How compile WinUAE...

[mark_k]

Strange, I don't know why that is. I've also uploaded the archive to 4!shared (remove ! from URL) and Multiupload.

Well, your version also works fine on my WinXPSP3 system... see no difference in comparison to official beta 10 (see on pic. below).

Maybe also needs more testing...

EDIT: Pic.1 shows task-manager while is WinUAE beta 10 running KS1.3 WB hand screen on A500 OCS config.!

EDIT2: Pic.2 shows task-manager while is running Cylindric Scroll (Demo) by Concept -> http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=6403

EDIT3: Pic.3 shows task-manager while is running Jim Power "title screen" -> http://hol.abime.net/798

EDIT4: But also sometimes got framework by dots on Power LED and others (Pic.4) when using your version after END+F1 when have win-log box checked ?!

Otherwise, didnt notice any improvement in comparison to official beta 10 version.

No I didnt. Thanks. It finally works!

Easy speed test is to run some long demo in warp mode and use stop watch to time how long it takes to run from start to end.

(for some reason 2012 [and 2013] are over 10x faster when compiling with max optimization. 2010 compiles really slowly.)

-> 2010 will be used at least until XP becomes unsupported.

Could the crashes-on-some-XP-systems issue actually be due to SSE2 code?

Visual Studio 2012+ generates code which uses SSE2 instructions by default. Perhaps the people who experienced crashes on XP systems had older CPUs that don't support SSE2? And maybe everyone with a newer Windows version has an SSE2-capable CPU? AthlonXP and Pentium III don't support SSE2 for example.

For the Enable Enhanced Instruction Set option (which seems to be "Not Set" in the WinUAE VS solution), the VS 2013 description reads in part "If no option is specified, the compiler will use instructions found on processors that support SSE2. Use of enhanced instructions can be disabled with /arch:IA32."

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I've been trying to compile WinUAE 2.7 from git for the better part of the day. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Express. I'm all the way up the the linking phase, when it fails with missing exports to DirectDraw and DirectInput. Toni, if you are using the latest DX SDK, why are there still references to DirectDraw? It appears to be dependent on DirectX 7 or 8. What's the deal? Am I doing something wrong?

[Toni Wilen]

DirectDraw is still supported. It has to be. It is MUCH faster on old hardware, especially old laptops that may have fast enough CPU but really crappy GPU.

ddraw.lib is included with winuaeinclibs.zip

I don't know what I did wrong, but it's working now. I started over from scratch. I think I must not have had the includes and library directories set up correctly the first time. There were some missing files too, like winres.h (because of Express Edition) and lualib.h. Also had to change Platform Toolset from v120_xp to v100.

How hard would it be to compile in VS 2008? I actually have a copy of that.

My whole reason for compiling from source is that I want to decrypt the Logica Dialoga ROM to use on my real A3000. I have a legal copy of Amiga Forever with the ROM key, I'm just trying to figure out where in the source code (rommgr.cpp?) to do a CreateFile/WriteFile. Any tips?

[thor]

If the sole reason is to get the ROM then compiling the whole WinUAE is overkill. Just use the debugger (shift+f12) and use something like "S saved.rom f80000 80000" to save the copy from memory to a file. If you want to do a bit of programming just rip out the portions that decrypt this+load/save. Of course a self-compiled WinUAE gives you something to play with.

Thanks Thor! That's certainly the easiest way to dump the ROM. Now I just need to burn it into some EPROMs.

Thanks guys!

1. Open the Property Manager pane.
2. Select all the projects and add a new project property sheet.

4. Select the new shared property sheet and add winuaeinclibs\lib as an lib path.

I've installed VS2010 Express C++, DX_SDK 2010, Nasm, WinUAEinclibs.zip and want to compile WinUAE 2.7.0. I've executed od-win32\asm.cmd to get the hq*x*.obj files, changed all projects to RELEASE, the platformtoolset to V100 and added my include and lib paths. Then compiled build68k, genblitter, gencomp, gencpu, genlinetoscr and finally winuae_msvc10. So far, so good.

Now my problem: the linker complains many times about:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
error LNK2019: reference to unresolved external symbol

and these symbols are probably all resolved in the static libs, which are also listed under additional dependencies and I've added the path to the additional library drawers already, but that doesn't help. This should still work with VC 2008 but VC 2010 needs some "Project to Project References" for the static libraries.

As quoted above, Copse tried to explain that already, but I could not find out how exactly this project has to be created in VS2010Express and how the references have to be made.

Any help appreciated. Some screenshots could be useful. Thank you !

[Toni Wilen]

You probably have wrong calling convention (C/C++ -> Advanced -> Calling Convention. It was changed to fastcall recently)

If not, make sure VC++ directories -> Library Directories has your correct lib path.

Old MSVC project files that come with WinUAE are most likely totally obsolete..

(Why 2010?)

[PeterK]

Hey great, looks much better now, Toni
Your hint is much better than that from Microsoft with the "Project to Project References"

I will try to fix the remaining references. Thanks a lot.
Is there something sse2 specific to change in the settings ?

[Toni Wilen]

Redownload winuaeinclibs.zip, it seems recent MSVC will use SSE2 by default unless config is set to not enable it.

You need to manually disable aros rom stuff, it isn't included with source tree (too big).

[PeterK]

Ok, the SSE2 problem is fixed now. Thank you, Toni.

Only one unresolved reference in the libpng15.lib is left now:
Symbol "___report_rangecheckfailure" (see above)

MS says this can be fixed by disabling the /GS option for code generation:

select Configuration Properties | C/C++ | Code Generation, and set Buffer Security Check to No (/GS-)

Could you recompile the libpng15.lib with the NO (/GS-) option, please?

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...gecheckfailure

[Toni Wilen]

Done and also debugging data removed (results in annoying linker warnings if symbol file does not match).

[PeterK]

WinUAE 2.7.0 was built successful now with out-commented "prowizard_search" in moduleripper and without the aros.rom support. But it works and I can start testing modifications on my 8 year old XP system (that's why I need VS2010).

Thanks again, Toni
