3DView2 Workspace Setup 1 3DView2 Workspace Setup 1.1 What you need In order to compile [3DView2] or [3DEmotion] you need: * __Microsoft Visual Studio 7.1__ (aka Visual Studio .NET 2003) or better (other compilers might work, too, but I cannot help you with that.) * The latest version of the __Microsoft DirectX SDK__ installed. (DirectX 9 SDK, October 2005 Update at the time I write this. Later version should work, too.). The SDK is available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx. * The EAX 2.0 SDK by Creative Labs installed; it is needed by the sound system. Download: http://developer.creative.com/articles/article.asp?cat=1&sbcat=31&top=71&aid=138 * The current Java SDK installed if you plan to compile the Eclipse plugin. It is available from http://java.sun.com (Without the Java SDK, you will still be able to compile the standalone version of 3DView.) I assume you have at least a basic understanding of C++, Microsoft Windows Programming and Microsoft DirectX. If not, there are excellent tutorials out there. It is not that difficult, really :) 1.1 Getting the source code Grab the project org.micropsi.native.code from our [CVS]. (Careful: it's huge! About 70MB at the time I write this, but chances are it has grown since then :)) It is split into several subprojects witch reside in separate folders. See [3DView2 Project Structure] for details. 1.1 Compiling In the folder ~~micropsi/3dview2/code~~, there should be a Solution File called ~~3dview_with_libs.sln~~. The solution file for 3demotion is ~~3demotion_with_libs.sln~~ in the folder ~~micropsi/3demotion/code~~. Open one of these files with Visual Studio and ~~Batch Build~~ all targets and all configurations. You're done! 1.1 Setting the Working Directory You must set the working directory for both 3dview2.exe and 3demotion.exe to ~~../bin~~ in MS Visual Studio (under ~~project properties~~ --> ~~debugging~~). Otherwise you will get error messages (file not found etc.) when running the applications from within Visual Studio. 2005-11-16 12:11:20.524 2004-10-27 19:13:26.328
