Build enviroment

[ColtB45]

I think I have a fix to the cad problem but need to recompile the source to test.

I am currently trying to build UltraVNC (winvnc.exe) from source. I have scoured these forums and have yet to find a fix to my problem. I can currently build the 1.0.8.2 source into an executable without error. However, the size is off and certain things don't work, MSlogon, the about screen on WinVNC server, etc. What is the required build environment?

I have tried on Clean installs of WinXP and Win7(x64) with no SDKs installed and it doesn't make any difference.

This is what I am currently using:

Furthermore, the 1.0.8.0 source compiles fine and everything works. It's only the 1.0.8.2 source I have a problem with.

[Rudi De Vos]

what's the error you get ?

[ColtB45]

I don't actually get any build errors. That's the weirdest part.

My resulting 1.0.8.2 winvnc.exe executable is 1,582,592 bytes from unmodified source. The uvnc.com distributed binary is 1,590,216 bytes. Add to that the about screen, the configuration windows, msloogon auth, and a host of other things don't work on the 1.0.8.2 that I compiled. It's as if the source is incomplete or there are different libraries being used.

This is the entire build log.

I was able to get 1.0.8.2 (Rev. 495) to build correctly by making the following change.

Thank you for working at this. Please let us know if you can verify that that the source ever produces the distributed binaries...

Thank you for working at this. Please let us know if you can verify that that the source ever produces the distributed binaries...

The source produces the binaries and they are fully functional.

Very cool. Thank you.

[teacherwilli]

Sorry, but, where have i to do this changes? Filename? Project-Properties?

Thanks!

[helpkey]

Can anyone get the winvnc source 1.0.8 to compile and link into a Windows executable?

I've tried using Visual Studio 2006 and 2008.
I have the the up to date SP and SDK.

I get absolutely nowhere with 2008. Using VS2006 I get as far as a failed Link with 147 unresolved externals.

Any help?

[teacherwilli]

With VisualStudio2008 you have to open the projektfile for example winvnc.sln for winvnc.
I can compile it without errors, but if I run the build winvnc.exe I get the error:
"Diese Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, weil die Anwendungskonfiguration nicht korrekt ist..."

Have anyone an idea for solving this problem???

Thanks!
