Refresh! :/

I just had the same problem:

'lua_Unsigned': redefinition; different basic types

followed by a whole list of errors like:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error (active) E0020 identifier luaL_checkint is undefined otclient D:\DATA\client\otclient-master\src\framework\luaengine\lbitlib.cpp 272

but I managed to resolve theese issues and successfully compile+run this otclient, so I decided to share my experience mainly bacause I've spent whole day yesterday digging across otland for solution. Well perhaps you or someone else in the future will find it useful.

I'm using Visual Studio 2019 Community, vcpkg 20.01 from the master branch and 64bit version of edubart otclient.


My first attempt was: (Do not follow theese steps!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In file: otclient-master\src\framework\luaengine\lbitlib.cpp I added:

#define luaL_checkint
#define luaL_optint
#define luaL_register

In the same file I deleted line:
LUA_UNSIGNED lua_Unsigned; (file lua.h has the same definition)

In file: otclient-master\src\framework\luaengine\luainterface.cpp I added:
#define lua_getfenv
#define lua_setfenv

This solves mentioned compilation errors and leads to:

Error LNK1181 cannot open input file lua51.lib otclient D:\DATA\client\otclient-master\vc14\LINK 1

I searched my hard drives for this file or lua5.1.lib but I didn't find any of these. Finally I got one from the internet.
I have rebuilt my solution and it copiled without an error.

But otclient.exe didn't want to start. Thus solution number one is not working.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Attempt nr2 (this one worked):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I decided to dig deeper in search of an answers and after a long battle with stackoverflow bullshittery. (People tend to advice others to reinstall windows or something totally irrelevant like buying better power supply) I've found a gold nugget: An advice to check firewall rules. Yes this damn piece of junk blocked one of vcpkg processes (I'm using comodo). Vcpkg didn't even mention about any problems during libraries installation, so I didn't notice that something is wrong.

I dropped this rule
once again i fired out:

./vcpkg install boost-iostreams:x64-windows boost-asio:x64-windows boost-system:x64-windows boost-variant:x64-windows boost-lockfree:x64-windows luajit:x64-windows glew:x64-windows boost-filesystem:x64-windows boost-uuid:x64-windows physfs:x64-windows openal-soft:x64-windows libogg:x64-windows libvorbis:x64-windows zlib:x64-windows opengl:x64-windows

I made a new project in visual studio for otclient to purge my failures.
Then: Build Solution
and it works.

You are my hero ) thanks bro

What firewall rule did you remove? I'm getting the same error compiling on VS2019

Just disable the firewall entirely for the downloading process #livingdangerously

 

[threpwood]

Thanks for the reply!

I actually solved it by changing the include directory of lua (e.g. change "#include <lua.hpp>" to "#include <luajit/lua.hpp>"

 

[Axelot]

Glad it worked.
In my case I didn't have to include anything manually. Perhaps it's due to silght differences in lib versions? I don't know.
