Hello,

I just need help with fixing an error problem I get when compiling flag.dll. I get this error with no changes being mad to the code.

Code: Show/Hide

Warning 1 warning C4996: 'strncpy' was declared deprecated c:\documents and settings\d.....\mervbot\src\player.cpp 108
Warning 2 warning C4996: 'strncpy' was declared deprecated c:\documents and settings\d......\mervbot\src\player.cpp 109
Error 3 error C2664: 'GetCurrentDirectoryW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'char [512]' to 'LPWSTR' c:\documents and settings\.....\mervbot\src\flag2\spawn.cpp 53

It basically does that for 48 times for different lines. Anyways, if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.

The problem is that MERVBot is was written for ANSI and you're trying to compile it for UNICODE.

The possible solutions are:
- Use an older compiler
- Change every GetCurrentDirectory / GetCurrentDirectoryW to GetCurrentDirectoryA
- Tell your compiler to use ANSI (I don't know how though)

Thanks Bob Dole.. Bob Dole... Bob Dole...... bob dole.... bob... dole.... that did the trick. However, I still have 7 errors while compiling:

Code: Show/Hide

Error 4 error C2065: 'i' : undeclared identifier c:\documents and settings\....\mervbot\src\flag2\spawn.cpp 439
Error 5 error C2228: left of '.len' must have class/struct/union c:\documents and settings\....\mervbot\src\flag2\spawn.cpp 485
Error 6 error C2228: left of '.len' must have class/struct/union c:\documents and settings\....\mervbot\src\flag2\spawn.cpp 486
Error 7 error C2228: left of '.len' must have class/struct/union c:\documents and settings\....\mervbot\src\flag2\spawn.cpp 509
Error 8 error C2228: left of '.len' must have class/struct/union c:\documents and settings\....\mervbot\src\flag2\spawn.cpp 510
Error 9 error C2228: left of '.lfill' must have class/struct/union c:\documents and settings\...\mervbot\src\flag2\spawn.cpp 512
Error 10 error C2228: left of '.lfill' must have class/struct/union c:\documents and settings\....\mervbot\src\flag2\spawn.cpp 592

These error's were there before and once again I haven't made any changes yet to the source. Any ideas?

Thanks

That's mgbs punishment for using my own nick too often.

Could you paste some lines that contain errors?

The undeclared identifer should be easy to fix... just add "int" to the i in every for loop where it is missing.
The block scope of the for loop changed between versions.
