cannot compile on Windows #24

garfieldnate · 2016-02-15T02:35:59Z

Using VC++ 14.0, I cannot compile from source. The problem is an ambiguity caused by the << operator in common.h in the string_buffer class. Here's the error output:

For now, my fix was to cast the offending size_t type variable to unsigned int on line 758 of tagger.cpp:

os_ << "# " << (unsigned int) n << " " << prob() << '\n';

This creates a compiler warning, and I don't know if it is functioning correctly, but it seems usable. I do not think n will ever be bigger than an unsigned int can contain.

tavianator · 2016-02-12T15:06:04Z

Does #17 fix it for you?

garfieldnate · 2016-02-15T00:35:25Z

Sorry, I should have been more specific about what I was doing. The error I reported was for version 0.58. I checked out master, though, and it still gave me an error, though a different one. I applied #17 and the problem persists with both VC 12.0 and 14.0. Here's the output:

Everything compiles just fine when I change #include "winmain.h" to #include <windows.h>, even before your patch (though I haven't tested the functionality of the resulting binaries).

The command I'm running is nmake -f Makefile.msvc in a VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt. OS is Windows 8. nmake version 14.00.23506.0.

garfieldnate · 2016-02-15T02:37:00Z

Please note that I have not checked the source changes on other platforms, but the extra Makefiles should be useful to other Windows users.

tavianator · 2016-02-15T17:59:06Z

Right, for the winmain.h fix you need #15

garfieldnate · 2016-02-15T22:48:40Z

Ah. So what was the patch in #17 for? Or has that been fixed since?

tavianator · 2016-02-15T23:54:51Z

It fixes the build with mingw. I thought it might have helped your initial issue as well.

garfieldnate · 2016-02-16T02:33:09Z

Thanks for your help. I don't know if the repo will ever be updated, but hopefully this will help the next person. To compile easily with MSVC you need #15 and a few more makefiles. I added the needed makefile for the Java dll, but I didn't do it for the other bindings; it shouldn't be too hard to make the other ones with this as an example, though.
