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

Yeah, I said Bob Dole.. Bob Dole... Bob Dole...... bob dole.... bob... dole.... but for some reason that got altered when i posted.

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.
