So......
Recently I got a new work computer which upgraded it from 32bit win7 to 64bit win7 and also got rid of just about every useful application that I had.
Most of the tools i built in VB6 no longer work
but worst of all, none of my server code would compile in codeblocks any longer due to missing libraries such as pthreads and mysql.
This morning I had a bit of free time so I decided to fix that situation. First I did everything I could think of to make it compile in CB but every attempt failed.
"Bugger this" I thought to myself and fired up visual studio 2010. Created a new project and manually added all the files that are used in the normal project. Had a few issues with getting pthreads to play nice but eventually found that using pthreadVC2.dll worked just fine.
A few moments ago I got the KTRose worldserver to fully compile in VS2010. And it runs perfectly too
And i thought it was going to be difficult to do it.
so if anybody is interested I can tell yo all exactly how to convert over to VS as it's a LOT easier to use than codeblocks IMO
