I'm new to this plugin development. so bear with me.
I have downloaded the FireBreath project. It was wonderful. When i build it as the way they said, I got following three errors.
I have built it using visual studio 2005, I executed the following line in command prompt
"prep2005.cmd examples"
The Errors are,
1. 'SwitchToThread': identifier not found d:\Projects\firebreath-FireBreath-b73d799\src\libs\log4cplus\src\threads.cxx 92
2. Cannot open include file: 'vfwmsgs.h': No such file or directory d:\Projects\firebreath-FireBreath-b73d799\examples\BasicMediaPlayer\Win\error_mapping.cpp 18
3. Cannot open include file: 'dshow.h': No such file or directory d:\Projects\firebreath-FireBreath-b73d799\examples\BasicMediaPlayer\Win\MediaPlayerWin.cpp 24
Whether am i doing right. Am i missed something ?
FireBreath comes with two samples, namely BasicMediaPlayer and FBTestPlugin. When you type prep2005.cmd examples, it builds visual studio project for both the plugins. The BasicMediaPlayer sample uses DirectX to play specified videos in the browser. The two headers which are not found are the directx header. So it seems like those headers are not present on the default location on your system, so firebreath generated project is not able to find it. Check for their exact location and change it in the generated project. It will work. If you build only FBTestPlugin, it will build successfully.

During installation I get "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" and prompt to specify some path to vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi. After providing some path to required file I get error states that this file doesn't match required version Minimum Runtime 14.14.26405.
I finally found the solution reading this question: Install vcredist_x64 with VS2017 installer project
I realized that specific VC_Redist.x64.exe files could be downloaded by links like https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/26405.00/VC_Redist.x64.exe, where 26405.00 is exactly the version I was required to fix. Note, that you need version from error text after clicking OK, not from window title.
And the last point is that this exe must be executed from cmd with argument /repair to help me with this issue. Regular execution by double click made no effect.
I found the solution elsewhere. It said to
Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/windows-fix-problems-that-block-programs-being-installed-or-removed
download troubleshooter button on the link.
Run it - choose option - have problem with installing - it lists programs - choose the missing / problematic visual c++ runtimes in the list
it will run and get fixed.
Repeat for each visual c++ you having problems with. I ran the program multiple times.
I have to thank this comment section for helping me with this problem, since I have not been able to work more efficently with my school, since I din't know what and if a single file somewhere deep down in the computer had to be deleted for this program to work.
InstallShield must be the crappiest "industry standard" application in existence, for reasons too numerous to enumerate here. However, one of those deficiencies is something I'd like to be able to fix, and with my first foray into writing an extension for Visual Studio (currently using 2015 version).
InstallShield has created a .isproj type, to allow integration with Visual Studio. This allows a developer to create an installer that references the output of a project as the files to include in the installer (rather than having to manually select individual files to include). This works well enough as long as the .isproj is being built in Visual Studio, and in a solution that references the project for which you need the output.
However, I also have an automated build for my installer projects, that we run on a build server using MSBuild. When attempting to build this way, we were getting completely opaque error messages indicating that the project output references above couldn't be resolved.
As with all InstallShield errors, Googling for answers turned up nothing except for multitudes of other people having the same problem. So I decided to dig into the plain text of the .isproj to see what I could find.
As it turns out, the .isproj type is a just a regular MSBuild script, and it even has lines commented out that explain options that can be added to the project; one of those things that can be added is an ItemGroup containing ProjectReference nodes. Manually adding the nodes helped solve the problem. Command-line build now works.
However, I am dissatisfied with a) having to manually type this stuff in, b) having no visual representation of what projects are being referenced, and c) not finding out about a problem until the build fails. So, I would like to be able to extend Visual Studio to help me with this. Here's what I'd like to do:
1) Add a "References" node to the project in Solution Explorer that acts like the References node for any normal .csproj.
2) Restrict the available References to other projects in the the current solution.
3) Visually represent a project with missing references (e.g. by underlining the project name with a colored squiggly, as with errors/warnings), and potentially failing the build if missing (depending on whether I want to treat it as an error or a warning; TBD).
To these ends, I've downloaded MPF for Projects - Visual Studio 2013, which provides an SDK for creating a new project type.
However, before digging too deeply, I need to know if it's even possible to EXTEND an existing project type, as described above, as I obviously don't have InstallShield source code. Also, any links or guidance as to a starting point for doing so would be greatly appreciated.
Trying j2me app development. I got a simple Hello to work, and a simple TextBox user as well. But when I tried to compile code for a file browser I got "javax.microedition.io.file does not exist".
The WTK according to the Sun website is supposed to include JSR75. And there's a camera demo .java file that uses it.
I've looked in various places (the WTK, BlueJ, even Netbeans) for menu options to turn it on. Nothing. And a search of this forum turned up exactly ONE message and it pertains to another IDE, and it seemed to work for him in BlueJ.
So what am I missing and how do I get it?
In NetBeans, you go to Project Properties (right-click the project, and select Properties). Then click "Platform" and mark "File Connection and PIM Optional Packages 1.0".
On a whim I did a search for JSR75 jar download and found a few zipped jar files that seemed to contain the file classes. I unzipped one of them and put it in the Libraries/Userlib directory of BlueJ; and now I seem to have the File... Classes. Reading and writing seem to work in the emulator.
I'll take another look at Netbeans when I get a chance.
I was happily compiling and running source code today. Then I added a few lines to one of my modules, and suddenly Visual Studio 2012 refused to compile the code, with the error message:
error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'rpcerr.h': No such file or directory.
I'm not sure why the compiler suddenly needs to find rpcerr.h. I'm not doing anything I wasn't doing yesterday, but now I can't make the error go away.
I also have not been able to find rpcerr.h, myself. The reference is in rpc.h, which is part of the Visual Studio library. I'm guessing it got linked in because I included <windows.h>. But I don't know where I can find rpcerr.h, or what this file is supposed to do.
I would really like to go forward with this development. I'm guessing the code tried to compile rpcerr.h for a good reason, and that if I'm going to be using rpc.h for whatever reason this gets compiled into my source code, then I should get rpcerr.h as well. But trying to find it is sending me into a mobius loop.
Currently, the compiler is only complaining about rpcerr.h.
I'd better write this up, this is bound to happen again sooner or later. The <rpc.h> SDK file is stone cold old and dates back to the days that Microsoft supported writing code for an Apple Macintosh. It still supports it, there's an #include for rpcerr.h. But that file is no longer supplied, only rpcnterr.h is available.
You need to scan your source, or recently added #includes, for the a #define for MAC or _MAC, the one that Microsoft uses to select a Macintosh target. Using the editor's "Go To Definition" context menu command is the easiest way.
Or use this as a workaround:
#undef MAC
#undef _MAC
#include <rpc.h>
Or change the order of #includes. Beware that these workarounds might have side-effects, depending on how the other definition is used.
From this link Cocos2D_Game I downloaded the game and extracted the files.
Visual c++ express 2010 and marmalaid 5.2.1(from marmalaid.com) is installed (of-course on windows 7).
Now, which file is to be used to run the game. I tried almost all expected files. and when I press run, it returns an error "unable to start program... blah blah blah"
is there any special file to run the project ?
I didn't found *.mkb file in that project.
Please help me setting up this Cocos2d-x setup on my system for the first time.
And yeah, i just recalled on more thing.
I downloaded Cocos2d-x on my system. Extracted it. and kept it in my "d: drive".
Where shall the extract of Cocos2d-x be kept? Do I need specific path for that?
I can't shake the feeling that you haven't read any of the cocos2d-x documentation, in particular the Visual Studio user's guide. That's where you should start.
