Possibly my buld environment is shot ?

All components installed? Build Prerequisites

I followed the windows8 instructions.
So some .NET downloads were not needed.
Installed ... GIT, mfc, NuGet. I may need to recheck yasm.

I think at this stage I ought to revisit the environment.

 

[vapourEyes]

YASM installed to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\BuildCustomizations

Hasn't fixed the build any.

Will check other git commit versions I have here now.

This surprises me: Relese instead of Release and "'BuildInit.bat' is not recognized..."
I think there's something really strange going on...
How do you start that MSBUILD_Rebuild_All_MediaPortal_Relese.bat? Just doubleclicking it?
In the end, that buildinit.bat is in the same folder as the ...Release.bat, so it should find it...

Edit: perhaps you can try to just compile the tvserver in visual studio? How far do you get with that?

Hi, agreed, it is odd.

So far:
I have tried to build filters, tvlibrary and tvplugin in VS2013. Errors result in tvplugin with missing library references.
The first missing library reference being, GUI.

So I popped here and followed win8 setup instructions.

I have invoked all .bat build scripts inside an MS build command prompt and outside, both from the top level folder, invoking build\buildScript...bat and within the folder issuing the command without the build prefix.

I'm stumped.

Moreover, I have multiple MediaPortal versions here all compiling fine up to 1.22 I think the last one was.
So this new 1.23 and I think 1.24 have caused me headaches this end.

Could it be vs2013 though? Maybe I should try with 2015 ?

 

[vapourEyes]

Building the Pre-Req DirectShow filters at an MSStudio Developer Prompt, yields:

The system cannot find the path specified.
'BuildReport\msxsl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

 

[doskabouter]

strange indeed.
I don't remember big changes (that could cause this) in the last 2 MP versions.
Don't know if vs2013 still works (i'm on 2015 and 2019 and possibly 2017) so you could have a go at it with 2015.
But if it's going to be only to create a tv server plugin then in the end, you only need to compile that and put it in it's place?

And compiling the c++ stuff can be really frustrating, most of the time I just copy the c++ dll's from a MP installation into the correct subfolder in bin\debug.

 

[vapourEyes]

Excellent advice !

I only need tvplugin and have been doing the bare minimum to get my grubby mits on it.

I think its time to try 2015 and see where I get. If you had success with 2015, then I can aim for that.

Thanks to all !

 

[doskabouter]

well why not switch to 2019? Only thing that could by tricky (or helpful!) is new syntax not supported by 2015

Did just that.

Under a developer command prompt I now get a nuget download failure.
Wonder if its due to a secure download failing coz tls1.2 or something ?
