VS2005 build environment

[JustFred]

@wnjj: After following your latest instructions, I'm still not able to build any of the windows targets. I get reams of "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'streams.h': No such file or directory", and "warning C4005: 'vsnprintf': macro redefinition".

Do we also need to make the changes you referred to in http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...5&postcount=26
and also change all references from:
#include <streams.h>
to
#include <iostream>

I'm really itching to build the native code (including all the .dlls), since I'm trying to dig into a couple of scanning/tuning issues that caused non-network clear-QAM tuners to be unusable in Sage7.

My latest instructions were only for the exe's themselves. You will get streams.h errors with anything related to DirectX. That comes from the DirectX SDK sample code and you also have to build strmbase.lib from the directshow\baseclasses project in the sample code. A really weird process if you ask me. Even with that lib and include, I had to add vcruntime.lib;ucrt.lib (vcruntimed.lib;ucrtd.lib for the debug builds) to the library path for MpegDeMux3.0, StrmDeMux, FileSource, MpegMux and MPEG2Dump.

I also had to remove WS_EX_NOINHERITLAYOUT from TSSplitter.rc.

This #ifdef I posted earlier to handle snprintf/vsnprintf, I applied to SDeMuxFilter.h and NativeCore.h.

#if (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER < 1900))
  #define snprintf _snprintf
  #define vsnprintf  vsnprintf
#endif

I haven't yet figured out what it takes to either build natively with DX9 or convert the code to the latest (which is included in the latest Windows SDK). Targetting XP is challenging and there isn't much help online. I'm brand new to DirectX coding so that doesn't help.

If you want to build HCWIRBlaster.lib:

Run:

dumpbin /exports HCWIRBlaster.dll > HCWIRBlaster.def
Open HCWIRBlaster.def in some text editor and edit it to contain only the names of exported functions in form of:
                         EXPORTS
                         function_1_name
                         function_2_name
                         function_3_name
                         ...

Then run:
lib /def:HCWIRBlaster.def /out:hcwIRBlast.lib /machine:x86

But again, that's only part of getting this going. I'm off on something else for now.

I guest newer sagetv exe wasn't updating the EPG, so had restore the old v7 exe on server side as newer sagetv exe just dosen't take in count for no license check.

Did you define the environment variable 'SAGETVUSERKEY'? That's what the launcher exe pushes into the Java environment for V9.

If this is going on a working and registered windows v7 install, that shouldn't be needed, as the registration info is already in the windows registry. There might be something else mucking up your EPG data, as I have had no issues with mind upgrading, and I did not set the registration key - just dropped in the JAR's.

The V9 exe doesn't seem to read the reg for the key like V7 did. V7 exe with V9 jar works like you said but I don't think V9 exe does.

In the exe launcher:

    char serialKey[256]="";
	if (GetEnvironmentVariable("SAGETVUSERKEY", serialKey, 255) <= 0) {
		strcpy(serialKey, "NOKEY");
	}
	jclass sysCls = env->FindClass("java/lang/System");
	jmethodID sysMeth = env->GetStaticMethodID(sysCls, "setProperty", "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;");
	env->CallStaticObjectMethod(sysCls, sysMeth, env->NewStringUTF("USERKEY"), env->NewStringUTF(serialKey));

In Java:

  public static String getEPGLicenseKey() {
    return Sage.WINDOWS_OS ? System.getProperty("USERKEY") : IOUtils.getFileAsString(new java.io.File("activkey"));
  }

Y'know, that's possible. I never replaced the launchers on my server.

That the problem so there for the EPG never getting update after copy over you newer files 8 days back when you build the newer exe then on sunday 20 I saw the problem when looking thur my guide I only 6 day left.
So look in sagetv log as I was seeing in log (ERROR Updating EPG Source DISH Tulsa - Tulsa.)

And that dose tell me how

As I understand it with Linux "built from source: put your SageTV license key in a file called 'activkey' in the same folder as your SageTV install" this is eazy open a edited paste the my sage key in it and save as activkey with no file extension at emd

Now with Windows "built from source: put your SageTV license key in a global environment variable called 'SAGETVUSERKEY'" and there no example of this.

Variables = SAGETVUSERKEY

I'd use system because I think the service mode may use a different account. System means all users have the variable set and not just the one currently logged in.

Thanks

Success! I've been able to migrate the build environment (for Windows native code) from vs2005 to vs2015. It's in the repo now, so this thread has run its course. The new VS2015 thread is here:

I don't see where the SageTVClient.exe gets built from.

You should be able to change the project target to "Client Debug" or "Client Release" to build those. There's a dropdown box at the top.

Oh duh, I see. Thank you.
