Warnings and errors on Win32 examples build out of the box

Satsub · July 11, 2018, 9:24pm

(1) I downloaded 3.17 from here: http://www.cocos2d-x.org/download. I unzipped the download to a directory.

(2) I opened the file build/cocos2d-win32.sln in Visual Studio Community 2015.

(3) When loading the projects it told me I needed to install the Windows XP SDK. This seemed very strange but I let it do the install and restarted the machine.

(4) I chose Build Solution from the menu.

(5) I got lots of errors and warnings as shown below (edited for brevity). Am I doing something wrong? It seems like maybe the wrong C++ version is selected somewhere?

What OS are you on?

Did you see this doc: http://cocos2d-x.org/docs/cocos2d-x/en/installation/Windows.html

Are you saying something is wrong with this doc? If so I can take a look at the steps and see.

Satsub · July 12, 2018, 12:39am

Well, first of all, that page should be referenced in the readme.md, at least inside C:\Users\Michael\Documents\work\Cocos2dx\build, if not at the top level.

But yes, I ran the python script, opened cocos2d-win32.sln in Visual Studio Community 2015, selected Rebuild Solution, and got the errors shown. I’m on Windows 10 Pro version 1803. Let me know if there’s anything else I can tell you.

slackmoehrle · July 12, 2018, 12:47am

ok, I can create a Windows 10 VM and test this step by step to see what is failing and update the docs. I apologize as we test this repeatedly each release. I have vm’s for this, for this reason.

Can you show me your $PATH, please?

Also the output of cocos -v, please?

Satsub · July 12, 2018, 1:28am

C:\Users\Michael\Documents\work\Cocos2dx>cocos -v
cocos2d-x-3.17
Cocos Console 2.3

There are tons of warnings in the build, especially related to things like double to float. I am interested to know if these are expected. If so, you should really say so in the build instructions, otherwise people think they are doing something wrong.

But I should say that the main clue to the build failure seems to be the lines that look like this:

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file ‘libSpine.lib’

slackmoehrle · July 12, 2018, 1:55am

What if you execute: download-deps.py?

Satsub · July 12, 2018, 2:06am

C:\Users\Michael\Documents\work\Cocos2dx>python download-deps.py

==> Prepare to download external libraries!
==> Not need to update!

slackmoehrle · July 12, 2018, 2:11am

Thanks. I’ll test the process.

drelaptop · July 14, 2018, 2:38pm

The reason is our test team tested the build on Windows 7, and used the platform tools v140_xp. so that the visual studio 2015 told you to install needed sdk. You can find source code like below at any .vcxproj files.

<PlatformToolset Condition="'$(VisualStudioVersion)' == '14.0'">v140</PlatformToolset>
    <PlatformToolset Condition="'$(VisualStudioVersion)' == '14.0' and exists('$(MSBuildProgramFiles32)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A')">v140_xp</PlatformToolset>
    <PlatformToolset Condition="'$(VisualStudioVersion)' == '15.0'">v141</PlatformToolset>
    <PlatformToolset Condition="'$(VisualStudioVersion)' == '15.0' and exists('$(MSBuildProgramFiles32)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A')">v141_xp</PlatformToolset>

Indeed, you can select to Retarget the PlatformToolset, not need to download Windows XP SDK. please refer to To target the Windows 10 SDK, it works when I build cocos2d-win32.sln on my Windows 10 PC.

About the 10>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ‘libSpine.lib’,I think the reason is libSpine build target failed, so that link error occurs. You can clean all your build, and then retarget SDK for every one project, finally build again. I think every thing will be OK.

slackmoehrle · July 14, 2018, 2:41pm

Cool. I’ll test this also.

drelaptop · July 14, 2018, 2:46pm

thanks, ReTarget Windows SDK is a common solution for windows build issue, when developer use a different windows environment. for example Win10 or VS 2017, different from Win7 & VS 2015.

slackmoehrle · July 14, 2018, 2:49pm

I’ll add to windows doc also.
