Compile with Visual Studio .NET 2003 (NOT from command line)

Hi.
I'm trying to create a solution with Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 because I would like to debug Celestia in Visual Studio:

- I downloaded the current sources of Celestia (1.4.1)
- I converted all the .dsp from UNIX format to PC format
- I opened it with Visual Studio 2003 and I converted the .dsw in a solution (.sln)
- All the projects compiled without problems, except for the project "Celestia". When I built this project all the .cpp were correct, but there were some linking errors. In the following lines I copied only 6 of the 45 unresolved externals:

**********

Celestia error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __thiscall DSODatabase::getDSOName(class DeepSkyObject const * const &)const " (?getDSOName@DSODatabase@@QBE?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@ABQBVDeepSkyObject@@@Z)

**********

I also tryed to modify the properties of each project as shown in this mail http://www.celestiaproject.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5305, but it didn't work.

Is there anybody who tried to do the same before me? I read on the forum that the current .dsw is not upgradated. Is there a simple way to correct it?
Or is there an oldest version (hopefully not too old :) ) of Celestia wich compile correctly in Visual Studio 2003 (not from command line)?

Thank You :)

I couldn't even convert to solutions :( perhaps, if you solve above problem, you could donate new solution/project files to the team so we all would use it?

You certainly misconfigured something. I am compiling Celestia@CVS with VS++ 2003.Net since years without any problems whatsoever.

It can't be that hard to read the VS instructions carefully and then set up the project files properly. Otherwise, the whole Microsoft sales idea would be a failure ;-) . Since quite a lot of files are generated (given that the solution 'Celestia' contains a number of projects, each with its own set of project files) you will have to go on trying yourself, I am afraid.

Anyway, after reading the VS instructions I just proceeded without encountering major problems. So there is still hope ;-) . Notably since I am mainly working with Linux ...


Bye Fridger

I do have a " every thing you nead " zip file that was on my site
i can upload it to file factory tomarow ( sat) if you want
I do like using Fedora 6 , so much less hassale

I compiled version 1.4.1 with MSVS .NET 2003, but still there are some problems. If I manage to solve them, I will post my .sln and .vcproj files :)

Thanks, bye
