WG 3.3 Wont compile

Ok, one month in and still WG 3.3 will not compile. NO errors are generated yet nothing happens. Anyway to just get the damn libraries like a regular dev environment?

I'm sorry - help me understand what you're doing, trying to do, and what is happening.

Easy, we're just trying to get WG 3.3 to compile. Doing make doesn't do a thing. Using the IDE to compile doesn't do it either. Using the instructions in Netvillage.doc doesn't work as the changes they say to make in the make file don't exist.

Why can't the libraries just be distributed rather than the whole source? All we want to do is make modules and not actually change WG.

That's kind of what I'm saying. You don't really need more than the libraries that are provided with the WG binaries and the WG dev kit.. you could easily setup your own environment.

When I compile, I open a new command prompt and then run my "wg32" batch file which contains:

Code: Select all

@echo off
SET CONFIG=WG3DEV
SET WGDEV=C:\WGDEV
SET BC50=C:\BC5
SET COMPILER=C:\BC5
SET DOSEXT=C:\RUN286
SET WGDOS=C:\WGSERVD
SET WGNT=C:\WGSERV
SET BUDOS=
SET VB3=C:\VB
SET LIB=C:\WGDEV\INC;C:\WGDEV\ENTSRC;C:\RUN286\BC5\LIB;C:\BC5\LIB
SET CMP=BC50-32
SET OS=WNT
SET WGPATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\BC5\BIN;C:\;C:\RUN286\BIN;C:\WGDEV\BIN;C:\TASM\BIN;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM;c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\BC5\BIN;C:\;C:\RUN286\BIN;C:\WGDEV\BIN;C:\TASM\BIN;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM;c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;\WGDEV\WGTOOLS\BTRIEVE;\PROGRA~1\IDMCOM~1\ULTRAE~1;
My structure is:

Borland C 5.01: C:\BC5
Worldgroup: C:\WGSERV
Worldgroup Dev: C:\WGDEV

An example of my Makefile:

I use MKV2P ELWBIO to compile it for WG2DOS, and MKNT ELWBIO to compile it for WG3NT.

The same source tree will compile both WG3NT and WG2DOS.

The main key is to set up your environment.

Here is my C:\WGDEV\SRC\GCRULES.MAK:

Windows XP Pro.

Same configuration moved from a Windows 2000 Pro laptop, though, so it works in both.

Also works on Server 2003.

Ok, so let me see if I have this right. I DONT need to compile WG 3.3 to make my modules? Just have the sources and the SDK?

Easy, we're just trying to get WG 3.3 to compile. Doing make doesn't do a thing. Using the IDE to compile doesn't do it either. Using the instructions in Netvillage.doc doesn't work as the changes they say to make in the make file don't exist.

Why can't the libraries just be distributed rather than the whole source? All we want to do is make modules and not actually change WG.
check your email on my server that will compile wg 3.3 from scratch in 5 mins

Correct. The LIBs and object components are already included in the kit. You just need to compile your modules.

I put my module code in subdirectories under C:\WGDEV\SRC\APPS\

Yeah, but he doesn't WANT to compile WG, he wants to compile modules.

You are correct but I did email him due to me believing that I had to compile WG first. I thought it odd as others told me this is what had to happen in order to get my mods to work.

im actually working on something for ya storm.
where basically its a wgsdk only the required files and borland stuff.

eliminates the need for the complete borland and wg stuff.

Awesome, we really could use that as we're behind a little bit in this project.

im actually working on something for ya storm.
