!st, I am NOT a programmer or know anything about code. I am trying to compile the SBBS3.sln code with Visual Studio 2022. I've add all the redisturbution files from 2015-2022. I know it's a bug question I'm asking but anyone care to look at these errors and give me an idea how to fix it? I have setup and followed the building .MD file and directory setup.

Re: Compiling errors
By: Richard Vonzel to All on Tue Feb 25 2025 01:18 pm

!st, I am NOT a programmer or know anything about code. I am trying to compile the SBBS3.sln code with Visual Studio 2022.

Just curious: why?

I've add all the
redisturbution files from 2015-2022. I know it's a bug question I'm asking but anyone care to look at these errors and give me an idea how to fix it? have setup and followed the building .MD file and directory setup.

You need to run sbbs/src/build/gitinfo.bat to generate git_branch.h and git_hash.h files (see src/sbbs3/releas.bat for example usage). You should have seen compiler errors before those 2 about the missing include files.

'fprintf' : format string '%s' requires an argument of type 'char *', but variadic argument 1 has type 'int'

Need more context.

The build tools for v141_xp (Platform Toolset = 'v141_xp') cannot be found.

I think you can google that way. It's just a Windows SDK/toolset you can install.

To build using the v141_xp build tools, please install v141_xp build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution".

Or you can do that.
