[Zerbinati]

I own Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate..
I never used.. I would like to see differences with MinGW for my test
Could someone kindly explain step by step how to create a project and compile it?
Thanks in advance

1. Open it.
2. Hit File -> New -> Project from existing code.
3. Choose "Visual C++" as your language
4. Now you've to choose the folder of SF source and name the project.
5. Choose Project Type -> Console application and click finish.
6. Hit F5 and bingo!
You might get some problems with compiling egtb code, though.

The trick as Joona pointed out is NOT to add tbcore.cpp to the project. It's essentially an include file with a .cpp extension. Hope that does it for u

was reported here, end of last year, "Errors compiling SF under MSVC":

Also this, probably more relevant because the change to C++11 was not done yet, that was somewhere in february I believe? (you can search all Fishcooking for threads that mention "MSVC")

I can confirm that all errors I previously posted went away after installing service pack 4 except for this one..

It did block compilation for me until I read this
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/204 ... r-on-c4996
and went into the project settings and manually changed SDL checks to No.

In thread "c++11 branch"

I've made a 64 bit Visual Studio project for you which compiles without problems although I didn't test the executable for correctness.

You can download it here:

Maybe you have to change the defines a little to suit your processor.

/D "USE_PEXT" /D "USE_POPCNT" /D "IS_64BIT" /D "USE_PREFETCH" /D "_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS"

Depending upon your processor you probably have to remove the USE_PEXT and the USE_POPCNT otherwise it will crash at startup.

I upgraded (Update 4)
and I removed from the project tbcore.cpp
now everything works fine
thanks a lot to everyone.
