but it still says when i try to compile anope:

Looking for a suitable compiler...
Looking for: Microsoft visual studio 2005
ERROR: cannot find wsock32.lib - problably missing platform SDK.

ERROR: No suitable build tools were found!

What am i doing wrong as i know i have the sdk. I have windows xp service pack 2,
And can i get the modified build of anope?

type "set" into your visual command prompt. see what the results are. then search for wsock32.lib see where it is and see if there is the path to that folder in LIBRARY

[Pieter Bootsma]

Have you downloaded and installed the platform SDK? And do you use the Visual Studio command prompt instead of the 'normal' command prompt?

[heinz]

Microsoft decided to change the location of the Platform SDK since I created install.js, so you have 2 choices:

1) Change the "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2" folder to "Microsoft PlatformSDK"

2) Wait for 1.7.16 (or use the latest SVN revision) which corrects this problem.

Thanks for the answer Heinz,
Can you tell how i can download the anope version from SVN? Cause i think SDK chooses it's own path which isn't changeable.

[heinz]

You can rename the folder in c:\program files\ which will make it findable by install.js.

The latest svn revision tarball is available from here: http://dane.zero.org/websvn/dl.php?repname=Anope&path=%2Ftrunk%2F&rev=0&isdir=1

I thank you very much heinz
I downloaded the svn tried compiling it and it worked perfectly.

Now i have another question i want to compile it to use mysql if that's possible but it always says it's missing a dll. Or doesn't anope run on mysql at windows?

[heinz]

Which version of MySQL do you have installed? It should detect all versions, and copy a .dll file to the folder which Anope will run from.

[Jimmyhuybrechts]

I've got MySQL - 5.0.24a.
To which dll are you referring?

[heinz]

Did you install MySQL to a non-standard location? It should be installed in something like:

c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.0\

and it's looking for libmysql.dll in:

c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.0\lib\libmysql.dll

[Jimmyhuybrechts]

I got my Mysql install in C:\program files\MySQL5 as that's the standard location they use now. You got any solutions for that? So i still can sql support?

[Charles Kingsley]

Not sure why it went in there, I just installed the same version and it went exactly where chris said it would ...

[heinz]

As far as i'm aware, the default installation location is still c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.0, so the best bet is to re-install MySQL in the default location.
