torcs-devel Mailing List for TORCS - The Open Racing Car Simulator

Hi !

Good to see that this maillist is finally active :D

For my own, ~6 months I tried to compile Torcs 1.3.8 on Windows 10, I had
problems due to this story of VS Code 2008 or something else. Finally I
just installed an exe if I remember correctly.

Personally, as I use GNU/Linux, it's not really a problem for me, but I
understand that it would be disturbing for some people.

So, I think, first, you should try an exe if there is really one in the
attachments, but I'm not totally sure. Then, maybe you could
upgrade/downgrade some libraries ? Maybe that webpage could help you
https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=13276. Btw, check
if you're in the `r1-3-1` branch, this one has the latest Torcs code (4
years ago but anyway o_O), and the README.me has a lot of informations, for
example details for all installations and well to-do list.

Maybe you can ask Bernhard, project leader, but it seems to be hard to be
in contact with him, one day he told me that he has lot of messages so he
could skip somes, but then no more mails. Hope you will reach him for your
own ;)

Hope this helps, and get your feedback soon =)

Good day,

Athozus.

Hi All,

I am trying to build Torcs 1.3.8 test code drop. I'm using MS VS 2022
Community and running Windows 11. I've traced the problem down to building
the 'robottools' package. I'm unable to build robottools.dll. The error I'm
getting from robottools.log is:

******
  rttelem.cpp
  rttrack.cpp
C:\torcs-1.3.8-test1\src\libs\robottools\rttrack.cpp(275,5): warning C4305:

.\Debug\robottools.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
*****

The error code is referencing *ul_vs2008_32.lib* so it seems that VS 2022
needs to have some VS 2008 software installed to build. VS 2008 is out of
support now.

Has anyone encountered this error before? If so, then how did you resolve
it?

Kind Regards,
Stuart

P.S.: I'm new to this codebase and MS Visual Studio so please be patient
with me.  Thanks in advance.
