UNICODE Mode Required
Author
Hi,
Im trying to compile the sample programs that use the framework in the DX9.0c SDK, but it comes up with the following error:
ERROR: The sample framework requires a Unicode build. If you are using Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, under the General tab of the project properties change the Character Set to 'Use Unicode Character Set
I tried adding the following line to the preprocessor bit in the project settings:
UNICODE,_UNICODE
However, that did not solve the problems. Any suggestions?
I'm Using MSVC6 on a Windows XP Platform.

That sorted that problem, BUT
I have other problems now:
NOTE: WINVER has been defined as 0x0500 or greater which enables
Windows NT 5.0 and Windows 98 features. When these headers were released,
Windows NT 5.0 beta 1 and Windows 98 beta 2.1 were the current versions.
For this release when WINVER is defined as 0x0500 or greater, you can only
build beta or test applications. To build a retail application,
set WINVER to 0x0400 or visit http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk
to see if retail Windows NT 5.0 or Windows 98 headers are available.
See the SDK release notes for more information.

Ok, the last error i have now until more pop up is:
z:\dx9csdk\samples\c++\common\dxutmisc.h(651) : error C2065: '__noop' : undeclared identifier
its used in the dxutmisc.h file many times, but is not declared anywhere :(

Take a look at what the __noop preprocessor keyword does. It's kind of obscure, but I guess there's a use for everything. [smile]
Basically, it means "I don't want you to execute any function right here. Ignore the parameter list". Citing the MSDN example:
Compiled with /DDEBUG defined, the code would actually be the following:
void main() {
printf( "\nhello\n" );
}
Compiled without /DDEBUG defined, the code would read:
void main() {
__noop( "\nhello\n" );
}
Since __noop means no operation, nothing will be printed. The final code would be (after the preprocessor is through with it):
void main() {
}
Anyways, VC6 doesn't support __noop. So you have to go through and edit the header manually. If you see a #define with __noop, just remove it. Make sure you save a back-up copy [wink].

Theres hundreds of errors in MSVC6 due differences for example:
for(int i =0; i<=9; i++)
{
//BLAHBLAHBLAH
}
MSVC6, i is now a function variable
MSVC7, i only existes within the for loop.
There are many similar errors =(
for(int i =0; i<=9; i++)
{
//BLAHBLAHBLAH
}
MSVC6, i is now a function variable
MSVC7, i only existes within the for loop.

For this specific inconsistency, you can do:
#define for if(0); else for
to overcome it.

[dead] hehe that is such an evil trick...almost as bad as:
#define for while(true); for
