KOS under windows and VC6++

Vorrtexx · Post by **Vorrtexx** » Sun Apr 06, 2003 5:46 am

For anyone who wants to use KOS 1.1.9 with VC6++ in windows you can use this little DC Project Wizard I Created.
Basically The same thing at the Pern Project but I updated it for KOS 1.1.9
enabled romdisk usage more easily
and allows you to select between using c files or cpp files.

you can grab it here:

any questions, suggestions, comments email me at vorrtexx@yahoo.com
Read the readme.txt file included to install/setup.

Wow, great !

I tried it and work's fine for the app wizard.
I Just had a pbm with the Romdisk creation. My Dos console (I use WinMe) don't run the 'if exist' conditions of createim.bat and createo.bat. The batch always return 'directory not found'. When I delete them, all works nice.

I'll update my pern Project's app wizard // Bin2odc.exe

Thanks

Does anyone still have the appwizard?
I noticed it's not on the site anymore, I would appreciate if someone could send it to me.

are you gonna make one for KOS 1.3.0? or whatever the latest version is now?

edit: question directed towards OP (Vortexx)

Not really, I just need it to get back to devving.

Do you have it?
Vorrtexx?
Anyone?

this is an old one heh.
I have one that works with KOS 1.2.0 which links to a cygwin setup.
basically it lets you use VC6++ as your IDE editor and pressing Alt B B will compile it for you then, without using a makefile (well it uses a VC mak file).
It works fine for me, but when my projects get large, I tend to use a MakeFile instead and run it from within cygwin, as it will recompile only the class files that were altered (where in VC6++, it will recompile every class file) and it can take a couple of seconds longer for larger projects when using it in VC.

I have KOS 1.3.0 but I have not had time to compile it yet.
If you're looking for a link let me know. I have the source to the project wizard somewhere here, I can recompile it and upload it.

Okay, I sent you a message I think. I've had problems with PM's before.

Vorrtexx:
I've used 1.1.9 for all my devving, Is there a lot of differences between 1.1.9 and 1.2.0?
It would be very nice of you to recompile and upload it again.

I have no idea, it's been over a year since I last looked at 1.1.9 and many months since I last loaded the wizard code. If I have both I'll take a look and do two seperate builds if neccessary. I'll try getting it up within the next couple of days (busy with final exams)

Okay, thanks Vorrtexx!

Err, what ever happened to createo.bat and createim.bat?
They're not part of the installation but the compiler needs them and I'm sure I had them before.

EDIT: Oh, I just realized they had to be created by your appwizard or something. It's not needed with the 1.1.7 setup and it's not a part of cygwin. it's only needed for the stuff I created using your appwizard.

Ok I re-upped them. you can grab them from here: http://vorrtexx.ionichost.com

Thanks Vorrtexx, I really appreciate it!

However, It won't work for me.

All the things I've tried compiling gives me the same error:

I doesn't look that serious, but what do I know...

Has anyone got a clue at what might be wrong?

I notice its the one for the DCDevKit from The Pern Project.
The project wizard/mak file I used for that was really old and I think it had some problems in it.
Because I haven't used it in so long, I really couldn't say.

Tvspelsfreak · Post by **Tvspelsfreak** » Mon May 24, 2004 4:22 am

I fixed it a couple of days ago.
I just reinstalled Visual C++ and the devkit and now it works like a charm.

Thanks again Vorrtexx!

No prob.
I put the source to the dcdevkit project wizard up on my page so if you want to fiddle with editing it for you own purposes you can do so.
