I get the following errors compiling empire 2.03 (for D) when it gets to winmain.d (I have no idea what to do about them):

Anyone here have the same problem? Are there any solutions? (Most likely I am doing something wrong...)

(Oh by the way, this is running make after it cleanly ran for everything before winmain with no errors...)

Byron,

It appears Walter has been slack with his casting, the function call on line 397 looks like:

DialogBoxParamA(global.hinst, "InitBox", hwnd,
    global.lpfnInitDlgProc, 0);

which should read:

DialogBoxParamA(global.hinst, "InitBox", hwnd,
    cast(DLGPROC)global.lpfnInitDlgProc, 0);

The same goes for the others, here are the fixed versions:

line 454: DialogBoxParamA(global.hinst, "AboutBox", hwnd,
    cast(DLGPROC)global.lpfnAboutDlgProc, 0) ;

line 1071: DialogBoxParamA(global.hinst, "CitySelectBox", global.hwnd,
    cast(DLGPROC)global.lpfnCitySelectDlgProc, 0) ;

Thanks! I am going to try it tomorrow... (gotta sleep and do the work thing...I'd rather get paid to stay home and play with Empire source code, though, if I had *MY* way).

OK... (a LONG time later)...

I finally got the Empire source code in D to compile... yay!!!

I had three problems, though:

First, was the casting bit that Regan so helpfully corrected for me (see copy of
his post below).

Second, I kept getting an error on not finding "va_list" in printf.d or something like that. From reading dsource.org, I figured out I needed to include the line "include std.stdarg;" in printf.d and all was well...until...

Third, make died on empire.rc because it couldn't find cursor.bmp or empire.ico. I commented out the two lines because I have no idea where to get the files. So I get an executable, but it's not really complete.

Am I supposed to have this much fun trying to compile something? I'm just a newbie at all of this, and I almost couldn't figure it out.

Does anyone know of a better way to fix #2 and #3 than my solutions?

Is Walter going to update his empire D source code?
