Can't Compile Visual 2013

[jsevamo]

Hey guys, I'm very noob at this. Could someone please help me?

I downloaded the project, tried to run it, but then this happens:

"Unable to start program C:\cyclone-physics-master\build...\lib\cyclone.lib"

What's going on? Could someone help please?

Hi,

It looks like you have not told your project in the settings how to find cyclone.lib. If you inspect the repo you can find the required static library in cyclone-physics/lib/win32. Note that these are 2-year-old 32-bit libraries, so are unlikely to be useful if you are using a 64-bit machine and environment.

What I suggest you do is that you rebuild the project by loading and converting the cyclone_vc10.sln file in cyclone-physics/build - or better still, fork the repo and do what I just described, then issue a pull request to this repo and let the author decide whether to merge.

It shouldn't be tough as Visual Studio should offer to perform the conversion for you that you can test locally.

@ButchDean Your method is not working for me. When you open an older visual studio project in 2015 it offers to convert the project for you. After that completes I rebuild Cyclone and it creates the "...\lib\cyclone_d.lib" then when I run the debugger I receive the same message as @jsevamo . At the bottom of the error window it also states "Operation not supported. Unknown error: 0x800700c1". Have you attempted to run this project in 2015 yourself?

As mentioned before cyclone.lib is either not being found or simply failing to build as it is the startup project in the solution required by the subsequent examples. I may , when I have some time, look into it but am really very busy right now so don't wait on me.
