Compiling the XashXT code.

Hello!

I've been a lurker for some time, popping on and off these forums. This is really a great place for improvements to Half-Life.

Also I apologize in advanced for any language barriers that crop up. I'm relying on poor translation methods to even read the forums.

As my topic line suggests i'm having a bit of an issue. I understand how to compile the Half-Life SDK, i've been doing so with a revamped 2.3 copy that is compatible with newer compilers.

The problem i'm having has to do with the XashXT code. It's not compatible with the newer versions of said compilers. I've heard that when it comes to the 2.3 SDK you can use Codeblocks with different settings to compile the code. However, the bottom line is, that Visual Studio 6.0 will not even install on my machine, because it is Windows 7 - 64 bit. So i'm basically stuck right now.

I was wondering if any of you code savvy geniuses out there had a workaround that I might be able to use.

I'd really like to work with XashXT's features and to be able to build a mod on top of those features, but many of the things i'd like to implement and change require changes to the code before I can really get serious about it.

Thank you one and all for your time.

OpenMaw First: VC++ 6.0 works on Windows 7 x64, i sure in it.
Two: You can download VC++ 6.0 to VC++ 7.0 converter and convert the project. I think it's don't gives many errors, anyway, i think this problems is easy to solve.

yes, I can run VS6 on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

fire64 yeah, it's really runs, and on windows 8 x64 too.

Main problem is that the source code is not compatible with versions of the VS above 2005. There are would be a lot of errors and warnings because of changes to the language standard.

If this problem is still actual, I could make version of the source code for the Visual Studio 2005 and above.

I apologize.

I assumed that it didn't properly install (as in, did not install at all) because of the installation errors I received.

Up and compiling XashXT.

Thanks guys. I'm sorry.

Speaking about VS6 on Win7 x64,when I debugging my application and terminating the debuger, application which I'm debugging stays unterminated until i close vs,am I the only one who encounters that problem?
