There seems to be quite a bit confusion about what is necessary to compile our source here lately, so let me post some things that will hopefully clear things up:

 

  1. All of the core developers use at a minimum Visual Studio .NET 2003 (sometimes calls VS.NET or VS2003, VS2k3, etc).  This version will recompile the interface code (C#), the DSP code (C) and several supporting libraries (C/C++).
  2. Visual C# .NET will only compile the interface (not the libraries or the DSP).
  3. Visual C++ .NET will only compile the DSP and support libraries (not the interface).
  4. The .NET Framework comes with working .NET compilers that will compile C#, C, and C++.  It would be necessary to reflect our project settings in the command line arguments for these compilers.  NOTE: This is not a visual environment and an editor is not included.  It is simply a command line compiler.
  5. SharpDevelop is a free C# compiler that will also compile C/C++ projects.  I believe that with a little bit of work, you can convert our VS.NET project into a SharpDevelop project.

 

 

Based on all of this, it seems that we should probably ask the FlexRadio community for 2 things.

 

  1. “Make files” for each of our 7 projects (C#/C/C++) that will work with the included .NET compilers.  These are files that you can run to compile the source using the compilers mentioned in #4 above.
  2. SharpDevelop project files that will compile our source. 

 

 

If you are willing to contribute to either of the above, please send me a message off the list and I will coordinate.  Thanks.

Subject: [Flexradio] Trying to compile Power SDR

 

First, Merry Christmas eve to all!

 

Recently, someone mentioned that Visual Studio C# 2005 was available as a Christmas download from Microsoft. I did that, along with DirectX SDK and MDAC 2.8. Last night I tried my first compile with source from Power V1.5.9.  I got 8 errors, 4 warnings and nothing that resembled PowerSDR.exe. Visual Studio went through a conversion process where it converted files from Visual Studio c# 2003. It moaned and groaned and then spit out the list of errors.

 

I am running XP Pro with the latest updates

 

I did a screen capture of the error list and have it partially posted at: http://w8er.com/error1.jpg

 

Any ideas that will help get me away from this computer before Santa gets here?
