[TFS 1.4.2] Error compiling

[gatuxoss]

Hello everyone,

I'm having a problem while trying to compile and build TFS 1.4.2 on my Windows PC.



I followed everything in the tutorial as it says in: Compiling on Windows (vcpkg) (https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/wiki/Compiling-on-Windows-%28vcpkg%29)

I saw in another thread that downgrading boost must fix it, BUT, downgrading it is not easy as I thought. Any tutorial on how to do it properly?

Ok, I managed to download and install independently boost and fmt packages and linked directly to the project in Visual Studio, all erros were gone except for that Visual Studio cannot find the libs for boost.

could not open input file 'libboost_atomic-vc142-mt-s-x64-1_79.lib'

Any idea in how to fix?

Check the baseline of the vcpkg.json and find exactly what version of boost it is installing. The newer boost library made a few changes and io_service for example is called something else now.

how come the repository is linking to otacademy discord when its otlands projects fork and has nothing to do with otacademy?

Hi Temperament, the Discord OTA is the main group Discord that I use to help people and it has a specific room for my "TFS-10.98" repository where people can ask questions or report Issues
