I am trying and failing to compile the H-URU fork of MOUla. I get this error:

Code: Select all

CoreLib.lib(plString.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pcre_free


I tried pointing it to a version 7 release but this did not work, where do I get a Windows release of the correct or correct version? The Wiki does not say.

Do you have the latest master? If not take a look if you have the first line in this file:
https://github.com/H-uru/Plasma/blob/ma ... eLists.txt

I got the latest last night and I do have that line in my CMakeList.txt. I re-ran CMake and it worked fine. It's Visual Studio that is having the problem. I have built H-uru MOUla(or whatever they call it) on this setup before but it failed to compile last night after I got latest .

Your linker cannot find the PCRE library. Please check the PCRE_LIBRARY path in CMake. It should be set to the pcre.lib file.

Cmake is pointed to the correct file, no successes compiling. What version of pcre do I need? I got a per-complied version of version 7. Do I need version 8? Should the library be statically built(there is a check-box that is checked by default in CMake)

If you are using a static build of PCRE you'll also have to check the box.

Latest PCRE 8.32 works fine for me. I recommend you compile it yourself.

Right I will give that a try.

Well I'm on my way to getting a working client, after struggling with VS inability to recanize certurn paths. Looks like I need to recompile PCRE with UTF8 support.

Ah, I encountered that problem too. You have to check UTF_SUPPORT somewhere in PCRE CMake.

I figured that out actually. Did you also get an error about not being able to return an array from a function when compiling PRCE? I think I "fixed" that the wrong way(I failed to correct the sinture). Also for anyone reading this PRCE must be compiled "As an administaro" if you have UAC on in Windows Vistia or 7.
