OTClient compiling error

[Zolias]

Hello,

I am currently trying to compile OTClient. I used the following instructions Compiling on Windows · edubart/otclient Wiki · GitHub and have all the required software (using VS2015). I am aware that the guide is apparently outdated but I have no up to date ones.

Now, I can open the solution properly and everything seems fine. I have downloaded the OTClient library as well as boost 1_63_0 (despite it not being mentioned on the website). I then moved the bat file from the OTClient library folder boost_1_63_0 in the real "boost_1_63_0" folder. I then used the .bat file from the OTClient library and then used the .bat file in the boost_1_63_0 folder. Afterwards, I open up the solution and try to build it but I get the following error:

I assume it is missing the libraries despite me using the .bat files. Does anyone have experience with this issue and can enlighten me? Thanks in advance!

register_otclient_sdk_env.bat should be inside otclient-sdk-master folder, then you run it.
register_otclient_boost_env.bat should be inside boost_1_63_0, then you run it (there is a boost_1_63_0 folder inside otclient-sdk-master folder).

I actually manage to compile it, Windows 7, VS 2015, x64, but when I run it I got this error window:

otclient.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.

I got it compiled after hundreds warnings, people at discord told me it's default for otclient. I followed wiki guide. No idea what is missing.

@Peonso, copy glew32.dll and zlib.dll files into your otclient directory and try again, it should work.

@Peonso, copy glew32.dll and zlib.dll files into your otclient directory and try again, it should work.

I still get the same error, I was using the exe from @Summ, got it here, and it needed no dlls.

It depends on type of linking - if you compile with static linking, no dlls are required. However, the error you got is exactly the same as mine when I compiled with dynamic linking, and copying these dlls worked for me. Did you copy dlls from the otclient-sdk, bin/x64 directories?

Yeah! Gonna try to compile with static liking to see what happens.

edit
Actually it worked once I tried the x86 version instead of x64, thx!

Thanks for the responses. I have tried it exactly as you described @Peonso but I still get the same error. I download the fresh libraries, I use the bat in the master folder, I then go into boost_1_63_0 within the master folder and open the bat there, then I open the solution & click "Build Solution" and I get this error. Since you had success with switching versions I have tried the same but switching to a x64 built gives me even more errors.

Edit: Okay, I have somewhat solved it. I copied all the "include" folders into \programsx86\Windows Kits\8.1\Include & then added the Libs in VS under linker manually since the .bat files do not work for me at all. However, I have the exact same issue as mentioned above now. It told me it lacked 3 dll files (zlib.dll, openal32.dll & glew32.dll) which I then moved into the vc14 folder so I do not get those lack messages anymore but now I get

The program '[4464] otclient.exe' has exited with code -1073741701 (0xc000007b).

I tried your suggestion by putting the .dll in the directory but it did not change anything. Where exactly else should I put them? I have tried vc14 & the general client folder. Is it supposed to go somewhere else?

Edit 2: I'm an idiot. Made the exact same mistake and used x64 .dll's. I changed for the x84 ones and it works like a charm. Thank you very much!
