Wiki Contribute section for TVServer seems to not be descriptive enough (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I'm trying to compile the latest master on Windows 8 using VS2012 Express. I've installed the SDKs but no matter what I do, I can't seem to build any of the directshow filters from scratch. Is the Wiki up to date on this, or does it require further explanation. Can anyone do a step by step process to build the directshow filters?

Thanks,

Chris

can you post errors you get when trying to build?

I set it up once and it is hard to remember what i have done on other way as wiki said.

Hi Vasilich,

It mainly seems to be the included base classes such as Stream.h. I've compiled according to the Wiki but it doesn't clearly explain where you need to add these directories once they're compiled. Currently got 101 Errors and 2678 Warnings!

Is there a clearer step by step process?

Hi @tourettes,

It appears that step 5 is where I am failing. I've built the DS base class but where do I stick the variables? It is in VC++ , C++ etc that we put the paths as whenever I run the build script (or from within VS) it can never find the DS libararies that I've just built!

You need to add environment variables like shown in: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

Variable name = WINDOWS_SDK Value = C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\vX.X\
Variable name = DXSDK_DIR Value = C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (YYYYYYY XXXX)\
Variable name = DSHOW_BASE Value = C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\vX.X\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses\

I'll be honest guys, you might want to add this bit in as I thought it referred to options within VS not just windows.

There will be some bigger chnages to MP build process in near future - I'll update the build instructions at that moment.
