Compiling OTclient, impossible!

[Booker]

Hello.
So, i'm trying to compile OT Client and it seems impossible to accomplish this frustrating task. I tried edubart's tutorial and searched, searched and searched with no success. I just get a thousand of errors at the beginning to the end.

I'm using MSVC 2017, windows. Already tried edubart's 2017 and 2015 tutorial, none of them even get close to succeeding, even though seems so easy looking at his 3-step tutorial. Tried to change boost version, download all libs from vcpkg, otclient sdk and nothing. I'll leave a part of the error log inside a spoiler:

I will give it a shot.

This tutorial works VS 2017:

Thanks, but i already watched that, it doesn't work. It gives me the same errors.

 

[Booker]

@Mr Trala , did that and nothing. All i get is 1 error now:

Error TRK0005 Failed to locate: "CL.exe". O sistema não pode encontrar o arquivo especificado. otclient C:\Users\Pichau\Desktop\OT\otclient\vc14\TRACKER 1

Question is, are my configs correct?

 

[Mr Trala]

Visual C++ in Visual Studio 2015
Visual C++ installed, but cannot find cl.exe?

CL.exe is from Visual so not really a OTC problem, did you install C++ in the installation?

In Visual Studio 2015, Visual C++ is not installed by default. When installing, be sure to choose Custom installation and then choose the C++ components you require. Or, if Visual Studio is already installed, choose File | New | Project | C++ and you will be prompted to install the necessary components.

Thank you @Mr Trala, it actually works! I've missed the C++ components. Still, i don't understand why MSVC 2017 doesn't do the job, do you have an explanation ?
For the ones that are trying to compile too: after successful compilation, remember to copy the .dll files that are in otclient-sdk to the otclient.exe folder!

 

[Mr Trala]

No idea to be honest, I don't have MSVC 17 and I still don't have a reason to download it maybe @Vulcan_ knows since iirc he made it there

 

[Infernum]

wat
what do you mean it doesn't do the job
there's some shit you gotta manually fix but i dont remember what exactly because this shit broken
i deleted otc 10 min after i compiled it cause i hate it, so i don't remember much about compiling it

idk, it gives a milion errors and doesn't compile, even tho i did the exact same lib/inc importing as in vs 2015. Anyway, it's solved now

 

[Infernum]

errors and warnings are completely different things
otc has like 1500~ warnings when you compile

Humm, interesting. I'll try again later with 2k17, although compiling with 2k15 didn't return errors at all

After compilation, where can I set the server's IP or dns by default?

I would like my client or players to just click on play or update when there is an update.
